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

So Theo or Tom Morris. Have we figured out who’s right yet?

The one that said Freo and I cannot back that up...

So Theo or Tom Morris. Have we figured out who’s right yet?

Morris just said West Coast were front runners. Theo actually said a nominated club.

But mostly, I am just hearing what I want to hear.

Nah, Morris was spitballing, Theo outright said "Freo knows he wants them"

Morris basically confirmed with Melbourne he'd want to go to WA. Seems Theo at minimum confirmed with Freo he wants Freo

 

[DragoDelph]

So Theo or Tom Morris. Have we figured out who’s right yet?

I truly believe it's like this:

Mouthpiece Morris gets a call from his contact at the Dees: "Tom, all this Kozzie stuff, he's not going anywhere. But if he was, probably WA. We'd love for West Coast to come to the table."

Theo goes and speaks to family in SA, and gets the real info.

 

[nurries]

Morris was definately based on Melbournes wish and the fact WC have pick 3

 

[go_the_dockers]

Who gets the lockdown small defender and who gets to play on the rebounding small without a defensive bone in their body? Bolton or Pickett

And who gets Sturt.

He will be deadly if he gets 4 shots on goal a game.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I cannot stress enough how badly the club needs to make this happen. Bolton AND Pickett in purple in 2025 and we are suddenly premiership contenders.

I don’t want to see anyone compare this to the Hogan and Lobb trade because it’s not even remotely similar. We weren’t in a position to do the trade back then, we were right at the start of our rebuild, and through a set of uniquely unfortunate circumstances it ended up backfiring.

This is different. We are already stacked with young talent and it’s not like Bolton (25) and Pickett (23) are dinosaurs. Anyone who’d rather hit the draft then make a big play for these two, especially when there are no real standouts in said draft that can come in and have an immediate impact, has rocks for brains.

Opportunities like this, especially for our club, do not come around often. When they do you have to grab them with both hands. Two elite small forwards who can both go into the midfield when needed. Bolton brings the X factor, Pickett brings the intensity. Sign me the **** up.

Agree.

Getting Pickett makes the Bolton trade better. Means he can play higher up the ground.

 

[Dayts]

Morris was definately based on Melbournes wish and the fact WC have pick 3

I can’t see who would want to split that pick 3 for given the depth of the draft and no clear top 3. Or 5. Imo Jagga goes 1.
Also Dees aren’t gonna take 12 if wc offer that when we can table 10.

Go suck some hairy arseh*le toast

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Kozzie isn't going to leave Melbourne which is a schemozzle and join the Eagles who are considering Bluey as a coach.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Best case is peracca leaves, and Melbourne go into full rebuild mode.

 

[freo1997]

Getting these sort of vibes. Bolton and Pickett seeing each other Cockburn HQ.

[dominguez]

imagine eventually adding Warner to that lot, WOW

I'm only guessing, but maybe we're into Pickett because we know Warner isn't coming?

Not sure we have the picks to satisfy all 3 trades. If we get Pickett and Bolton for our 3 x first rounders and St Kilda's 2nd rounder most of us would take that but does pick 18 and a future first get the deal done for Warner next year?

 

[Purpletown]

Speaking of Treacy, he was nearly out the door last year.

Had a Walters style talking to (same as Lobb, Logue etc.) and it didn't go down too well to begin with.

His off-season and on-season would indicate the message got through.

If Darcy is in the same boat, and the message isn't getting through, shrugs

Who did the talking to Treacy? We need that person or persons to have another go at Darcy and also have a word to Cox.

 

[Alfonz]

Just catching up with this Kosi chat, on a scale of 1-10 being highly unlkely to certainty, it sounds about a 4 at best to me

i1. He's pulled this stunt before in prior off seasons and is a known flip-flopper
2. Too hgh a price to pay draft wise, probably higher than Bolton knowing how hard Melbourne will fight (very) versus how hard Richmond will fight (not as much)

He'd be brilliant but can't see it happening really

There's a major difference this time ... Melbourne are rooted. Trac will be gone. Oliver cooked. Brayshaw gone. Neale-Bullen (underrated) gone. Viney almost left. Gawn and May older.

And has since become a father too

 

[andreww90]

Well if this turns out to happen and we land both Bolton and Pickett i think our list management team might deserve a massive pat on the back.

I’m just saying if Logue, Acres, Schultz and others i might be forgetting got the money and length of contracts they all wanted we wouldn’t be in the position to even consider these two A grade talents.

 

[oldgoat]

Hey Siri, what's the opposite of exodus?

Tsunami!

 

[dominguez]

wonder how much Raz & Switta come into conversation with this.

What would you expect to get for Erasmus? Pick 30-35? Helps a little bit but not a lot to get other deals done.

The Dees are in a world of pain at the moment. As you say, all those are either out the door or very disgruntled.And they are only the ones that we hear of.
And I read this morning that their President, I think it was has said she has not even spoken to Petracca since the injury.
The club has been in melt down for a few years, the allegations re their coach.
Remember also that Melbourne were given vast amounts of assistance to help them build. Putting in someone appointed to lead them out of the trouble. Appointed Roos to coach them. All from the AFL.
They were badly in trouble if you remember when the amalgamation of them and the Hawks was promoted. Almost tore two clubs apart.
They are like a club walking to the gallows. And even then they will be saved by the AFL.

 

[MadMundy]

Lachie Schultz will be a Freo lad deep down always, helped us out massively here.

Love ya Shoota.

 

[Taylor]

We can get all Brayshaw, Bolton, Pickett and Warner signed over the next two years. We just need to overpay for Bolton so Richmond pay him for us.

 

[dominguez]

And who gets Sturt.

He will be deadly if he gets 4 shots on goal a game.

Sturt becomes depth? Jackson, Treacy, Amiss, Freddy, Switta, Bolton and Pickett would be the 7 forwards.

 

[Midnite65]

Sturt becomes depth? Jackson, Treacy, Amiss, Freddy, Switta, Bolton and Pickett would be the 7 forwards.

Freddy needs to be spoken to the way that Treacy was last year as he has so much potential.

 

[Hamann188]

Sturt becomes depth? Jackson, Treacy, Amiss, Freddy, Switta, Bolton and Pickett would be the 7 forwards.
