If cj and/or faz end up at freo I will be seriously suss on lyon. I'm already very suss that our 2 perth players are yet to re-sign.
Lyon may have planned this for months.

As for master bate. Hell yeah I'd take him. Good player and the saints don't have any rangas. So yes.
CJ is a WA lad. So if he wants to go home, fair play to him. He's done well for us, but I can't imagine him getting much game time under a new coach, as Lyin as just about the only one around these days who goes for 'role' players.
Doubt we would get anything for him as all he would have to do is nominate for the PSD - I'm assuming that he is out of contract. No-one else will pick him up.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

I know that he has only played a few games, but he doesn't seem to have the agility, speed, or "football smarts" that you would expect to see of a guy trying to break in. He looks an average tryer (at AFL level) to me.

Sorry Doc, it's a sleepy Sunday and I am sucking on a Miller Chill beer - only in neutral with the brain !
On CJ, no doubt he is a good stopper, but not such a key player that we cannot afford to trade him. Our kicking skills need a big lift across the entire team, so I won't lose to much sleep if he goes.
Ross brought Dempster and Schneiider form Sydney, so no doubt he will try to grab a couple of ours.

Ross spoke about Crowley in his Freo interview, reckons he wants to get him back to his best footy. Perhaps Harvey had plans to delist him, but it appears Ross sees a 'role' for him.

You will learn to call him "Master".

Old Mate wrote:Another trade rumour is Matthew Bate from the Demons wants out. Would we look at him? Extremely good mark for his size and may fill the medium tall possie that we need. I've always like him and thought he hasn't been given enough opportunity at Melb.
Love the way Bate started at Melbourne and has been left out a bit the last couple of seasons. Get him there is something Lenny like about his attack on the ball, if he could get consistent he would be a gem.

bulls*** he would be able to get a game as a tagger at any club.
While we arr on trades whats the thoughts on Young and Ellis from the Hawks? Both still young, good skills and i wouldnt call them hacks. Theyre out of favour at the hawks and will likely be offered up for trade....Pelchin prolly recruited them.
