How are you generating picks 'other' ways?Richmond won't be a motivated seller, we can generate picks other ways. The only way Bolton goes is if the offer is too good to pass up, Bolton and his management would've been aware of this before they went public so they've put their trust in freo
How would you know?No one ever wants to win a second premiership.
He won't cost 3 first rounders or he'll end up being probably the most expensive trade in history.I think the main disagreement here is exactly what is "overs". Most Freo peeps know its going to cost a lot, but is 7 and 12 overs or somehow including all three firsts this year "overs"
I'd find it pretty gross giving up all three as some want. No player goes for that much, contract or not
At the moment, Bolton is available, Warner isn't.Yeah - I am getting that feeling. He is a talent for sure. Surely it is him or Warner. It can't be both. I have no idea who I would prefer tbh.
Hey you, Freo and WC posters have a good thing going on the DTFA board atm, leave us aloneHow would you know?
Dan Rioli could go to the gold coast, Baker could go to WA and we have points to trade for Brisbanes first. That's 4 first rounders on top of our own first and second round picksHow are you generating picks 'other' ways?
I'm not saying Richmond should be actively shopping Bolton around but if Freo puts in a good offer then they should snap it up.
Freo give day 7 & 16 and that gives you 3 picks inside 20, with 2 of them top 10.
In such an even draft, which isn't heavily compromised by FS, academy picks, PPs and compensation(like last year), having 5-6 picks inside 50 can set up the core of your next contending team in one draft.
Holding onto Bolton isn't doing that for you, IMO, and he's unlikely to be a part of the next contending team until he's at least 30.
There hasn't been a better draft in recent times to load up on.
Good onya Horse.Weird that Bolton managed to win a second one. Everyone knows that all desire for success disappears after the first.
The derby was a week ago son, away with you now.How would you know?
Papley and the Swans made up pretty quickly.

Brisbane will have a lot of suitors, I imagine.
Prepare to be disappointed in what GC offer, unless Richmond pay most of his salary and pick purchase. Other clubs will be chasing those picks also.
Baker won't be going for a first, unless it's Freo's lowest.
Richmond have the most points to offer brisbane out of anyone, Gold coast have already offered pick 11 and 20 if we pay most of his salary and threaten to bid on lombard it could end up being more. Baker is definitely worth a firstBrisbane will have a lot of suitors, I imagine.

They also won't be giving up 2 first rounders for him, despite what the Vic media reports.Gold Coast wouldn't be chasing Dan if they couldn't fit him into the salary cap so i don't buy that argument.
One can only hope.That's my hope though I find I always undershot what we give by a bit but very few have gone for 7 and 12 straight up. I think it will be those two with some cap chucked in.
It gets more interesting if Port still miss finals
It's about the coming years, because they need to extend their young players who will be demanding more money, not their current cap.Gold Coast wouldn't be chasing Dan if they couldn't fit him into the salary cap so i don't buy that argument.

A couple of weeks ago Jay Clark was suggesting WCE might offer pick 3 for Baker, which is fanciful.
Still don't think salary cap comes into it all at with the recent increase in TPP. All clubs have plenty of room to move hence why so many free agents have stayed this year.It's about the coming years, because they need to extend their young players who will be demanding more money, not their current cap.
That sounds more likely to me also.I think we will get their 1st round pick and a 2nd round.
I also think Richmond don't want to lose any of their players at all. Personally, I think we need to cash in as much as we can.
Could be the other way around.Still don't think salary cap comes into it all at with the recent increase in TPP. All clubs have plenty of room to move hence why so many free agents have stayed this year.
Could be the other way around.
There's a cap floor and if a number of Richmond's better players leave, then they're going to struggle to pay it.
Paying players to leave and get good picks in return helps prevent renegotiating current contracts and paying more to players who don't deserve it.
See Jack Bowes at GC and how that ended, for instance.
"Pick purchasing" as Cal likes to call it is effectively already here (see this thread). Clubs are just creative in how they are doing it.Does the cap floor come into anymore, wasn't there talk that teams will be able to sell off their cap space to clubs that need it? Or am i just wishful thinking? haha
Wishful thinking at this stage but apparently the clubs want it brought in.Does the cap floor come into anymore, wasn't there talk that teams will be able to sell off their cap space to clubs that need it? Or am i just wishful thinking? haha
Bolton is a top 20 player imo, he was in 2022 and 2023 and he would be again this year if we were half decent
