Gws exodus

Post: # 1972059Post MC Gusto »

Do we have a look at GWS ? A number of players seemingly up for grabs.. who’s our recruiting / contracts guy that works with Gaggs (ex gws / pies)?? Surely he has some connections with the players?

Do they have any line breaking goal kicking midfielders.

Interesting from Jon Ralph on Fox Footy:

Surely you take one of those GWS mids if you can. Maybe even Haynes for a couple of years.

Kelly would be ideal but $1.2mil is quite the salary.

Yes to a mid but no way on Kelly.

I like Haynes but do we need him?

If Taranto is gettable than go for it!!!

But it would take a first round DP and then some

Would you be looking at Jacob Hopper?

He's gettable also apparently

issue is what they are willing to give up matches what we have inside mids - Taranto, Hopper. Toranto is a gun but looks like he might take Dusty's spot at Richmond.
Haynes on $800k next year no thanks for a HBF
Kelly untouchable as is Whitfield.

Best option is to try and find the next Steele - younger player stuck behind others although that hasn't happened so much lately as they have been poor.

My good friends, may I ask we make trade for great Westside Sydney champion Uncle Toby? We can trade 20 thousand tampons with applicato. I think is fair trade. Mighty Saints then is boot in for premiership cup then.

Pretty sure he wants back to Geelong. Seems like a bit of a dick the way he had the hissy fit when he got drafted to GWS.

No to Hopper

Similar to what we have

We don’t need a bull, we don’t need an accumulator

We need a power mid who can explode from stoppage and is dangerous forward of centre.

Not a fan of giving up first round draft picks for anyone - compromises future

Thank god Shiel chose Essendon!!!

GWS are not travelling all that well and we shouldn't be chasing fringe talent

Taranto is nowhere near “fringe talent”

He is a mid, who can (and has) gone froward and kicked goals

agreed. these guys are not fringe. many of them are A grade talents. for whatever reason GWS are a fringe side - but these guys are guns and should def be on the radar.

interesting all the noise re de go go. not sure why as a club we have to reveal our inner sanctum discussions. seems amateurish? Some may argue the whole 'board want more due diligence' done as purely trying to drive down the price / fein the interest but to me it just looks and feels amateur

ideally nobody should have known we had even a remote interest in him other than the core list management guys
