2018 Off Season (list changes and trade rumours)

[jvalles69]

WCE are considering matching Port's offer for Lycett and insist we have the cap space to do it

Deadline is 1pm AEDT tomorrow

Hope this doesn't cost us getting Kelly. Would rather draft a ruck or take Hickey on the cheap plus get Kelly than be struggling to find the coin for Kelly with Slyce

Yes, Lycett wanted out, now sounds like he wants back in after the Gaff signing.  So long mate, you've been good, but not for that money.

Gold Coast Suns have signed Chris Burgess from West Adelaide and Josh Corbett from Werribee as special assistance players. One more yet to announce

[Money Shot]

Setterfield has requested a trade to Carlton.

Can't go a year without Carlton getting a GWS player.

Setterfield will be the best of the batch though.

Pick 1 and 25 for Setterfield, Shiel and 13
Pick 13 and McAdam for McGovern and 20

If we can land Setterfield, Shiel and McGovern with pick 1 then I think it is worth it. Otherwise I would rather Walsh.

Corbett's a really good pick up, especially with Lynch gone. He had a super season for Werribee and thoroughly deserves a shot. I'm a fan, so hopefully he can carve out a career.

Good chance to be the Tim Kelly/Bayley Fritsch kind of success story from this year.

We'll keep 20 thanks but otherwise, good deal :)

Sounds good, we'll add in a future 4th as well I suppose, just cause we're generous

“Freo have cold feet. it's not no, but it's far from yes” on Hogan

From a Melb supporter with ties to the club

Interesting. Was that from one of the trusted few on Demonland BM?

I dunno. Whilst I fear bringin on the reaper when saying this... I kinda think he's gonna stay.

But at the same time, I find it very very hard to believe Freo would go cold on Jesse. He's only everything they've ever wished for.

[Purple 77]

After all, Hogan has the potential to do what Plugger McDonald does.

[RaisyDaisy]

Lobb won't cost as much as Hogan, so maybe Freo are content with Lobb and then not having to give up so much for Hogan?

Kelly's manager saying the Cats should trade him to WCE now

His value is higher now so they'll get more, and he will just walk out for much less next year

Has categorically ruled out Freo, not interested in them at all and only wants to come to WCE

WCE offering him a 5 year deal (Next year from Cats + 4 extra years) and say we can fit him in cap wise

Sounds like we're still a big chance of landing him now

Lovvvvve this. Pull ya fingers out Catters, take Pick 20 for him - you bent us over with Scoot

[SilverLion]

According to Sam McClure, Freo are trying to part ways with Bennell. Interesting, I heard that Neale and Bennell don't get along, if true could definitely understand why they'd be trying to get rid of him. Didn't attend the B&F either.

I think I read somewhere that if we have 20 and 21 (Lycett compo) then that equates to Pick 6 on points, so we do a swap or something with someone and get that pick to Geelong for Kelly or something
