Bowden to Freo

[break the cycle]

G'Day Tiger Fans,

I have enjoyed the insights on this site for some time, and was expecting to have seen a thread regarding Bowden to Freo when I logged in today. This is the suggestion of an article in The Australian today (maybe you guys do not have access to this paper).

The article suggests that Freo were in Melbourne over the weekend looking for experienced midfields, and Bowden is specifically mentioned.

What do you think?

Schammer for Bowden - I would like to see that.

unlikely that Richmond would trade Bowden for pick 13 of the 2002 draft. Although Schammer had a steady 2002, he didnt set the world on fire. Perhaps Schammer and Freo's first round pick

I think Schammer is everything we are after - young, inside midfielder, good skills.

I say get the boy.

Bowden is destined for the Bulldogs. We will get looking at getting their 4th overall draft pick

No way in the world will ANY club give up their first round draft pick for someone like Bowden ! If Bowden did go to the Bulldogs it would be along with another player or draft pick to secure Brown. But that won't happen. Brown will go to Collingwood or Carlton.

Bowden more likely a swap with Freo for Schammer. I'd go for that big time.

This was Schammer's first year of AFL footy and he cracked it for a number of games in a side that did pretty well. He had a standout junior career. I saw him play a few times for SA and he was brilliant. He has the potential to be the next Shane Crawford.

Bowden for Schammer NOW !

Although I still believe Bowden will end up at the Bulldogs or Carlton.

If a deal with the Dockers could be reached I'd say ...

Hadrill and Schammer for Bowden would be a good deal for the Tigers

Bowden for Schammer NOW !

I agree Schammer is an outstanding prospect.

What he showed as a first year player, indicates that he will be a very good player.

Joel Bowden's brother Rhett, use to play for East Fremantle, and I believe is a school teacher. I'm not sure whether he still lives in w.a, but if he does, Joel might not mind, if a trade was done.

no chance of getting schammer.under the afl rules no "new draftee" from interstate can be traded or delisted after one year.
pity i like the kid.

If this rumour is true then I wouldn't be surprised if we are interested in Trent Croad, who wants to come back to Victoria. Could be a frightening thought...

 

[Ox]

I thought of croad too. Only problem is he's a lazy s.o.b
and reminds me of Bowdown as far as his contribution and consistency - Pass.

I'm not sure that's right J2R. I know you can't delist a them but Port Adelaide traded Barry Brooks to St. Kilda after only one season. Unless the rule changed this year.

It would be a great deal for us. I too rate Schammer but any deal where we get rid of the yellow backed skulker Bowden is a great deal IMO.

 

[Redford]

I too do not like Bow-down ! He is a pox on our once great club I say !

Transfer his feebleness with haste !

And that dinosaur, Benjamin Holland ! He can go with him !

Not sure about interstate draftee's having to sign a 2 year contract, although it does ring a bell.

Any how schammer is not available as per the rules if you are not 18 by Dec31st of the year you are drafted you must be signed to a 2 yera deal.
