That doesn’t mean we have to say yes , it’s kinda what contracts mean . Papley wanted to leave swans once , they said gtfo. I’m not saying there are nil circumstances we’d do it , but the deal would wanna be overs , and that’d likely involve a player from freo most of the punters would wince at losing , we ll see where this goes , but it’ll be a fair bit more than a couple of lousy teen pics
U actually get over market value coz he’s contracted and we can say NO, bit like soldo , we got a pair of r2s , prob double his worth
better off getting picks in next years draft than a hundred late first/seconds in this one. from what I'm hearing it's a pretty shallow draft so no point going all-in this year when late firsts turn out to be duds.
We've been down cos we are have had to play too many kids. Half way through the year, this week we have named a team that actually looks like it could win.
** 5 day break & playing in Adelaide.
We start winning a couple and RFC fans outlooks will change.
Baker is more likely, given he's out of contract.
It’s the exact opposite from what I’m reading and hearing! Deep and even

Think trying to push the picks over a few drafts is better anyways
Let’s the club be more targeted with the specific players and needs as the list changes over the period and make informed choices off the early development of the players picked in the years prior and even what is also happening with the list overall with players getting older and slowing down earlier or other guys coming on strong from the rookie drafts or whatever
We may pick a couple of mids this year but once they are in an afl system they may look like turning into backs or visa versa
So at least over a few years it somewhat lessens the risk of getting a glut of a certain position leaving ourselves short elsewhere
I would much prefer a good 4 top 5 picks over 3 years over one top 5 a top 10 and a handful of late first rounders and early 2nds

J Amiss and 2 x 1st rounders in the teens is the only deal they could offer that I would even listen to for Bolton but I couldn't handle seeing PEAK Bolton in another jumper.

If we are talking pure value at the trade table he would probably be the highest on our list
25, all Australian, multiple top 5bnf finishes, contracted until the end of his career essentially and entering his prime years
If Rioli needs a godfather offer Bolton needs a godfathers godfathers offer

100% - cant blame Freo for trying, but I cant see it happening.

Yeah it absolutely makes sense essentially he is an upgrade/replacement for Walters as that xfactor match winner
Would actually be stupid if they didn’t at least have a crack
Load of shit
Brodie. Lol.
outside of top 5 its vanillasville, have a look at noobermenchs highlights packages, no point going hard to collect a horde of nothing picks this year.
If Baker goes as a FA on big money I wonder what our changes of R1 compo are/pick 2? The clubs can ask the AFL what the deal would result in and part of the negotiation could be adjusting the deal to ensure R1 compo.
Bolton I would be asking them to trade at least P10 + 13 so we can trade up the draft.
We have picks 2, 22, 33, 40, 41, 51, 58, 66, 71.
Brisbane (P6) and GC (P8) will need points for academy/FS selections.
Would trade picks 10 + 13, everything else 33-71 for picks 6 & 8.
Go to the draft with picks 2 (ladder), 3 (possibly Baker), 6, 8 & 22.
Would prefer to keep Baker but open to trading Bolton.

Baker is not a FA FFS PEOPLE!
In fairness to those picks.
1. Bowes taken by Gold Coast who have had that many picks they just pick names randomly off the board
2. Venables was a good player though, career cut short due to concussion. Eagles tend to know talent when they see it
3. Galliucci pick 15 ... maybe we just leave pick 15 to Freo? LOL
I'd do it just to troll our own supporters.
This board meltdown would be fantastic viewing.
In all seriousness though, unless Bolton says he wants out then it's not going to happen.

Went early last time on the Bolton resigning as was super confident in my source.Unless Shai has changed his position on living in Perth he stays in Melbourne or finds a home in another city but not perth
The quote from prior to his resigning was 100% he stays in Vic 95% its Richmond
Money talks! He's a bit selfish on-field, wouldn't surprise me if he considers the huge pay day elsewhere.
Perhaps we could trade him to WCE as part of a deal for Reid...
Settle petal!
More often than not they are busts. 2019 is the exception.
Also to say Freo won't do it, that is quite a guess. They know Bolton is contracted until 2028 yet are still going after him, so they know it's going to cost them a packet to get him.
You said it yourself Richmond hold all the cards here. Those 3 first rounders sound great on paper but they really aren't, that won't get Richmond across the line.

Erasmus way to early to make a call but not going great and if you look up plodder in the Macquarie dictionary there is a picture of Brodie….pass
???? Didnt realise I was talking about either player LMAO
Hmm, judging a draft on highlights is far from the best way to determine its strength. Our recruiters have been watching these kids for years and have indicated it’s a good draft. I think I’ll back them in, but time will be the judge as to how good this draft is.
