So... Tom has another team interested in him and is willing to take him even with his over priced salary... but we can’t give Billy away for a packet of homer and chips?

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
I heard WC were looking at Billy from about August after Nic Nat did his knee. However he does not want to move interstate. So they went for the second option obviously. Hope we don't lose Billy, or we will have to trade another ruckman in.The_President wrote: ↑Thu 20 Sep 2018 5:38pmSo...

Who cares if Longer doesn't want to mive interstate! Why does that matter.. why cant we just trade him..or is there a no trade clause?
AFL free agency is weighted too much in the players favour..

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Sad day for football when these two ruckman "Hickey and Longer" are being chased by other clubs and may get good contracts. Got height as their asset and nothing else.
Footy players about 6ft around the country who have good skills and cant get a game have to watch on by as those 2 numpties get a game, neither of whom can pick the ball up off the ground without tripping over their own feet.. A f***cking joke. Good riddance, let them go.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Channel 7 news just advised Hickey undertook a medical with West Coast Feebles.
Some time soon.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Anyone accepting the Eagles 2nd round pick for Hickey is crazy.
He’s our No. 1 ruckman, contracted for next year, and a required player. WC can give us their first pick ( around 20) or they can go forth and multiply.
We shouldn’t be giving other clubs any charity. Remover Jamie Cripps??

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Is it a case of the need to get some depth of quality in the midefiled and having to give something up to get something coming our way. And I wonder how much Marshall's good showing in a few games has primed speculation he might turn into a formidable ruckman and offset the loss of Hickey.St Chris wrote: ↑Thu 20 Sep 2018 8:11pm Anyone accepting the Eagles 2nd round pick for Hickey is crazy.

It's not an exact science is it.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Classy. A numpty is a stupid person. So you are saying that Hickey and Longer, who have played over 120 AFL games between them, are not up to AFL standard? So they each earn hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and at least one other club is interested in trading for Hickey (I say Longer as well), and they cannot play footy? Pretty smart to get away with that in my view, and certainly not numpties. What club do you really support?chico2001 wrote: ↑Thu 20 Sep 2018 7:35pm Sad day for football when these two ruckman "Hickey and Longer" are being chased by other clubs and may get good contracts.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Club is looking at a couple of mature state league rucks for draft. They can play.
Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Hey classy, Numpty means ineffectual as well. How about the worst AFL ruckmen going around at the minute. Name one worse expert. Who are we looking at Witts...nope, how about Kreuser...nope I have seen Hickey and Longer play, live at least half a dozen times and every other game on TV that they have played except reserves. One could not get a game last year, the other one could not get a game this year. Longer could not get a game in 2016. More than several times Longer could not get a kick and could not lay a tackle. Hickey was widely derided for some of his efforts this year, so ask some AFL commentators who have played 600 games between them how good some of Hickeys efforts have been. Google that and get back to us expert.takeaway wrote: ↑Thu 20 Sep 2018 8:46pmClassy. A numpty is a stupid person.

Longer took 5 marks this year and check out some of hickey's stats though they are better than Longers.
A clear indicator of how players with low AFL skillsets are way overpaid when these guys get pd hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Dont ask which club I support, ask how much I know about football and I tell you what........ it is a fair bit more than you. You need to watch a lot more games yet to get an idea of who can play footy and who cant.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
I am really amazed that other clubs are chasing these blokes, but then again, if their own club doesnt rate them ...well.....I dont know the answer. Good luck to them but I will be surprised if they improve somewhere else. They will probably look better if they have yeo, gaff dangerfield etc sharking the ball. Hickey will go well with East Perth and Longer will have to be better than Smith and Stanley to get a game.

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
Looks like we'll get to see the Clash of the Titans, when we play WCE next year and we can decide which of the duds is king. My money is on Hickey.
Nee!

Wce desperate as Nicnat is getting older and prone to injury now. They have 2 second round draft picks according to an article I read so that seems fair if we get one

Re: West Coast Chasing Hickey
For a change this actually puts us in the box seat as WCE want something we have. Do they have any players on their list that might fill our requirements?
If Hickey gets back to his 2016 form and we pick up a dud, I’ll do a Terry Wallace.
