AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Pick 1, Pick 3, Pick 6, Pick 10 is probable at this stage. From snippet of info.
Freo very confident Bolton deal is being agreed in principle. Framework at least been done.
They have the midfield sorted pretty much with LDU Simpkin Sheezel Wardlaw & McKercher so they could look at dropping back get 2 mid R1 picks and target a couple of KPPs or a KPF and midfielderYeah I get the thinking, but its not like their list is stacked. I would be shocked if they thought they could pick positional players to fill specific holes with the state of their list.
Agree with you 100%. Small players win finals. You need a competitive KPF with smalls doing the leg work and roving.the finals have shown time and time again that all you need is a tall who competes. Gun small forwards win you games... Joe Berry would be my pick over the best tall. if we had a forward line that had Berry and Jobe Shanahan in it then I could enjoy watching games next year.
Nothing worse than having young mids kicking to the worst forward line in recent memory
I disagree on all 3 counts.Optimistic sure, but doable as well.
The more I think about it the more I think we will get 9 & 10 for Bolton which will actually be 10 & 11.
Freo fans seem to happy to let 9 & 16* go, majority of us still think 9 & 10 is unders for Bolton as it's not a top 5 pick.
I always think something inbetween if that's the case.
If we get 10 & 11 watch the vulture clubs come in with ridiculous (laughable) offers to try and pry one of those picks from us.
IMOCare to share why?
Should be the first deal of trade week then. Can't think of any excuse why it shouldn't be.
This trade could end up being quite complicated. I could be talking out my arse but Freo will want two first round picks in this draft to meet the 2 in 4 years rule (if it still exists). They haven’t used a first pick in 2022 or 2023 so I believe they must take 2 over 2024/25.
They will want to position themselves to be able to get Warner next year so they won’t want to be locked into using a first pick.
They may be able to trade 17* and 27 for Sydneys two firsts, or upgrade 27 in a player trade. They would be hoping Port lose to Hawks this weekend to increase that picks value.
The trade for us could become complicated if they want pick 20 from us or similar, or if we are looking to get more than picks 9 and 10 for Bolton.
We could end up doing a trade like Bolton + 20 for Picks 9, 10, 27 and their future second. Of course we would have to obtain pick 20. Or we could trade them 22 for 27 and they on-trade that with 17 for Sydneys first two picks.
The permutations are all over the place for our trades.
Interesting how Matt Clarke acknowledged Baker’s value as a player & club leader and the Eagles gap in that age range to support older players they have…. On Gettable.
They used 2 first round selections in 2021 (8 & 10), None in 2022 & 2023.
So, they have already completed the 2 picks in 4 years rule going into this year. They just need to make sure they use their other 1st rounder this year or move it into next year. So, posts about us getting 3 1st rounders for Bolton is fantasy.
Hence my earlier suggestion of 6 and 20 for Rioli.They used 2 first round selections in 2021 (8 & 10), None in 2022 & 2023.

Now that Bolton has nominated them, they are solely focused in getting him. Freo wont risk losing Bolton just because they might get Warner the following year, it's more the supporters who are still thinking about Warner. Freo no different to us in our successful period, they would have a number of names targeted on a list and work through them knowing they won't get them all.I meant meeting the rule next year if they trade their first away for Warner and their 2025 first. If they used two late firsts this year they don’t have to worry about having a first next year. That rule is stupid though.
Yet WC fans in all their wisdom dont want him, dip shits.Interesting how Matt Clarke acknowledged Baker’s value as a player & club leader and the Eagles gap in that age range to support older players they have…. On Gettable.
