The GWS recruiting team remind me of cops in the earlier years of their careers - by desperately trying to prove your worth you turn into a power hungry narcissistic idiot.

Does not explain their strange and unchallenged relationship with the Blues where they happily give away endless players for the value of a bag of chips.

GWS now guarantees (or so the editorial headline goes) Wilson will be traded to Freo!

Have they named the Richmond player yet behind the photo saga .... Would be a difficult time and adjustment the next year or so if Jake was to leave and go to a club out of Vic. How he's going in patching things up with his Mrs etc or not. Be a hard call to get him.

Paid overs for Smith, but unders for Saad IMO

I reckon a 13 pick downgrade in this year's draft, plus a one round upgrade in next year's draft, in return for Smith is close to unders. GWS badly wanted a top end draft pick this year though.
Surely the Saad trade solidifies Wilson's worth as next years second round pick.

I think you are in the same position. You still have Gorter sitting on your rookie list, I think (haven't heard if that has changed). I quite like him.

I don't rate Smith that highly, & a 13 pick downgrade that early is different to one past pick 40 etc
getting rid of Pearce is neither here nor there. He is under contract for next year and we hardly need the list spot, which would be a pick around 80. He can play a developmental role at Peel.How many of you of read the entire article.
It was pretty balanced. He also said get rid of D Pearce
I am also a fan of Aliir.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Fremantle knocking on the door of the top eight in 2018, but a lot will depend on it having a healthy list with Fyfe and Sandilands leading the way, McCarthy and Kersten becoming consistent performers and Hamling developing further into his defensive role.
If the club can move on more of those experienced players — and I back the decision to move on back-up ruckmen Clarke and Griffin — like Pearce and Suban and bring in some talented youngsters via the draft and watch them develop, I expect them to be in the mix to play finals for the next two to three years.
This comment is only worth making if he is also giving insight into the depth of the draft which he is not.

Smiths best footy might be in the midfield, which is where Essendon want to play him
Will be interesting to see how he fares
If they manage to nab Stringer on the cheap they will be banging on the door of the 8 for sure
The comment is made in regards to the C graders on our list, and that won't help us win a premiership. At least if you go to the draft you have a chance to get an A or a B grader.
Michael Gleeson reports that Fremantle's Lachie Weller has asked to be traded home to the Gold Coast.
The Dockers, Suns and GWS Giants are now exploring options for a three way exchange that would also see Giants running defender Nathan Wilson move to the Dockers.
Freo and GWS had struck some difficulties in finalising a direct trade for Wilson to move back to WA and Weller has emerged as a player able to help make that move happen.
The Suns have suggested trading a second round pick to the Giants for the young onballer. That pick would go straight to GWS with Wilson moving to Freo.

Yeah I suppose extra list space next year won't be a bad thing if the draft really is "super".
The difficulty for us will be having the picks to fill the gaps.
I'd be asking Melbourne for their future third for Balic
