Wouldn’t surprise me if they extended Young to allow Brayshaw to be signed up. Reduce Young’s pay for 25-27 for example to front load Brayshaw. Who knows, but there would be method to it as opposed to everyone freaking out that Andy is gone.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this so called ‘deep draft’ ends up. As soon as I heard there’s up to 10 possible number 1 picks, I thought it means it’s actually a very weak draft. Picks 10-30 have the illusion of deep, by virtue of there being no higher end.

Regarding small forwards. Maybe the club has their sights on Kosi. Maybe they have a plan. I’ll back them in to have some sort of forward planning (pun intended) over some bloke on BigFooty who is having a melt. Even Joe Berry was getting minimal game time next season. Some small forward at...

Our key backs: Pearce - pick 37 Cox - pick 41 Draper - cat B Chapman - pick 14 Our key forwards: Amiss - pick 8 Treacy - rookie draft pick 7 Voss - SSP I’m willing to give him more than 90 seconds. He’s no medium forward, Matt Johnson though…

LOL to the number of people who thought I was serious about trading Brayshaw. Too funny!

I threw up many scenarios during the trade period on how trading with Eagles could’ve unlocked better deals for both clubs. Won’t rehash now. I was staggered you guys did the deal you did with Carlton. Felt you shot yourselves in the foot when a much more obvious and mutually better deal for...

Now that we have selected Reid, we can trade Brayshaw to Melbourne for Pickett and Rivers…

Also had a knee injury.

You’d also love Richmond because you know there’s playing time available. Lots to process within moments of being selected, but as a young mid, Freo would’ve been one of the sides you’d hope didn’t pick you - playing time more difficult early days. He even made a comment around this fact. I’m...

Yes, but also it still tells a story. We may just have the story wrong. I don’t think it was a case of not wanting to come to Freo. More a case of disappointment he didn’t go to Richmond. Just my opinion. Once he was given more than 3 seconds to process it, he’ll be fine. His reaction was also...

Sliders v bolters Don’t think we’ve ever done well with ‘sliders’

Probably a bit young to coach…

Best medium to small defender taken from Banfield and placed on Bolton. Will finally allow Banfield the opportunity to exploit the weaker defenders and not be double teamed. Banfield could kick 60 but I’ll settle for 40.

Has it sunk in yet that we’re actually getting a 25 year old Bolton! Hand on heart. At the start of the year if you could cherry pick a player from a side Bolton would have to be in top 5 for our area of need? We’re linked to 2 other guns: Warner and Pickett. No one left. Still a nice pick...

I’m pumped. Bolton has come from the clouds. It’s all relative. No one saw Pies dropping so poorly. Same us with 4 weeks to go. Picks 10 and 11, likely 13 and 14. Sure, that means 14 = 17. We still have pick 14 and 30. F3 is whatevs but it’s points and will be around 40. There’s a minor...

Ok. Well now I’m just trading out 14 to Swans if they still want to offer 19 and 22. Stuff it. There was just a smidge of players at 11 possibly available.

10, 11, 18 Bolton 14 F3

Look, I don’t mind it. Doesn’t alter the fact they’re losing big players. Bit short sighted too. Absolutely crippled by injuries. Just feel the narrative is too much patting on their backs.

I think it’s remarkable that Tigers can lose: Baker, Rioli, Graham, Bolton and the narrative is about how well they’re going to be able to rebuild with the picks they have. Class and leadership walking out. Doesn’t seem to be the story. Just interesting.

Does Chad have any mates at Eagles? Serious question. I know he seems to have a few in Freo.

The clubs should stop the posturing. Flip a coin. Heads - 10&18 Tails - 10&11 Either way Bolton goes. Someone ‘wins’ the battle. Otherwise, just leave the deal on the desk and hit the pub. 10&18.

They don’t even leave them the sprinkles that fell on the plate!

Can we just bid on Champion now and hope they match with their no picks! The default being that if they don’t match Champion becomes a gun small! Oh my golly. I’m too giddy with how they’ve gone about this. All the moving parts like a domino effect of getting worse! Owies? I can’t even bring...

Yep. Everyone just assuming we add 30 to 10 and 18. Still high probability. I’m with you. Take the 3 spot downgrade from 11 and allows you to keep 18. 14 and 18 still provides flexibility and some decent bids will come.

10&18 and Erasmus more likely. Owies is steak knives. Emmett ain’t even a half used plastic spoon.

Wait for their deal to drop. But… Which club is most stupid if this goes down? Eagles because… well it’s horrid Or Tigers for letting pick 3 slip, in what seems like the most obvious way to achieve that pick by dealing with us first? Like I said. Need to wait for it to drop. But there just...

But pick 26 or an F2 is a perfectly reasonable but slightly unders offer. Which is expected when out of contract. It’s not - walk him to the PSD worthy of rejecting. This is an ego thing by Baker. It’s backfired for West Coast.

Make no mistake. Freo laying a marker of pick 11 (real or not) has absolutely rattled Eagles. Hilariously, our marker has become their reality. Bakers ego has become their problem. Baker wanting to see Tigers compensated fairly. Our pick 11 marker. It’s actually too funny. This should be as...

I rate Baker. Just the valuation was off. Think he may quietly surprise Eagles supporters next year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he very quickly became one of their more reliable and better players. Quietly disappointed he couldn’t see the light.
