List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

We have to fit Isiah Winder in somehow!!!!

Don't forget Josh Schache for that crucial key forward depth!!

 

[freo1997]

Fair enough IMO.

Quite obviously something is terribly wrong.

Pretty sure their old club doctor is taking them to court too very soon. Then there’s Clayton Oliver (Max Gawn wants him up in qld to keep eyes on him this off season) Petracca, Pickett wants out and the coach has a gambling problem I hear.

Place is a mess.

 

[freo1997]

I love Walters, you could argue he's a top 5 player all time for Fremantle, he's had such a sustained impaxt over his time in the league and at the club, I'd love to see him get an official retirement and farewell game, he's one of the best that we've ever had, but maybe he's decided to just do a quiet one, wants what is best for the team.

Was told early this year and was just waiting for the announcement but it never came. Maybe a change of heart, but I hate to see him languishing in the wafl.

Hmm, could have had a change of mind, could easily just want one more shot at finals and greatness, maybe that's the one thing driving him to keep going.

 

[Pivot Piece]

We should petition the AFL to delay the finals every year since we always peak in October

That's a pretty standard salary for someone ranked around the 12-15 range in a best 22. It's about what our offer would be for Baker. Which hopefully we put in the bin if it is still on the table.

Would be amazed if Switta is on that kind of money. A mature age recruit, small forward that was pick 73 and has kicked just 55 goals in 88 games over 7 years?
Signed his last deal about 2 years ago when he was pretty unestablished and injury prone.
Never benefitted from being an overpaid former first round pick like many others either.

He would have been on minimum chips for a long time.

I agree he’s a 12-15 ranked player on the list. Dont mistake that for being the 12th or even 15th highest paid though.
Off the top of my head JOM, Aish, Brodie, would all be worse than him but earning more.

Put it this way. If we were only offering former first round pick Blake acres $350k pa in 2022, there is just no way Switta was given a $600k deal.

Probably thought we were a good chance at challenging and so this was one more crack. That one more crack never game so he might have reconsidered and decided to give it one last chance.

 

[Ge3ks]

Walter's to take the Bob Murphy job. We need him at the club. A small forward coach, and mentoring role would be awesome.

Switta signed his deal June last year. Definitely would have been some rejigging done there, with at least some knowledge of the new CBA. 600k is the new 400k.

 

[MadMundy]

Walters as a coach would be very good I reckon.

How many small forwards can freo get???

actually a sneaky good player when he is on

Bombers were big on him last time he signed, expect him to go there

 

[freo1997]

At the end of the day with Bolton and potentially Kosi..on top the development of Simpson hopefully.

Walters, Emmet and Banfield types will be cutting the oranges at half time and that’s it. There is no place for them when potentially we have this elite fwd line.

HFF: Freddy Treacy Bolton
FF: Pickett Amiss Jackson

Simpson off the bench. Sturt waiting in the wings.

 

[freo_leo29]

Was it Rosas who had a game a few weeks ago that made Freddy look like peak Greg Williams?

yeah, worst I've ever seen Rosas play haha

 

[freo_leo29]

I just don't see how Dees trade Kozi though, too young to let him go under contract

 

[wakojako]

I just don't see how Dees trade Kozi though, too young to let him go under contract

He probably has a very genuine reason though. If it's true that both Kozzie and his gf have family in Perth and want to start a family, you kind of have to trade him don't you? I believe Bolton's excuse of wanting to move back to WA much less.

 

[Cobbler]

I just don't see how Dees trade Kozi though, too young to let him go under contract

Where there’s smoke. Honestly, when it’s mentioned it just snowballs and gathers pace. Eventually the player makes a formal request.

I’m just hoping it’s us.

If that happens, I’m near certain we’ll be able to do it.

 

[Lach72]

Again, feels a bit like the wheels are coming off.

Tassie coming soon. Maybe they cash in on Petracca and Pickett now, get a group together around Rivers and Windsor

 

[freo_leo29]

In the incredibly unlikely world that we get Bolton and Pickett without losing anyone, does Walters just retire before season's start? No way he's getting ahead of any of Switta/Sturt/Freddy + Simpson will (hopefully) improve to good AFL depth and Emmett is always An Option. I don't see a world where Walters plays outside of injuries/the first 3 weeks while Kozzie is suspended. I especially don't see one where he's playing in any potential 2025 grand final side

In this incredibly unlikely scenario, Sonny would get the first 3 rounds of next year

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I just don't see how Dees trade Kozi though, too young to let him go under contract

It would definitely require Pickett really making it a thing. We can absolutely pay the overs they'd need to justify it though. Even more so if they value Murphy or Simpson

Had their first baby in April.

Problem is Rivers has had rumours for about a year now too

Kozi is young enough that he is there in 7 years

 

[Lach72]

Simpson would hurt…he can be a really good winger I think

Shai Bolton was brushed off initially too.

 

[AstonSouffle]

Walters as a coach would be very good I reckon.

Player RTB said he saw as a future coach when he was asked the hypothetical question

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Yeah, it would, seems a ripper thats fully invested in the club as well but if it's needed to get it over the line...
