You do if they are rfa and the incumbent club chooses to.match your offer.

Which there is zero chance Freo will let Fyfe walk

I think it will be someone who can play backup ruck so my thought will be Jackson Trengove..... unsure of how to work that in with the riddle though.

Sounds like my inability to fit Westhoff into the riddle.

Maybe of course the riddle is even too difficult for the riddler?

Yep, your right, he will be a free agent next year.  He just doesn't seem like he's been around long enough to be a free agent...

your not the riddler are you?

There are only 2 free agents worthwhile next year, imo.  NFyfe & Martin?  So can't see it being a free agent then?

All I've learned from these riddles is that the single biggest industry in the world is knife manufacturing.

lol

I'm not sure what the fixation with knives contributes anyway. You can spread butter with a stick or a piece of cardboard, or just leaving it in the sun ... sun ... Suns ... 

Nah, that won't work either.

I loved it. Quite enjoy a brainteaser every now and then. I wouldn't be opposed to a who am I riddle of a past player throughout the off season. Could be a fun regular thread whilst waiting for the season to come around

How many RFAs have had their offers matched? if Freo have a similar year, and choose not to match,  they'll get another top 5 pick as compo in a high quality draft year. Not bad for a guy that's had 2 broken legs.

Danger immediately comes to mind

There is zero chancr Freo wont match any offer for fyfe.

Repeating yourself does not make it so.

Some beg to differ. 

Should he have hamstring issues in 2017 and not play many games, or knee soreness or something else related to his leg breaks his best value to Freo may be in FA compo. IF they finish bottom 4 and get round one compo, that gives them, say, pick 4 & 5 (or maybe pick 1 & 2 if they win the spoon) in a strong draft year, not to mention substantial SC relief. Not a bad result, I'd say. Suddenly your zero chance becomes a reasonable possibility. All hypothetical, of course.

Cool

Beg to differ all u want, i dont care. Freo will not let Fyfe walk.

Plus it dosent change the fact that clubs do occasionly have to trade for free agents when they are restricted.

Compelling case... for the third time.

You said Freo would match a RFA offer on Fyfe. How many RFAs have had offers matched?

There's every chance they'd let him go if they got pick 2 or 3 as compo in a strong draft.

The bigger question is 'would he leave for us?'

Danger for a start is an excellent comparison 

No they wont his value (assuming no further major injuries) is still quite high,  even with injuries you'd imagine freo would still offer him a massive contract - see JOM

And probably not - depends on salary cap and what we'd offer. Eg pick and player but i wouldn't think so. Our cap space will be tight moving forwaed youd imagine with our young talent.... but who knows i dont know what our tpp is like. There is a chance but i wouldn't think so... but hey u never know

Either way my point remains Freo wont let Fyfe walk

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
