If the deal was offered tomorrow picks 3&4 for a Jeremy Cameron or Patrick Dangerfield I reckon we would take it without too much hesitation

All good

I wasn't aware of that, it was never going to happen that way, GWS have the cap space to just offer frawley the 7 years at 800k if they want him bad enough to hand over Cameron if Anderson seriously suggested that then it's clearly not true.

the free agency compo comes after the free agency period, so out compensation would not be finalised until it's too late to pick up another player.

I am interested to see if free agency brings about the sign n trade ala NBA

Nev will be elevated with a pick, I personally would also elevate Georgiou to the senior list, so that's two later picks

i' I think the thing people underestimate as well is that he has played under two different premiership coaches and in multiple flags and is a premiership captain, he would know quite a lot about coaching already from those experiences, so I don't see it as starting from no idea, he is starting from a very good foundation of quality experience and footy knowledge, he would understand the importance of communication and culture Roosy will just teach him a bit more about people management and in box coaching, but i'm sure he would have a good and experienced assistant coaching team around him as well to almost blanket any concerns about inexperience.

Would roosy staying on in some capacity cover the lack of experience? If ling gets the job surely roosy has to stay for the third year?

Lloyd Perris I rated highly before the draft last year, apparently Roosy was keen to draft him but because of the academy rules the swans got a free hit and we were told to f off, I wouldn't mind him and Tommy Mitchell coming down

Imagine the uproar if the Swans landed Frawley

Who would actually offer that? GWS

The purple warrior just said apparently frawley is looking for a 7 year deal

I agree the suns are the team I'd go to, even the doggies look in a good spot

Confirmed, ling has met with the club

Who if Geelong, hawthorn or Fremantle would be the most attractive option?

Go ahead Jmac prove he has a different opinion on Jack watts behind closed doors and I will admit I am wrong? You claimed you can say that with 100% certainty. I simply stated he could have worded his comments differently on Cameron because he would know exactly who we are chasing

he may well stay, who knows which player the rumours are about, if they are true at all, I really rate Devon Smith, i wonder if we could land him

Yeah I agree, I think that was a huge issue last year, I reckon people now see Mfc as having a pretty good young list and some good direction, the fact we have a great coach and get to play on the MCG every other week are small bonuses, I think with Jeremy Cameron in particular is that the Giants are in a fairly similar position in terms of development, we probably have a few more senior players, I reckon we could well follow the dogs path and improve significantly next year, especially if we add Cameron and a couple of decent mids, and the natural progression of our players, as well as Hogan, Trengove and Cross coming back into the mix

One measure i'd like to see come in to replace the priority pick system is if a side finishes bottom 4 two consecutive years they are awarded 2 mini draft selections that allow the clubs to trade for one of the best 17 year olds in the country, if the picks aren't traded the side can sign 1 17 year old themselves and develop them ala Hogan I think this system will help prevent sides hanging on the bottom for too long and give them access to more top end talent, imagine last year us being able to sign a player like Brayshaw and develop him all year.

I wouldn't rule it out, they may want something on top of that, 3, 4 and Blease for those too? the thing is they're trying to widen the age gap of their list, and I think they have accepted that the nature of the path they are taking will see them lose players due to homesickness and so on Losing Cameron would be very difficult for them, but it's handy they have Boyd, Tommlinson and Patton waiting in the wings

They are going to be really fired up to get back on the winners list in a big way, even to steady the ship because of their indifferent recent form, and to get a win for Dom

I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Jones is one of the first picked each week, he works his guts out and seems to play his role every single week, he provides a good bit of speed and run and can tackle, if he improves his disposal he would become a very complete player in my eyes

The difference from my point of view is Chip is a free agent, all 18 clubs know he is fair game, there is a chance some clubs don't think they can realistically get Cameron, because of not having the trade assets, or the money to attract him or whatever the reason may be, a dream off season would be to land Cameron and a couple of good midfielders Cameron, Shiel and Mitchell would be a great outcome for the club

I agree 100% with you, I think money, Roosy and playing on the G are the three big draw cards we have, it was just a strange way to deflect the question in my opinion, I would have expected something along the lines of " we're talking to a whole lot of players and considering a whole lot of options, if it's indicated the Jeremy may be gettable then i'm sure we will sit down and have a coffee and see where he is at " to say he has absolutely no idea kind of seemed like he was a little bit caught out, I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have a list on his desk of every player we are chatting too and how likely they are to come to the MFC

I agree, I have never seen Ling as the sort of bloke to compromise on standards, he knows what sustained success looks like, what it takes to achieve it and I don't think he would take a backwards step on instilling that into a group
