Free Agency

Re: Free Agency

I'd be surprised if no one gave Clint Jones a go. A team nearing their window who needs another mature body who can lock down could do worse for 2 years. Geelong might be a good fit, or even Hawthorn.

Think the game's gone past him. Lacks speed now and his disposal efficiency is down. Probably would be a one year stop gap for a Melbourne, or GWS at best.

Re: Free Agency

Stkilda fans I work with bag him constantly, but he's got a lot out of an ordinary skill set.

Re: Free Agency

Has Firrito ever played up forward? See Bulldogs? Such hair brained thinking is how DESPERATE I have become.

I know (well hope) you're joking, but Firrito re-signed with North during the week anyway.

Re: Free Agency

We've decided not to match Nth's offer to Higgins.

We have received Band 3 compensation*, Rd 2 pick to be taken after our pick for finishing position, currently pick 26.
Carlton did not receive any compensation for Waite.

* Subject to change if we pick up a free agent ourselves.

Additionally, we are able to trade the pick during the trade period but once the pick is traded we are no longer able to claim any free agent.

Re: Free Agency

Thanks DD no surprises there. Given his injury history that sounds about right and is what was expected. I think it will come in very hand for us. It's an enticing number.

Re: Free Agency

Great stuff. What we deserve for him.

Re: Free Agency

Yep a good result for us. Hopefully it means we can take Zaine and maybe a taller defender?

Re: Free Agency

Even though i didn't think band 2 compo was out of the question i'm kind of happy that it is band 3, especially as in real terms band 2 and 3 are not far removed. if we got band 2 it would have been all the easier for the AFL to hand out band 1 compo to Melb for Frawley. I'm quietly optimistic(not confident) they will only get band 2 compo

He is a classy player and I am sorry to see him go.

Re: Free Agency

Definitely a good result.
Under performer for me, and he got a decent contract there

Re: Free Agency

You only have to watch his highlights package to know how talented he is, pity his body continually failed him as he could have been a star for us, that said had he not been a free agent I would have wanted us to put him up for trade anyway to try and get something in return and give him a fresh start elsewhere, as a supporter I no longer trust his body likewise with Tommy Williams.

The 2nd round pick is a terrific result for us and hopefully us used to try and snag someone like Sam Reid.

Re: Free Agency

I reckon North will play him forward and he will kick lots of goals for them if his body holds out.

I agree. If his body holds out they'll reap the benefits. What has he done - elbow, collarbone, foot? The foot is the problem.

Sounds about right. The body takes an extra battering up forward too. Waiting under all those helicopter kicks will take it's toll.
