Traded Cameron McCarthy [traded to Fremantle with picks 7, 33 and 71 for pick 3]

Good trade. His mo has gotten worse.

That may be a photo of our 2 KP forwards in 2017. Few Freo supporters think Fyfe should be a permanent forward.

GWS need to learn the value of picks.

Extract silver spoons from mouth.

A great deal for Freo but the difference between 3 and 7 is quite a bit.

The last 7 years an example

Pick 3 Heeney, Brayshaw, Billings, Plowman, Tyson, Day, Martin
Pick 7 Hopper, Ahern, Aish, Wines, Haynes, Caddy, Sheppard

Its not as great as that of course, There are plenty of busts in the top five and plenty of successes in the next 15. Given they also get McCarthy and a quality pick 34, they are miles ahead

Most freo supporters happy with our trade ....not me , I have a hard and fast rule to never trade for anyone nicknamed ; sunshine , the package , daisy , the big show , wizard/wiz or any other magic related theme , any farm animal related names such as chook or piggy , Hollywood , killer and anyone with a nickname that is just their last name with an o on the end

No kidding but the chance of getting an A grader is exponentially greater the earlier the draft pick. Which is why the very early draft picks are rarely traded and highly coveted by teams

Mind you. Freo still did very well because GWS would not have the issue of there academy players being bidded for early by getting pick 3 so was a win win

I reckon with the chance of carlton giving gws pick 5 they would have come to a gentlemans agreement about who not to touch. So instead of the uncertainty of waiting for 1, 2 picks. It will be 1,2, 4 & 6. But what would I know))

Since when?

Then what if Freo believe 100% their man will slide to pick #7?
