2018 Off Season (list changes and trade rumours)

[RaisyDaisy]

Always need more than 6 starting type defenders anyway so Adams should fit in well, and Hodge won't be around much longer anyway

Yeah i meant just for next year. Presume they'll throw mcstay fwd as well.

Not sure whether we need him as Skinner, Cox and Nick Robbo fair back up. Payne as well and I like the look of Coleman if we land him with a late pick. Ballandeen can also play both forward or back. One thing for certain competition for spots will be on for the first time for a number of years. So trade period will be interesting.

Need to remove the Brisbane goggles Ringo

Those back up guys you mentioned are nowhere near as good as Adams, and aren't really anything atm

Any details on how long Gaff has signed for and $$$?

Looking like Lobb might be opting for Freo

West Coast’s offer to Gaff is believed to be a six or seven year contract in the range of $900,000 a season.

Pretty sure there is also a media deal in play with channel 7 like the one Nic Nat got a few years back to make up some of the money he could've got moving back to Vic.

Adams fits the bill nicely in the gap we have because of the go home factor but just wanting to make sure we are not left too short after trading for Neale and Mccarthy as well. We also need to draft McFayden, Coleman and Voss.
Also Adams has not played a full season in his 3 years.

Cox and Nick Robbo are different types of players. Ballenden will be a forward. Payne is poo. Skinner needs to get his body right. For me, it's Adams, Walker, McStay fighting for 1-2 spots.

Really interested to see how Richmond rejig their game style/structure with Lynch coming in. They built such a strong game plan with the 1 key fwd

It took everyone by surprise last year but the signs were there late in the year that teams were working out game plans against it , getting Lynch could make Jroo a factor further up the field but anyway getting Lynch is a massive get for the Tiges  ;)

For all you WC fans Peter Bell saying it looks like a deal between the clubs for Kelly is going to happen.... going to WC haha
