If Port lose this weekend and we offer Pick 9 and Pick 14. What do Freo get back?

Pick 30

 

[Polo342]

Pick 30

Seems like a overpay but I will accept it. Swear thats more than we got for Neale

I’d say pick 21 at a minimum

 

[Obeanie1]

Gee, he's late on that news.

Has the trade already been finalised has it?

Wow, you guys almost don't need us involved in the deal at all!








Almost.

You get the girl in my Avvie for the night

 

[Joao]

Shai Bolton.

Shai Bolton.

Tough Choice....

Probably take Shai though, less disappointment for all involved.

Has there ever been a trade that is as win/win as this one potentially?

Gibbs to crows.
Kelly to Eagles


All trades are win win until a few years later when the winner is worked out.

 

[mayne iac]

Cerra to Carlton

At the end of the day, Bolton is worth about a first and a second, realistically.

But because he's in contract, it'll be 9 and the Port Adelaide pick.

If you can throw in Port going out in straight sets . . .

 

[DragoDelph]

But that means the hawks win…

And if Ken makes a prelim, the schism at the club of stay or go will be a joy.

You make a good point

Genuinely hard to say who I want to lose more of the Hawks and Port

Port will probably go out in straight sets anyway given the way they played last game

So . . . Port in straight sets and then the club resigns Ken again anyway is probably the funniest outcome

Sounds expensive....

Sounds like a club with 3 first round picks that is very keen to use them in trade week rather than the draft.

They always had the fallback position that using those picks in the draft wasn't a bad 'plan B'. Now, while that's still true on a surface level, it would clearly mean they'd failed badly during trade week to achieve their strategic goals.

Pretty good fail option tbh

much better than our failure to make the finals

Agreed. It's more a perception thing, and it also makes it harder for those doing the trades to drive a hard deal.

Before this statement, you could stand tough and say that while you were prepared to trade them, you're happy either way.

Now it's clear that if you take those picks to the draft (inc swapping them for future picks), you've significantly failed to achieve your plan.

Last day of trade week, you're still going hard with Richmond over Bolton...you want 9 & 17, they want 9 & 10 (let's not quibble over the details here...it's just an example)....Can your list managers really take the L and walk away from that deal, even as a bluff?

We aren't going to walk anyway, it'll go through AFL mediation if need be

Only way I could see us walking is if Richmond ask for all 3 firsts and won't budge, which won't happen

Pft, you think that's failing to achieve a plan?

Try this one: https://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/1032994/fremantle-unveil-strategic-plan-for-2021-to-2025

Handing over 9 & 10 for Bolton would be a massive fail. Yes, the club should get in top end talent but they shouldn't overpay. Fremantle aren't good enough yet.
