[Snuffaluphagus]

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

And if he doesn’t want to earn below a million a season? He has quite the ego and that’s already a 200k paycut

Wait until he finds out he’s not the captain any more.

Big problem for literally any club if their first 2 rucks were out at the same time...

And let's not forget Geelong, premiership winners despite no standout designated ruck.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

I know.

Here's a present to make you feel better.

Welcome to brick season!!

 

[Kram]

The Lobb trade is reasonable, I'm ok with it.

Not really sure about the O'Meara one, probably haven't paid enough attention to Hawthorn recently to have a solid opinion.

 

[Lach72]

Just weird. The way Bell and Walls approach things in the first week then the second.
Don’t want to offer anything substantial for Acres at 26 yet JOM probably comes across on a similarly contract then what Blake will on at Carlton.

It makes some sense if you think we’re not deep enough midfield, with two 19 year olds as back up

Haha Joey. Joe played some good footy back on the day for Perth & West Perth. He’ll be on here somewhere, big Freo man.

 

[Tobiko]

Oh No we traded Lord O-Meekron! My favourite Freo player...Allthe best mate. Good Luck. I am shaking my fist at you Bell!!

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Wow, i doubt there's anyone that would have paid a 2nd rounder for O'meara - let alone throw in Meek. I can't fathom our logic.

Seriously, this trade period feels like we lost on Logue, Lobb, Acres, O'meara and Meek. Tucker was a neutral. I'm reserved on Jackson (First, future first, but I'm very very very happy to be proven wrong). I just want to know what position he will play. The Hawks took O'meara out of the middle for lots of this year, his numbers fell off markedly - he had 7 games with less than 20 possessions, his last three years average was three of <20. Who's position will be play - Andy's, Serongs, Brodies, Fyfes, Ras's...it really lacks cohesion in the strategy. On paper, we're weaker at Ruck depth, Attack, (mid field neutral - Mundy for O'Meara, although we lost 12cm in height) and lost our next back up KDP. We're stronger at colourful horses aka unicorns. We lost so much size its not funny - our players by kilo have dropped alot (Logue was 101kg, Lobb > Jackson by 24kg according to AFLTables, Acres is 9kg > O'meara, Tucker had a hardened body, , Meek was 111Kg - and Collingwood exposed us in the final for being under developed, we've gone massively backwards from having mature bodies. This is sooo old Freo, nothing like we've been recently.

every player gets less average possessions playing half-forward compared to playing in the guts

GWS were offering #19 for JOM but he nominated us.

As for Tucker ... he could have easily been this year's Blakley: shopped around for zero interest.

Logue was a good deal. This is a guy who never nailed down his position in what, 6 years?

Meek is decent deal for a state league ruckman.

The Acres deal is meh because Acres himself is the very definition of meh

The only trade I'm disappointed in is Lobb. I wanted that bastard to stay and earn his pay ... every last cent of it. If he sooked I would have been happy to see him rust away in the magoos. I hate seeing a player (and his agent) scoop up the big years of a front loaded deal and then bail when the pay goes down. I would have been happy to lose him for nothing next year to keep him in the Freo Salt Mines for 2023.

Mean spirited and petty of me? Yep, sure. I'll put my hand up to that.

... hold for the AFL fixing a trade mistake...

Looks more like Meek & Dog's F2 for O'Meara

 

[wakojako]

Is it? Add a F4 from Hawks, Gold Coast have 2 academy kids next year, Sharp is OOC. Guess who will be wanting some later picks?

What range are the academy kids going to be?

 

[trentjac]

Lobb, Acres and Cox are best mates. If Cox requests a trade to Victoria anytime in the near future, I will cry myself to sleep to the end of eternity

No F4?

You can throw Griff and Tucker in there too. All sat around the same table at the doig. WAGS are all close too...

Neither of the clubs involved mentioned the F4 in their media..

... but they have deleted their media

JOM is a far, far superior footballer to Acres.

**** and I thought trade radio was shit ….. well it is but then I saw TRADE TV

Whole heap of dorks sitting around talking about that time they almost got laid

Start the countdown clock

It’s all over for this world

 

[Taylor]

Ok Confirmed.

Dogs F2 and Meek for O'Meara and F4 (which I believe is Brisbane's)
