I must be getting old and jaded. Perhaps it is too many years of reading posts that go along the lines of "let's go out and get (insert name here)".
I'm now at a stage where I simply assume that it will all come to nothing. Inevitably these posts have common threads, i.e. that these players only want to come to Fremantle, or that their current clubs are not going to play hardball and insist on top picks, or that we can give up our B graders to get an A grader.
IT.... NEVER... HAPPENS.
Short of Cam McC's tactic of giving up a year of footy to move over (and even then there is a chance that WCE will nab him), we have got our work cut out for us. To make it worse, our boys at the top have shown that they have difficulty selling a future at our club to prospective trades (especially if they are over 190cm tall).
Good luck getting anything (other than Cam) without feeling a bit of pain.
