GWS are a great team. We can definitely win. A lot to look forward to. Bedford may clamp Oliver which may stall some of his pre-season momentum but I'm pumped :)

yeah, it would.

I think a bit less due to him being 4 years older than Jackson, so less service. But for a club in the window he may be worth that. He's a leader too.

if the coaches votes is crap I'd hate to know what the Brownlow is! The coaches votes is by far the most credible award to win. Votes go to forwards and defenders (not just mids) and thus far coaches have been very fair with giving votes.

All well and good but his accolades speak for themselves. If you did your research you'd know all 18 coaches had him as the best player in the league in 2021 and 2022 (tied with touk miller).

I wouldn't mind trialling Bowey forward and put Lindsay in Bowey's role.

it certainly makes the Pickett trade easier. But totally agree. I think we need to go hard at GWS's list of small forwards. They have an abundance.

apparently he is a 2nd ruck only. basically regurgitating what all the freo fans said 2 years ago 😆

you couldn't script this. When dees traded Jackson, freo fans: "we overpaid for a 2nd ruck. this guy is potential only". Now it's: "umm he's worth Pickett and firsts". lol. it'd be a straight swap and even then I'd prefer Pickett

Positives: Form of Oliver and Trac. The team never gave up. Fought back into the contest despite the impending blow out. Can't fault the effort. Sparrow was really good again. One of the best long kicks for goal in the team too. Jed Adams showed something Seems like AJ is ahead of Jefferson in...

haha if this was true, I can't imagine my response 😅

don't practice goal kicking at training. get what you deserve.

My 5 wishes for the Freo match Just a competitive effort defensively, considering their recent ownage of us last year. Lindsay to consolidate round 1 spot. Trac and Oliver to be dialled in. Aiden Johnson to perform strongly. No injuries

lol. I actually sort of agree with you. But there's absolutely 0 chance Pickett comes to Melbourne without coughing up a top 10 pick. so you'll have to trade your way into a super early pick or start thinking of which players you're willing to depart with to make that happen. Stop pretending...

yeah, I mean if the price is right. The Dees were offering 2 first rounders for Houston which I personally thought was a crazy offer for his age and our list profile. Thankfully he got cold feet. Of course I wanted a good player like him at the dees but only for the right price. Like getting...

Simon Goodwin: "'Kozzy' is contracted until the end of 2027, but our responsibility as a club is to make sure he is in a position where he is really enjoying his time at Melbourne the club, Melbourne the city, and he wants to stay. "I don't only see 'Kozzy' playing until 2027, I see him...

Exactly my point regarding Oliver. Because saying 'they are a required player and won't be traded' doesn't mean anything because as in the Oliver case it wasn't true. That's why if they said that about Pickett, no-one would believe it. Oh I agree with you, Freo are a great team on paper...

To be fair, the club said that about Oliver before trying to shop him off to Adelaide and Geelong. The 'won't be traded' club line wears thin. it means nothing. I love what Green said. Because it echoes exactly what my thoughts have been. It's 3 firsts or he stays. Sure you can be literal and...

lol. yeah, Tim Lamb is going to trade a contracted player till 2027 because a president said he'd cost 3 first rounders. i.e. the most a player has ever been traded for. What did you want him to say? 4 first rounders? :) Really bizarre why people are seeming to think Melbourne isn't in box...

that's a good point. I hope White nominates us. We certainly deserve it after losing out on Mac Andrew. Sinnema looked great in pre-season training.

I'd probably just say to freo, turn whatever futures you have and give us 2 x top 10's. So whether it's 3x firsts or 2 good firsts, I don't personally mind.

I do think that he's more likely to go than stay. It'll either be 3 firsts or 2 good firsts. Murphy Reid is contracted so not sure why his name has come up. Unless he'd prefer to be at the dees.

yeah, but it has us giving multiple picks back which means it's not 3 first rounders. The demons Future 2nd is going to be pretty close to the value of a Freo Future 1.

3 first rounders or we'll keep him.

No way Melbourne would be handing back any picks to get 9, a F1 and a junk pick close to 30. If anything it'd be freo coupling their 2027 F1 with their 2026 F1 to get say pick 10. and it'd be 9 and 10. But even then, we wouldn't say yes to that under contract. So more would need to be added...

not even close lol.

but is it a win for Freo? 3 firsts is costly. I mean, if you're happy with it then sure. I agree that Melbourne may do a rebuild but we've got much more young talent on our list than Richmond have. Windsor (pick 7), Langford (pick 6), Lindsay (pick 11), Tholstrup (pick 13), coupled with Van...

I think Tim Lamb said a similar thing when trading Luke Jackson. He said something like 'there's first rounders and there's first rounders' during trade week, alluding to the fact that Freo's offer wasn't suffice. But he ended up accepting what was considered a bad first rounder at the time (a...

except for Petty (Adelaide), Petracca (Carlton) and Oliver (Geelong) and Pickett in the most recent trade period (freo) right?

reality hitting in that you're not going to get Pickett for cheap. He'll cost more than Bolton and rightly so being significantly younger.
