Man I’ll be so depressed if he doesn’t end up here next year. I’ve already convinced myself it’s a guarantee

I'm trying to wheel back my expectations on Kossie because the more I read/hear the more I think it won't happen.

Tom Morris has said this happens with kozzie most years.

All the reports have been ‘if’ he requested a trade.

Nothing concrete

 

[Megalon]

I agree but I think we have plenty of options for the size required if we give more time on ball to Johnson/Erasmus after another preseason, actually play Jackson in the midfield, and hopefully with new forward additions Banfield is more of a wingman/tagger.

Agreed, Johnson/Erasmus will be right after a couple more preseasons, but Jackson in the midfield from round 1 next year definitely makes sense. He can rest up forward, and Voss is ok as a third tall, just needs to work on his goal kicking (but we could say that about most of our forwards at times this year).

Morris said (paraphrasing) "what I've heard in the last 24 hours leads me to think he'll be staying".

It is big Melbourne Demons nuffie Tom Morris saying this though so I’m sure a part of him is subconsciously manifesting that Pickett stays.

Still it does sound like pickett may be pretty flaky and unreliable with his trade requests. It’s a pity they didn’t ask Morris about Rhinos claim that Picketts representatives contacted Freo on Monday regarding a trade.

 

[go_the_dockers]

19:45 onwards. Pretty good honesty from Morris here r.e. Bolton/Kozzie trades

What did Bolton do to not endear himself to Richmond?

 

[freo1997]

Yeah it appears this isn’t the first “light” trade request from Pickett. Does it most years apparently and he only asked for it on Monday. Doubtful on it the more I read about it. Dees will convince him to stay before the end of the weekend.

 

[freo1997]

Think his body language onfield alone shows he wants out. Richmond won’t hold Bolton. Reckon we could get him with a 1st & 2nd rounder.

Yep, we need the Dees to ramp up the basketcaseness.

The only people I want to see Banfield tagging next year are the likes of Hamish Brayshaw and Bailey Rogers.
As a permanent Peel player.

This is the first time he’s doing it as a father though. Hopefully that gets it over the line this time.

 

[freo1997]

Yep, we need the Dees to ramp up the basketcaseness.

Honestly his indecisiveness that he’s shown over the years has a bit of Mitch Clark about it. Reckon there’s a chance he leaves and not to us. Could be to one of the Adelaide teams or Eagles. Just feel like this one is a bit of a more flakey trade.

 

[freo1997]

Reckon Bolton is happening.

Baker is a 50/50. But his slow destination request could be his undoing getting to Freo.

Pickett is 30/70 coming to Freo for mine. History shows he’s flakey and I do think Eagles particularly could swoop in especially if Baker chooses us. Reckon he just stays at Dees though.

 

[Alfonz]

Easier to convince someone to stay (or leave) with the prospect of success on the horizon. This is a much different situation to previous years.

 

[Rockmelon]

This is the first time he’s doing it as a father though. Hopefully that gets it over the line this time.

Also the first time he’s reached out to a rival club

 

[Ge3ks]

. By trading in Bolton and Pickett our midfield gets some serious pace but we become even smaller in size. In the Giants' game I saw a clip where Green just bowled Johnson over in the contest which is what Fyfe normally does.

In the Giants game (which we lost by 9 points) we were destroyed by their small forward, Brent Daniels, who had 29 disposals, 17 kicks, 12 handballs, 7 marks, 13 tackles and 3 goals. Their other small forward Darcy Jones had 18 disposals and a goal.

Their point of difference and win was thanks to their attacking small forwards.

 

[Alfonz]

Really hope the club doesn’t prioritise Bolton if Pickett was indeed available. Kozzie edges out tbh

Have you considered that Bolton is a large reason Pickett might want to come here? I reckon the two of them would be itching to play alongside each other.

 

[DragoDelph]

This is where you're contradicting yourself. If Switkowski is worth Pick 10, then I'm sorry but Pickett is worth twice as much minimum. Kozzie is only 23. And contracted. He isn't going anywhere unless you prioritise him over Bolton and cough up what he's worth. He's a young, genuine match winner. There's not many of them in the comp

Cant believe I’ve bitten.

We’re pumping switta up, so it looks good when he’s included as the steak knives in a deal.

Worth a pick 17-28

Wonder if their partners are friends, both with young children, we could become a “family” club again.

I think that is his actual range given he’s contracted for two more years and a member our our leadership team (something Dees seem to lacking aside from Gawn) if Trac leaves I’d throw in Brodie as well.
Pickett - 10, Switta (20) and Brodie (40) essentially a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in value and addresses their needs.

[mayne iac]

Of course they will. One has been in the works for months and the other came up this week (going off Rhino’s story). We’re not going to just stop all the work we’ve done on Bolton to get Pickett in.

Either way, we really should be getting both. We have next year to consider if/how we will get Warner in.

I've heard we've had a proposal in front of kosi for some time...

Brodie is worth nothing in picks and depending on what his salary is, he might be worth negative picks.

Adds nothing to a trade as it stands.

 

[Vintage]

Is the talk of switta out because he is surplus, or because we would need the cap space and pick?

Surely it would be JOM and Walters out for Bolton and Kozzi, and there’s still a place for switta? Fyfe will be out too pretty soon - I know Bolton isn’t the same as Fyfe or JOM, but surely the balance still works. I’m not counting banners as he was out of round 24 team.

Because of the rumour of him going and because the players coming in are forwards.
