Trade Recap: Action galore as trades come thick and fast

Fremantle have secured trades for a trio of players, with Darcy Tucker, Griffin Logue and Blake Acres all leaving, while they’ve also been linked to a retired star. Recap all the news and updates here.

Not a fan of the F3> F4 swap but my guess is North didn’t consider an early third as suitable swap on it’s own for Tucker.

Trade 1. PP-F2 (20-22) for out of contract Logue
Trade 2. PP-F3 (38-40) & F4 (55-57) > Tucker, F3 (50-52)

This, or perhaps even less for tucker - we‘re quite happy to get his salary off the 2023 books.

it’s probably more like tucker for future 4th.

Picture a prime North Melbourne great in Wayne Carey launching at the pack and taking another contested mark, then slotting it calmly from 45m out.

Complete opposite of that.

Cant I just expect the next coming of Carey all preseason until round 1 when all my hopes and dreams are destroyed in true freo-tragic fashion

 

[Joao]

He actually did mention Amiss,
and his point about us needing a gun forward is true- if obvious.

Fair enough. Must of zoned out when he was terrible.

Obvious is the point. I don't need 50 year old men to tell me we don't have a replacement for Lobb and we need more goals. Give me something interesting.

 

[Alfonz]

So why didn't they just walk Logue? There was literally nothing stopping them, other than reputation.

Because their priority picks would have been forfeited if they didn't use them, and the only players to use them on were Logue and Tucker. Nobody else wants to go to North. From their point of view they have got them for nothing, and actually with a slight pick upgrade, so it is better than walking them to the PSD.

Think every1 needs to chill tfo... The only objective of the trade and draft period is to improve the list. If you stop assessing/melting over individual trades and look at the list as a whole you'll probably feel a lot better about this off season and where it is headed.

Acres was an ok stop gap this year but he was never the future. A good leading forward like Amiss doesn't want to spend his career with Acres delivering the ball from the wing (from the sky more accurately). People will point to his defensive run being important whilst simultaneously complaining that our attacking ball movement is s**t. I strongly doubt losing him will have much of a negative impact next year - just like losing Cerra didn't either.

Logue was also never a long term solution for our forward line. He was a stop gap because our other tall forward options (ie Amiss and Treacy) weren't 100%. You simply can't afford to pay $700k+ over 5 years for a depth KPD. Would be great to have kept him (not on that coin) but serviceable depth KPDs generally aren't very expensive (both TPP and draft capital).

Retaining Tucker would be pointless with Erasmus and Johnson both having far higher ceilings and needing opportunities. We'd be repeating the mistake we made with Blakely.

Moving forward without these three guys provides an opportunity to fill their roles with better options...

Jackson will be a massive upgrade on Logue. I get that people are obsessed with "winning" trades but two first rounders in the teens really isn't a big spend for an athletic tall like Jackson. We are getting more than a decade out of this kid and if you think he is even close to finished product atm then you'd be very much mistaken. Stop overvaluing draft picks - we have a young Rising Star winner wanting to come our way and unlike a tall in the draft he will make an immediate impact.

Corbett and Sharp are no world beaters but if you've complained about our forward line and our attack in the front half of the ground then you should be supporting getting these two.

And if you don't want McDonald-Tipungwuti because we already have too many small forwards and he is old then I'm not sure (a) you've ever watched how Tippa plays and the impact he has as a part of a forward line; and (b) you've watched how non-threatening the Freo forward line is most weeks. Would take the gamble in a heart beat - if it pays off it'd be a massive boost up forward.

Amiss, Erasmus, Johnson, Treacy and Sturt all likely to have greater opportunities next year. Can see Wilson deservedly playing more games and Hamling being good KPD depth. Maybe even see an Ultan Kelm debut unless he is running a full speed. Plenty to work with and can see our list by pre-season being a better balance of defence and attack than it was last season - and that's the logical next step after finishing 5th despite having a bottom 6 attack.

Hello Freo employee. Dont worry about the melts we had people freaking after Serong thanked his GF in his speech.

Melbourne just bent over to port???

I would have taken those three picks for an f2 in the Jackson deal

Bent over? Feels like a decent price to move up 6 spots

 

[Eski3]

Would we be ok with 13, Future 1st and North's Future 2nd for Jackson and 27?

 

[Lach72]

Hmmm 27 Grundy maybe

 

[Joao]

No.

Not personally, but it may happen

 

[Taylor]

I think that's too much.

Taranto goes for #12 and #19.
We can trade #13 and #20 (next year)

I don't see why we need to throw in an extra first there.

 

[Wabjub]

That North F2 is worth a lot more then a second round this year. Given the talent next year and north most likely being wooden spooners it would be pretty much as good as a late first rounder/similar to our Johnson pick this year.

We paid a future 3rd to move from 27 to 22 last year.

 

[freo1]

The fact the Peter Bell is not discussing trades this year (being left to Walls) must surely be because he's leaving yeah? Would be a conflict of interest if he was involved in trade week. His lack of presence is a gimme that he's gone.

Melbourne might still have to do that to get that top 25 pick Collingwood want for Grundy

Hope he has fun with Griff.

Maybe. Or Walls is just ready to take the lead now.

Do we know this? Seems odd that they'd go up for that pick which feels about right for Grundy

 

[Taylor]

Or maybe Walls is already in Melbourne and Bell doesn't need to spend a week and a half in Melbourne going out to dinner and sleeping in a hotel just yet
