Haha.
Saying Dayle Garlett hid a drug addiction from the club would be like saying Aaron Sandilands hid his height from recruiters.

Hawks knew he had issues. No doubt about it. They tried to fix him and give him the hard word and he did what pretty much everyone who knew him do what he did.
Well mate I'll call b@"sh't on that cause I know 2 of his uncles that are close to him and they didn't know!!
 
Happy to take Norths 3rd rounder which is pick 40.

That means freo go in to the draft with picks 5, 40 and 41. Sure no 2nd rounder in between but better than nothing

He is uncontracted and sat out half the year. You will be lucky to get a 50s/60s pick like we did for kersten.

So

Poppy to GWS
GWS 3rd round to freo
Balic to Hawthorn
Actually from a conversation I've had with someone associated with GWS, it should look like this:

Poppy and our 3rd rounder to GWS (40 ish)
Kennedy and their 3rd rounder back (50 ish).
We'll be paying approx 70% of Poppy's contract for 2 years. Have a venture over to the Matthew Kennedy thread to get the full explanation.

GWS don't have a 3rd rounder

Fair deal, I'd imagine.

Won't be too much fuss in this one.
 
I hope so, because you are slinging shit at a real person. Would be outrageous if your information is not correct.
agree is dangerous stuff to be making public statements that can affect a person's reputation and thereby there employment opportunity and value. Potential "Defamation" is something the mods need to monitor too and remove as soon as it shows in a post...for all our good

Trade talk a while back about Carlton open to swapping Boekhorst for Balic. Not sure if it would also involve a swap of picks, or who would drive the bargain. Boekhorst is the better performed player so far, but Balic still has the potential and wants to move home. Could be a win-win trade. Anyone heard anything more?

IMO whoever gets Balic gets a great bargain no way this works out as a win for Freo , saying Boekhorst is the better performed player is fair enough but that is purely because of the circumstances of Balics 2017 when he has played ( at WAFL level ) he has 3 or 4BOG's out of 15 or so games that sort of impact by a young player is extremely rare

Freo are totally over a barrel with Balic not only because he wants to go home but we haven't had the chance to showcase his talent either hopefully he has a bit of goodwill towards us and helps us get something for him but a win / win scenario is very unlikely

Rather Picks than players who only add to depth or is only a marginable upgrade on players we already have.

Maybe Freo can repay the Hawks by dealing with Hawks, seeing as we let Hill go home because of home sickness and let you guys have a bargain..

Yeah that deal probably balanced out the deal that saw you net Hodge and Mitchell that led to an era of dominance and multiple premierships. Oh and you got Croad back for peanuts.

But yeah, let's focus on the deal last year instead in terms of 'balancing out' previous trades.

We'd owe you a decade of first rounders if we had to even up all of our trades, let's just even up last year
