I must admit i don't check this thread regularly all week or the news cycle during Trade Week.
List Managers wanting to swing there dicks around and look tough for 5 days.
Maybe the final day when things heat up or a signing is announced my interest peaks.
But overall I find it boring.

What we can’t lose sight of is this trade period is going to be a win win situation for Fremantle.
We either bring in Bolton or go to the draft and bring in 3 first round draft picks that adds depth and talent on a lvl I don’t think this club has seen before.
Yes I absolutely want Bolton but for some reason I don’t have that sinking feeling in my gut if the trade doesn’t go through.
In saying that I do believe Bolton will be a docker in 2025.

I feel like the more we stand off though, the more it opens the door for West Coast.
End of the day Bolton wants to come home, prefers Freo, but has mates and a coach he knows at WC. So it would be better than not coming home at all

Then west coast won't be in a position to add warner after paying bolton and Harley? Which will open door for Warner for us?

As a fan that just wants to see a flag this lifetime it's not a win/win in my eyes. If we can't get the deal done for Bolton and go back to the draft it would be a fail IMO. The main excuse (outside of the injuries) is that we are a young team, well taking 3 first round picks (or two and we move one to 2025) won't help fix that.
It's trade period though, the deal will get done next week and Bolton will be in purple to start 2025.

We should trade our picks with Gold Coast just to **** with Richmond.
You wanted pick 6?
WELL HERE IT IS

The door is firmly locked. Bolton simply doesn't want to go there. And WC won't want to give up their premium draft capital for someone who will be finished by the time they are any good again. Going after Baker is bad enough, but they would have completely lost the plot to get Baker and Bolton.
No need to worry. This is just normal trade negotiations where two sides have to pretend they won't budge, perhaps even under instruction from the AFL to drag it out as long as possible to generate clicks, then on the last day it will get done.

It is isn't up to Shai though, if Richmond can extort 3 and 26 out of West Coast for say Bolton and Baker and prefer that to 10, 18 plus whatever they can convince WC to give for Baker on his own, well more power to them.
WC simply don't have the picks to play ball with the hard line Richmond is currently taking so Fremantle doesn't need to blink.

True. Who do we want more, Warner or Bolton. I want both haha
But I’m thinking Warner is more valuable.

Only if they add 24 as well as 14I’m starting to get worried it’ll be
10,11,18 for
Bolton, 14
That's why Bell and Walls told 11 is precious and 5 clubs chasing it ?

That would put it too far in our favour,
The trade will fall between 10,11 (Richmond want) and 10,18 (we offered).
Bolton, 14, 24 for
10,11,18 is less than 10,18 by itself. No chance that happens.

There's nothing really wrong with that considering our current offer is to end up with Bolton + 11 from our first 3 picks, and it is only a marginal concession to end up with Bolton + 14.
People are really overrating draft picks and underrating Bolton. He is a genuine superstar that has been a top 10 offensive weapon in the competition over 2022-23 and we would be expecting that level again when he is back in a good side.
