Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[exxcessivve]

Feels like a big dropoff from the top 15 (excluding academy picks)

Much prefer the quality over quantity at this point in our list build

True, but other than Joe Berry and Tobie Travaglia and Xavier Lindsay, I can't see any players around that range who would suit Freo. And they might be off the board. Who do you have in mind?

Those 3 or if not those 3 then the other slider that has fallen (Bo, Reid)

There could be a scenario where its only a KPF or KPD that we simply don't need (or even a certain type of mid), in which case live trading down may work for us

I just feel its pretty likely that one of 6 or 7 players will end up sliding to us but I could be wrong

According to channel 9 we have decided to pass on both Narkle and Carroll. Strange as I thought Narkle was signed, sealed and delivered.

So why did we delist more than we needed?

Enter Ash Johnson

Edit: Nah just kidding

Potentially a pick swap ? 14 for 2x GWS or Swans later 1st round picks?

I would find it extremely odd for us to delist Emmet and move Knobel to the rookie list to go into the season with an unused list spot...

Again and I said this before. Brierty said unfortunately for Max we need to make room for 3 ND selections.

My initial thought was DFA. But I now feel we must have committed as part of a previous contract arrangement to upgrade one of our rookies. His statement implies the delisting of Knobel opened up 3 spots. Therefore that is the most logical explanation.

I, for one embrace this news. My preference was Carroll, but if Freo have had a look at this and declined both Carroll and Narkle I’m in favour.

Gives us a pick in the Rookie draft.

We usually take 4 in the draft

We have enough to do that

We’ve been doing 3 and a rookie. Walls said Knobel was delisted to make space for 3 ND picks. We clearly were gonna pick up one of those guys (seemed like Narkle) but it fell through for whatever reason

 

[thistimeforsure]

I dunno about the combine stuff but he does sound a bit shooterish

As in sort of Sibosado - a bit unfit vibe? Or?

You can see for yourself here:


I think he has clear talent, but feels like a Willie Rioli situation where he'll be looked over until he improves his professionalism.

Jammo or someone said he failed a medical at Brisbane. Either way I was really underwhelmed when hearing his possible addition and don’t feel that he adds anything.

Yeah he failed a medical at Brisbane. From memory it was a knee issue.

Freo taking a father/son

 

[dexter_]

Freo taking a father/son

[Paracleet]

A mature ager who has mostly only played WAFL reserves?

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

... Okay didn't see that coming

Was 50/50 league & reserves for Souths this season (9 games each). Not the most impressive league stats but kicked a few goals in the ressies.

But that's not the point, he's an actual father-son selection!

 

[mattis117]

Pies delist Johnson and Markov to rookie


Both contracted

Why we don't do it that way baffles me

Instead we've given knobel lifetime DFA

Maybe because we have a better list than they do? Haha. Pies list and Freo list are opposite ends of the spectrum so pretty unrealistic comparison.

Does it really count if no other club is interested... Unlikely to be matching a bid right?
