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

[Snuffaluphagus]

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

Oh OK, just arguing two sides of the same coin really, I took it as "no chance"

Sorry for the misunderstanding

 

[Tundrawolf]

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 chance

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 this actually happens I think teams and supporters will be absolutely TERRIFIED to play us next year.

God I hope it happens

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 through

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

lol. Pickett is worth more than Petracca given the age range. Entertain me, what would you offer to pry a 23 year old out of his contract?

Why are you angry at Freo supporters? Its Picket that's said he wants to come to Freo. What do you think is a fair trade? We'd offer a top ten pick and our first rounder. Im pretty sure you have a gun father son prospect in 2025 dont you?

If this happens would this put more pressure on JL? as surely this would easily be the best Freo list ever assembled... Multiple premierships would be possible

It surely makes it top 4 or bust short of an unthinkable ...... crisis I don't want to actually spell for fear of repercussions

 

[mayne iac]

pretty sure there is an offer in place from us

 

[mayne iac]

It's funny how all of this works, most of it happens months, years before the actual trade happens

 

[Midnite65]

Genuinely 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.

I think we went cold on Logan when Treacy emerged. Now Picket and Bolton are a different story, elite and offer us something we are crying out for.

No one's denying they're elite. I'm denying that we have put the planning in or will want to spend the capital required to prise him out of Melbourne who will fight hard to keep him (and that's even if he genuinely does want out, it seems he floats that nigh on every off season and still stays).
Bolton is totally different, Richmond will be realistic to deal with and we've been doing the groundwork for months. I'll definitely be shocked if he isn't with us next year

 

[Pussinbootz]

There is not a single person here doing that but your trade ideas are always ridiculous and not based in reality.

And that’s why we love him

Do you really think this has just happened??
This has been happening for the last year or so, if you don't agree you know absolutely zero about trading.

I'm not angry at Freo fans..? he hasn't officially said that he wants to come to Freo.

Nah, we have Kalani White but given the exodus of Petracca and maybe Pickett as well as ANB and losing Brayshaw, having Mac Andrew stolen from us and losing Jackson there's more likely chance that he'll nominate Gold Coast as his destination as he's in their academy. Then again, there are mixed reports on him. but there's been nothing to suggest that he's going to be a first round sort of prospect.

Kozzie will be the same, give it a few more days and the smoke will be fire.

Unlike the Logan thing this is happening during exit interviews, not preseason speculation

 

[FreoRicci]

I honestly think Aish would be better than JOM in his role.

He was in that role, and doing a great job. In 2022 and 2023.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Well obviously the resident trading genius has spoken and all further discussion is moot. When you get that job as head recruiter at an AFL club and aren't allowed to post here anymore, will you miss bigfooty?

 

[FreoRicci]

Erasmus is the one that could unlock things IMO

If we can somehow get a 2nd for him then we can bundle that with 27 and our 4th rounder to get a pick off teams who need points (GC, Brissy?)


Erasmus would be surplus to needs, (I also think we would lose Johnson in a couple years too in this scenario, cap space will get tight in a few years)


I know people want Ras in Fyfes role but a mixture of Bolton/Johnson/Noddy and Pickett in a pinch can easily cover Fyfes inside minutes. There simply won't be enough midfield time to go around.

Not with Brodie leaving, Fyfe retiring and JOM having two years.
He should get the chance to step up next year and take JOM’s spot. Simple

 

[Superkoops]

no it's not. Petracca ins 29. Pickett is 23. Pickett is a bigger loss. Pickett is a former pick 9, taken in the same draft as Jackson. He's kicked more goals than Cyril at the same age and applies defensive pressure. His trade value is similar to Luke Jackson.

Pickett was pick 12 in the 2019 National Draft.

Lindsay is a bloke

I’m seriously missing something here.

Lindsay is a bloke. I taught his children.

Someone said ‘Auntie Pickett’

I was just correcting them.

Why the laughs?

 

[oldgoat]

Do we generally miss out on trade targets when they're publicised this much?

"This much" , and times 2, doesn't happen all that often.
We may be watching history in the making here....
I am quite a little bit excited.
Popped collars, cap feathers, gold kudos etc will be all over...
Is Belly involved these days?

 

[Dayts]

I honestly think Aish would be better than JOM in his role.

Aish doesn’t kick those 2 goals in the derby shifting the momentum and we get rolled by those mutts twice in the same season.
