Don't think Freo would be interested in either CJ or Winmar ... If CJ goes it will be to a team that is struggling as he will help them draw even in midfield battles .. GWS GC Port or even Melb would benefit from a reliable Tagger who can take the comps best mids .... Winmar would more than likely be playing WAFL if he is let go ... Maybe just maybe he would get a rookie spot at freo but I doubt it

Surely your taking the pi55 Fyfe and Barlow are untouchable we would have to give dal and BJ for one of them .. Muzugu is also not going to be moved for less then a first round pick ... As for Zac Clarke I doubt Ross would trade hit to us why would he want to strengthen a team that was only two games behind his this year .. Why would he want to fix our obvious weakness if a trade were to happen he would only allow it if it was heavily in his teams favour ...

It's hard to know with CJ, we are either trying to fix his kicking (if that is possible), in hope he can become a more attacking midfielder rather than a tagger, or he will be traded/delisted.

I'm sure Ross Lyon would be keen to snag CJ at Freo if he was up for trade, what we get in return is unknown..Alex Silvagni?


Sainter for life.

CJ has little currency. We'd likely get a very late pick in return.

Let Luke Ball go away to a team that was only a couple of games behind us :P

I've heard/read somewhere that Broughton wants out, we could do worse than pick up Broughton in a player swap. Zac Clarke and Broughton would be the only two I would consider if it was a Freo player, maybe Griffin for a backup Ruck but why would he want to come over as a backup ruck?!

Fyfe = too expensive and pretty much untouchable unless its a trade for BJ which wouldn't happen with FA.
Barlow = poor disposal, gets it a lot but butchers it
Mzungu = avg disposal, just a GOP

Harsh on Caddy. I've only seen him play 3 or 4 times this year, and he's been outstanding. According to the BF G Coast board, he is predicted to be top 5 in their B & F.
His first season he only played one game I think, with groin surgery and a stress fracture in his foot.

Fine if you don't rate him, but at least check some background first, maybe cut him some slack...
I did acknowledge that he's just starting his career (cutting slack). I've seen him play also, so what if my background checking doesn't include BigFooty. BigFooty is not gospel. He probably will finish in the top 5 B&F but look at the team he's in. He's ok but relative to many other first or second year players, I simply think he's a bit over-hyped.

I thought Brendon goddard was over hyped for the first 3 or 4 years, Adam Cooney took a couple, Half of Geelongs legendary GF barnstormers looked like they might be fairly ordinary early on. There is a danger in calling them early.

In my original thread I stated that his potential is speculative. I never called him anything early other than based on what I've seen and I just think his value is overhyped. In fact I got so sucked in by his hype, that I had him in my fantasy footy teams at round 1 before some prompt trading out :lol: He may well turn out to be a gun? Who's to know?

I don't think we would get their pick. They give up nothing (except money) it's the AFL who gives us a pick.
You obviously missed the part where I said that we can only trade BJ if we match a free agent offer that he receives.

He then can be traded as per previous years.

I don't mind Warnock but not sure he suits our needs. The cheats will be having a fire sale though in order to fit Cloke in so maybe theyre happy to cover 50% of his salary.

This next month will be unbearable with rumors & crap being spread. Another 2 weeks til the Gf, then 3 weeks of free agency & trades.

If a deal could be done I would gladly grab Giles! One of the better GWS BOYS all year.

Carlton would want at least a 3rd round pick for him too I'd imagine.
Agree it is very out there as far as rumours go. Probably just from a SEN listening Blues supporter who isn't a fan and knows we'd love a backup ruckman!

Whoever said it, Hickey is the one to watch, but would take a lot to get a promising Queensland young ruckman away from Gold Coast...
Maybe.....then again, maybe not.... :wink:

I've heard he has been enquired about from two Victorian teams one is rumoured to be St Kilda ...

The reason we got nothing for Ball was because Ross didn't want to strengthen collingwood .. Again I feel Ross was happy for Luke to go to Melbourne for nothing .. It blew up in our face because Luke declared he only wanted to be at Collingwood ... Unfortunatly I can't remember the last player to come out and say they wanted to come to St Kilda only
