Agreed and yet I rate him higher than Schultz.
Oh, for another Collingwood

Exactly. He’s worth at least the same.

I’d take a late first and swap a r4 for a r3 back their way.

Would Switta and Baker have about the same trade value as each other this year?

Guys…come on. Seriously

I believe so given their very similar output statistically and that Switta is contracted and Baker is not, but that should be open to negotiation because a leader of our club with two years on contract is quite a big rating within the walls.

It’s a second round. Maybe a late one at that. He’s 28 and pressures. Moves through the midfield ok, but not often. Not particularly damaging. Who’s paying more for that?

Elite for score launches. Above average for score involvements and assists.
Elite for tackles, above average for clearances. Elite for frees for.

Most of those are skewed because he’s a small forward playing midfield, but still.

We should absolutely rate him as a late first. Makes it better value when he gets included in one of the other trades as a goody

I don’t reckon they are too far off. I agree though Baker has higher rating - although Switta is out of contract.
Baker = 19-24 range (similar to Jordan Clark for comparison)
Switta (contracted) = 24-29 range (similar to Liam Henry for comparison)

Switta > 28 (Essendon)
27,28 > 14/15 (Brisbane) - Brisbane needs points for Ashcroft that is over 300 extra points if we’re talking 15.

Port is currently 17 - let’s hope that drops to 16.

Imagine if we had
9,10,15,16

9,16 > Bolton and some change for Freo
10,15 > Picket and some change for Freo

 

[Ge3ks]

I think you mean in contract

 

[Jezzitizle]

Where are these Switta rumours coming from? Not heard anything in the media, would have thought it would be out by now?

Age is probably a big thing here. Switta is older than Schultz and we’re one year later.

I don’t think that he’s leaving anyway tbh but let’s see. Think a player probably has to leave to get Kozzie and Bolton in.

 

[King Huskii]

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.

 

[greatgatsby]

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
