List Changes 2009

I would rather have a footballer in my team than an athlete anyday

I think most of us feel that way, but not most AFL (and to a lesser extent SANFL) clubs who are always on the lookout for that "Diamond in the rough".

Yes the policy is more towards selecting them as athletes rather than footballers.

Not sure what you are getting at there,as this does not represent anything I quoted?

Nothing you quoted, Boon.

But a reference to the 80s anti-drug campaign.

Because picking these two again is akin to a smackie having just one more hit.

They're bad for you...

[the joker]

10 news just reported that Nathan Krakouer has asked for a trade. he is contracted for two years though. if he wants out it makes josh carr almost certain to return to the power you gotta reckon

[1Eyed]

I hope Krak doesnt leave he gonna be a ripper if he gets his body right. I would want more than Josh Carr for Krak, maybe a draft pick or a player. Not sure how many South Aussie Freo have, Schammer i guess.
I guess Port will have to deal with Freo.

I reckon you would probably only get J.Carr. Freo talk up Carr but hes not what he was, not worth much and I dont thin Port would get Schammer.

[Psyber]

Judging from the reports of departures from Port, and the fact that the Dockers are planning to review their outfit, song, and colours, could there be a merger?
The Port Dockers playing out of Subi!

[NO-MERCY]

Probably a good thing, atleast they'll get more than 19,000 supporters.

Until they play the roo's and get 14k to a match

[Hazbeen]

I hear Peter Burgoyne wants more than the 1 year deal offerred to him and the club has said take it or leave it.

Would any other club want him at his age in a trade if he decides he wants out? I doubt it, he would have to take his chance in the pre-season draft assuming his is out of contract at the moment.

[1Eyed]

freo would take him!! they take anyone over 30!
I think there would be some interest, i would offer him 2 years if i was Port. Ended the year very well. Wouldnt want to see him go.

2 years would need to be very much performance [and training] loaded with a minimal base salary - to keep him motivated like he was late last year. He can do it, but will he!?

[Thiele]

Peter Burgoyne has singed for one more year so has Treadrea

[Magpiespower]

Krakouer staying put.

Phew...

[mypaddock]

Besides possibly his "leadership" can anybody tell me what value, if any, would Warren Tredrea have in the Power side?? He hasn't played any decent footy for over five yrs now...

[GWW]

He's still by far the leading key forward at the club, and his form last year wasn't actually bad at all. Its absolutely the right decision for him to continue for next year, and probably another year after that aswell.

Agreed GWW, he is still a very valuable member of the team. Had a very good year.

Tredrea is the whipping boy more than anything, everyone likes to bag him and pick up on any little mistake he makes.

[catchisthecry]

Very valuable, very good year??!!??
Wouldn't get a game for any other side in the comp - which means... Port keeping him for wrong reasons

[GWW]

Nah they're keeping him because he's by far the best forward option in the squad.

I guess Port will have to deal with Freo.

Pavlich is the other SA Fremantle player. Not that helps in any way.
