Greater Western Sydney have put an offer on the table for Nathan Foley. He's still yet to re sign with the Tigers.

That could be interesting for us.
-
:LOL
next twit
Nathan Foley is actually contracted until the end of 2012. Anyone know if GWS can still nab him?
-
:wallywink :lol
-
The guy has corrected himself about Foley being contracted...
"@mightytiges All I know is that there is an offer there to be considered. Hoping his contract status means they can't touch him now."

2 nice picks we wont get
Softwick wont let his lovechild go...... :wallywink
-
For there to be an offer for an contracted player it needs to put to the club first.
So any offer would have to be an offer of trade?
Pick in the mini super dooper underage draft? :whistle
-
Hey guys, long time reader.
Obviously I didn't know Axel was contracted, but it makes our situation a little better.
GWS will have to trade for him of course.
What I do know, as I tweeted to mightytiges, is that there has been an offer of some sorts.
RFC are aware of this but want Axel to stay, and he is definitely not on the trade table.
GWS obviously have next year to get him as well, when he comes out of contract.
Regardless, I think he'll stay, he's a good clubman.
Go Tiges.
-
Yeah they can still get uncontracted players at the end of 2012.

Welcome mate.
In all honesty, if it got us a pick in the 17yo mini draft, I would trade him in a heartbeat. That is in effect getting next years Pick #1-5 for Axel.
-
Its a clear decision for mine. Play hard to get the best price. That means a pick in the U17s draft and I would also ask for a Luke Brown via a pre listed trade.
-
It's well documented that GWS want senior players for their mini draft picks, and not draft picks.
Foley + Bock compo pick is probably around the mark to get one of those draft picks.
However, I don't think it's enough to snap up O'Meara. Crouch, perhaps.
Weird situation this one.
-
No way should they give up the compo pick and foley for a pick of a 17 year old.
Flagman is on the money here.

Agree.
-
If they are willing to over pay compensation like they did for Scully.
Foley can go.

Weird situation this one.
GC will offer pick 4 for O'Meara while Port are chasing GWS' pick 3 in a swap for their pick 6 + some fringe Power players. The top sides will probably offer GWS some fringe or bottom 6 player plus even their first pick in mid-20s for O'Meara. Foley + the compo pick which is a top 20 pick next year would top any of those you'd think given as you say Cotch GWS want experience players who can walk into their best 22 next year. Foley alone may gain us something tempting.
-
The Foley rumour is supposively for pick 5 not mini-draft. GWS will take pick 4 for mini-draft then trade pick 5 to us.

That was me!! I got it off PRE though.
-
Richmond should only do it for a top pick in the mini draft not for this national draft.
-
Well Pick 5, 14 and Compo Pick would give us some real trade power if we didn't want to look at the draft. We could on trade Pick 5, or keep it and trade out Pick 14.
All just rumors though anyway, doubt GWS would give Pick 5 for Foley.
-

Pick 5 in this Draft would be very handy, would be much the muchness to pick 4 in the mini draft but at least we will be able to start developing the player straight away.......

agree TfT
A top 5 pick is a top 5 pick, the talent at the pointy end of this draft is just as good as the talent in that mini-draft

thats actually something i have been wondering about.
If we, or any other club for that matter, get a pick in this kiddie raffle, surely we would have them playing with out affiliate club so we can start influencing their development straight away?
-
yep permission can be sought to have them play seconds just not seniors
also think they play TAC

Apparently stronger pointy end than last year.
Also interesting to note another forum has the original rumour from today which apparently came from SEN and it said it was for pick 4. (doesn't state ND or mini-draft) Mini-draft makes more sense seems GWS lose nothing.
-

Agree top 5 pick in U/17 for me please.
-
Assuming at a stretch that this actually happens, what are peoples thoughts about on trading pick 5, combined with a sweetener for Goddard?
-

so you'd knock back drafting one of this year's top 5 kids so you can reach for a kid that may or may not be in next year's top 5 AND can't play seniors for 12 months?
madness
-
I would trade Dookie to Big Footy for nothing in return :pray :rollin :rollin

If it was between Pick 1 in the U/17 draft and Pick 5 in this years draft than yes.
Common sense to be shown, GWS wont give up Pick 1-4.
-
Pretty sure the whole topic of conversation revolved around us getting pick 4 in the mini draft for Foley then on trading it to GWS for pick 5 in the ND ;)
I doubt we have any chance in hell of getting pick 1 in the mini draft ;D
-
If any of this is even remotely true (i find it hard to believe) we should jump at it. top 5 pick for foley? lol
-
This is nuts.
I'll believe it when I see it. Not that I don't want it to happen.

Latest rumor is Foley + pick 14 to GWS for pick 5 :o
Source BF ;)
-
injury has really cut down Foley's career, hope he stays and can get back to his best.
-
sell sell sell sell sell
-
just my opinion here..but i dont care wot clubs offer..i wouldnt trade nathan ...i think hes a gun

The club would have to be pretty eager to get someone they can't see making it to pick 14 to get give up foley just to move up 9 places.

Keeping foley has been a long standing mistake

Your up early today. good to see, the morning is the best part of the day ;)

What if GWS make an offer to foley that he cant refuse?
-

Our clubs had similar philosophies over 30 years - keeping on fan favorites and the like and then people wonder why we havent won a flag in 3 decades :help

Agree Flags, we've cried out for years now that we dont get decent picks when we trade that's because we never offer anything decent in return
Seriously, if we have a serious chance of getting a top 10 pick somehow in this year's draft and Foley is a player that could get that over the line then the club would foolish not to look into it IMHO. Reality is Foley is not one of our "untouchables" TBBH
-
The rumours that fly around at this time of years is 99% rubbish. I would expect that this one can be added to the list.

Spot on, if Foley is going to give us one of picks 5/7/9 or a shot at one of the 17yo's in the mini draft then the trade must be done. Moving a C/B grade player for the potential of an A.
-
Thats right Wee Will Powell.
WTF do te club think they are,wanting good picks and shopping the s ch i t t e r s ?
Our midfield needs to stand up without relying on the apple turnover king and create the new core,one that doesn't have a weak link.Only then will we go forward.
With Foley we can ask for plenty without really losing much.

Foley is so overrated by some Richmond fans it's not funny

Well said, and there are lessons to be learnt from that, hello Jake King.
We also have a habit lately of perservering with players who showed something but were then cut down by injury, a la Coughlan, Nate Brown and Foley.
Time to start recognizing that you have to be a gun to return from long injuries and still be worthwhile, not just an average/slightly above average player.
Another lesson to be learnt there, hello Kel Moore.
-
Axe is one of our best. I'd expect to be very well compensated.
Otherwise F Off.

a whisper from a source = real confirmation :lol
eff me, see you in a week

Richmond: Not sure where the Nathan Foley to GWS rumours have come from. As one of those 'heart-and-soul-of-the-club' type players, it is hard to contemplate him playing anywhere else. Surely his name is part of the smoke and mirrors that make up trade week.

Can I just ask hypothetically speaking, if this was true?? why are players unhappy with clubs ( excluding Scully) What would make them want to leave to go elsewhere besides say: money, or being homesick?
-
Club culture. lack of opportunity. Wanting a fresh start. Disagreements with other members of the club. Lack of hamburger eating opportunities (Relton)
-
I've only heard good things about Foley at Punt Road. Never ever heard that he was not happy. I think it's rubbish.

This thread has as much credibility as Goddard going to Carlscum.

Believe what you will but the Saints have major salary cap issues that Dawson, Ray and Gilbert won't fix by being off loaded

Pleased to hear he's not leaving.
