There is a reasonable list of musicians there but as a sports person I think you are safe

Put it this way if you're able to get on the field sober (although not a necessity) and can move in all directions then you are a big chance to be involved in a very successful team. The more the merrier

Yes he is worth a rookie pick make him earn his spot. But he definitely has the tools to play AFL level.

Haha indeed right foot wheatley left foot benny graham haha I can actually kick left footed also but my preferred is my right

Although I am right footed lol

Haha thanks mate I do miss it footy season just drags when you can't play. Your dancing feet through the guts and around defenders was davey like.

If my third bout of surgery on my ankle is successful then I will return however at this stage I can barely run more than 50 metres let alone play but to all new guys get down there it is a fantastic day had by all. Also dazzle may come back and kick a few more snags. Very good to watch

Actually I think you will find Shiel is quite quick. He also has a lovely kick on him

Dylan Shiel is a class player could not go wrong with him.

Not sure about Freeman I know that we have been following Josh Kelly for 2 years keeping an eye on his development and I would be shocked if we still had pick 2 and didn't pick him.

Fitzy arguably has more upside than LRT also. He seems to have a few more tools than LRT and his potential is only starting to be realised

I don't think Shiel ever said no to us I believe GWS came out and said he was a required player and would not be trading him

I think they wait because if a club loses a player it gets a pick but then if it goes and picks up another free agent then the compo changes/is removed.

Speculation however I think we will be ahead of a few other clubs if we make a move for him soon. Carlton are tied up with savage and a few others collingwood with karnezis and jesse white and hawthorn with longer. If we really do want him then we need to act soon. Not saying he'll have the afl after him but being proactive is the best way to combat other clubs interest.

That is so true. The AFL have completely ballsed up this free agency period. Clubs will not be looking to make moves until after compensation picks are announced.

As I said I don't disagree with you at all. My original post was just to ask people who literally only come on here to comment hack or spud to add something worthwhile to the thread, Unfortunately when the MFC declares pick 2 on the table and after a week of no info then people are always going to make something up and try to create a rumour.

That is fair but isn't trade week on here mostly BS if we cut out supposed sources and rumours this page would be 5 comments long. As you stated there is newspapers twitter facebook and more for rumours so why would this be any different? No matter what people try this time of year will always encourage rumours and BS in fact im tipping 1 in every 500 posts on here from supposed sources turns out to be true. That's just the way it is here. I don't disagree with you at all just stating that no matter what this time of the year is always full of BS no matter where you go to look

Also I don't believe I said anything about Essendrug or ASADA just players that we think are available and we could get. Basically instead of calling everyone a hack how about telling us who you think is available and we could get.

Ummm didn't you just contradict yourself ? This thread is for posting actual rumours ???? How is that different from asking people who they think is available. In fact I'm fairly certain that's how most rumours start on here ?

Also let us be honest about the position this club is in ... There is not much chance of us luring an out and out star to this football club. No matter if we have pick 2 or not. If you were an AFL footballer would you want to come to a club like us?? Regardless of Paul Roos joining us, the club is a very very hard sell and will take a hell of a lot to get back to regularly competing with the bigger clubs.

While I appreciate everyone's right to an opinion, It seems that a few people on here just throw up quotes to shoot down potential players ... quotes like another hack, spud, useless and others. As I said everyone can have an opinion but how about throwing some names in yourselves that you think would be available and able to slot into our team (which shouldn't be hard because we are pretty poor)

I used to play with Thorpy in tassie before he was first drafted. Yes his attitude was shocking but by all reports he has turned his life around settled down with a fiance aswell. FWIW he has always had a good tank and can run all day. He could be used as a mid/hff option as he has good hands is a good kick and as mentioned earlier has a good tank for a big man. Worth a look

Not much point when the word [censored] accurately describes him the best without using language that will get you banned

I am worried about our pick 2. It annoys me that we happened to get it in one of the more shallow drafts of recent times. I know we have spoken to a few clubs but are any of them realistically willing to part with a top line player for a pick 2 in a weakened draft. Adelaide honestly is the only club that needs pick 2. The rest may want it or think about it but they don't need it.

Couldn't care less about this guy and what he does. As long as he never sets foot near our footy club again. There is a reason Fremantle and now Melbourne booted him.
