IF - Pavlich was available?

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

He is, but i guess that just raises his price!

Your spot on, but he is only worth what teams are willing to give for him which will fall short of what Fremantle need to get to replace a player of his calibre that means as much to the club as he does.

My man Schulz kicked 7 on the weekend for Coburg - that's what happens when you don't have Richo standing next to you. We could get him for a half-eaten bag of Twisties at the end of this year and he's well under 25.

No thanks, would rather stick Grant in. As for Pavlich, he is special.

As good as Schulz would look in a Willy jumper Sedat he is nothing like what the doggies need.I hate to say this but I would be willing (very reluctently) to offer up Higgins and Hill it would hurt but the upside would be huge

Harvey has ruled out any trade for Pavlich but that means nothing

Harvey dismisses Pavlich trade talk

Fremantle coach Mark Harvey says he's 'bewildered' by media suggestions that Dockers captain Matthew Pavlich should be traded at the end of the season.

Sportal's Ronny Lerner broached the subject last week, saying a player as skilled as Pavlich deserved the opportunity to play in a top class side and possibly earn a Premiership medal.

His opinion was supported by respected football commentator Garry Lyon who wrote in The West Australian that Pavlich 'has been the perfect partner — loyal, honest and dependable' and thus deserved a chance at another club as Fremantle repeatedly lets him down.


But Harvey said the embattled Dockers were giving no consideration to trading the five-time player of the year and returned fire, saying his 'vulnerable' club was being preyed on by the media.

There is one player + draft picks other than Cooney and Griffen that Freo would be guaranteed to look at seriously. The question would be if we would be prepared to give him up, and whether the nett gain would be greater than the nett loss. It is a very difficult question to answer, but there is one other player:

His initials are Tom Williams.

I highly doubt it.

Williams is important to our structure but he's not an "A" grade player. He's more similar to Morris than Lake, in that he basically plays a lockdown role without giving too much rebounding offense ala Lake. I'd suggest Fremantle would be after a legit gun capable of really changing/influencing games - Eg. Cooney, Griffen and Higgins.

Williams is going to be a good, strong player - but Freo wouldn't think twice. They'd say no.

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

If we had Pavlich who would we expect for him.

I would expect a top 10 draft pick and Higgins or two top 15 draft picks and a third rounder. In a very good side, he could be the difference between playing prelims and winning grand finals.

Cats loved Brent Moloney with a real passion, but Ottens helped take them to 2 grannies and a premiership.

Glad i'm not paid to make these kinds of decisions.

Thomas Williamson?

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

Maybe Everitt and Hill.

Would love to have him.

How hard we chased would depend on Grant's year I dare say.

[hujsh]

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

We would have to give up seriously good players to get him.

Carlton had to give a top 5, a top 20 pick and a highly rated tall for Judd and he was out of contract.

We shouldn't have a top 5 pick and Pav isn't out of contract so we'd pay too much.

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

DOn't think it's gonna happen... we'd have to give up too much...

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

Wouldn't it be great if grant could get up and running well enough so we could make a push on the Premiership.

God this talk of Pav really makes ya think doesnt it. Driving me insane. haha

Article in The Age today suggests that Pavlich may think about leaving the Dockers and he may be a perfect fit for either the Cats or Dogs.

If he was available, would you want him and what would you be willing to give up?

Pure media beat up. Pav's going no where.

Re: IF - Pavlich was available?

If I was Mark Harvey I would be absolutely ruthless, I would demand a first round pick which realistically would be around the 14,15,16 mark and either a Cooney, Griffen, Higgins. All would be well suited to Subiaco and would fit into the Fremantle structure. Personally these three are the core of our side for the next 7-10 years and are off limits.
He would be a massive addition but at the age of 28 it would be a tough call to make. If Grant could stand up in the next few years, I think we wouldve found the final piece of the puzzle.
