Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Anyone throwing Rory Sloanes name into the ring can forget it.

Why would he come back when his parents just moved from Upwey to Glenelg?

And the fact we told him we were gonna pick him and didn't

If we have any brains at all we should offer:

Fyfe: 7 years at a million a year

Danger: 7 years at 1.2 million a year

Tex: 5 years at 1 million a year

We have to go totally loco on this free agency business.

You like money.

different players.

IMO re the tall forward, I think we do not want a one dimension tall forward.

I want a big fella who plays tall full forward (195cm+), CHF just as well, & into the ruck with genuine effectiveness. I'd like our tall forwards to be able to change forward roles with one another.

can Patton play the ruck? essentially its the Clark role.

we need to draft a key defender, & trade for another mature Mid. another tyson type deal.

Cam Pedersen's filling that role manfully at the moment. We also have Fitzy in the wings, however whether he'll develop to fill that role or not who knows?

Some options out there for Mitch's role IMO are Daniel Gorringe from GC, Liam McBean from Richmond, yet to play a game but reckon he's going to be good and Robbie Tarrant from North.

Treloar of GWS is said to be unhappy over in the west sydney badlands and will be on his bike home at end of year.

IMO, he's better value than Scully and definitely worth looking at.

I have been saying it for years, Treloar is GWS's best young midfielder.

I rate him just as highly as O'Meara and would happily see the club go after him. He wouldn't come easy or cheap but he would be worth it (lining up next to Tyson and Viney around the bounce).

Quite interestingly many rated he and Cameron as the best two U18 talents (some slipped in Patton) just prior to the 2011 Draft, as we know GWS had already claimed them.

EDIT: Thanks for the info Jack. I didn't realize he was unhappy up there. Certainly sheds more line on Tyson's joke about living in Western Sydney at the start of year introduction (AGM I think).

Agreed, Treloar is a hard running midfielder disposal that definitely hurts the opposition. Would be glad to give up our first round pick for him and a player. 1st round pick + Blease

Treloar doesn't like Roos, well he said he was his least favorite journalist when he was doing all that stuff.

So dunno...

Sounds stupid I know.

I'd be real surprised if Roosy is not in the face of a few Swans players to get the to the Dees. Between him n Stone I'm sure there will be the odd coffee or phone call here n there. I'm not sure of Luke Parkers contract situation but geez id love him at the Dees!

your right Pedro is doing a great job atmo.

I've got a feeling a few of these types may become available over the course of the next 2 years, & maybe we can rookie one that has been delisted. that we can rehabilitate. we don't want to choke up our development pathway with key players at the same level of progression.

I think the crows have too many as well.

I still feel Fitzy's ontrack, but has taken a half step back just now, I think because of the tall man injuries we had early this year, may have overexposed him before he's ready. everyone matures at their own pace. you can't force it, that have to decide internally, they're ready to do it.

The rumour Treloar wants out appears to be popping up elsewhere also.

http://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=85434

I'm not entirely sure when his contract expires, that forum suggest the end of next year. Although if he wants out and the right deal comes along beforehand GWS may agree a year earlier.

I also find it amusing that they suggest his desired clubs as "St. Kilda, Collingwood, and Essendon". At this point if he does ask to relocate back to Victoria I don't think it would matter as long as the club is showing signs (for him) and the best deal can be struck (for GWS).

I'm sure Fremantle would be thrilled to let him out of a well payed three year contract just one year in.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jack-riewoldt-signs-three-year-contract-extension-with-richmond-knocking-back-fremantle-offer/story-fni5f9jb-1226685259617

maybe some trades will happen at end of year? I wonder if this was a deliberate planned, talk to the media?

now who needs a full forward? malthouse, lyon, simpson, richardson, mccartney, hinkley, Emcguire

and who needs a coach?

those $kill set$ are just what we'd be looking for, if we went scouting for danger.

St Kilda, Collingwood & Essendon?

Can't see why he'd want to go to St Kilda, and they need to use their high picks on tall forwards much more than they need more mids, even if they are of the bluechip variety.

Essendon have nothing much to trade, and are still under the ASADA cloud.

Colligwood is the only plausible option there, but even still I doubt he'd be giving lists like this at such an early stage.

He's simply not in a position to be making demands as to where he goes, unless his destination club ponies up with an equitable deal, and that means giving up a lot.

Dom Tyson gives us an advantage in my eyes.

Surely we look a better prospect than saints or bombers and we'd have the assets to satisfy a trade plus Dom is here

Couldn't agree more mate.

I always find it amusing when these rumours pop up from time to time regarding the players "desired club".

I remember once upon a time when everyone was linking Tyson as a near certainty to Richmond.

Yep, contracted till end of 2015. If he agitates for a move, GWS may consider trade. Might also play hard ball given he's preformed well and they might want to start sending a message to any other wantaways.

If the kid wants to come home and we offer the best financial deal (given the Clark sized hole in the payroll and potential Frawley departure, we would be able to offer plenty), and have the best trading chips, can't imagine him getting too choosy.

If you want to go window shopping, GWS Contract List

2015 is correct for Treloar. Along with Shiel, Patton and a fair few others

They will understand that this year is their chance to get good trades for these guys, leave it to next year and they risk them walking, i reckon we should have a good crack at Treloar and Patton, especially if chip leaves and we have a couple of top 10 picks

I concur on Treloar. He was a little outside in previous years, but he seems to have developed inside game more. Would offer our first rounder for him in a heartbeat.

St Kilda, Collingwood & Essendon?

Well, I'd agree, except Taylor Adams made demands without showing even half of what Treloar has. I agree with everything else though.

Spot on. This off season is the time. It's fortunate that we're just starting to show an upward trajectory. It seems to be coinciding with the down turn of a few lists. I reckon we're a shot if we keep improving this season.

He was a near certainty, they just couldn't get the deal done. I think they will be reviewing that one as a poor decision, the Tiges that is.

Judging by a few posts it seems because Dom came from GWS then his mates will want to join him. I'm not sure that's a compelling reason and who knows which players are his mates anyway.

There is a good reason to join us now though and that is the development and opportunity you would get at Melbourne with the quality of Roos, Stone and Allison and onfield leadership now in place to help grow a career.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
