I don't want Bolton and Kossie

I'd rather go to the draft and chance it on some 18 year old lads who may not be able to make the step up to AFL

Agreed. There’s a small chance our first pick might turn into the next Bolton or Kossie

LMAO! You win the day, sir.

Is reddit our prominent other board? Dockerland isn't really a thing anymore is it?

Whenever I explore other digital media forum realms for Fremantle I find myself more gratuitous to have found BigFooty.

There is no Facebook or Instagram page where people read actual Dockers analysis or posts beyond 50 characters and provide reasonable feedback or observations. Reddit isn't terrible, but the rating system is like watching a US Presidential squiggle, it's pure identity politics.

Only on BigFooty Freo have I ever seen essay post observations (ie more than 1000 words) that could actually receive the highest number of likes in a thread, with multiple responses.

Like, there's a high number of people who actually read in-depth, think about it and respond.

Most posters who join and use every second word with CAPITALS like they're on FACEBOOK tend to bugger off quickly when they're not getting 100 trash likes to their post.

I reckon our heyday was 2013-2018 in terms of content quality but it's still very decent.

This place is a true community and I reckon staved off poorer mental health for a few.

The only thing missing is the regular BF catch-ups at the 'Fire'n'Ice' in Subi before home games and that delightful Yank Gil Griffin popping over to a degree of fanfare.

Surely Switta is in play here. With this quality coming in he’s not best 22 anyway.

Shhh.

Russia, if you are listening...Switta is best 22 in any team and easily worth a TOP 10 PICK. Probably TWO TOP TEN PICKS.

My understanding is that next season we would need AFL approval to trade a future first round pick.

Next year is a very long way away.

The article below clearly states that the 2015-2018 drafts are the relevant years for the 2019 trade period. Ergo, for the 2025 trade period, the relevant drafts are 2021-2024. We took Amiss and Erasmus in 2021.

We could be in the same situation in 2025 as Melbourne and Hawthorn were in 2019 with 2 picks from the 1st year of the relevant window and no other picks, and the articles says:
"They can do as they wish with their first-round pick in the 2019 NAB AFL Trade Period, including offloading a future one, because they have used at least two in the preceding four-year period."

It seems pretty clear to me that we can trade all our 2024 and 2025 firsts this year, then trade our 2026 first next year. The question is if we will be allowed to also trade the 2027 first, as the multi-year trading has yet to be brought in and they might need some further rules around it.

Or even, ten top two picks!

In the scenario we manage to recruit Pickett and Bolton I'm certain Switkowski still finds himself in the 22 should he not be traded.

We played tonnes of games this season with 8 forwards if I recall correctly.

Better balance is Sturt out to be honest. Bolton, Amiss, Pickett and Treacy is enough fire power, we'd be better off with more pressure from Switta

Im pretty sure the plan will be to play Jackson more midfield next year. He dominated in that role when playing it in 2025 and if Fyfe isnt in the team we need his size rotating there in my opinion. I also think Fredd will play some wing and Bolton some onball meaning we'll play an extra forward if we get Picket and Bolton compared to 2024 is my prediction.

Moving Freddy to wing is something I thought to, would be a real weapon. I still struggle to believe we can fit these contracts in and not lose someone good. Man these finals cant piss off fast enough

[pK75]

I am not pushing Switta out the door, and if he did request a trade, I’m pretty sure the club with the same “required player” line they used with Lobb, right up until both Pickett and Bolton are brought in, then like Lobb we’d be open to entertain offers. If Melbourne or Tigers happened to be interested in him, then that could also make him available.
The more I think about, if Melbourne wanted to try and go with a “rebuild while still contending” if they lose Pickett and Trac, the may well be interested in both Switta and Brodie.
Pickett - 10, Switta, Brodie
Petracca - 11, Cerra, something else.
Hedges their bets, brining in 2x 1st round picks in an even draft, while also replacing the players they are losing.

Aww the blue stripes really bring out his eyes.

There's only so many forward 50 entries to go around and Bolton, Pickett, Treacy and Amiss are literally all 40 goal a year forwards. You wouldnt need more firepower, you need it locked in there so they can all get to work. Switta over Sturt is better balance in a vacuum. He's the one that misses out unless you can move Freddy to a wing

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Switta is a very very good player and is easily worth a top 10 pick. He does a lot of off the ball work which you don't see on TV. Even if you are at the ground you might not understand his game unless you know the game at a holistic level.

 

[estibador]

Take 2 in the hand over the one in the bush that you might never get anyway.

The motto of my sex life!

What in the **** did I just read. In no shape or form are North giving a first round pick for him. What the actual ****...

The way he moves through traffic is a sight to behold. Turning circle of a dodgem car.

Would the points from trading Erasmus to the Eagles and Brodie to Melbourne help with the Trifecta?
What are they worth individually

Raz - 25- 30 ?
Brodie - 30- 40 ?

I can’t see the point in keeping those 2 particularly if one or more of SB , KP or LB are in the team

Then there are the Switta rumours , he may well do a last minute Schultz and be the piece of this puzzle that unlocks the whole deal

Fascinating trade period
I can’t stop watching

It says 'a late round pick'? .. that could be anything. Late fourth round.

Sturt would be more enticing to Melbourne too I would’ve thought?

Brodie becomes a salary dump, literally worth nothing and arguably you have to pay to take him. Ras wouldnt be on that much and I think you'd be lucky to get that. Switta makes the most sense if any rumours are true
