junk 342 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Harmes and King have been on the rookie list for the last 2 yrs,perhaps the club needs to take a chance on one of them. An upgrad is possilble due to long term injuries to Petracca and Trengove. Vander got an update to from rookie list to seniors. Nothing ventured is nothing gained. I hate to see long term rookies ( > 2yrs), train and develop them. Quote
Damo 3,466 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey. Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims. I thought he was gone. Quote
Dockett 32 1,239 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 There goes one of my hopes. Maybe we can shake something loose out of the Swans , GWS or Suns. Pick 4 or 5 should be a handy start . Quote
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Will be interesting to see whether the new F/S and academy rules shake out similar quality players from the Swans, GWS or Bris, or will it be smoke and mirrors by the AFL giving an appearance that they are not providing another leg up to the rugby stronghold states.

Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett. Quote
Adzman 2,154 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett. He shouldn't cost too much. Currently tipped to go late in the draft as it is, and it would be odd for anyone to bid overs for him. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 He shouldn't cost too much. Currently tipped to go late in the draft as it is, and it would be odd for anyone to bid overs for him. His father became a great player for us, but it was after he was 21 he started showing ability. His son may be in the same mould. 1 Quote
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Rumour flying around at work that a victorian team that isn't richmond or geelong has offered danger a buddy like deal. 2 Quote

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 No idea dazzle, i think its irresponsible to give up that sort of money/years for a mid who i don't consider to be gary ablett or nat fyfe level 1 Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Gotta pay someone. We could extend Dawes contract 2 Quote
Akum 2,660 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 They were talking about Collingwood on SEN. The plan being, Swan out, Dangermouse in, on maybe twice as much as Pendles. Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it. When is it time to get in Swan's ear? Quote
Akum 2,660 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 He left the crows did he? It's this difference between "resigns" and "re-signs". Where's the hyphen, people??!! In Sloane's case, unfortunately the latter. Quote
Bombay Airconditioning 6,508 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Hawthorn or Collingwood im guessing.both Quote
Adzman 2,154 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Collingwood have the cap room for Dangerfield, their list management had been clever the past few seasons and I'm sure if Swanny is done the pies could strike a deal with 800k+ per season. Hawthorn simply cannot have the cap room for a top tier free agent. Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Apparently Aaron Black is disgruntled at the Roos and may request a trade back to Freo - if he was looking for more game time is he worth a look as a 3rd forward type for us? Maybe we try and convince him to come over with the promise of more game time... or is he just another guy like Dawes who shows a bit in the shop window without there being much behind it? Quote

Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it. When is it time to get in Swan's ear? That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is). You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon. Quote
rjay 25,424 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is). You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon. We thought the same at Sydney with Buddy but it hasn't really happened. The Pies have lost Beams and have Swan in his later years so may make some sense to have a go at Danger. I think Pendles would have to be up on similar money though. Quote
Bluey's Dad 3,419 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I think it was a little different with Buddy. Bringing in the best key forward in the competition on huge money is a little different than brining in a star midfielder, especially when you already have one in Pendles. Sure, Sydney had Tippett, but we all know Buddy is better. Quote
Nasher 33,686 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Does bringing in great players on great money ever really cause instability? I've heard supporters use that line often, but I can't recall any evidence of that happening in my lifetime. I would have thought in the professional era, most players would look past the envy of the big income earners and would be quite happy to have a superstar added to their side to enhance their flag chances. 3 Quote

I suppose when you start winning it mitigates the envy issue somewhat. Quote
