With it looking likely that Greenwood will be leaving Arden St, do the Tiges get involved?

Looks like he's off to the Pies.

Yeah just all rumors ATM but if he did become available think he will be hot property think we would probably have to cough up our 1st round to be a chance , don't know if he is worth that much but good mids don't come along everyday

:o

I'm actually fine with this. If he's not going to cost much, which he shouldn't, this could work out nicely.
Wowee, just saw this.
I'd be pretty happy with Licka, he's a gun when fit. If his body can hold up, he'd be a great fit for us.

Would be that classy small forward we have been looking for. Knights could play a similar role when fit, so hopefully we can grab him and at least one of them will be fit :P

This was literally my thought process when reading the article.

Licka looks good in yellow and black, but then again... so does everybody.  ;)

Just pasting these posts from the best 22 thread here as well since their subject matter fits in here.

If we can get Winderlich as a UFA good but reported in todays herald sun Dan Richardson said they would not trade for him they really seem intent on keeping the picks intact this year , as for Garlett prefer we steer clear look at him he is built like a whippet but rarely plays like one lazy in my opinion probably why Malthouse put a line through him well before the end of the season .
Yeah, I agree.

Just on Licka, I reckon we'll end up getting him through free agency, a bit like how the NDS joined the Roos (heard/read something the other day comparing the two).

Found this: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jason-winderlich-will-never-play-for-essendon-again-hoping-to-continue-career-with-richmond/story-fni5f6kv-1227083012172 and this: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jason-winderlich-will-never-play-for-essendon-again-hoping-to-continue-career-with-richmond/story-fni5f6kv-1227083012172

These five lines are the relevant bit

QuoteWinderlich triggered a contract extension with the Bombers this year, and consequently did not appear on the list of unrestricted free agents distributed to clubs recently.

It means Richmond would have to trade for him, or that Essendon could release him from the contract extension and allow him to join the Tigers with more ease.

In that scenario Essendon - currently restricted to picks 20, 50 and 68 in the national draft because of the club's draft penalties - would receive compensation for Winderlich's departure.

A life member and much-loved player at Essendon, Winderlich's contractual situation is similar to that faced by Nick Dal Santo, North Melbourne and St Kilda at the end of last season.

Dal Santo triggered a contract extension to remain at the Saints at the end of the 2013 season, but the club agreed to release him from that contract so that he could join North.

Well done Nige it looks like the Bombers will have to release him to have any chance of getting something for him which is a win win situation for us , keeping all our picks intact and getting him would be nice

Can we get Winderlich with free agency?

Yes, but Essendon have to release him from his contract, from him to become a free agent.

Yep. He should have been a free agent this year but had a clause in his contract to trigger a third year which would be 2015 a bit like Nick Dal Santo at the Saints. 

However, if Essendon release him from his contract like the Saints did with NDS we could sign him as a free agent and the Bombers would probably get a compo pick.
