With Nic-Nat coming out of contract do we give ourselves any chance of putting up an offer that could tempt him? I'm sure Frawley would be looked at by West Coast as a perfect replacement for Glass next year.

I reckon he is overrated, would much rather see us pick up mundy for a couple of years, Goldstein is a free agent this year but we'd have to pay overs to get him

He is a gamer changer - how many of those are there in the AFL ?

Even if we drafted him ahead of Watts he would have made his way back to WA by now. He aint goin anywhere

5mil 5 years is supposedly what they were saying on AFL360 iirc

Lol, no thanks

Isn't that the sort of money we're paying Clark and Dawes who can't get on the park?

Not saying I'd go after Nic Nat though.

As people have mentioned, overrated, very overrated. I'd much rather us look at getting Fyfe for 800k per year. Gawn will step up and so will the other Max, King, we'll be right with our rucks.

most overrated player in history

No, there is a bloke at GWS being paid Ablett money, who wins that by a country mile.

An infrequent one at that.

It is good for us that both Nic Nat and Fyfe are out of contract at years end.

Both WA clubs will have to offer these blokes big money.

The less money these WA clubs have to throw at Hogan, the better.

But if they clear the space in the salary cap and lose either of these two (or a player like Mundy) then they will have $$ to throw about at the end of 2015

I'd advise every club to put in an offer. He's probably not leaving but may as well up the price they will pay him.

Josh Kennedy is a legit top key forward. And they have some very nice solid midfielders in Masten, Selwood, Shuey. But so far Nic Nat is the only player on their list who really looks like a game breaker. Which isn't that amazing we don't even have one player who can claim that and a lot of clubs have one at best. But my point remains Nic Nat at this stage is their great hope. If West Coast take themselves out of future serious quality FA discussion by paying Nic Nat over 1 mil per year then that's great for everyone.

He is just over paid not overrated. Still has potential to be a very good footballer in son emerging outfit. He is just overpaid for it....by s country mile

Yes, he might still come good but I maintain that a person's remuneration is usually directly related to how highly he is ranked and therefore, he's overrated.

I too reckon he's overrated. The year he made AA he didn't come top 10 in his B&F.

That said, I reckon he'd rather drink acid than play for us. Also, there's no way he'd contemplate leaving West Coast. He loves the place.

And it would be a tad embarrassing when we could have had him.

On many fronts this is a disastrous suggestion.

I think with the club debeloent over the past few seasons, we could have picked any of Dangerfield, Fyfe, Natanui.. And all would be less the footballers that they are now had they arrived at Melbourne. In which case we would probably be talking about the athleticism of watts running around subiaco, blease tearing up the gabba and the like. I know there have been se disastrous selections, but poor development is the backbone of our struggles now.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
