Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[malpaso]

We are not interested in Baker esp. that he's chosen the Eagles.

I don’t think anyone believes we’re getting Baker in to drive standards. We presumably have a role we want him to play maybe replacing Wagner.

Weird melt tbh

Uh yeah no. We just signed Wagner to play as Wagner.

And we are not getting Baker, doesn't want to be at Freo so why would we want him any longer?

 

[Rockmelon]

Ok, Ok, Ok…

trade 10 + 18 for 3 from WC

3 to Rich for Bolton, or if they wanna keep being campaigners we can trade 3 with Carlton for 12 + 14

Go to the draft with 11,12 + 14 or 11 and Bolton

 

[thistimeforsure]

I implore everyone not to respond to Blaisee, absolute waste of your time and will only serve as encouragement for them,

Super antagonistic posters like that flog don’t get to drop a ‘ I come in peace ‘ and then dribble the same shit that makes you completely avoid the trade thread

**** him off

He would be paid by Richmond, and thats exactly what I expect will happen.

You cannot expect a man to be watching his children grow up over video calls, sending them to bed with story time when it's three hours difference for you for months on end. He will grow very resentful and not of Freo.

The AFL treat mental health the same as an injury meaning it allows players to be excused from appearing and performance requirements. Dayne Beams wasn't able to be fired for this reason and for that same reason I'd expect Bolton to be living with his family in WA in 2025 regardless of who is paying him.

It just means the next time he is asking for a trade he isn't going to be worth much of anything.

Isn't this a repeat of the McCarthy trade. Sitting a year out wasnt good for either team.

Freo are more pragmatic than that. They don't care if we are first choice or not. Surely our pursuit of Kelly showed that

It was not good at all, but the offer was two first round picks for McCarthy before they said no and just a year later he was free.

Professional sport is a business these days. It doesn’t matter if you are the first choice, as long as you are the final one.

And just imagine if we'd given two 1st rounders ...
Thankfully Bolton and McCarthy are in very different headspace positions.

 

[Dockernut]

Does it help us if Bolton formally nominated Freo now?

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

I think it's cooked. We all know if the trade doesn't happen in the first week it never will...

 

[theGav56]

Reid would be fantastic, Tauru sounds like he's going top 10 as the best KPD in it. This highlights we get someone very nice at 11, not as nice at 18

Any of those 3 plus Hannaford or Delotti with our 2nd round.

Was gonna ask the question. Once it's all agreed and we keep 11 are we taking Berry or more likely a classy mid/hb with 11 and then hoping to grab a small forward with the aints pick?

 

[theGav56]

Yze has a game plan?

He has concepts of a game plan.

I would go Berry if available. Projects as having midfield ability, pace and great disposal. Bolton and Berry both rolling mid/forward would create havoc.

 

[theGav56]

Reported on zero hanger so maybe not true however Freo have offered 3 first rounds of this year for both Baker and Bolton

It's such an easy thing to say isn't it

And IF true, other things like salary and other picks may be part of the picture.

If Lindsay, Travaglia and Berry are gone, I like the look of Cooper Hynes for pick 18 if we end up keeping it.

Looks aggressive doesn't he. Hynes and Treacy in the forward line would make some defenders nervous.

Hannaford not making it to the 30s (our 2nd), expect to see him move up Twomeys rankings in the next drop

Rankings in this draft have far less relevance than most other drafts.

Those who are locked into the 'take best available' mindset are going to have late nights getting their rankings sorted.

He is the 2nd best ranked small forward in the draft (exclu Kako)

Plenty of teams looking for small forwards (us, Port, Carlton, Essendon off top of my head)

Twomeys later rankings prove pretty accurate usually, order may not be right (this year) but it should go close, gotta remember our pick will be like 33ish I think

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

If he's still there just take Berry. Unless someone really good slides. But then we still need another small forward.

Bolton and Berry has us sorted.

Bolton and Berry has us sorted.

It's probably been mentioned already but there are a good bunch of sm/m forwards around 10-20 range. Berry, Hotton, Hynes, Dattoli, Hannaford, Gross. A few a bit later as well including some local boys.

It's probably why I'm not going to be devo if the Bolton deal falls over. 3 picks in that range would basically plug all the holes we have.
