IF Pickett is still a chance it’s gone down like this:

Pickett - Yo, I’m a bit homesick. Keen on Freo.

Management to Freo - Any interest in Kosi Pickett

Freo management - Do we fold in 4th quarters? Of course we’re interested.
The only correct response here is actually "By Odin's Raven, I will move the Heavens and Earth to have you playing footy with Bolton, Dogga and Walker in round 4 next year if you tell Melbourne your out. I love you Kozzie and literally want your babies (as father / sons / daughters)"

What if Chad is a legit shot this year?

I mean why not?

Freo could easily say to Pickett ‘look. We have Bolton and a couple of others that we’re confident on. Out of respect we have to pass this year BUT if something falls over we’d love to have you at our club’

That’s easier to believe then us just not going all in on Pickett the second he gave us a sniff.
 
Stringer? Then at least we should have two wins against the Bombers next year as he wont be able to torch us again.
Bold of you to think we’d get them twice.

Though we did lose, so maybe they think that will be a gift.

I'm having a bit of fun with all this, but I'd seriously need Warner with a contract signed and Sydney having agreed to discuss a trade this year to not make Pickett basically priority number 1.5 (Bolton did ask for the trade first). I just think he's too perfect for what we need and too perfect a fit next to Bolton

I’m telling you. There’s a big name coming.

Think about it.

Freo have said they’re going to be aggressive. Players themselves have spoken about bringing in experience.

We had Pickett ask the question.

You think this ends with Bolton, maybe Baker and taking a pick or 2 inside 30 to the draft.

When it drops, it’s going to be biblical.

I’m not discounting a monster plus crack at Warner this year. That’s the obvious name.

I still think Pickett wants to come here, but it might not be an absolute must for him right now. And Melbourne know this and will refuse to trade him at this point. There might still be a very small chance the situation changes.

Demons are going to be the next WC/Richmond, but at the worst possible time with Tassie coming in. They are in for a world of pain. I reckon their WA players are going to be leaving in droves with WC presumably starting to climb back up, and Freo hopefully going strong. Pickett would be wise to do it now. But if not, then I'd be staying in his ear and look to bring him in end of 2027 as a RFA. Would still only be 26 and a perfect age with Brayshaw, Serong, Young, Jackson, etc.

Have said for a while Rivers should also be a long term target. Also a RFA end of 2027. Replace Ryan who will be 31 and UFA end of 2027.
 
If there's something big cooking, maybe its the fabled "non-WA" target that's dying to join? Wallsy does owe us one.
You know how players have monster games against teams they’re trying to impress?

What’s a big name that tore us a new one in one of our only shellacking for the season? 🤔🤔

Non-wa
Big name.

It just makes sense!

But it makes sense right? You can’t just waltz in a week or so ago and jump the queue, when the front of the queue is Warner.

I’ll hold fire, but if all we get is Bolton, maybe Baker and some around the fringes moves we have simply stuffed it big time.

Pickett is a gun.

There HAS to be an additional gun to Bolton.

I'll be here for you when Winter arrives

Honestly, I’m pretty pumped if all we land is Bolton and still have some picks. Bolton certainly adds immediate value to our team.

I really like Baker too. Many here seem to be a bit meh on him. He’d be extremely handy.

I don’t think we can ‘lose’ in the upcoming draft period.

But I do genuinely think there’s more at play and BIG.
 
Hearing you guys have thrown big money at Quinton Narkle. Won’t be revealed until Port are out of finals though.

Just a smokescreen for Josh Sinn
