Confirmed Shai Bolton, pick 14 & F3 (Rich) traded to Fremantle for picks 10, 11 & 18

[VinnieB]

That is proof that draft picks can be a lottery which is my point of we should be getting Freo's top picks ion 9,10 so it's our best possible case to get the best players in the draft possible.

Bolton is a great talent, no arguments there, and it's not everday you have an opportunity to bring one into your club.
I think it's not without risk. His form/attitude or whatever you want to call it, could be alot better.

 

[Mesc]

I think you overate Freo's position and under rate West Coast and Richmond's position. For lateral moves can shift things up quickly

West Coast has Harley Reid, Freo does not and Fyfe is towards the end despite his Brownlow efforts. No Pavlich's at Freo

currently

I get your probably one eyed which is fair enough

Yeh nah

 

[Cobbler]

Jack Martin just rejected Freo for the cats

Pressure is mounting on Freo

Oh. No.
A DFA has rejected us.
May as well blow our load on Shai.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Oh man, the 1-2 combo is too good. We really have no one near patriotic enough on the Freo board to compete. Maybe if we actually win something we can step up our game

 

[blaisee]

Do not shoot the messenger, but I am hearing there will be a player from Freo coming back

Do not think it will be best 22, someone younger

Pressure is mounting on Freo

An injury prone player who played only 3 games this year decided to stay in Victoria to avoid frequent travel . If anything it’s a sigh of relief .

Likely knobel

It better not be one of their duds and trust me they have plenty of them

Heaps of relief for freo, keep targeting players and they say NO

Baker NO
Martin NO
Shai ?

Bizarre take

 

[blaisee]

Likely knobel

Is he any good?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Is he any good?

Look at the first four letters of his name it's like he was born to be at Freo forever.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'll be very upset to lose Knobel. He's way ahead of Meek comparatively. I think he'll be a very good AFL ruck

Didn’t his dad play for you lot

 

[Cobbler]

Is he any good?

Easily in the top 20 blokes in the AFL listed at 206cm or taller…

 

[DragoDelph]

Is he any good?

Young developing ruckman that’s tracking really well.

Watchers would prefer to keep
Him over Reidy, and we’re hopeful he’d push for a senior spot next year.

maybe its him, honestly do not know

 

[A Bit Dusty]

He played for a few clubs

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Rich01 still trying to figure this one out when Max has 3 letters.

 

[wakojako]

Not sure that 9 and 10 will be enough to be honest

I am not joking

Blaisee after Bolton gets traded for picks 9 and 16:

Who is telling you these things

I'd love to hear what kind of source you come up with

The voices in your head?

 

[Mesc]

Heaps of relief for freo, keep targeting players and they say NO

Baker NO
Martin NO
Shai ?

Bizarre take

Not bizarre at all. We don’t know what happened behind the scenes with Baker. Did he say no or did Freo change their mind to chase more favourable players? Were we even seriously chasing Martin ?He would only end up at Peel . We have the best hand of the draft , i find it a“ Bizarre take “ that you reckon they are under pressure

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Look at the first four letters of his name it's like he was born to be at Freo forever.

Shows what you know. Half our board think we don't have enough knobs.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

The fact so many Freo fans seem happy to trade 9 & 16 means this trade is more in your favour than ours.

This

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

I think 9 and 16 gets it done though if Freo are comfortable not needing salary paid

Would it not be advantageous to have salary component looked after IF you are a genuine chance with The Chad next season?? It would free the shoulders up a bit?

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Freo will get Warner instead, 3 club trade swans jamarra, dogs get young, freo get Warner.

Why pay overseas for Bolton this year? He'll be worth a pick in the 20s same time next year
