Pick 4 seems a blindingly obvious trade if he wants to go. He’s an accumulator who isn’t worth much more, Mitchell went for 14

At no stage did I imply what anyone else thought of anyone else.

Yeah I daresay that's what would happen - although I'd much rather hold out for our 1st and 3rd picks.
Our first this year and next is selling the farm though and I just can't see it happening.

No point for Freo.
If they are offering 900k a season for 6 seasons then they are clearly very keen on him, think we will be very well compensated if he does end up leaving

The FF King brother is the selling point. I'd say a lot depends on how highly Freo's recruiters rate him.
I dont think many people can see Freo climbing up the ladder drastically next season so our compensation pick will probably be around 4/5 anyway next year, so it will have to be a fair bit more than 4 to get us to part ways with him this year, otherwise we just keep him and back ourselves in to sign him, and brisbane run the risk of every other team throwing alot of money at him next year

There will be a tall forward in next year's draft too.

Huh?
Seriously, why the hell would Freo let their contracted player go a year early when they'll get roughly the same should he depart next year as a FA?
"Nah they have to have King this year!"
What complete rubbish.
The balance to that is that Bris uses pick 4 this year and gets him for nothing next year, that is a fair incentive to not pay too much this year.
That is a very fair point, but i just cant see freo accepting it unless its a fair bit more than pick 4 otherwise it doesnt benefit us at all, and like you say brisbane might not offer that and try get him for free next season, will be very interesting
I hope for your sake that Brisbane don't have your trading strategy.

Yeah but why would Freo do it this year?

Yeah talk of two top five picks makes no sense when we can get him next year and have Neale + our two top five picks.

Yeah but your club is trying to get him this year, aren't they? That's why there is a conversation about him. So what are they going to give up that makes sense for Freo to let him go while contracted?

If the lions decide to wait until next year and get him for nothing then Fremantle lose out on pick 4 this year for one more year of Neale.

But Brisbane are chasing him this year. Which part of that are you struggling with?
And if Neale leaves as a free agent in 12 months, Freo will get a Band 1 pick as compensation, which will probably be not too far off pick 4.
So what do Freo lose by keeping him? What are Brisbane going to offer to shake Neale loose this year?
Try to answer that question without suggesting we live in an alternative reality where Brisbane wants Neale in 12 months not this year.

If Fremantle want more then we are prepared to trade they may decide to wait a year. Fremantle lose pick 5. Lions lose Neale but keep pick 5
Why do we care if you get him for nothing if we'll get the same regardless according to you?

So what is the incentive for Fremantle to trade their contracted player this year? They'll get the early pick in 2019 instead.
Can you answer that question?

I suppose but if the price is too high they may wait and use pick 5. Still think it'll be pick 5 + second rounder.

It would need to be at least that, or it makes no sense for Freo.

An extra second round pick. If Freo ask for too much more then that the lions may decide to wait until 2019 and keep pick 5

Yeah, that would need to be the sweetener. At the very least.
