Yeh but Andrew Mcleod wasn't good enough for our side.

Neesham told me.This week
Everyone said Jackson would drag out it got done pretty early
Just think everything I’ve seen both clubs are on a similar page. They’ll meet in middle somewhere

Bolton is 100% done way before deadline. They have Smith and possibly Barrass for deadline day
They also have Pickett for deadline day
We can’t trade 10 & 11 for Bolton if we don’t have one of them. I say we do what St Kilda did when we were after their top pick for Hill (6 from memory). Trade/split that thing first up, then offer the two best picks we have.
If for no other reason than to see the melts.

If dreams come true and we end up getting Pickett, we will lose a player. Who that will be I have no idea but it will be someone of quality. IMOThey also have Pickett for deadline day
I’m not against this. Would be ballsy, but if you remember Saints came to us with the deal first and we initially refused, they then traded it away.
We could pull the same trick for Bolton. In the end they overpaid for Hill and we got Serong. Or was it Young.

It meets all the criteria to become a trade that lasts until the very last day IMO. Yet so did Jackson.
It’ll get done 100% - that’s all I take from what’s been reported tbh. I don’t read it as it’ll be done early.
Don't think we want to split though, whole point of keeping 11 is to use it (or use for possible Kozzy)
Jackson was first day of week 2
the classic weekend breakthrough, it's what I've been saying
Sure there is. Clubs are going to go hard for Richmond’s picks to try to move players.
I could be wrong but I reckon they just get it done early.
No need to drag it out. As I said both sides seem very similar in there ideas for the trade

Fremantle are confident none of their contracted players will request to leave the club during a trade period where they are tipped to be major players.
The Dockers have been heavily criticised in recent years for losing established players to other clubs as they look to finally break through for a maiden premiership.
Last year they were shocked by a trade request from small forward Lachie Schultz who wanted to head to Collingwood, while Liam Henry (St Kilda) was also traded out and Joel Hamling joined Sydney as a free agent.
This followed a mass exodus of players in 2022, with Blake Acres (Carlton), Griffin Logue, Darcy Tucker (both North Melbourne), Rory Lobb (Western Bulldogs) and Lloyd Meek (Hawthorn) all exiting the club after their finals campaign.
Fremantle list boss David Walls said he didn’t expect any of their players to request trades this year.
“I’d be very surprised if anyone moved. I don’t think there’s anything to any rumour” he told The West.
“All the feedback from the players and the managers are really strong. They believe where we’re going, what we’re doing and are invested in the club.
“All the conversations are super positive, and no one is heading anywhere. I will say this time last year we didn’t know Lachie Schultz was going to request a trade, that came on the first day of trade period. So that was a bit of a shock.
“These things do happen but I’m not expecting any movement or any players to be asking to move in the trade period.”
Instead, Fremantle have become the hunters thanks to the three first-round picks they’ve obtained through shrewd deals in recent years.
Richmond star forward Shai Bolton is expected to cost them two of those picks in a high-profile trade, while they missed out on his Tigers teammate Liam Baker who has decided to head to West Coast.
Delisted Carlton forward Jack Martin was also in their sights, but he’s landed on Geelong where he will head as a free agent.
“A lot of work’s been done. We’re pretty well placed for whichever way it goes,” Walls said.
“Free agency, we won’t be involved in but we’re looking at the trade period. We’ve got the three first-rounders plus pick No.27 (now No.29) and we’re looking at a few different types of players to bring in through trade.
“If it doesn’t go that way, we’re comfortable going to the draft as well and recognise there’s a heap of good players, a lot of depth and we’ll be able to find something in there that’ll work well for us.”
Fremantle will also wait until the end of the trade period to decide on the future of uncontracted trio Tom Emmett, Odin Jones and Max Knobel.

So still looks like someone could be on the move. Can't wait to find out who!

My first response was I'm not sure if it's reassuring, or guarantees someone makes a request
Probably the latter, but hopefully nothing major.

I wouldnt blame Brodie if he requested a trade back home. Poor bugger deserves more time than what he's been given.
Club should encouraging Will Brodie to have a look around tbh.
Don’t see the point of delisting Max Knobel or Odin Jones as we probably want a developing ruck and developing forward on our list but probably don’t want to use a decent draft selection on them. Much better just to give what we already have another look in 2025 imo.

I don't think he has any takers.

Man, In his first season with us he was going great guns, I don't understand why he was cut from the regular side?
To be honest I don't follow much WAFL but did he get bad ? or is he just unlucky?
