I am not all that interested in the others although if we can get Hurley for nothing obviously that would be a massive win.
If I had to to bet I would say we have a good shot at Steele. I think Marchbank will head to Carlton along with Tomlinson.
Hurley - I dont know. Seems like the Dees have a shot because of relationship with Goodwin and Melksham.
Carlton are going for the same gws players as we are I'm more than happy with Steele on his own but what can we offer?
He's not worth our pick and we dont have a second rounder, a bundle deal or something back using our first?
Or next years Second?
I cant see us getting Hurley we'd have to sell the farm and makes the above even more difficult
Who have we got with currency that we can trade out?
I would be disappointed if we went down this path, especially since we've already missed so much time out of Carlisle and Freeman.
Yeah its a HUGE gamble and if we were waiting to see how he went, we wont know any more. He'd have to come cheap, but that's now whats being bandied about
with his price only slightly cheaper.

I'd be looking at the best mid available, if its Mitchell so be it, Brad Crouch may of also been a good fit for us but C7 in Adelaide are saying its a done deal that he's re-signing and will be announced in the next couple of weeks.
We've got the cash to go after a big name but always seem to be looking for a bargain, perhaps the thought is we can develop our own midfield but geez the North game made us look a long way off. Tag Jackie boy and you beat the Saints. I'm still at a loss though why we didn't try to mix our midfield up a bit more, but then that's another story.

You can add my name to the list.
Now I'm hoping we dont spend all our cash on Hurley.
Add Fyfe to our midfield and it changes the dynamics, Jackie boy would benefit along with the rest, throw in an improving Gresham and Acres and look out
can't see fyfe leaving freo unless rumours about his popularity with teammates is true. even then, just can't see it.
but if at all possible, get him. why we're at it get rance, coniglio, and talia!

James Stewart is another who will leave GWS, I cant believe he doesnt get mentioned more as a target? He is 197cm's strong mark could fill the ruck/forward role or key defender. IMO is a better option than Marchbank because of his versatility. If the Saints dont get Hurley, Stewart would be the next on my list for a key tall.
Package Stewart with Jack Steele would be perfect for us.

Now if only we had someone we could send over there for a couple of chats
i see a player maximising his next contract - at freo. never say never, but.
Yeah you're probably right, the mail is were supposed to be seriously looking for a Mid FA next year, and theres a few good ones available.A lot can happen though with Fyfe putting his name out there, he may not be able to resist some of the offers

Bank on it.
He will be at Richmond, or at least that is his preferred option, I believe.
You'd be thinking of Prestia
That sounds right to me.
I'll be very pleased to land Steele. Very pleased indeed.
With Acres Steele Ross amd Steven in the midfield we will be competitive.
We just need Freeman to come good.
