I don't want Nahas or Riewoldt. Both are overrated. Riewoldt would be a cultural disaster for us. All he does is point and yell. I think the plan is to get rid of those types.

Nahas would be a perfect small forward for us. Iv seen the guy change the flow of games on several occasions. Including against us.

whats with all the latest paul chapman rant lately?

Strauss wants to re-sign and will likely sign a 2 year deal before the end of the year.

He's not going anywhere.

Good news re Strauss - Wouldn't mind the Dees signing up Blease either!!!

Both finally starting to show potential!!!

Anyway back to the rumours - I think we get compensation from the AFL if Rivo decides to leave????? And yes he is a Un-restricted FA and can move to any club he likes....

If riv or Moloney leave I hope we get a late 2nd rounder at least.

also mentions that charlie dixon could be on the move. if we could get a deal done that involved day and dixon (although this is obviously unlikely to happen), we could go along way to building a young and promising forward line, a bit like wce with kennedy, darling, cox/naitanui and lynch

Day and Dixon -> Moloney, Petterd, 3rd round pick

YES!!! Dixon is a massive unit! Dixon & Clarky! Big forward line with Howe roving or pinch hitting!

Would have Dixon!

Someone of big fish staus will end up at MFC. The time has come where we can & will compete with all other clubs involving trades.

The Demons are ready to rock financially but will no doubt be smart about all trades.

This is as exciting as it gets for us this year being trade time which is sad.... but if this is what it takes then we go get em!

You seen Brent Moloney play?

Just as I thought Blease was signed, sealed, delivered, I heard to the contrary!

Bugger.

That he was not signed, sealed, delivered yet.

Can't divulge too much, but my mail tells me he's been wooed and is getting quite chuffed by the attention he's getting from a couple of clubs.

I heard the Strauss rumour at the President lunch the other week. Also heard we are massively into Caddy.

Why dont we go for Jed Anderson

Sounds like a winner

Then they can pay overs for the kid.

I don't reckon we should let him go without a bit of a fight.

I think it was Todd Viney who said that this kid is going to be a 'star'

GWS pre-listed, you'll find.

Couldnt we try get jed for unders? Since gws need to make space.

Like Saad

Oh dear.

Trust our luck that he pulls a great game out of his behind just as we get contract negotiations started.

FML!

Blease will stay, my mail is he's happy with club and Neeld. If as you say he's enjoying the attention it's because it's added $50-100k to his salary. But he will be in red & blue for the next 3 years at least

Hope so - but, I'm nervous as my mail is quite close to the boy.

btw, PSD, how's our small forward progressing, the left footer? is he still ripping them up?

Then they can pay overs for the kid.

Will be hard, players can leave if they are not in the clubs top 25% of paid players......would think we could match any bids that come our way if we are super keen to keep him, which we will be. Not 100% how all that side of free agency works.

Yep Richo still going well probably on target to kick 50 as a small forward, but in a very good side, Tigers have WAFL in the bag unless they fall into a massive hole, on the WAFL one kid worth a look at who could slip through to 40's/50's Marco Paparone decent size mid doesn't have great speed but does possess a good tank for a young in. Good footy brain and from the couple of games I've seen could be a poor mans Simon Black. Could be worth a punt if he is still there with our third round pick the kid seems to me to have great work ethic and to get the most out of himself, believe he would fit in well under Neeld

Whats this rule now?

I thought that if a player left they need to go into the draft?

i think he's getting mixed up with some new rule that's a part of free agency.

As i said i think its a free agency thing, but clubs can match the wages offered to some players, maybe the top 25% on their list, if they dont match the wages the player can leave. This may only be for restricted free agents or i am confused?
