Since Free Agency will be a constant threat/force in AFL circles, next years crop of FA's is shpaing up to be even bigger than 2012!!

Along with Buddy Franklin, and after a bit of research im sure there is plenty more names, and just decent players, up for FA in 2013

Daisy would be an amazing pickup for our midfield you would think. Pace, attack, flair/x-factor, and has definitly grown into a more mature player the last 2 seasons

 

Freo will be all over Franklin like a fat kid and cake.

We should be too - as will most other clubs. He is a freak on the field and probably draws crowds better than any other player in the league.

No we shouldn't.

We have already spent enough on Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Pederson...

You're pigeon-holing him as a forward with those comments.

He's much more versatile than that.

I was talking about Buddy, in reply to your comment about Buddy.

But you knew that.

Well when you said his more versatile then Dawes, Clark, Pederson and Hogan, can you explain what you meant specifically?

 

If you have a chance to get a one in a generation player like Lance Franklin, you try and get him. When a player of his calibre and profile is on the line, forget about structures and that stuff.

If you have a few Ferrari's and then you realize you have enough money for a Lamborghini would you buy the lambo?

I think I would prefer to spend the money on a house or a boat rather then another car.

Okay.

Buddy runs through the guts, playing the midfielder role pretty well. I am certain that any of our players you mentioned above are not able to do that, at this current point in time.

Just personally I'd buy a house before I bought a Ferrari...

But anyway, yes because it's called upgrading.

It's not like all three of the guys you named are going to fill the forward line for the next decade anyway - stuff happens.

Funny how Collingwood are re-writing history in that article. Lynch was recruited before Dawes was traded to Melbourne, and it is because of that, Dawes wanted to leave because of diminishing opportunities. "Like for like trading policy", what bollocks.

Capitol "C", cc?

I'm not so sure. Our culture is the Most important thing right now. Trying to rectify decades of a miserable one.

So great on field & off field leaders are that which we need most.

Lamborghinies have Ferrari engines though.

Dale Thomas is a more intersting prospect than Lance Franklin given our list.

Yeah Lance would be nice, but we need midfielders, i think it would be a waste to go for another forward personally no matter how good he is

Yes ............. and perhaps a (small) outside chance - whereas Buddy is no chance at all - absolutely no chance at all

Dale Thomas is a more intersting prospect than Lance Franklin given our list.

And coaching staff

Edit: And salary cap space

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
