I think the impact of contract status on trade value is really down to the clubs trading. It does make a legitimate difference.

You list a few Freo trades but Freo seem to only use contract status when trading a player out. Schultz, Hill, Lobb compared to Langdon and Cerra (people shouldnt equate Cerra now with Cerra then).

Brisbane and Geelong seem more than content to leverage the crap out of contract status on trading players in. I think Cats specifcally dont trade for someone unless uncontracted so they can get as cheap as possible. It's a club by club thing but we arent getting anywhere near wat we got for Schultz and Hill if uncontracted.
