Agree with this . Time to harden up FFS

Agree with the sentiment, but Bazza can quite easily nominate for the Pre Season Draft & guess who has first pick?

Do you think they would use a first pick on a 34 yo retired player with an ankle problem who they would get one year out of and give up the chance to get someone with more upside?

Doesn't it come back to what Chef has pointed out that they cannot take another un-contracted player from us without our permission.

This is where "retired" could be the magic word.

I can't see how this matters. Luke Power & Dean Brogan retired from their clubs and when these players get pick up by GWS that will be GWS 1 uncontraced player from that club. Both clubs have stated they will keep these players on the list until the last lodgement date which would force these players into the pre-season draft, so all of a sudden they will pick up Brogan, Cornes, Power & Hall in the pre-season draft? sounds a bit rich to me Ledge.

Something token? If Hall wanted to play on at GWS, I would ask for no less than one of the 17 year olds. Cough up or Hall retires. They took Ward FFS. Are we trying to win a premiership or be everyone's Besty?

I think they would either roll the dice on allowing him to go into the draft and taking their chances there or just not select him at all.
He's a one season player at best and a highly risky one so we won't get a lot of him.

No it doesn't.

Otherwise GWS could take an uncontracted player from every club, and then tell Franklin, Pendlebury, and Selwood to retire and they'll pick them up at picks 1,2, & 3 in the draft. It is not allowed.

Have we kept Barry on our list?
Thinking where he is age, etc we may have already dropped him off.

First lodgement date hasn't gone by yet and with these whispers floating around we would be stupid to not keep on the list till the last lodgement date.

Maybe the whispers started after we dropped him, Sheedy is pretty cunning.
Sheedy would have looked at that surely.
Its all a guess though, only the ones in it know it.

But they can't touch him unless we trade him. The only way GWS can get him is through a trade.

There is no such thing as retired, you are either contracted or uncontracted.

**LostDoggy** · 02-10-2011, 08:02 PM

Re: Barry Hall to GWS

With GWS already taking Ward as an uncontracted player from us, there's only 3 ways Hall can land at GWS
1) We trade him
2) We delist Hall and GWS take him as one of their 10 previously listed players
3) Hall sits out of footy for a year and get drafted for the 2013 seas

I know I am in the minority but I simply don't get it.

I agree...

Must have been all of the talk about how he was a Bulldogs supporter as a child, the fact that he became the FF that we havent had for 20 years

It must have been that he delivered us the 2010 NAB cup! I got the tattoo to celebrate it
