Game Day 2022 Trade Period Match Thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Thanks for making this an awesome trade period peeps. Will be locking this thread later tonight

 

[freo_leo29]

Just for reference here is the currents state of 2023 draft picks based on 2022 standings

Feels good to have future picks for once

we usually trade all of them early

Although we obvs gonna lose f1

 

[kp junior]

After listening to Walls on trade radio I have formed a firm belief that Freo are shat off at Lobb and WB for doing a deal while Lobb is still under contract and are well aware they will get a first rounder for him on the trade deadline if they treat the process and everyone involved with the contempt the situation deserves.

Yeah it’s a bit like the Weller to GC situation on a much smaller scale. The Bulldogs have committed to Lobb it would seem, and will have to make trade happen with a decent pick

Then we should expect pick #11

And we should only do that trade after Jackson is done

 

[Gekko71]

Any further word on what's happening with Tippa?

I was actually quite a fan of his during his Bombers career, I loved the way he played the game, and on reading articles like the one below, he is exactly the kind of bloke you want around your club influencing your younger players

Universal adoration: How we all fell in love with Walla

The flashy and fleet-footed Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti gave all of us some amazing memories.

Do we reckon the Jackson trade should be done by Tuesday? So many following trades depend on it happening early.

 

[Swiggy]

What do we get out of trading Lobb? I've yet to hear one convincing argument for trading him.

Picks… bring more talent in. He doesn’t want to be at freo

 

[MadDocker]

Lobb stays and he's probably our highest goal scorer. Lobb leaves and we get a 18 year old. Giving Amiss etc another year of development is worth hanging onto Lobb if we dont get something juicy.

I think it will be done twenty minutes after the Demons ask WC for their best offer and it's nothing close to two firsts.

 

[JammoMonty]

Lobb ain’t going anywhere. Will have to stick out another year at Freo. Very important to our forward structure.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Doesn't make any sense to me unless we are worried about Darcy in the future




If Darcy is injured then Jackson rucks and Treacy does fwd/ruck

If Jackson is injured then Darcy rucks and Treacy does fwd/ruck


if both injured then sure we need Meek but surely that won't

The club loves meek. Reckon he is one of the hardest trainers, and a real club man. The kind of person you want to keep around. If lobb goes, he is imperative. If we get the right pick lobb will go, which I think will happen. It’s a shame he plays such an important position, he would have been gone a while ago.

Thats all well and good but realistically he can't and shouldn't get a game when we have Darcy and Jackson

It entirely depends on what Jackson is to us. A not quite 2m tall player, maybe ruck, maybe midfielder.

Why? How does that benefit us? Unless the right pick is a straight first rounder then he needs to stay.

If we are playing Meek and Darcy together then we are going backwards

Has to be either Jackson or Treacy in Lobbs role

 

[s_wd6]

Actually really embarrassing for the club do straight up declare that Lobb is going nowhere, then to spiel on about why we need to keep him (essentially saying look how ****ed we'll be without him), only for us to let him go for a pick in the 20s.

 

[King Huskii]

Lol I don’t condone or condemn either way mate but I thought I better let you know what you were potentially getting yourself into!

I used to love getting wasted. Even flew to Amsterdam twice just to see Mecca.

These days well... it's probably once a year

 

[Carnthedockers]

You could be right, but he will. Otherwise we will lose him.

I'm looking at Jackson in neither of the ruck or forward roles.

I think that’s what the club wants too

I agree mate. The words have seemed adamant. Not your typical ‘He’s important to us, but out of respect we’ll see if something can be done there’ type comment.

They’ve been staunch in the no trade line. To backtrack and go ‘we’ll Dogs offer was substantial blah blah’ would really piss me off.

Dogs would need to literally offer us 11 or a future first, because it’s then not about his value as such but provide us the flexibility in future years due to the restraints in trading too many first rounders over 4 year periods.

I’d keep Lobb regardless. I’m big on when you say something you mean it.

Nothing embarrassing about it at all. It's the way we get the best possible pick for him. Wednesday night, he's either staying or we've received maximum value for him.

Treacy in Lobbs role then

The club has said that you can say your house isn't for sale but everything does have a price.

I think Freo want #11

 

[Taylor]

Treacy in Lobbs role then

That is how he has been playing in the WAFL, ruck/fwd

But if Meek and Darcy are playing then he is spending all game forward

 

[Cobbler]

Absolutely it does, but I’m not taking 21 for a start.

I’m also not taking a pissy upgrade from 13 to 11 if that’s just to appease Melb.

Here’s the thing. Do we in anyway see ourselves as a premiership chance with Lobb? The answer has to be yes. So, for that reason alone pick 21 ain’t worth giving up that shot of a flag. Neither is pick 11 BUT the only difference is that’s just too hard to refuse.
