Traded Lachie Weller [traded to Gold Coast]

[LynchysMob]

Of course, you and GWS wallies are the only ones who 'really' know whats going on

Let's just watch it play out and see. Speculate away.

With 7 or 8 going to Freo for Weller?

Why not just cut out the middle man and go 2 and 21 for 5 and Weller? Better.

Because Freo would prefer to have 5 and 7 you would think.

Really enjoyed the Weller interview.

Clear case of displacement disorder and needs to get back home.

This is a player welfare issue now so Fremantle need to do the ethical thing and get him and his gf back closer to their families.

And Gold Coast?

 

[Colonial]

His home doesn't have an AFL team.

His family moved to the coast when he was 15 yeah?

Have they moved back?

Wallace on the 2 and 21 for 7 and 8 train

Toot toot!

That to me looks a ripper deal for all parties involved

Weller for 11,26, 2018 1st (15+) & Wilson

That's the most ridiculous outcome I've ever seen proposed on Bigfooty.

We're cautiously optimistic!

 

[bird_man]

And Gold Coast?

Gold Coast want Weller.

Unfortunately the ball is a little in Freo's court.

8 and Weller for 2 is a win for GC.

They have plenty of second round picks so losing 21 isn't an issue.

Trade time is awesome. I don't blame anyone for dreaming big!

Good call, if Freo get offered what they offered you guys then I’m sure they’ll get it done.

Completely understand why you’re all hating on Freo, but with how things are now you could have won that trade easily. Instead you didn’t, so let’s hope the rest of the competition learns from your dramatic failings in respect to McCarthy (Even if I am using massive hindsight).

We'd prefer 5 and 7 or 8 to 2 and 21 - so would most?

i think the Roberton and Balic situations shows how Freo responds to legitimate player welfare issues.

We will as soon as that early 1st rounder hits the table (that's a massive 50% discount on Cam)

Nah I’d prefer we just completely ignore any and all offers for no good reason and force the kid back home with mental health issues. That’s the Giants way!

Just had the chance to listen to Weller's interview.

Poor judgement from his management to let him do that - sounded like a typical early 20s footballer having a sook.

Plus Haywood in his fantasy team - the guy is clearly no good a backing a winner right now.

As everybody knows, except GWS supporters apparently, his family moved to Melbourne.....and they are still in Melbourne

 

[getgaff]

Think the idea proposed by Wallace has merit, that being St. kilda as 3rd party.

Saints give up 7 and 8 to GCS, receive pick 2 (and maybe 21) getting up the first round draft order like they've been chasing for 2 weeks.

GCS lose pick 2 and maybe 21 but obtain 7 and 8 from the Saints and Weller.

Pick 7 exchanges between the Suns and Fremantle for Weller.


Alternatively picks 2 and 5 change between Gold Coast and Fremantle. Freo also get GCS second round pick 21.

What about his partners family?

Surely her being near family is just as important as him.

 

[JRyan23]

It's not every day a young, All-Australian, Club B&F winning, major multinational brand ambassador with Hollywood connections and a string of super model girlfriends nominates your club mate.

But he isn't.

They moved to Melbourne after Lachie was drafted.

Well this cheery thread is going around in circles. Go back about 20 pages where its been discussed numerous times. The previous comment was just educating a GWS supporter who perhaps was unable to read any of the earlier posts

Thanks for the info.
Did they all go back?

How would you know that this one isn't? Is it cause he isn't going to a melbourne based club???

 

[JRyan23]

He's parents are moving back to QLD for a reason, and is why Weller and his GF want to go back HOME to QLD

 

[manny100]

Wallace on AFL radio obviously reads big footy. It was mooted here earlier.
