Wouldn’t even worry about itThese new rule changes will make it harder for us to swap our late picks for a 1st rounder. I'm going to be pissed if Kane gets her way and it comes in for 2024 draft.
It will mean those teams who have a F/S or academy player will be less like to trade their 1st pick to us because they will need a 1st rounder to acquire the player. It plays into the hands of those teams with late first rounders and 2nd rounders more than if your near the bottom of the ladder as your not going to trade down.
Our club will need to upgrade our 2nd and 3rd round picks to a current top team to secure their late 1st rounder.
What I can see happening is the 2nd round picks will become extremely valuable as those teams trying to get enough points need them so it could be possible to acquire a 1st rounder next year for 2 current 2nd rounders etc.
Trying not to but reading articles the AFL is pushing for it this year, they are as corrupt as it comes so when they want something they just do it anyway.Wouldn’t even worry about it
No chance the rules come in for this years draft
The clubs simply wouldn’t allow it
I just think there will be far to much pushback from both the clubs and the aflpa because it will change a draft that clubs have already planned aroundTrying not to but reading articles the AFL is pushing for it this year, they are as corrupt as it comes so when they want something they just do it anyway.
At the end of this year, if the expected retirements occur and we dont trade anyone we will have Baker, Lynch, Graham, Nank and Vlas. Realistically, I have only seen Baker, Lynch and Vlastuin be able to continually stand up and put the team on their backs. We lose Baker and lynch gets injured again then we really only have Vlas on the field.We have leadership in the club like Ivan Maric, Stev Morris and multiple other players still left on the list. Leadership doesn't normally cost you a top 10 pick.
Cats would want a first round pick and a holiday house or a hobby farm on the Great Ocean Road. Given how many players they have recruited on unders they must be running low on propertiesWorth a phone call to Shannon Neales management? Dropped again for Hawkins. Wont get a game as long as he and Cameron are at the cats. Solid numbers at VFL level.
They won't have pick 6. That's the Pies pick, and will drop down the order as they recover from their slow start to the year.Freo currently pick 6, 11 and 16. I hope we aggressively target pick 6, even if we have to give them an early 2nd round pick back plus Baker.
Say Baker and 24 for pick 6. Then if we can bundle up the other 2nd and 3rds to Blues for their first pick, as it stands, we'd have picks 4, 6 & 13 in the draft.
Yeah I didn't realize. Could still end up a top 10.They won't have pick 6. That's the Pies pick, and will drop down the order as they recover from their slow start to the year.
Even the AFL will surely not change the trade/draft on the fly?I just think there will be far to much pushback from both the clubs and the aflpa because it will change a draft that clubs have already planned around
I’m sure the afl are probably pushing for it to a degree but not as much as the articles are suggesting
Brace yourself.I would be gutted if he leaves. He is a heart and soul player and I love watching him play in a non compromising way. For me if he does leave it would be like if we saw Richo or Jack leave the club.
Nah they can just give us pick 6 and probably a fringe playerFreo currently pick 6, 11 and 16. I hope we aggressively target pick 6, even if we have to give them an early 2nd round pick back plus Baker.

Way too far overs for Baker. If any of the large numbers being thrown around are true then they value him at a 2 first rounders at a minimum.Freo currently pick 6, 11 and 16. I hope we aggressively target pick 6, even if we have to give them an early 2nd round pick back plus Baker.

If any of our players want to leave, I wouldn’t stop it. We want players to want to be apart of our success to come.the AFL is a professional world now (except Essendon)
If Baker wants to go home, the Tigers wont cry about it and will get a fair deal for him.

The only chance we have of getting two first rounders for Liam Baker is if Freos 1st round picks tied to Pies and Port end up being late first rounders and we swap them for Baker and a pick. Eg ~15 & ~16 for Baker and 24.Regardless what anyone thinks, Baker is our Vice Captain and getting offered a huge salary in a trade.
Cost is the same we paid for Taranto who was also out of contract.
Two 1st rounders, which is the equivalent to a top 5 pick. One or the other.
Shouldn't accept anything else.
That is just not realistic at all.Nah they can just give us pick 6 and probably a fringe player
Vice captain, 2 time premiership player in his prime.... I'd say it's very realisticThat is just not realistic at all.
I hope you blokes take Freo to the cleaners but it’s going to land on their middle 1R pick.Vice captain, 2 time premiership player in his prime.... I'd say it's very realistic
Maybe if he was contracted. He is not.Vice captain, 2 time premiership player in his prime.... I'd say it's very realistic
That was exactly my pointThat might sound stupid but it may not be. The suns don’t need early draft picks so maybe they would hand over three picks for Rioli as long as we gave pack enough points for their academy kids
Why should we give anything back ??Freo currently pick 6, 11 and 16. I hope we aggressively target pick 6, even if we have to give them an early 2nd round pick back plus Baker.
