2018 Trade/Free agency rumours, scuttlebutt & innuendo
one-eyed:
SCOTT LYCETT (West Coast) - Restricted free agent:
Roaring up the charts as an elite ruckman given he and Nic Naitanui are forming a strong combination that hands them both solid game time.
The question is whether he wants to be a first-choice ruckman and whether the Eagles have the cash to withstand bumper offers elsewhere given commitments to Elliott Yeo, Jeremy McGovern and Gaff.
Clubs don’t want to recruit ruckmen any more, they want to poach them, and Lycett is doing everything possible to maximise his options after an injury-ravaged 2017.
No one would forgive him if he jumped ship to a club which can give him big money and the lead role, but right now with West Coast’s form, why would you want to leave?
If he did want to leave, you would think all of Richmond, Carlton and Essendon would be considering their succession plan for ruckmen.

Diocletian:
So a "succession plan" for 23 year-old Nankervis would involve bringing in 25 year-old Lycett?
Hard Roar Tiger:
This might be a contingency if we don't end up with Lynch
Diocletian:
Yes but it's hardly a "succession plan" as the "journalist" is speculating..... also not sure he offers that much up forward....

Agreed, I was thinking moreso he'd be the number 1 Ruck with Nank up forward and relieving in the Ruck....
But, not altogether ground breaking
