Hypothetical - assume we get Bolton for 9 & 16. Forget what other extras may come our way.

We have 10 and 27.

Also, assume we have no other players linked to us etc.

Do we give up 10 for North’s F1? Straight up exchange.

Means we hit the draft at 27.

Only bring in Bolton, but have 2 F1s for 2025.

Ours and North’s which will highly likely be inside top 6.
In principle I like taking puts on future picks mainly with late first round picks.

Pick 10 in this deep draft is a better pick than a normal pick 10.
 
If Bolton is all we're getting this year then absolutely take 10 to the draft. If we're getting Warner next year when he's out of contract then we can get him with whatever we already have. Just like how we got Jackson with a weak hand. If we get North's pick then it's going straight to Sydney for Chad.

Everyone's raving about this draft so I'd like to keep a good pick. Don't want a repeat of 2018 where we wasted picks on Lobb and Hogan when we could've had Rozee or King.

Think pick 10 drafted in 2024 is probably more suited to a potential premiership push than pick 6 drafted in 2025 tbh.

If you could guarantee that the 2025 pick is top three though I think I’d be very very tempted. No draft is so strong that pick three is likely to be better than pick ten the next year. If anything this year’s draft is actually lacking genuine star power at the top btw so next year pick three could even be better than pick one is this year.

I’d prefer to use 10 TBH in the draft.

If we end up with two R1 picks next year it will just make the Warner price even higher.
All we need is one first rounder next year to get into the Warner race
 
Wouldn’t even be against using pick 27 and whatever else is left over from the Bolton trade to get ourselves a second first rounder if possible tbh. Yes I’m aware a second first rounder is likely to be just after what Port’s pick is if it happens.

I’d still use three or four picks but St Kilda’s fourth rounder will do if we’re taking a third or fourth selection. After that I’d consider calling it a day.
 
Freo get Bolton pick 6
Freo give 9, 10 17

North give pick 2
North receive houston pick 10

Port receive luko pick 9
Port give Houston second rounder

Gold Coast give pick 6 luko
Gold Coast receive Rioli second rounder

Richmond give Bolton Rioli
Richmond receive pick 2 17

Could see this is how it plays out seems pretty fair obviously there would be later picks thrown around to even it all up a bit

Not miles off.
I think Houston picking North will present us with opportunities.
 
Here’s the play by play.

Houston requests Melbourne. Stalemate. Demons aren’t using pick 5.

Bolton to Freo. We give up 9&16. We get some inconsequential stuff back.

Pickett becomes the key to unlock Houston.

We use 10 and a mass swapping of picks between the 3 clubs.

We get Bolton and Pickett. Keep our F1.

With 3 days left in the trade period, Warner sounds out Freo. Freo collectively lose their minds as we’ve given all draft capital away.

We place one Bailey Banfield on the table and allow a bidding war to ensue. North pay overs for Banfield and we have the assets to bring in Warner.

We land Bolton, Pickett and Warner.

We finish 2025 in 7th and eliminated to Carton away.

We all know this is 84% chance accurate.
Cobbler cobbling, it seems

From the hard ball gets podcast - who says no?

Collingwood trade Jordan Degoey to Fremantle in exchange for Andrew Brayshaw
It's a **** no from me.

Gold Coast getting reamed.
 
Warner aside I can’t see Brisbane winning on Saturday. Think it will be a blowout

Brisbane get it done. Swans have had it too easy. I'm reminded of that famous footy proverb: "Hard games create strong players; strong players create success; success creates weak players; weak players create hard games."

De Goey is 28.
Brayshaw is 24, about to be 150+ gamer, lifetime member of the club.
No brainer. He’s a legend of Fremantle already.
 
Need to secure Schofield to replace Boyd once WCE announce their new coach.

Has strong ties with Baker and package with Bolton.

Bolton and Baker to slot straight into best 22 at half forward. Imo both are upgrades of Emmett, Banfield, Sturt and Walters (sadly).

I’d agree on Baker being better than Emmett, Banfield and Walters not sure he gives us more goals than Sturt though.
If anything getting Baker allows us to entertain a Switta trade if he really does want to head back to vic.
