If Baker proved his allegiance’s were with us quicker and not be torn for the last few months we’d honestly prioritise him.So is Baker no longer on the radar? He has more experience across all patches of the ground.
Is Warner out in favour of the Bolton/Pickett combo?
You’re welcomeThe guy who invited Dan so he can tell us Pickett is worth 50 million picks needs a ban
Lachie Neale a couple years backDo we generally miss out on trade targets when they're publicised this much?
No, but it is a new world with regards to moving in contract. I would consider Bolton close to a lock and Pickett increasingly likely. I think if we don't get Pickett then get ready for Warner in 2026Do we generally miss out on trade targets when they're publicised this much?
Mitch Clark is the big one. We posted an article on FremantleFC from memory declaring that the deal was almost done or something. Then Dees swooped in.Do we generally miss out on trade targets when they're publicised this much?

Heath Black tried to get back to Freo a year before he did. That fell apart.
Then Sharp is the most recent one which GC screwed up.
I think he was just bumping up his contract and to get the captaincy. Imo.Lachie Neale a couple years back
That news was all over here a couple weeks before Rhino broke it. Was basically an open secret. That one was genuinely Brisbane going into damage control mode, and I honestly think Neale felt guilty that he completely blindsided them and felt compelled to stay.Fair, think that media coverage was a bit trigger happy though. This seems more realistic
Funny that I think it was Rhino that broke that news too...
To be fair, for most us it's hardly a discussion, more just name your price. I feel for you guys to be honest
Genuinely based on what?Nah, jump on board the hype train, genuinely seems like Pickett is a real chance
Nah it was as genuine as it gets tbf. Was still with the uncertainty of COVID, new baby, all family in WA and none in QLD. Pretty perfect excuse to want a trade back home. I think he did genuinely want to get back.I think he was just bumping up his contract and to get the captaincy. Imo.

And you kinds have to know your reporters. Cleary broke at first, that's a good start. Morris followed up and he's Melbourne's mouthpiece. Anything he says about them is basically coming from within the club. Theo is the Daniels of SA so that was Port basically telling him, yeah, not us and then Daniels is essentially repeating what Freo want him to say.Fair, think that media coverage was a bit trigger happy though.

Yeah, was gonna say, think when the club allow trade rumours to circulate this heavily (added with the fact they said they'd be aggressive) there's a strong chance 2 of the 3 get done

All these tweets are from clubs being very careful not to specifically say "he's a requested trade" in the same way Bolton was tiptoed around for months. But he's requested a trade, if like Bolton, it becomes an "official request" then the trade is all but agreed to.
Honestly, trade period is pretty much all for show when it comes to these kinds of trades. Most of the work is done already and they are just haggling about trash.
If Logan was reported as asking about a trade this close to trade period then I'd be as confident with him as I am with Pickett. I'm not saying Pickett is a lock but there's clearly a lot happening there. No reason to think it's not at least a chanceGenuinely based on what?
I spent the last 12 months reading a bunch of bulldust about Logan genuinely happening too, iwhen it also smelt unlikely to me.
I've got no ITK, it just doesn't look like the sort of deal that will happen for several (I would have thought) obvious reasons.. Just like Logan.
I'm excited over Bolton because that will happen barring some **** up.
Damn Snuff reading that aroused me
I didn't say it was no chance. The post I responded to said it was so close to reality they'd now be devastated if it didn't happen. Which it isn'tIf Logan was reported as asking about a trade this close to trade period then I'd be as confident with him as I am with Pickett.

Oh OK, just arguing two sides of the same coin really, I took it as "no chance"I didn't say it wasn;t a chance. The post I responded to said it was so close to reality they'd now be devastated if it didn't happen. Which it isn't
I think the only way Pickett doesn't come to Freo is if we think Warner is still a chance this year, otherwise we should have the best two small forwards running amok in our forward line for a change.If Logan was reported as asking about a trade this close to trade period then I'd be as confident with him as I am with Pickett.

I don't think Warner, who just got AA and like the 8th most coaches votes, is remotely a possibility with Bolton at the same time (and he seems to be all but done). Even with this many picks available. I can't let myself get that confident until I hear the trade has gone throughI think the only way Pickett doesn't come to Freo is if we think Warner is still a chance this year, otherwise we should have the best two small forwards running amok in our forward line for a change.
