agree with all that you have said, apart from "a bit of mongrel".. Brad has a bit of butter in him..
I just pray we hang onto Langdon, he is showing more than Weller atm.

Langdon's pace and kicking is seriously something. But get the feeling as the coaches know he's leaving hence playing for Peel more then he should.
I wouldn't have thought we're difficult to deal with, we've got a lot of deals done over the years band many of them quickly. Graeme Wright is astute though and may look to tie into a gws deal or add something to up the ante on the deal. I reckon Brad will do well at freo. He's underperformed this year but has real ability and x factor at his best
Tbh why not offer Sheridan and a pick. Very similar in terms of roles plus Tommy is Victorian, has the 'go home factor'. No point having players such as Sheridan/B. Hill/ Suttclife/Croizer given how similar they are.
Don't think they'll want Sheridan. They have a very similiar type in Hartung who they'll think (rightly or wrongly) is better placed to replace Hill.
Just can't see how this trade happens tbh.
Id prefer it to be Crozier than langdon tbh.
Why would you just give him up for what he's probably worth? He's under contract and he has 3 flags (which always magically increases a player's ability). You have the upper hand in any negotiations unless Hill is prepared to do a McCarthy (which is not happening).
Lol shocking trade.
Bloody hell, point well made, but we don't have to make the same mistake. What did Jetta go for?
Callum Sinclair
Whilst I would also love to keep Langdon and do rate him, the current form of Weller could be more to do with needing a rest than ability.
Agree, but he is out of contract.
That's the problem - I think he's worth more to Hawthorn than he is to us.
We're a pretty shit team at the moment, and Hill is exactly the sort of player that would struggle in a shit team. Even at Hawthorn he's only looking OK, and his entire game revolves around teammates making the play with him finishing it off.
People are rightfully saying that we need a KP who can ruck and take contested marks ie Lobb.
But that doesn't mean that picking up a B grade talent that fits into our best 22 isn't a good idea.

He'd be worth something around the same as what Brisbane gave up for Allen Christensen in 2014. Pick 21. Both young players who have played in good teams and have finals experience.
Yeah, he would definitely fill in that 'player that can't kick' hole they have.

Litherland will be delisted in two years, Hill wants out, and Weller is 20 and basically our brightest youngster. Are you crazy man? Weller for O'Rourke and Sicily or something and there's some definite possibility, but this is deluded.
For what it's worth I hope Fremantle go hard for Litherland. Not pay overs, but stay in his ears. I like the unique way he plays defensively. WA country boy, come on down.

And what's Christensen done? Absolutely nothing. Another front runner who coasted in a really good side, and who has so much innuendo surrounding his quitting of the Cats.
Honestly anything other than a third rounder and throwing in like a Sherro will end up looking like a Des Headland 2.0.
Good to see some cynicism on here though. Was much missed during the absolute farce that Sylvia was. Go look at the posts on there and look at the fans and haters, and so who came out trumps.

It hasn't worked out for Brisbane and that's why I mentioned it as a comparison - especially when you'd consider the negotiations of what someone is worth when they change teams to a club lower on the ladder, and actually Christensen is/was a better inside mid/ contested ball winner than Brad Hill (rather than the frontrunner you say) and has had some injury issues in an injury depleted midfield at Brisbane - but its interesting to see what kind of impact a player can have in a new team taken out of a team with a better game plan and better skilled players. Not much.
Hill's career so far is about 80% wins, which is probably at the top end of players in the competition - so he's not use to losing. (In comparison - probably the most successful player in Fremantle's history in terms of win/loss is Lee Spurr at around 67% because he came into the team as we were on the rise in the middle of 2012.)

Actually they might be on to something. Hawks have been talked to have interest in some GWS lads. So maybe a Brad Hill trade to Freo with GWS involved could be great.

Someone mentioned Litherland above... have him. Has embarrassed Tucky's number.
If not I am a fan of Tucker, Balic & Grey.
