Speculation Chad Warner [OOC 2025]

[s_wd6]

Why do people still talk about PSD like it’s a genuine option? Apart from fringe players that are about to be delisted there is really no way anyone is genuinely at risk of using it.

 

[LongSerong]

Youd take 2 1st rounders for Brayshaw next year?

Well other than the fact that Brayshaw isn't going anywhere, no. Brayshaw has more runs on the board than Warner to this date

 

[LongSerong]

Oh ok, thought you were referring to this year as you have 3 firsts in this draft.

Whose first rounder do you hold next year, on top of your own?

A future 1st?

I'm sure Freo would try give 2 decent picks for Warner next year if it came to it

Is that a serious post ?

The only one of those he had at Warner's age were the 22 under 22 nominations.

 

[King Huskii]

Superstar Swan in out of his depth

Fair point, and I don't think this thread needs to be derailed anymore into a Brayshaw vs Warner debacle

 

[kuhni]

This isnt a selling club situation

YOU are the buying club . If Sydney dont like your offer they can just not take it. Warner then will have the choice between staying, going to Eagles or joining North/Richmond. Suspect he just stays in that situation

Swans have no obligation to sell here

I'm talking about end of next year.

 

[kuhni]

Oliver has more runs on the board than daicos aswell. I know who's worth more

What a terrible example. Oliver has gone off the rails, Warner and Brayshaw have not.

You're just embarrassing yourself now

 

[BloodySwan]

I can't believe this thread has another yr of this before Warner signs his new contract.....

 

[LongSerong]

With any luck it turns into the Baker thread closeby - 145 pages and counting

Bookmarked

This is going to be fun

The point is less about the players and more about "runs on the board"

 

[kuhni]

Well going back a couple years Oliver was a premiership winner and the dominant inside mid in the game. Had a fair few runs on the board before he started ripping off windscreen wipers and kicking holes in gyprock.

 

[Carnthedockers]

I'm sorry but I find even thought of fremantle bending a club over the trade table hilarious....usually it's the other way round

You’re kidding me right? Didn’t you see how we acquired Brayshaw for Weller, and Serong for Brad hill? Bending clubs over is what gave us all our talent. Not to mention what looks like a top 10 pick for Schultz.

 

[Carnthedockers]

That’s not what he’s arguing. He didn’t say his ceiling was higher.

 

[theGav56]

Why would Sydney let you walk all over them? Freo have zero chance of getting him unless its a trade and zero chance of making it happen unless Sydney get what they want

Sydney are in the power position here regardless of what you think

Still hurting from the Kelly trade eh.

Geelong tried the same with us when Clark decided he wanted to move. In the end they got a reasonable deal but less than they hoped for.

 

[theGav56]

Freo fans can rule the psd pipe dream out. West coast are going to have a pick way before freo. They tool harley reid when everyone said pass, I'm sure they will take the punt on the desperately homesick home grown warner

Yes. That will be on be of the main reasons Sydney would prefer to trade to Fremantle.

No idea what Fremantle are like at the trade table but Beatson is a fair trader. I don't recall him asking for way overs for a player, or offering peanuts for a star.

Warner will probably have a GF medal to go with that soon.

I think most Freo fans' perception is:

• We dig our heels in when trading away a player in contract (negotiations almost always drag)
• We kinda accept the bad position we're in when trading away players out of contract (not fold per se, but if the other team is being reasonable it'll get sorted quickly)
• We're fair when trading in players, pretty much regardless of contract status (many fans would say we don't sufficiently take advantage of the relative position of power when trading in a player OOC)

If I were to summarise it in a phrase, it'd be "realistic constructive negotiators". In the moments heels are dug in, you may be annoyed but would also understand why heels are being dug in, and almost always a solution will eventuate. Exceptions would be when, for whatever reasons, the teams are too far apart for anything to happen. GWS going for Lobb in 2021, us going for Sharp in 2022.

Contrast it with what Gold Coast did with Sharp in 2022 or some of the more cringe "tough negotiators", who seem to want the appearance of being tough but either don't seem to have a plan at all or hold up a trade for a week because of a swap of future 4th rounders.
