quid pro quo - it's not screwing them over, it's about fair and equitable trading and using the available tools of persuasion.

Imagine the melts if we had a crack too and he chose us over them
It might be part of the reason they want next year’s first. It will strengthen their hand while weakening ours.

Freo should probably look at the Hill trade as a lesson too. If they’re getting a fair offer for Schultz this year, they should take it. 12 months on and anything can happen. Lachie could do an ACL in August next year and be spending 12 months on the sidelines, which could significantly affect how desirable he becomes to other clubs. They run the risk that the FA compo is band 3 rather than band 2.
We all saw GWS knock back a pick in the 20’s for Hill, and now they’ve ended up with a pick around 40 for him after his down year after getting cancer.
Bell is trying to be too clever for his own good here imo.

It's a tough one for Freo. They lose so many players that they've got to at least appear to make a stand to keep their supporters happy.

One other element to it is the proliferation of academy and FS’. It allows clubs looking to take minimal picks to trade up superfluous picks to something meaningful.
Take us next year and making a serious play for Smith. Let’s say it’s 19 and 34 for Schultz. If we can push 38 into 2024 post the academy bids and retain our 1st then come trade week we might be able to dump both our 2024 seconds on GC for their 1st which would be chewed up by a bid on Lombard. That then gives us flexibility to trade two firsts for Smith if need be. We reduce our draft obligations from a list perspective and bring in two high quality best 23 fits for the price of Adams and two picks 20+.
I love this kid. Not because he chose us, but because he’s such a lad! He’s going places.

I think most clubs act a lot more professionally now after the Saints stance on the Luke Ball non trade and they got nothing and we got him in the PSD and he played in the 2010 Premiership team.
Bell is just posturing for the club and the press - it will be the 2023 1st rounder or no deal.
Wright doesn't blink and I think there may be other deals going on that we will find out about next Wednesday.
It's a future first so the pick could be top 10. That's the risk. And it would be packaged up with current first round and other picks etc.
Just look at Freo, trading last year's first round and this year's first round for Jackson thinking it would be a pick in the teens. Then they plummeted and ended up being a top 4 pick.
Jackson might have been worth taking the risk with. Not for Schultz.

Id be letting the odd one fall through if I was Freo, particularly whilst contracted. I think it's in Freo's best interests to be pricks to deal with, as they're likely to always be a poached from club that gets less coming back their way, so a reputation of being a heap of trouble to get deals done could be good for them.
I think that's the silly thing about the cats and moving from Wells's style to Mackie's. Their big advantage is always going to be players wanting in due to the number of western districts players. They should be aiming to keep the previous reputation of being good to deal with.

We can't assume Bell is being a tosser here. He isn't carrying on like he has publicly in the past.
Perhaps yes they've asked for a F1 or whatever but as I posted earlier it wouldn't surprise me if we're waiting on the Liam Henry deal to happen first.
Now that St Kilda have all but discarded Gresham (bar the official "decided not to match" etc) they'll probably look to get Dow and Henry done.

A lot of us have blown up about adams wanting out.
Freo are potentially losing a first round pick Henry who had a break season and their best small forward.
Can’t blame the reaction tbh.
Dodoro winning those trades, instead of winning those finalsCan we just have a moment to reflect on the fact that we signed McStay for less money than Essendon are signing Gresham for
Even with him publicly saying would be happy to play for Eagles, not sure if you’d recruit him over there after this.
