Toast Fremantle's 1st 2018 National Draft Pick: Sam Sturt [Pick #17]

[s_wd6]

Nah, he has taken a certain liberty there, it isn't a done deal yet

unfortunately inside trading isn't the article it once was, they need to fill more airtime nowadays


I'm confident that talks are very advanced but Pickett entering the frame may throw a spanner in there


The talk on Bailey is different, he defs had a contract first, likely held off but decided to sign at the right time, Sam could definitely be pushed back

This from separate knowledge or your conclusions from the afl website?

I'm not too fussed either way. If he's signed, great, if not, he can be used to sweeten a trade for Kozzie or Shai.

Separate knowledge from the way these things work

Believe me, I'd love to know Sturty is locked up right now, as the #1 ticket holder of the Sam Sturt fanclub (I've been running this gig for years, nice to see more jump on board)

Could be that a 2 year at say 600 has been agreed to, but if things happen he’ll sign a 3 year at 500.

(As an example) (don’t think that’s the deal) (just that there may be a couple of options in front of these guys and there's an agreement in place)

I think we’re just not announcing it for whatever reason tbh.

Beveridge would have contacts as a journalist working for AFL website and was handed this one on platter whilst doing Gettable.

They release Gettable early in the day and the article comes out towards the end of the day. The article is always a summary of what happened in Gettable but is often added to and/or updated with additional news. I reckon Sturt’s management was willing to confirm he’d re-signed to Beveridge once their company spilt the beans tbh.

Interesting that there’s still nothing in this space. I reckon it’s a situation where both he and the the club are open to trade/stay options. Both may be happy with either outcome.

You do realise the club has made no official announcement on Wagner or Voss despite signing both players. It's bullshit.

It's so weird that the club does this regularly. That and outright lying to the members about injuries, just a weird way to treat your fans.

This is an odd year though. It's still possible the club will be looking to trade one or two contracted players (mutually agreed) to facilitate bringing in some whales. In those circumstances it's probably not ideal to be trumpeting re-signings.

Yeah, a lot of these guys could have signed, or have in-principle agreements pending other things.

The club like to do a run of signing announcements leading into the Christmas/New Year period with the last one being a big name, so they need some ammo for that.

[Perfect Purple]

I’m a bit concerned about the direction we’re taking. What does champion data say about teams that kick too many goals?

That we should’nt play two rucks! Oops nah that’s Kane Cornes saying that

[Deathly]

Good boy

 

[dont bowl there]

There it is!

 

[Purple Suit]

Confirmed that the Freo media team are reading these boards.

 

[freo_leo29]

Yesssss

 

[Bicco]

Finally. Awesome.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Thank **** for that.

If he stays fit there's a fair chance he kicks more goals than Bolton next season.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Good onya Sam, I didn't want to find another favourite.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Three sign on until 2026

Fremantle have announced the contract extensions of three players until 2026

Good onya Sam, I didn't want to find another favourite.

I’ve invested so much emotional capital that I’m relieved

 

[Kram]

40+ goals next season plz.

40+ goals next season plz.

Yep, he’s going to be the biggest beneficiary of Bolton coming in, who’ll get the best medium defender.

Indeed, and it just sparked for me, even just with the addition of Bolton, after all the Pickett hullabaloo, thinking about our mix. Imagine (if all goes well ) having our first choice forward line for an extended period next year. Super salivating.

Of course, once we've kicked Bolton's tyres and got a fair price.
