So, a points value of pick 4 for Bolton? The Mighty Cats paid a points value of pick 6 for Cameron . . .
Traded Shai Bolton, pick 14 & F3 (Rich) traded to Fremantle for picks 10, 11 & 18

I don't really care about points value can you put it in actual terms
Actually pick 3
Explain what you mean by actual terms? Cameron is a generational player - is Bolton?
I don't know what a generational player is.
Oh. By actual terms I just thought you could state the terms of the trade. The ins and outs. I could look it up but you've butted in here and I feel that's on you.
Top5 in terms of draft picks ever!
Wouldn't that be 9,10 and 27
I reckon Tigers fans might take that . . .
Thank you for proving my point on points values meaning nothingWouldn't that be 9,10 and 27
also that would be more than pick 1!
Bet we couldn't trade those 3 for pick 1 though!!
One of the leading players in the competition
in their particular role . . . faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound . . . Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No . . . it's Jeremy Cameron!
In that case Shai Bolton is a generational player every third week or so.One of the leading players in the competition
Well . . . I reckon Gold Coast might take you up
"Butted in" on a post in The Trades thread - Hmm - wasn't aware that was a thing but ok
We got pick 11 (i think) for Jeremy Sharp - you got him off them for nothing
Well, you're a Geelong supporter trying to insert Jeremy Cameron into the conversation to make yourself feel better.
Well congratulations Jeremy Cameron is a generational player and you gave up the equivalent of 2434 points or something.

Are you not saying that 9 and 16 on points value is more than fair compared with Cameron trade and being argued with by a Freo fan?
Confused.
Except we wouldn't be paying 9+10 for Bolton. It would essentially be 9 for Bolton (unders) and then 10 for the maximum salary cap relief possible. It's astounding to me how many Freo supporters are continuing to ignore this, especially when we are trying to cram in the most players out of any team in the top 100 paid players list.

Not to mention is based on that year.
So if we’ve front loaded a contract, they’ll be on this year, and never be seen again.
Freo have missed so many trade targets in the past, we kept front loading contracts. It's why we've got the money to in the bank.

Not only that, Schultz leaving meant serong got a bonus.
Logue leaving meant cox and Darcy got a boost early to smooth it out later.
There’s a reason those deals are done after trade period, same as brayshaw this year. Just waiting to see if he gets a bonus or not, depending on who comes in.

I would suggest Freo give pick 9+10 and Richmond pay half of the salary of the 3 remaining 4 years of the contract while we are rebuilding so it helps us fill the 90% min cap than Freo add +2 more years on the deal of their own negotiation.
It becomes 6 year deal for 25 going on 26 year old in december, at the end of the deal he is 31/32.

Exactly.
Adding salary in costs draft picks but frees Freo up for future players as well.
There are more moving parts than just a player for picks. I assume given where Freo is now they want to add Shai to supercharge their offence (which he will do), and by rumour are looking for Warner. If they can get the picks and $ right Freo will turn a contending quality list into a super list. I could be wrong but there are most things in play than most in this thread consider.
I appreciate all this grown up talk about salary being part of the deal. Mainly because I've been hurt after losing players I like for the sake of 100 grand or so.
