I think the majority accept that price. Just some haggling around the edges.Freo will enjoy his talents
it's a win/win for all
freo just have to pay up those 2Ă— 1st Rd picks and we're good.
over to you freo!
Yeah we are gonna have to pay overs, likely in the form of 2 first round picks (whether that's 9 and 10 or 9 and 17 will likely depend on something coming back or money paid)You will have to pay overs; he is under contract. lol Richmond is in a position where they need high end talent if the picks are late first rounders it won't get it done.
If we've been working on Chad for several years, I don't believe we blow it up for Bolton.West coast won't enter the race for Shai but they should be cheering it on
Our cap being used would open the door for chad to them next year
Let’s all hope Port get fustigated in straight sets.
I guess freo can stop thinking of warner lining up for then now.
If Sydney don't want to move him this year he is worth far less next year where Freo have another two first round picks to use.
I think it is an interesting situation where there actually is a little bit of pressure on Richmond to sell their contracted player this year. 1. It is rare that teams have multiple first round picks available especially when the trade is a go-home-factor one with just two WA sides.Yeah who knows.
It seems Bolton has been convinced by the WA club they can get a deal done and will pony up to satisfy Richmond. Otherwise he wouldn’t have informed the Tigers this soon. If it’s Freo they would be expecting to pay more than fair price with him being contracted. And further overs if they want us to provide some cap relief.
Richmond would be more than happy to give options for both scenarios you’d think, but it’s really up to the WA club to satisfy the club because he’s contracted.
From an optics perspective two firsts would be suitable for Freo for their simplistic fans to feel like they have got some value in the trade. But another pick on top of that for Richmond to pay a large proportion of his salary would make the most commercial sense. And this may enrage some fans who don’t understand the workings of list management.
You take the sure thing thoughIf we've been working on Chad for several years, I don't believe we blow it up for Bolton.
Reckon we'd still be all over Chad next year. I think this just tells you it ain't happening this year.
That’s more than what I thought. But my guess that number will go up next year with Bolton on board.8/23
Yeah we are gonna have to pay overs, likely in the form of 2 first round picks (whether that's 9 and 10 or 9 and 17 will likely depend on something coming back or money paid)
What my post was saying is Richmond are the only ones blocking this, it'll only be if they request something ridiculous that stops it
Nah, you can't be backing out of stuff like that. Especially not given what's been talked about in the media re: agents.You take the sure thing though
Chad is a maybe, Shai has actually requested the trade
apparently Bolton's manager has come out and said no trade as been requested. I have no idea what is going on. The drama and suspense is killing me
No, which is why we're not giving up 3 first rounders. That's what old Freo would do.Laugh it up, fuzzballs. You wanna remain West St Kilda forever?
I mean trading pick 3 AND a late first is certainly a great way to do thatLaugh it up, fuzzballs. You wanna remain West St Kilda forever?
His statement is hilarious, he's the dude who did absolutely no favours for Tim Kelly on his first trade request.apparently Bolton's manager has come out and said no trade as been requested. I have no idea what is going on. The drama and suspense is killing me
Richmond still need to reach the cap floor.West coast won't enter the race for Shai but they should be cheering it on
Our cap being used would open the door for chad to them next year
Richmond's trade people and Banfield are good blokes, they'll look past his free agent status right?All smoke and mirrors, but you need to look at the facts before us.
Shai wants to play in Perth.
Banfield was apparently offered a 2/3 year deal but yet to sign.
Shai maintains only if a deal can be done.
Banfield still yet to sign.
It’s staring us right in the face.
Bolton traded for Banfield.
Obviously some minor shuffling of picks, but I’d say that makes up 98% of the trade.
