I think he was just bumping up his contract and to get the captaincy. Imo.

Nah it was as genuine as it gets tbf. Was still with the uncertainty of COVID, new baby, all family in WA and none in QLD. Pretty perfect excuse to want a trade back home. I think he did genuinely want to get back.

It's a damn shame but comfortable with how it turned out in the end

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Fair, think that media coverage was a bit trigger happy though. This seems more realistic

Funny that I think it was Rhino that broke that news too...



Yeah, was gonna say, think when the club allow trade rumours to circulate this heavily (added with the fact they said they'd be aggressive) there's a strong chance 2 of the 3 get done

And you kinds have to know your reporters. Cleary broke at first, that's a good start. Morris followed up and he's Melbourne's mouthpiece. Anything he says about them is basically coming from within the club. Theo is the Daniels of SA so that was Port basically telling him, yeah, not us and then Daniels is essentially repeating what Freo want him to say.

All these tweets are from clubs being very careful not to specifically say "he's a requested trade" in the same way Bolton was tiptoed around for months. But he's requested a trade, if like Bolton, it becomes an "official request" then the trade is all but agreed to.

Honestly, trade period is pretty much all for show when it comes to these kinds of trades. Most of the work is done already and they are just haggling about trash.

Damn Snuff reading that aroused me

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.

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 we'll need to move on a player or two for more picks and salary room.

Brodie makes sense but unlikely to get much in return. Switta also makes sense as he plays a similar role to Pickett and Bolton, but we need to ensure we get the deals done before pushing him out the door. Erasmus is risky but I also think makes sense as he's currently not best 22.

This is giving me flashbacks of the '06 trade for Tarrant. We thought he would be the missing ingredient to get us our first premiership. We gave up our first pick, Polak and Medhurst in exchange. It wasn't pretty in hindsight however I this is different. They're West Australian for a start.

I didn't say it was no 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

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.

 

[#1JohnHuttonFan]

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?

 

[dxlr8]

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

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.
