Nope. He's out of contract.

Came from a text. Someone on the Other Site posted the rumour as well. At this stage it's just that IMO.
Supposedly he has an ill family member in WA that's the impetus for the move. Much like Hogan.

Spoke to Hamling at the B&F....and not that what he says to a supporter means that much - but I said 'We'd all love for you to stay' - and he said 'I'm trying to'.
Went to a luncheon today and Travis Cloke, Jake Stringer and Liam Picken were amongst the guests.
Fair to say that my opinion hasn't changed on us acquiring Cloke.
Leave. Me. Out.

"I'm trying to". That's a fair bit off my ideal response from him.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
If Hamling decides to part ways what pick will Freo have to give up?
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
After his finals performances - a 2nd round pick I think is the right amount, though it will probably be a 3rd rounder

They don't have second rounders, and I dare say he's now worth more than a pick 40 odd (their third rounder).
Might have to be a player or get into the Ballantyne trade to get something from WCE if Hamling requests a trade.

I think it means I want to stay at the Dogs but we have to work things out. Which is fair enough as he has every right to look elsewhere if our offer is subpar.

Agreed, no issue with what he said. I just hoped his situation, contract, years, dollars would be 'yep I'm staying'.

How about we give them our first rounder as well and take Fyfe off their hands?

Fyffe's name is still getting mentioned. His manager has mentioned he's received numerous offers already. We are holding as much as $2,000,000 banked in the salary cap. Plus with Minson & Stevens gone, and if Boyd retires, we could comfortable fit him our cap and use the cap rise via the EBA to re-sign our pups. So we are actually able to afford him. The trade is the issue. Whether Hamling, pick 18, a second rounder from Stevens & first rounder 2017 is enough. They do need first and second rounders to land Hill & McCarthy etc. and to keep pick 4.
It's fun to think that we won the premiership and have a war chest to buy a guy like Fyffe.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
One thing that is a problem for us in acquiring Fyfe or anyone of that ilk is the minimum 2 first round picks every 4 years requirement that has come in as part of the AFL's future-pick policy. Given that we didn't have a first round pick last year (or in 2014 but that luckily doesn't count), we need to use at least 2 first round picks between now and 2018. If we were to give up pick #18 this year, then we wouldn't be able to trade out our first round draft pick in either of the following two seasons unless we found a way to get one back in beforehand.
Basically, if we offered #18 and first round 2017 in a deal, we would then need to trade in another first round pick next year or in 2018.

ONE MORE FOR CLAY
Midfielder Clay Smith has signed a one year extension to remain at Western Bulldogs.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Well now it's officially Prudden, Stevens, Hrovat, Hamling & Boyd unsigned. Need 3 or 4 of them gone. Likely (Prudden, Stevens &) one or two of Hrovat, Hamling & Boyd.

That's harsh, getting rid of him twice! :D
