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

[freofc1994]

Gutless s**tstain of a club

Shrunk the odds of us even breaking even on this trade to about 10/1

We ain’t never getting anywhere because somehow stupidity is perpetual for Freo

Stick ur membership up your ass I don’t give a **** how many bullshit layers you put up to make it hard to opt out

How this trade and Jackson previously go down in history depends on if we make or win a GF in the next 2-3 years.

Clearly the club is making bold moves, selling the future to buy the present etc, to improve our chances in what they see as the window to get our first flag.

Constantly drafting young talent isnt how clubs win flags, need bold moves like this, all top clubs do it, hope we know what we are doing.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Perfectly reasonable to mine, and means we’ve landed the best player available for us this year that will make a massive impact the next few years

 

[Hamann188]

Our 2nd last year our deal 2nd this year. Schultz + our 1st this year for Bolton, 14,F3

Trade radio just said Richmond sent paying anything

Yeah I hreard that too. Hoping that's fake news.

 

[Wallsy78]

It's overs but you pay overs for a contracted gun, and the goal is to win a flag. We have an absolute weapon, top rated forward in the league in both 2022 and 2023 when the team was half decent. Our single biggest list need. Along with still holding picks 14 and 30 in a deep draft. F3 for Whan points. Not to mention Bolton is essentially the biggest Kozzy recruitment piece for 2025. If Chad chooses WC we are okay

 

[arsesmart]

Pick 18 had nothing to do with Schultz. And the luck on the Schultz trade doesn’t really change anything - Pick 11 is Pick 11 no matter how it got to the club.

Having said all that I fail to see how this trade is that much worse than Picks 10 and 18 was.

Pick 37 next year will be handy for us if our NGA guys are much good and/or if we trade our first rounder for a gun player.

There's literal and figurative, quibbling between the two can be fun I guess. But yes it isn't huge difference but trades-value is best defined in the language of hindsight.

 

[malpaso]

Woah a 3 pick slide, let’s not over react now

Yeah I'm just saying I'd have fought for the F2 but I guess we just need points for NGA next year.

I also don't think we are selling the future, our current squad is the future. We couldn't be in a better spot list wise to make this trade.

 

[mattis117]

If we still get the player we want at 14 then the 3 pick downgrade is meaningless. Let's hope the gamble pays off and the player we want is still there.

 

[Pommie Docker]

Caved again, pathetic.

Walls great drafter terrible at trades

 

[Tbonefreo]

We've basically turned Schultz into Bolton and a 3 picks backslide.

When you say it like that....

 

[Fat Nyfe]

People are forgetting the goal is to win a flag, not collect picks and draft points forever.

 

[Alfonz]

Stoked with the trade. I consider Bolton a top 10 offensive threat in the whole competition. The perfect player for our side. They wanted 10+11, we wanted 10+18, and 10+14 is in the middle. We even got a F3 from the probable spooners that we can use towards NGA points.

I am not fussed if it means missing out on Allan/Berry. Not sure Allan is the right fit for our side, and I am not as convinced about Berry as others. I prefer Hannaford with his more explosive/aggressive nature and I think he will be there. If we went early on Davis, I would be happy with that as well.

 

[Demons09]

It's funny that this is the only trade in history that seemingly guarantees a flag...

What happens if he blows his knee pre-season? What if he catches the back home bug and hardly cares anymore?

We have paid too much for Bolton.

A lot of ifs there, what if we win a flag next year.

 

[rgauci]

How do you guys feel about the Bolton deal?

10,11,18 for

Bolton,14 and future 3rd

We paid overs, but not crazy overs.

 

[Farrand]

Well, now that shitshow is done. What's next? Didn't Garlick say we were going to be aggressive this trade period? Or has one trade literally encompassed 8 days?

 

[summerthebat]

I have no problem with this trade for a player with a current extensive contract.

I am going to get extremely agitated however, when this will be inevitably referred to as us parting with three first rounders without mentioning what came back.

10, 11 & 18

for

Bolton, 14 & 37

Looks totally OK to me.

 

[Cleansweep17]

We paid overs, but not crazy overs.

Yeah it’s in between what we both wanted.

You’ll say it’s worth it when you make a prelim the year anyway. Good luck for season 2025! I’ll be going for you ️

That’s the key isn’t .

I just hope the same membership who’s celebrating will be ready for garlick and jlo to marched off when we don’t make top4 next year .

Or do we just continue to make excuses and whilst those that run the club look to cover their arses

I can already here Kane Cornes "They gave up THREE first rounders for him" ringing in my ears after his first quiet game in 2025

edit: for the people liking this comment who hate the trade, I am taking the piss.

I agree. Literally our single biggest need & we have enough mids cooling their heels in the WAFL.

The time is now & there probably isn’t a better player in the league to complement what we already have.

" Bolton is essentially the biggest Kozzy recruitment piece for 2025."

this is what's making it grow on me.

have always been pro-Bolton, just didn't want to pay too much. if it helps with the mid- longer- term stuff, then it becomes much easier to live with.

roll on preseason...

Finally another Hannaford fan! He had a great state combine just recently too. 2.954s 20m sprint, 7.922s in the aglility test, 86cm running vertical jump. Great athlete. Berry posted 3.026s and 8.479s respectfully in the preseason. I like both but have Hannaford ahead

 

[Dockernut]

So we ended up paying what we offered, plus a minor pick downgrade and received an F3. I’m ok with it. Shai is a gun. Immediately makes our forward line significantly more dangerous.
