Who does everyone think is bound to go to GWS? I think Mark Blake (ruckman) Tom Hawkins (Forward, ruck) Taylor Walker (Forward) Brent Prismall (Midfielder) Brock McLean (Midfielder) I saw McLean and Prismall in the latest news and thought "well, yeah they could be good fits," Tommy Bellchambers too if it looks like Ryder/Hille combination at the end of the season.
Kevin Sheedy has declared he wants Buddy Franklin, but Buddy won't go I don't think, Callan Ward is apparently bound to go, but which GUNS to you think will move, e.g last years Ablett, Rischitellie, Brennan/s?
I'd be thinking the guns from lesser teams are more likely to go, eg brennan and rischitelli last year. I could easily see Wells being snaffled by GWS
Scully, Ward, Walker all signed i reckon. Others i reckon: Brian Lake - Need a experienced defender Sam Gilbert - On the outer with Saints players still Brock McLean - Melbourne would be laughing at Carlton right now. Mitch Clark & Luenburger both out contract at Lions and salary cap issues will see one have to be shipped out. Clark wanted out last year aswell' Rhys Stanley - Out of contract at Saints. Ross isnt giving him games when we clearly need a tall forward.
I think Saints will want to keep Rhys Stanley, This is likely to be Grdiner's last season, and we'll need Stanley then I reckon, because what has happened to the Hawks this year could happent o us next year, All of a sudden Kosi and McEvoy would go down and Blake could get injured too suddenly we have no ruck without Stanley, we need him, hope he stays
Scully and Walker. Maybe Cornes as a smokie? Out of favour at Port, no contract on the table and he still wants to play. GWS will need big bodies so they may give him a 1 year contract.
haha yep McEvoy is gone, only one thing wrong with that, he is signed at the Saints for another year or two.
I can see Brock going there, also Josh Hill. Lake's certainly gone from the Doggies, could be going to GWS. Taylor Walker is rumoured to be going to GWS as well. Other potential targets would be Brent Prismall and Mitch Clarke.

Even in the following year as well.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/clamp-on-third-party-deals-spells-doom-for-demons/story-e6frf9jf-1226094204738 looks like chiefs will do anythin they can to make sure GWS gets scully... poor old melb hope they get something decent in return
Compensation, right? Well that pick has gotta be right up there doesn't it? I think it is based on what they have achieved so far? That's pretty hard to work out because it's only his 2nd season, #1 draft pick, a 39 possie game......surely they've gotta recieve a first round draft pick at least?
I think Cornes will go, as we have seen this year on the GC they will need a few big bodies, he has always been professional and mark williams always played him so they know exactly what they will be getting.
I remember seeing Bellchambers signing a two-year deal already with the bombers, meaning he won't go. Prismall is a possibility, but I think if Bombers finish top 8, he'd rather stay put than try his luck elsewhere
they can have blake from us 1st rnd pick means shite u never know who u gunna get and we can all c scully is gunna be a gun. if this thing was fair they would recieve no1 pick
Was told on the weekend by a mate who knows a fair few of the Freo boys pretty well that Palmer has been going around telling his close mates(including the bloke i was speaking to) that he is going to GWS next year
@NumberWonGuns Why haven't we heard nothing about this on the news, he's probably trying to keep it quiet.
Thats what i believe Sainter. He won't tell anyone until the season has been played out. Would like it under wraps until his management can sort out some sort of deal and finalise some details
Tom Scully, Callan Ward & Rhys Palmer, wow, if they all sign, then they will have a very strong midfield in about 3 years time, because Scully, Ward, Palmer will all be around 24-26 years old, and there top rookies will be around what those players are now. They'll be a pretty strong team if they can do the same with other positions.
