New Recruits tally

[dragit]

Is this a realistic trade thread or just every player mentioned on a footy forum?

I find the mentioning of "realistic" and "fan forum" in the same sentence quite ironic.

I was alluding that they are different things.

Some trade rumours come from genuine club talks, but most are just fans starting a thread on every single delisted & uncontracted player. Matt Thomas is surely the latter?

Tim Riggins.

And thats the reason why I may start to introduce some rules and maybe another new header of culled.

Really the list will be incredibly huge if every single mention of a player gets added.

Info on Kelly and Riggins please. Draftees??? What are the expectations on where in the draft etc?

Thanks

[Old Mate]

He hasn't been linked to us however it has been reported he wants out of Brisbane - Elliot Yeo. He has all the attributes to be an absolute jet. 189 cms and extremely quick and agile. He can play just about anywhere on the ground but I suspect he ends up in the midfield. He reminds me of Scott Pendlebury. Being an East Freo lad if he is traded it'll likely be to a WA team. I'd hope we put our hat in the ring though. I'd happily give up pick 21 for him.

So West Coast, Fremantle or St Kilda then

I like Yeo if he's available. I think we should probably avoid taking any more WA players from now on though- they all seem to need to go home to mum after a few seasons.

Ledger, Mitchie, Yeo in a three way trade and swap of draft picks

[BelfastSaint]

What about the Mitch Thorp to Saints rumour ..... another poster mentioned the Pelchen connection ..
Is he worth consideration ?

It's a great exercise this thread in seeing how accurate these rumours are....most probably about 1-2 at the most will be right.

I think we should have two new sticky threads.
One called 'Rumours'....all the people who say "I have on good authority...",etc,etc...post them there so they stay there forever and we get too see the outcome.

Second,'Predictions'..... We all make predictions,lets see how good we are with it. Also some of the hindsight hero's on here get there opportunity in real time...

[borderbarry]

How ab.out a third sticky titled "Wish List"

[joffaboy]

Update @ Thursday 19th Sept Afternoon

Nothing of note.

A puff piece by Jon Ralph speculating on Leigh Montagna so he gets added to possible trades

New coach category has gone and Scott Watters removed from possible losses as Mark Fine loses all credibility by carrying on with no substance.

Thorp would be worth a look. 194 running key forwards are a rarity especially when they are ready made.

No he wouldnt be worth a look. Are we trying to improve our side or bring in as many ordinary players as possible. The only one that seems could be good based on a few things is Bruce. The rest are eithers very ordinary, to old or cost to much.

Due diligence is all about having a look - yes they should look at him - and they should have a good look at a whole heap of guys

[dragit]

I'd rather Thorp on the list than Milera, TDL, Maister or CJ.

because you are the only person who should judge it not a professional recruiter from our club. Wow okay.
