You don't need to trade for free agents.

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...

It's not Fyfe. The Riddler replied to a post with Fyfe in it. Pay attention to The Riddler or his traps will [censored] you up. 

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.

don't think anyone was fooled, just a bit of a fun diversion. at least i thought so.

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

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
