He is uncontracted that's how it works we had the chance to trade him but there was no deal struck ...

It just shows that no other clubs rated him that highly except Freo/Lyon.

Fremantle were not prepared to offer anything as they probably knew that he was going to head there anyway.
I can only hope that greater western sydney pick him up in the preseason draft.

Was he even put up for trade? They were negotiating with him at the time.

What pick would he be worth? Probably worth a mid to late second round. Around pick 30. Would have been nice.

Untrue, Freo were working out a last minute deal but both parties ran out of time. I think they tried to swoop in the final few minutes after Walsh deal was done. Was definitely reported on the day that they made a play, probably with a draft pick we wouldnt use in the draft knowing Lyon... so much for not wanting St Kilda players

I doubt Freo would have offered 16, 20 or 29 so it would have been pick 58 for him. Hardly worth it.

That would be funny, I am a bit over these players holding it over clubs.

:lol: :lol: You're right I didn't. Have seen enough of him at Frankston and Sandy to know that Lourey the footballer is not AFL material.

He would be a handy addition to their team. Good luck to him.

Pick 29 for Zac and our pick 35, 37, or 42 would have been another viable option.

An upgrade? Better than nothing. I guess we were still hopeful that Zac would sign with us on a reduced contract.

I reckon Ross/Freo overrate Zac. I doubt many other clubs would be interested in him TBH and Freo are throwing 300k a year at him. I wouldn't be surprised if Wilkes does just as good, if not better, and I know little about him.

Well you mustnt rate how players go in finals if you say a person you know little about will do just as good if not better job than Zac. My guess is will will miss him as we havent really got anyone to replace him.

You also overrate Zac. I guess Raph Clarke is a very good player because he had a good final series a few years back?

Zac is the laughing stock of opposition supporters and there is a reason you know, he's a very average AFL player.

I dont go around surveying opposition supporters and I care even less with what they say. I have no idea what Clarkes form of a few years back has to do with Zac's over the last 3 years but hey i dont understand a lot that you say. Just tell me when a bag has been kicked on Zac. I cant remember.

So you have know idea who opposition supporters rate and don't rate? You don't need to 'go around surveying opposition supporters' to know. Ignorant answer to avoid the obvious.

And you don't get the reference with Clarke? Geez you're dumb. Let me explain it a little slower for you. You said Dawson had a good finals series therefor you rate him. Clarke had a good finals series but that doesn't mean he's not an average player, like Dawson. Get it?

When was the last time a player kicked a bag against St Kilda? Doesn't happen with our defence. I do know that when Zac is one out he generally gets beat. I remember Setanta towling him up in round 24 this year.
