Do you sit on the porch with a shotgun in your lap?

That was a classic movie.

Would anyone be interested in Hartung from the Hawks? Out of contract. Could come cheap. He could be the outside speed we need.

What's with all the suggestions for flat track bully mids?

Combining with a Kent to WA to replace Lecras trade i suspect.

Gaff is contracted until the end of 2018. 

Is he a free agent at the end of 2018? It makes sense to try to trade the year before his contract expires, if his club thinks he might walk.

OK, he's not the ideal, but he does have the right tools, and he may be a lot more gettable. Especially if we're forced to give a bit more to land Lever.

As my daughter might say, he's not Beyonce, but he's a good solid Kelly Rowland!

I'm tired of the club going 4 players that will do would rather go 4 a kid in the draft or go 4 a star

Would take Whitfield over Lever.

 

Exactly the type of player we need

Speed  is only any good if it is combined with good decision making - Hartung hasn't got that.

RFA.

I think he suits a need and I like him more than most obviously. Not that surprising that putside players go missing when the're getting towellwd up on the inside. Better disposer of the ball than most of our onballers.

I rate him as a second ruck/tall forward. He's a good mark ad a good set shot.

We lack serious height i the forward line with most of our players about the 195cm mark.

The Weed will be the one next year

Because Whitfield is contracted

Lever is not

Which essentially means little anyway.

The trade negotiations bear the same weight either way in reality.

Outside mids I would be having a crack at would be:

Whitfield

Gaff

Touk Miller

Jack Matin

Aaron Hall

Sidebottom

Dream Big lads - destination club

Miller and particularly Hall are turnover merchants. 

The rest I agree with though. Jack Martin would be a dream.

I watched this bloke pretty closely the last few games and noticed that he applies no pressure and doesn't like the contest.

His attribute is pace.

Don't think he would be a target.

Honestly, I'd be stoked to get Gaff, could probably get him cheap if the weagles think he'll walk in free agency next year.

25 year old with good skills, good speed, and a midfielder who doesn't hesitate to kick the ball!!!

Could be perfect

Hopper has announced he'll re-sign as well. The pool of available OOC players is shrinking.

Good.  Now go balls out at Whitfield.  Give it everything we've got, and change his mind.

 Wait for free agency.  I've cooled on Gaff, in the last year or more.

Best news possible other than him coming to the Dees.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

One out of left field, I wouldn't mind having a go at getting Nathan Wilson from GWS, he's still contracted beyond this year but he'd be an upgrade on Bernie. 

I read that a couple of clubs were circling but I'm not sure we are one of them.

West Australian.  Being courted by Freo apparently mates with Harley Bennell.
