GWS Giants under pressure as Victorian clubs target host of out-of-contract young guns

GREATER Western Sydney young gun Devon Smith has emerged as the latest target of Victorian raiders.

Smith is one of six superstar 21-year-olds falling out of contract at the Giants at the end of the season.

Jeremy Cameron, Adam Treloar, Stephen Coniglio, Dylan Shiel and Will Hoskin-Elliott are also yet to recommit to the fledgling expansion club.

Player agents indicated they would wait to see how the club performed in the first half of 2015 before entering into serious contract discussions.

“It’s quite a unique set of circumstances up there,” one manager said.

The Giants have tabled a five-year deal for Smith, who finished second in the club’s best and fairest last year, but the classy goal-kicker wants to wait.

Smith has been touted as a future captain of the club.

Cashed-up Richmond will be at the front of the queue for top-end talent, while clubs like Geelong chasing Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield could also strike.

Cameron could demand more than a $1 million-a-season and has rejected Greater Western Sydney overtures to sign a new long-term deal.

Treloar has been linked to Collingwood.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Not sure. I just remember reading articles about us last time around that we were under the squeeze and would struggle to sign anyone after Dusty and Cotchin.

We could pick up WHE and a Shiel or Treloar for the price of Dangerfield. I know what I would prefer. Only problem will be having to deal with GWS as opposed to picking up Danger as a free agent

I hear Dan Richardson is pretty confident he can lure Tom Scully away from GWS.

If we can't manage to do a deal with GWS to swap our entire lists, then it's simply willful incompetence on our part.
