Agree on Giles but wonder what incentive for him given he goes from 3rd choice at Freo to 3rd choice at Richmond?
Rightly or wrongly the club would see him behind Griff and Vickery as back up to Ivvy
Think you are getting Giles mixed up with Griffen from Freo HRT
Giles is at the GWS, was their number 1 ruckman until they got Mumford.
Reckon he could play the role thay had planned for Hampson, you knwo the role the Hampson can't play
But they can pay hard ball! They hold the aces. If he walks, then they free salary cap space up so that is a bonus for them. He doesn't go where he wants to which then is against him walking. If he wants to go to a particular club Sydney can ask for overs like a first rounder and hold out for as long as they like. Not sure what the bidding club or Mitchell can do to change Sydney's mind.
It's not a bonus if he walks and they get nothing for him. They don't hold all the cards mate. They will want to get a decent pick for him and will be happy to see the end of his contract.
Sorry pardon my ignorance, but how can he walk out on Sydney when he is contracted?
Aren't his only options - he gets traded or Sydney de-lists him and they have to pay out his contract? With any payout required to be booked in this years salary cap?
and btw re this:
Tony_M
Thinking about it a bit further, is he worth our first pick? We know what we are getting and that's pretty good. Would definitely help our midfield from day one.
If you had the choose today, would you take him or Lennon?
The tops teams definitely wouldn't mind using their first rounder on him IMO.
I'd take Mitchell over Lennon at this stage simple because Mitchell can play both inside and outside. Lennon right now is an outside player only
