    GWS - Will we lose anyone?

    Harbrow is Gold Coast bound and once Ablett makes his mind up the next topic will be who will go to GWS?!

    Off the top Addison(not sure on his contract status) and Tutt (assume only got the standard 2 years) are NSW boys.
    I think Everitt is out of contract end of 2011, of course this depends on what happens this trade period.

    From our perspective who is out of contract at the end of next season that may be of interest to GWS?

    Very hard to project but it might not necessarily have to be anyone with a NSW link.

      It'll be our luck that Dylan has a breakout season and is offered big bucks by Sheedy.

      I can see it now....

      After a great start to 2011, GWS put forward a ripping offer and Dylan agrees to terms early in the year. He then tells every relative and their dog that he's going but will feed the Club rubbish about 'not making a decision' until the end of the season.

      Once the season ends, GWS will announce his signing the day after our last game and Dylan will be quoted saying he defected "to be closer to his family".

      When asked why homesickness has suddenly become an issue now, rather than during the years when he was battling away on the fringe at Willy, he stares blankly into space whilst rubbing two hundred dollar bills together.

      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Don't GWS get two years at trying to poach players?

            He signed for three years earlier this year.

              Yes. It's under the "we can't get anyone who wants to go to that shithole" rule.

                Western Sydney is one the worst parts of Australia. Think of any crap area in Melbourne and make it 40 km by 50 km and you'll get the idea. GWS will have to rely on big dollars to attract anyone decent.

                  2nded. We really don't have a suburb that compares - perhaps Springvale merged with Dallas, add in perpetual gridlock and some extra smog. The players who play there will probably want to live 10-15 km away, which means an hour commute each way.

                      We'll lose someone, lets just hope it's a fringe type. We should sign up one of those Fijian kids now, Sheedy would love one of them on his list. For Sheedy, different equals good.
                      I should leave it alone but you're not right

                        And we will lose someone the following year when they bring in free agency.

                        and someone the year after that ...

                          We will probably lose someone but l am more worried about free agency too.

                            Free agency works both ways, it also gives us the ability to sign players.

                              It won't work that way.

                              Essendon and Collingwood will use the Anzac Day game and 80,000 h&a crowds as a draw.
                              SA & WA clubs will bring home those that left.

                              Anyone with heaps of cash prepared to offer someone a bullshit job as an environmental ambassador will take whoever they bloody well like.


                              May the best (salary cap) cheats win.
