It will be 13 and 14!!!!!Are we at that point we just don't deal with Freo for Bolton?
The commentary is that they dont want to hand over Picks 14 and 15 - which I doubt we will find a player as good as Shai Bolton for.
To end up with Picks 14 and 21 are gross for a genuine star, at this prime with 4 years left on his deal. We ain't in the business of putting Freo in contention for a flag.
However, to bundle Baker and Bolton to the Eagles is more attractive
I'm happy with Picks 3 and 23 (27) for Baker and Bolton and Freo can get ****ed ?
Pick 1, 3, 6 (Rioli) are pretty damn good
Eagles lose Bo Allen though
pick 14 and 15 are daylight robbery by freo for boltonAre we at that point we just don't deal with Freo for Bolton?

Shai still has another level of development in him and could be one of the best players in the comp. We should hang onto him if we can’t get high picks in the tradepick 14 and 15 are daylight robbery by freo for bolton
wtf is going on !!
Interesting. Ordered.She's a moron.
It goes back to the very start, and is why we weren't included in the first incarnation of the VFL in 1897. Melbourne footy establishment is and always has been very Rule Brittania Protestant and Richmond was Bolshy Irish Catholic. Richmond men refused to go get shot for King and Country in Flanders trenches while the Poms were occupying Ireland, that sort of thing.
I highly recommend George Megalogenis' book 'The Football Solution: How Richmond's premiership can save Australia' for a history lesson on RFC, Richmond the suburb, the V/AFL, and Melbourne culture and politics. Great read.
The Football Solution by George Megalogenis
In a characteristically sweeping and entertaining story, George Megalogenis reveals how football has been shaped by the nation that invented it and how the game we love, in turn, might help resolve Australia’s political impasse.www.penguin.com.au
If that's what they're offering just walk away. They're a noob club, always have been. Just relocate some of his family here.Are we at that point we just don't deal with Freo for Bolton?

Heard that Brayshaw is not happy freo going after Bolton but moreso Wagner.They will offer their pick 7 + next years first to freo for Andrew brayshaw
Then offer pick 8 + second round pick this year tied to Adelaide for sam Houston
I thought we were getting pick 2 for himOmg I just saw Jack Graham hasn’t officially chosen Eagles
Wtaf
Surely it’s because he’s letting the clubs work out best deal for each other
Jesus **** tho, imagine another 4 years of watching concrete boots trailing 10 meters behind every oppo mid
Why? Does he feel threatened?Heard that Brayshaw is not happy freo going after Bolton but moreso Wagner.
Channel 9 to fund it.We need Kerry Packer
Definitely before. The ''70's and early '80's at least.Since then, maybe even before, we’ve been hated.
They should just not have compo picks. I can’t think of a single other industry that rewards an employer who is unable to retain a talent. If you didn’t do what was needed to keep a player, then you should not be rewarded with a high draft pick.The carry on about compensation picks is full of hypocrisy.
We've got posters complaining about 'spuds' from other sides netting their teams band 1/2 compensation, but then also wanting our own 'spud' in Graham to net us band 2 or 3 compensation if he departs.
The reasoning for the compensation picks is quite simple, the players are subject to bidding wars, which elevates their contract value and eventually their current club is going to reach a point where letting them depart is worth more than having them stay, both due to them being uncomfortable in paying the money required and the pick they get in return.
As mentioned we're in the same position with Graham. We want him to stay, but aren't going to overpay for that to happen, so have been upping our offer to either match or better what WCE are offering. Eventually we'll reach a point where it's better for us to allow him to depart and take the compensation.
IMO the reason we haven't seen a deal for Graham being tabled yet is because the 2 clubs decided to hold off to see what sort of compensation others got so they could then do a deal that nets us a band 2 or 3 pick but doesn't force the Eagles to overpay for him or we can then make an offer that allows us to re-sign him without overpaying ourselves.
FWIW I expect that we'll see his decision being made across the weekend and Graham likely departs for the Eagles and gets us a band 2/3 pick and we'll then do a pretty simple deal for Baker, which I wouldn't be shocked to see it being their 2024 & 2025 R2 picks.
Yep until end of 2027. Happy to trade him for pick 4 and a later pick though... Unfortunately for both of us, he's nominated GC though as where he'd like to get to.Hey guys, I just wanted to know If Daniel Rioli is contracted and if so for how long. Thanks.
AB will be a ain't next yearHeard that Brayshaw is not happy freo going after Bolton but moreso Wagner.
It's always hard losing good contracted players.Yep until end of 2027. Happy to trade him for pick 4 and a later pick though... Unfortunately for both of us, he's nominated GC though as where he'd like to get to.
Reckon North will give us pick 2
We give them pick 7 + next years second round pick
Losing them is ok... he won 3 flags with us. It's getting the appropriate compensation for a long-term contracted player that is the hardest part.It's always hard losing good contracted players.
Yeah true, especially when dealing with certain clubs, their players are worth overs and yours are worth a bag of chips.Losing them is ok... he won 3 flags with us. It's getting the appropriate compensation for a long-term contracted player that is the hardest part.
yeah our pub has been quiet until now. It's too busy now, I want to go back to quietly sipping Lalor #1 lager, now I have to wait ten minutes to get one.I've only been saying that for 4 weeks I guess
He's not. It's more likely 13 and 30something for Noble and Pies Future 1stIn what universe is noble worth pick 13? Mind boggling.
Dimma really loves a battler but does he need noble?
If we have picks 1,3,6 we can safely choose FOS at one and Lalor at 3. 50/50 Lalor goes at pick 5 to Melbourne as they are also interested in LangfordWould you take FOS if it meant we couldn’t get Lalor?
Where are you pulling 14 and 15 from?pick 14 and 15 are daylight robbery by freo for bolton
wtf is going on !!
