There is some talk about that we are extremely keen to talk to Robert Harvey about an Off field role next season. The club is keen to talk to Harvey as soon as his season is complete, but he is already beleived to be wanting a coaching role with a youthful club in some capacity.. It would be interesting to see if we can land him, as IMO he'd be a great asset in assisting our midfield.. Gary O'donnell and David Schwarz have also apparently been approached..

HA! I was actually expecting a better crack than that.. I make it up, yes u got me.. Thats why a week before the Australian publishes it, I say were talking to Alwyn Davey.. I dont make it up, im just lucky enough to have a job where I hear alot of rumours and such.. If I reported everything I heard, it would be ridiculous, obviously you have no idea how many trades get talked about, none at all.. And yes, having his brother is a trump, especially "pre-flop".. You really need to get out more..

Very true.. Williams looks like a great prospect!!

Listen Rhino.. Im really over your damn ridicule of everyones comments.. Instead of mocking everyone else, how bout u actually go out on a limb, and make a decent point of your own.. I know because I know, thats how.. OK And we hold the Ace, im reffering to Having Matty Warnock.. which in terms of poker, means we have slightly better chance of winning the pot, but u never know.. But yes, we also can offer him no.1 Ruckman status right now, which is apparently high on his list of considerations.. Hows that Rhino, ok??? or do i need to PM u my posts 1st??

No, there is NO possibility mate.. Its 3 clubs only, Warnock is leaving 4 game time, simple.. If we get him, I wonder what'll happen 2 Jamar.. maybe traded the talk atm.. Meeson, Johnson, Warnock and Possibily a young Ruck in draft..

I beleive so.. yes he is.. Ive heard alot more about this today, were extremely close apparently.. Davey and Warnock bros would be an awesome start to 09.. The latest is that we may offer pick 19.. Id love to swap him 4 Bartram, Bell, with a later pick.. even Bruce on his own would be ok with me.. Essendon rate him VERY highly..

Some ppl just cant seem to understand y no one will offer a trade 4 a player they can now get 4 free!! WE WOOOONT TRADE HIM< HE IS OFF OUR LIST!! Its hard enuf to trade any player let alone a 31yr old Ruckman who's been told he is no longer req'd..

Yes, Watts is a DEMON regardless.. im pumped about it!!

Yes, OX has thought this for a while.. I have a great feeling... a really great 1.. Blues wont land Warnock AND Kerr, and Kerr is their top target, so IMO its us and tigers.. We hold the Ace though..

No one is front runners.. Ive learnt over the years, with these things, you just never know, but I know we'll be the most keen, and do have an ace up our sleeve like NOrth did with the Rawlings chase.. I have a really strong feeling on this, but we'll just have to wait and see... We WILL have 2 give up something though, Chris JOhnson has been mooted around add a pick to that i imagine.. I'd say we'll have to give at least a top 20 pick.. forget the Draft, it will be done via trade..

Oh dear lord, What an absolute joke, seriously.. To gain 11 spots, with no guarantee of a positive outcome we give 2 players who are both worth top 20 potentially.. please..

Well said mate!

I cant see it happening, but good on u for putting an idea out there mate, dont let them shoot u down.. Boyle is a far more viable option, and is one 2 look at, As ive mentioned a dozen times..

Well said, I have a good feeling.. A graet thing he's down here!!

I know there will, The Morton knockers look rea l great judges now dont they

i agree.. JOnes a real concern, just runs up & down on the spot! Id take a top 20 pick, or a key forward.. Moloney will stay, Valenti no certanty..

Green rumored to be on the move.. Top 35 4 Bell is pushing it IMO!! Bode, Weetra, Carroll ALL GONE, thats the word today in a few places.. Bell, Frawley, Bartram, Green reported to be immediate trade bait, In Greens case, its his decison, unless we offer a higher $$ amount soon..

I understand ur concerns.. But all these will be, and have been taken into consideration, Watts has a HUGE up side, and will take a few years, but boy, the benefits are huge! Watts WILL be a demon, so relax, and enjoy the development! all the wraps are good, so im sure He'll be a vital part of our future, just as long as we give him time, no early knockers PLEASE!!

Its the players not following the gameplan, hence DB's anger after the match.. Our gameplan is to counter attack, and move the ball on freely at any opportunity, but the players are often falling back on old habits, it will come, especially with a MASSIVE pre season ahead! In Bailey, I trust..

I agree, its been getting more and more obvious to me, he really has too many limitations at this level..

Exactly, thus the rumour does make a little sense, but who knows..

Well, the point is, by Helping out freo, obviously we will gain a player.. The rumour is if we trade pick 1 for pick 3, there will be something in it for us, thus 2 theories hasve emerged.. We get pick 3, Warnock, Freo Gets Pick 1 & 19.. The second is.. We get: Pick 3, 21, Murphy, Dockers get: Pick 1, 17 & 51 (ish).. Dunno bout it, but thats the 2 theories I have heard, they are being floated around alot atm!! Trade wek should be very interesting for us, more so than in recent years.. 1 thing seems certain, Watts a demon, thankyou VERY much!!

Said it b4, and i'll say it again, i'd kill for Chapman, cant see him leaving, but if he becomes even slightly available, wwe should go very hard! so under rated! Id trade Bruce 4 him in a snap! add a pick also!

Not a bad site.. Watts still most likely, but Nate definately no.2 choice, if we land Warnock, Its wWatts, if not, things become far more intersting!

The Rivers one is a pipe dream, No one would offer a top 20 pick right now, not with his body being so un-reliable. Thjus its better to keep him, and reap the potential benefits, as if fit, worth to much to trade.. I always like the sound of Bell for Jericho.. Also Green for Boyle and a pick (25-35).. Prissmal also would be graet, dunno what we could offer cats, id say they would only take picks, so pick 19 perhaps.
