Machsy 2,858 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 some nice players should be squeezed out of Sydney now Luke Parker anyone? How about Mitch Morton, a retired Jude Bolton with no desire to coach, and a crippled Marty Mattner? That, coupled with the departures of Mumford and White will ensure the Swans have plenty of cap space without squeezing required players.
Deeoldfart 8,199 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wow That truly is impressive by the Swans if that happens...... Yeah, but it's a hell of a lot easier when you have close to an extra $ million in your salary cap.
drdrake 3,203 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 GWS is going to be the AFL's biggest basket case, players don't wont to go there and players want to leave. The Gold Coast at least can sell G Ablett aand the lifestyle.

Pennant St Dee 13,433 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Rumours are one thing... riding on the back of others' rumours and claiming credit is another. you got it in one, I can't believe others don't see through it. It's like reading the front page of the Beano!
drdrake 3,203 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Remind me again of all of their gun players who are returning to Vic after having just finished their first contracts? Tell me who are their gun players, J cameron, is one and the others are potential that will be picked off as they develop
Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,680 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Tell me who are their gun players, J cameron, is one and the others are potential that will be picked off as they develop Was really hoping we would chase Dylan Shiel, but he,like most of his contemporaries has signed a new contract through the year. He'll, even Adams may stay now Buddy isn't going. I've been amazed at their ability to hang on to so many kids who are so obviously talented. By not getting burdened with a massive contract for Buddy does them a favour IMO, they will have Patten, Boyd and Cameron being fed by fantastic mids (who wouldn't take Toby Green). They will have the ability to contract who they want, front loading many. Everyone said clubs would raid GWS after two years. How's that been going?
Demoneyes 562 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 So you think they will definitely take Boyd? If so our number 2 becomes gold to other clubs
stuie 7,374 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 So you think they will definitely take Boyd? If so our number 2 becomes gold to other clubs What? Surely you mean that the other way around right?! If Boyd was guaranteed to be available at pick 2 THEN it would be gold.
Demoneyes 562 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 What? Surely you mean that the other way around right?! If Boyd was guaranteed to be available at pick 2 THEN it would be gold. Not sure. If Boyd off the table and clubs want to get the best pick we have it! Not all clubs are after a Tom Boyd
Demoneyes 562 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Just heard that GWS will swap Pick 1 to us for Pick 2, they can't stand the pressure! Source: 2 drunks outside a Thirsty Camel

dee-luded 2,959 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 So you think they will definitely take Boyd? If so our number 2 becomes gold to other clubs its likely GWS may take Fyfe for P1. and I reckon then they'll start to trade for some other mature bodied players. this could be the biggest trade period ever. hold on to your hat, we have competition for the mature players we want ourselves. I wonder if there will be quite a few kids left over from the draft, with clubs taking many mature players. the preseason/rookie drafts may be interesting this year.

old55 23,860 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 its likely GWS may take Fyfe for P1. Far LESS likely if Buddy does go to Sydney. GWS will take Boyd.
Demoneyes 562 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 is that a rumour, or a fact? this is the rumour page didn't you know!Maybe just a little bit of rumour its likely GWS may take Fyfe for P1. and I reckon then they'll start to trade for some other mature bodied players. this could be the biggest trade period ever. hold on to your hat, we have competition for the mature players we want ourselves. I wonder if there will be quite a few kids left over from the draft, with clubs taking many mature players. the preseason/rookie drafts may be interesting this year. It certainly will be interesting - no doubt! Nearly as exciting as awaiting the news of our new coach last month - and nearly as drawn out!
olisik 4,060 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved.
Demon_Tingles 211 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved. Yep Fyfe will leave Freo for the bottom two clubs in the league
Dees2014 2,377 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 If he goes to Sydney, GWS would surely take Boyd with #1. This devalues our #2 doesn't it? Since the previous speculation was if they got Buddy, they may skip Boyd at #1? Not sure I agree. If GWS take Boyd (which I think they will do), this means that our pick 2 becomes the most valuable tradable pick in the draft for all other clubs. That should be worth quite a lot in a draft which thins out quite quickly after pick 30 apparently. Incidentally, there is speculation that GWS will pay serious attention to any trade for an experienced ruckman with 3-4 years left in him. Surely we could package something up involving Jamar to get one or two of their gun mids? Could be good value for us.

Dees2014 2,377 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved. No no no. That is way over the top. Fyfe isn't that good. Fitzy will be better than any of them, and be a gun in the midfield - mark my words.
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 No no no. That is way over the top. Fyfe isn't that good. Fitzy will be better than any of them, and be a gun in the midfield - mark my words. What?
