Players to target at the end of the year

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Fyfe just stated he turned down a 7 year 8 million dollar offer, I wonder who that was, probably gws

You could possibly also post this on the James Frawley thread.

Serves to show that the list of priorities differs from player to player.

He's a solid citizen ole Nate Fyfe. Freo are lucky to have him.

[Adam The God 30,124]

the thing is our existing midfield taking out the west coast game is ranked 4th, in a side with the second worst midfield, hogan will improve the forward line the moment he gets out there, but if we improve our midfield our defence will be under far less pressure and i have no doubt will quickly get close to being the best in the comp, even as soon as next year, if we add, Trengove, Petracca and Sheil it will be a good step forward for our mids, perhaps there is a good young key defender we could land with our second rounder, or maybe we could get another top 10 pick through trading and gain young lever

Ranked 4th in what though? We're 18th in the competition for clearances. Mind you, Geelong are 17th and GWS are 1st, so it doesn't mean the world.

I think I'd prefer two top mids this year, than one mid and a KPP. As you note, Mike, with a better midfield, the defence will be under less pressure. I'm not sure why a number of Demonlanders think we need another KPD. If Frawley is deemed expendable by so many, why do we need another KPD? Anyway, I think we have more pressing needs and I'd be going a KPF the year after, before I'd go KPD again.

Yeah, but he's playing in a finals bound side and is a WA-born lad.

I would say Schwartz was a Champion.

no argument here

But the question was who was the last champion the club had, and neitz was around later than the ox

Is he? Are they?

Would you have said the same thing last week before Fyfe signed?

I don't see how Frawley waiting a little bit longer than Fyfe means one is a solid citizen whilst the other is a turncoat.

If Frawley announces on Monday that he has decided to stay and has signed a contract, then what?

[blue and red in the head 95]

Stick to the draft. Get the 2 beasts of the draft Bradshaw and petracca(if chip goes) as someone said earlier if we start winning it in the midfield more often less pressure on the backs and more ball to hogan

I'd like 2 inside mids, 2 outside runners and a good young ruckman incase Gawn doesn't come on

This post has Machsy written all over it.

The lack of input and overuse of questions gave it away...

Young colyer or however you spell it looks a decent player.

What the matter? Not fond of rhetoric?

Don't like thinking a little beyond the standard HS-driven agenda?

I'm still waiting to see a contribution from you worth reading.

Great article ... Roos will pounce as the need arises

[Adam The God 30,124]

I enjoyed the article, but jeez he's a horrible writer.

I wonder if we could get Jack hanneth back?

Apparently morobito will be on the move at years end, the kid is super talanted

His knees must be a big concern.

Was very impressive today, works really hard and has put on a lot of size, worth a punt but the risk is great with his knee history so you wouldn't want to give up much to get him

[Ted Lasso 19,284]

Our third rounder?

[Pennant St Dee 13,112]

Our third rounder?

Yep if we got him for that. He is out of contract and hasn't played AFL for 3 years, 4 recons not a lot of bargaining Freo can do

[Tatu 416]

I'm not sure I'd pay that much... He's a talent and i wouldn't mind him on our list, he'd be a good get at the right price... but with him not playing for years and his knee problems.... I would only consider trading a fourth or fifth rounder... I suppose it depends on whether theres a bidding war not...

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

Yeah, Dom Tyson sucks.

We shoulda had Kelly.

Your obnoxious posts continue to surprise me.

Tyson was injured for more of last year. O'Rourke has not been injured and when he has gotten to senior level, he has been poor. Please do not comment or tag most posts, thanks.

I wouldn't bother reasoning with that idiot, he clearly has no life and enjoys getting a kick out of being a troll.

Agree, got good skills and pace. He just might be what we are hoping Toumpas can be. Can always do with more pace and skill.

His knees must be a big concern.

It would be a risky trade, but one that could pay big dividends. But at what price?

Our third rounder?

Freo would probably knock that back, but i wouldn't give up anything better.

[whatwhat say what 22,684]

our third rounder will be fairly close to their second rounder, and our second rounder close to their first.

if we luck out and have to use a third round on stretch, then our pick in the late teens / early 20s might get us morabito.

massive risk, but he has the ability.
