Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[Joao]

Bird in the hand etc. Go all out for Pickett if he's willing to ask to leave.

It probably does take us out of the Chad race if we get both, but it's not like we never lose players. Someone half decent asks to leave and maybe we're back in it.

Either that or backload the absolute mother****er out of Chads deal so he's on $3m a year when we are winning spoons after the dynasty.

This exactly. We are not sure what another year brings. If Chad is not going this year, concentrate on what you can get this year and worry about Chad when you have to.

I’m still running with Pickett hasn’t requested a trade because the Warner stuff was holding it up.

If the club is smart they’ll let Warner happen next year and make do with what they have and work to get Bolton and Pickett through the door this year.

Can’t imagine saying no to Pickett just for Chad to stay at Sydney or go WC anyway

The situation with Baker was a factor as well, we'd already promised to bring Baker in if he picked us. As stupid as it sounds going back on your word when you've committed to a player cause another option pops up is bad for future relationships with players, managers and clubs. We were sorta stuck having to prioritise Baker ahead of Pickett.

This meant we couldn't give Pickett the same commitment we'd be able to get a deal done if he requests a trade. Him formally requesting a trade while contacted and putting pressure on the dees to get him to us, only for us to not get it done is an awkward and embarrassing outcome for him. Baker saying no means we might be able to make that promise to Pickett that gives him the confidence to lodge a request officially.

I'm not sure if it happens from here but I'd be almost certain we are chatting to Pickett's management and saying how about it now.

There a few kalary’s we could shred next year if we needed to

Big Max to lead the way

I'm actually going to be angry if Kozzie requests a trade and isnt let go. Every other ****ing club seems to be open to letting good players go if compensated correctly and surely they arent delusional enough to think they can win a flag

If we do gt Kozzie ill be looking silly to my family and friends because I've always said he's a bit of a dirty player but in here I've said we need a bit of that

Realistically we need Kozzie to outwardly state he wants FREO to be his team in 2025. Not W.A, not "keen to see family" but a straight up "I wanna be besties with Jye"
"I wanna get suspended with Josh"
"I wanna look lovingly into Bailey's beautiful eyes and realise that the world isn't such a scary place and know he's always there for me."

That last one might just be me, but you get the gist.

 

[Taylor]

End of 2025:
Brayshaw, Aish, Sharp, McDonald, Worner, Pearce, Erasmus, Delean, Reidy

One year of contract remaining end of 2025:
Sturt, O'Meara, Davies, Brodie, O'Driscoll, Frederick, Murphy, Wagner, Banfield, Johnson

Given he's not even contracted now, I doubt Max is the answer in 2026. I think Cox would be way easier to replace from within in that timeframe.

Long time to go, you wouldn't start pushing blokes out unless you needed to.

which has led to his Freo preference over South Australia to play with Shai

His Freo preference is that his mum and that side of the family all live 2 hours outside of Perth. The Bolton thing was just Shai mentioning that he should come and play footy with him.

has decided

 

[thebillynade]

If we land Kozzy can we make a GoFundMe to pay for Carlton's Lawyers to challenge his suspension?

I don't want to have to wait until round 4 to watch Kozzy and Bolton in a forward 50 together, the edging will kill me.

 

[thebillynade]

Any update on what jack Martin has decided

Nothing official and I can't remember where I saw it so could be wrong but I think it's more likely he goes to the cats than us. Heard or read someone say his preference is to stay in Vic.

Edging is good for your health

I did but didn’t read it out

Probably sick of 50 Freo fans ask9ng every 5 minutes haha

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Sorry guys. I have a direct ITK source regarding Kozzie Pickett but I can't post it because I'm still shaking with rage that Bob Murphy would compare WOKE CHEESEBURGERS with the AFLM grand final. Society is crumbling around us when will it end??

 

[apuchar]

If noticing dumb things is whinging I guess I am

Dumb in your opinion.

Adelaide trade #25 for Neal-Bullen
Freo trade #9 and #16 for Bolton and #29
Freo trade #10 and F1 for Pickett and #25
Melbourne trade #10 and Oliver to Geelong for F1
Geelong trade #10 and #35 to Dogs for Smith

A more likely scenario IMO:

9 + 16 for Bolton + 39.

10 + F1 to for Pickett + 37.


Freo acquire Bolton + Pickett and then draft with 27+37+39 or possibly try to trade them on to GCS for P12 for example (although I'm hoping RFC trade their junk picks to GCS for 12).

Richmond buying that Brisbane pick #18 could be the first trade of the period?

 

[Swiggy]

Tom Morris just said Melbourne won’t trade Pickett.

 

[eastfreo75]

Here's the plan, we trade in Picket Bolton.

We kidnap Chad Warner, we have him play under the name "Corey Wagner" and hope nobody knows the difference.

Reverse Mundy and Maybe

Tom Morris just said Melbourne won’t trade Pickett.

So he is gone?

That's what they all say
