Speculation Kysaiah Pickett [RFA 2027]

[Trav 20]

Just because you don't want it to happen , it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Now say that 5 times fast.

I'm just interested in facts, not hearsay from Freo flogs.

If Pickett wanted to leave and was held to his contract I'd have no problem. After-all, I don't think he'll end up a one club player.

But he never requested a trade and it was quashed early on by Peter Rhode.

So, to sum up, if he requested a trade and it didn't happen no problem. But he didn't. No problem also.

So what's your issue then?

 

[THE_GUN]

Cant believe the people here debating if he requested a trade

There are discussions had between managers of players and list managers and a written request doesnt need to be made
Pickett's manager could have just mention to the list manager if a trade was possible he would like to get to fremantle and the list manager could have mentioned what the trade would look like and they decided that freo didnt have the assets to satisfy melbournes demands so didnt go any further or the 2 clubs may have actually had a discussion and realised it couldnt get done.

Reckon theres a good chance Fremantle know they could have the pick of either Bobby Hill or Kozzie Pickett in October.

Great problem to have and can pair them up with Shai Bolton.

The ship has sailed on Warner for Fremantle. He will get to the Eagles.

Let's just see how the eagles and Harley go this season. Long season with a new coach.

I guess it’s basically up to Warner. If Jackson was unbothered by where he went we’d have got a better deal from west coast. So realistically it’s a players market. Always will be.

It would be much simpler for the Eagles to obtain Warner if Reid asked for a trade.

They would get more for Reid than what they would have to give up for Warner.

If there is any inclination of Reid leaving, its in West coasts best interest that its at the end of 2025.

Agreed but i think the Sydney/West Coast connections are super strong.

Don Pyke, Kieran Jack etc all doing heavy work on Warner already.

Its still pretty simple to get Warner while keeping Reid too. A top 5 pick, which we more than likely get goes very close to getting it done

Eagles have a ton of picks to play with already

Add in Warner and some quality young WA talent around him and they are away.

for Warner?

You will genuinely need at least another top 10 to go with it.

Statistically one of the best players in the comp already and is 23 years old.

If im Sydney i want two top 10 picks and steak knives.

[freo_leo29]

Bolton just went for 10 and 18

Chad is younger, I am expecting to pay more for him when we get him (I won't like it but he's gonna cost us more)

Not all first rounders are equal. Pick 10 is already out of the pointy end and 18 is almost a second round pick. A solitary pick from 1-3 is more valuable than that. If the Eagles have pick 3-5, I could see that another first round pick, but with a later first coming back, as being enough.

The measure was 2x top 10s and steakknives in the original quote, I reckon thats probably right

Don't see whats delusional about it


Anyway, don't think WCE have to worry, unless we turn down Chad for someone else (Let Kozzy go Dees, plz), he will likely be heading to Freo

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Absolutely guarantee thats what he will go for.

People don't want to accept reality

He will be uncontracted but when your 23 and being offered well over 1 million a year from multiple clubs then west coast will have to pay in draft capital accordingly.

He will actually be 24 at the time.

Sydney dont have leverage here mate, hes OOC. If a great offer of a 2025 top 5 pick is on the table they wont be able to ask for another top 10 pick.
If the Eagles had pick 8 and 9 then sure those 2 picks get it done comfortably, but a top 5 pick, lets use pick 3 for example, is worth just about as much as those 2 picks combined.
Its a far better offer than anything Freo could offer

23 or 24 is a minor detail

 

[briztoon]

23 or 24 is a minor detail

There’s about $1m difference.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Ill have a crack at what i reckon it will be:

West coast give: Pick 2, 2026 first round pick, 2024 Round 2 pick (Hawthorn)
West Coast get: Chad Warner, 2024 Round 2 pick (Sydney)

Didnt realise Warner was actually Chris Judd, my bad.

Pick 2/3 and a f2 maybe for both Warners.

Bolton+14 while heavily contracted went for 10+11+18, lets call that pick 5 value roughly
Warner is a better player but is also OOC, so that top 2/3 pick is close enough

2024 has already happened
