Speculation Chad Warner

Also the clowns saying Treacy and Amiss over Reid and Warner are truly delusional. Chad is a top 15 player in the comp and Reid surely will be soon enough. The two forwards never will be. Kicking 1.6 goals a game amongst your 8 touches is Joel Amartey type stuff.

The irony is that people were legitimately hyping up Amartey putting up Amartey numbers when he's 4 years older than Jye Amiss. We'd be having street parades if Amartey was 21 and doing what he's doing now.

Regardless, the original question was "Is there a player at Fremantle you wouldn’t trade in a direct swap for Harley Reid or Chad Warner?" Saying you wouldn't trade Amiss or JT for Reid or Warner doesn't mean you're saying they're objectively better. It can merely mean "Freo already have 3 mids 25 years old or younger who made AA squad this year, trading in another elite/potentially elite mid isn't worth losing some of the most promising key fwds in the comp". You can disagree with that, but that's a completely different claim to saying they're just better. We were so accustomed to rubbish key fwds that we hyped the shit out of Rory Lobb kicking 36 goals in a season, so we know actually good ones are hard to find.

Or to illustrate the difference simply: knowing what you know now, if I asked you "What would you trade for Tom Boyd in the 2015 off-season?", you'd say no to offers that on paper look insane to refuse. Coz there are hundreds of players who would give you a lot more than the 38 average fwd-ruck production games Boyd gave you guys post-2015. But how many of them have the grand-final winning impact he had in 2016?

I don’t for a second agree with you, but your reasoning is fair enough and is what I was getting by saying the list manager should take everything into account. A key forward is far more valuable to Freo than WCE, but a premier established young mid is far more valuable to WCE than Freo. In saying that, I still don’t think there’s a list manager in the comp that would take Amiss or Treacy over Warner or Reid.

Ummm did you just link me a page that has the exact twitter account listed and try to say I had the wrong bloke?

That is one hell of a double down

I know people double down when wrong on the internet but I atleast thought you'd go with something like "his brother must've posted all of those tweets for him"

We can only judge what has been.
Amiss has played 47 games so go spend hours searching for a better goals per first 47 games drafted in the last 20 years.
I’ll agree he’s no Modra kicking 220 goals in first 50 games but he goes alright.
Darling was a leading goal kicker in a premiership year a great fwd

Amiss will be a very very good player and Modra was a freak

Jack Riewoldt 46 games for 57 Goals
Then he followed up with 78 goals in the next 22 games

They only played 20 games in the 90's - not 23.

Amiss is 22 next year . McAdam kicked 68 goals in 17 games. 2025 is apples for apples.

Modra kicked 129 in 23 games in his second season so if your a fwd that can’t do that you might as well pack it in and move to defence?
Is that what your saying
That’s why I Clearly stated drafted in the last 20 years.
Football has changed unfortunately

Come on guys, don't make me quote myself again, it's embarrassing.

Chad Warner talk please.

Fwiw I've heard we are focusing our efforts on Pickett because Warner is financially out of our reach, unless we trade out a big contracted player. Not conceding just yet but we are trying hard to make it work.
 
It’s bad enough having to deal with Freo and West Coast fans irl, now I have to come on here and read their tripe.

I can't focus on anything other than Chad's crooked mouth when he speaks.
