Did they say it wasn't going to happen?

That's all half these tweets from journos are. Vague hints about nothing to keep their name/their employer's name out there.
It's all just marketing via social media.
I do Weller + 74 for StK 14 & 45 (or next year’s third)
Send
14 & 22 & 45 (or StKnext year’s third) to GWS for McCarthy & 66.
That looks fair for Weller we pay overs for McCarthy, but not too much.
Weller is skilled as will be good, but we have a fair risk of losing him.
Save of next year first pick next year to go hard for you know who the year after.
Remember you must use 1 first round pick in a four year period. So if we trade out this years and next, it might make our bargaining in 2 years difficult.
Trade Radio interesting changed it’s tone on the McCathy trade as well, from No.No.NO! to #MCCathyorbust.
I think it will get done for something like the above.

Because we will have Weller, Langdon, Blakely and Bennell instead of Mzungu, De Boer, Pearce and Suban
Also Sandilands will play in 2017 and we still have Griff for after that. Apeness and Taberner will be better players as will Alex Pearce and Johnson will still be there.
Oh and some guy called Fyfe.
Who knows what we can find in the upcoming drafts, especially next years super draft plus we will get Cam eventually.
Of course it could all go pear shaped but imagine if we traded Neale for McCarthy only to have Cam turn into a spud and Lachie to win a brownlow at the Crows.
You don't have to explain the being an interstate club with no recent success makes it tough thing to me, I support Adelaide !!
Hawks have in the past traded out picks and players (not as good as Neale) to get the list right - that was my point. Freo do not have the luxury of choice here. My question was is it worth it? I understand the resistance ... but if the choice was one or the other - would your club make that hard-line choice of what is better for the over-all balance?

Even if we got another 1st round pick, it won't mean much now that GWS have dug their heels in.

Id rather trade Weller than Neale. Neale is pretty unique in our list, Weller not so much.
I will relish every failure and cheer for any club that play against them from now on. Dicks of the highest order.
What's unique about Neale?
I am seriously not looking forward to the "Cam McCarthy is over rated anyway, he is their 3rd tall argument." He is a seriously talented kid. I am sure we did our best to get him, however GWS are simply making a stand (Fair enough). But is still pains me that we were unable to land him (unless a miracle happens).

The solar system thing, hes mercury.
How many gun, goal kicking, high possession winning mids can you think of that are his age?
And he's short. That's pretty unique in our midfield

There's always next year. When he's a year out from end of contract, still wants to come home, and GWS have a choice of him walking the following year or trading him for something closer to real market value.
Josh Simpson was. I just don't think we've seen enough of Weller at either level to be making calls like this though.
Interesting post on the GWS board

Might be worth pointing out "Yeah I know. Cant believe he didn't trade McCarthy to the dockers"
