If Bolton sooks and plays terribly (which is highly likely) we end up suffering because his currency will plummet.
Fact is we are trying to play hardball with Freo over a guy we actually don’t want and would rather trade him in for picks. Bolton also would rather go for family.
This is called a bluff, whether Freo falls for it or not is up to them. It’s going to be a game of chicken until the last days of the trade period. Hope we don’t blink first and Freo are desperate enough to contend that they’ll pay a fair value for Bolton.
Why would anyone even want him then? Maybe because they'll still know what he's capable of and only played poorly because he didn't get to where he wanted to go.If Bolton sooks and plays terribly (which is highly likely) we end up suffering because his currency will plummet.
What kid was he talking about?Liked what Hartley said in the presser right at the end.
No current season stats available

I don't see how he can sook if we tell him that we didn't want to pay any part of his wages whilst playing for another club, and what Fremantle offered was not worthy of a player with a contract such as Bolton has at the Tigers.
I think we'll end up keeping Bolton if we don't get 3 first rounders for him.
Hahahaha where'd he say that?No compensation for Graham according to Cal Twomey. WTF?
Where did he tweet that? i see nothing.No compensation for Graham according to Cal Twomey. WTF?

Reckon we'll get band 4 though. Campaigners.
Take this to the injury threadLefau did a ACL in June. it takes 12 months
Clarke did a ACL in mid April. It takes 12 months
Young did a ACL in May. It takes 12 months.
These guys will do sfa for us in 2025. will be lucky to put together 10-15 games between them with 1/3 of those actually being any good. trying to come back decent in a team with no protection or quality is a road to nowhere
With crap like that I can understand why Freo might try and believe some are pushing Bolton out the door which is not the case at all!!
Fair point! Although I think maybe I have misunderstood what point you were making. I thought because you said they will be on an LTI that we'll have more picks available, but I don't believe that's how the system works. As far as I can tell the LTI decision can only take place after the drafts (but before the SPP)
I loved the way he gave absolutely nothing away!!It was a stupid question !
A good negotiator does not air his position until the time is right.
Tomorrow 5:30pmWhen do we find out the Graham compo?
Take this to the injury thread
stop clogging up this thread with rubbish
Hard to beat Noble going to the Suns.Pick 2 would be the biggest story of the trade period in 10+ years. And I'll join you in getting hammered!
You campaignerMade it up.

Are you crazy? All those picks near 1500 points for pick 20, 912 points from Brisbane and they’ll expect no bid for Ashcroft which save them 600 points. 2100 points for 912. Glad u don’t do trading. Add 1 more pick and demand 20 + their F1. We have them by the balls. No trade bid on Ashcroft at 1 and Marshall inside top 15. Marshall is a gun.Reckon we'll end up with:
1, 6, 11, 12, 14, 20, 24, 29, 75
Trading:
Bolton and 42 for 11 & 12
Baker 14
Rioli 6 & 29
Graham 42 (compo)
picks 32, 43, 50, 60 and 69 for pick 20
I'd be open to seeing what picks 24 and 29 could bring in terms of F1's for next year.
He was asked just beforehand about Ashcroft but his comment was more about would we bid on players and his response was that we would bid according to where we have them ranked, thats how the system should work.What kid was he talking about?
