I'd want to split 1 of those high pick for a couple in the teens. The WA boys don't seem to be rated in that top 10 range and i can't remember a time fremantle have reached for a WA player in the first round. We only ever seem to pick them if they fall in the range.
Point being we could get value with a downgrade as WA players never seem to be rated as highly. See Naughton or English as an example.
We..... Not me I knew Ross the stubborn boss was playing him out of positions and playing his usual favourites with ballas and he just needed a bit of consistency and directionWe all thought Brandon Matera would be delisted this time last year.
I’m with you.
Keep 1 pick .....Brodie Kemp/Robertson
Take the other knock on Gold Coasts door or (gasp) the Eagles ...trade it for 2 in the teens/20’s plus future something to round out value.
Not to freaked out on losing 1 of these for Henry because it should protect our pick 26 and what we can get for Ed ? let’s just say 22.
End up with Kemp/Robertson, match Henry and still got a shot at 2 of Sharp/Rivers/Jackson.... if we get lucky get all 3.
A lot of people on the board seeming to suggest these WA U18's are going to be the messiah of the football club, do we need any reminding our draft record in recent years has not been that good so do we really have faith that this is going to be any different this year? Even for our players as highly drafted as Logue and Cerra the jury is still out on them and they are still really getting by largely on potential.Yeah I’m not dead against this. In this scenario we’d end up with 5 top 30 players with a strong WA contingent which definitely helps with our depth issues.
Saying that I’m not against keeping 6, 7 getting Henry and probably a top 35 pick leftover from the Henry bid. It brings in 4 players with 3x top 15 picks.
It should be an exciting draft for us as it could set us up for years. Please don’t stuff this up Freo.
The four most important Footy Department decision makers have all gone over the last 12 months.

With regard to Langdon. Given Melbourne seem to desperately want to hang onto pick 22 (not that I believe this). Also I believe that band 3 compo picks will be awarded to GWS (Tomlinson - Pick 38) and Richmond (Ellis - Pick 40) thus leaving Melbourne with pick 42. How about the following:
Trade 1: 6, 2020 3rd > BHill, 2020 4th
Trade 2: 3, 42 > 6, Langdon
Trade 3: Nick Robertson, 2020 4th > St Kilda 2020 3rd
Leaving us with: 3, 7, 26, 42, 82
Pick 6 > 3, 42 (equates to pick 21 on pts)
Pick 7 > 3, 42 (equates to pick 18 on pts)
Ellis will be pick 20 I reckon.
Honestly it seems like just a rumour that was started on here. He's had a decent couple of years at Geelong but dunno why we'd recruit him after we let him go years backMenegola?... I’d laugh at us too if we were trying to recruit him
I think 12 and 18 is worth the gamble of splitting 3. If we get pick 12 before Henry bid then great but even of it gets used on a Henry bid we are getting an extra first round pick and it seems to be a pretty even spread till about 25.It’s solid, nice work
I feel that pick 3 and 4 this year GWS will be pushing hard to get because like us, if they have that, they won’t burn their first pick on their academy kid.
So that pick 3 could be split for GWS picks 12, 18, future 3rd. Issue is 12 and 18 doesn’t avoid the concern for us, as we would assume that Henry will have a bid placed on him by the time 18 comes up
Whoever it is, I’d like find a way to have 3 picks before 15, that’ll have freo not burning a top 20 pick for Henry

I think we need more players who are still going to be quality all first/early second rounders
