Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

[stallon]

Very happy to be wrong - I rate him real high. 200+ gamer/AA in his position.

I guess my question was around do we have the capital - sounds like we do

Hes probably worth pick 7/8 areas

For reference Rankine went for pick 5 to the Crows

 

[THE A5]

Trading the Barass pick and Oscar for Pickett would be the trade of the century. Would definitely add some steel to the team.
Just imagine the damage Harley and Kozzi could do if they were unleashed.
Pyke said we would be aggressive, Go for it Don !!!!!

Christ sake. Trading a good key forward for good small forward is one the stupidest list decision’s you can make. You start to build teams around key forwards and bringing smalls like pickett to support em and not vise versa. The shit he cops around he is flipping laughable. He had a season like Waterman just last season and that was is a side that was much worse than this years team and after missing most of the season via injury he was as expected way off pace and yet still had some great games to go with it. We are much better side with snake/Allen than we are with Snake/kozzie

 

[kaiserchief13]

Would not trade more than pick 12 for Pickett

God there are some stupid people in this thread

[ronpingwins]

Don’t think we’ll actually be involved with Pickett going by that. Would mean Freo can’t stump up the currency, in which case to outbid them, the currency is 3 or F1 straight up. Which is too much.

Almost certainly takes them out of a Warner chase next year though, which will be handy.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Would our F1 + Barrass pick for kozzie be viable?

What you smokin!!

just switched off the west footy pod because barra is a ****ing idiot then i see the same idea floated here... anyone suggesting harley is traded needs to be shot into the ****ing sun.

Have you just worked out Barra is an idiot, he loves making sh1t up.

[Elite Pete]

I too have had the same thought minus Baker.
If we can't hold on to Reid no club will hold a better hand than Richmond has at the moment.

It would be a little worry for the list team.

They wouldnt pay 1,6,9 and Baker.

Would Harley agree to go to Richmond? How do you approach this with him and then of knocks it back? He then creates his own path out and value decreases.

They would love a signature for at least a 4th year in this off season. Would help with the future recruitment.

Archer Reid still hasn’t signed on either. Would love an extra 2 years for him right now.

Harley's management has specifically told him not to sign anything until next year as it will almost certainly increase his value.

 

[ep2018]

At a minimum we can be throwing dollars at Pickett to force Fremantle to use up a bit more cap space than they’d like

aka throw a mention of the possibility of him going to West Coast so freo have to pay more for him. Basically the same sort of language they used with Jackson a couple years ago. He's no chance here.

 

[stallon]

I do hope Pickett will be gettable for us, I think he would be a great get even if we had to split our F1. If we turned out f1 into Pickett + roughly pick 16ish next year(id want the future pick) that would be a win imo.

Adding Pickett, Peatling and Baker to the squad would be a huge boost

FB: Hough HEdwards Hunt
HB: Ginbey Gov Maric
C: Hutchinson Yeo Kelly
HF: Ryan Allen Long
FF: Pickett Waterman JWilliams
R: BWilliams Reid Peatling
Int: Hewett Baker Duggan pick 3
Sub: pick 12 from Barrass trade

Guys like Dewar, Cripps, Hall, Bazzo, Johnston, Petch, Cole and Chesser as depth who could come straight in.
We have a bit of a logjam where we cant give games to everyone who needs them. Good problem to have though.

Something like this I think could be pretty competitive next year. We'd have midfield depth and a very dangerous forward line.
Backline depth is lacking a bit though.

Unless we are sure Warner will be available then save our F1 and cancel Pickett

 

[Keys]

Harley's management has specifically told him not to sign anything until next year as it will almost certainly increase his value.

Which makes complete sense

Ideally, we get him to sign an extension mid next year.

 

[18082015]

I would pay

3+12

for 5+ Kozzy pickett

Essentially giving up 12 + a two pick downgrade for Pickett

Still allows us to land one of Draper / Langford / Smillie / Smith / FOS

 

[UseR2006]

Why would we blow picks on Kozzie?
Don't we have Champion just sitting there waiting for free practically?

That’s probably the most sensible suggestion I’ve seen

Kozi is already an A-grader. Champion is an unknown

Almost certainly takes them out of a Warner chase next year though, which will be handy.

Feathers and Freo are never out of trades though because every year one or sometimes multiple of their best 22 players requests a trade and they have had some luck with other clubs over paying.

 

[beagles]

I have read all his comments and can't see Kozzy moving nor WC burning a 1st round pick during a rebuild.

So how many pages have been wasted on this and day trading?

Please, all 1st round picks should/need to be used on young mids like FOS, Draper, Jagger, Smillie, Lalor, Langford, Ried etc.

 

[bzparkes]

Harley's management has specifically told him not to sign anything until next year as it will almost certainly increase his value.

That's a good sign, means he could actually be interested in an extension already, I presume.

 

[Ghossein]

Harley's management has specifically told him not to sign anything until next year as it will almost certainly increase his value.

believe the salary cap increase comes in next year or the year after

this is simply good management given the information available

 

[Barrybran]

Kozi is already an A-grader. Champion is an unknown

A grader is a stretch but he's a known commodity and has some upside still

 

[stallon]

A grader is a stretch but he's a known commodity and has some upside still

Well as much as a small forward can be A grade. Going at 40 goals a year in his last 4 seasons, not bad when hes only 23. Number 1 in tackles inside 50 last year too

On face value, I agree with this however even if it cost the picks we receive from Hawthorn for Barrass, we would be getting a very good young player with excellent goal sense, great forward pressure and the ability to play midfield AND we would still have our own picks this year and next. Pick 12 and Hawthorn's F1 both have uncertainty.
