In all seriousness, seeing Bolton officially don the purple for the first time has me so excited, to think that for years, the idea of Bolton running around in the field for us was a far fetched dream. Richmond were still in premiership contention, there'd be no chance Bolton chooses to come home when he's having so much success in Victoria right?
A few short years later, he's here with us, he's in purple where he mother****ing belongs, Fremantle is in Bolton's blood, he deserves this. Having him run around for us turns us into premiership contenders in my opinion, maybe I'm just high, but I can see him being a big on-field difference for us, and I for one, am going to sit back, and enjoy every single second of it.

Hope Narkle, Bolton and Wallsy are in Kozzi's ear all year
I'd be even more excited by him then I am with Bolton

Am I delusional to say that even without Kozi, the forwardline COULD be the best in the AFL in two years anyway. Treacy, Amiss and Bolton is a seriously elite top 3, not to mention Jackson and then more than handy role players in Sturt, Switta and Freddy that could be upgraded by Reid and Simpson...
Maybe GWS and Dogs pip us on paper. Adding Kozi makes it a no-contest IMO.

I think if you move Switta out of the forward line, and replace him with a small forward who can kick 30 goals then yes.
Just checked his stats, and 12 goals from 20 games last year is just not enough. 16 the year before, from 22 games.
Ideally I would like to replace Frederick, with a crumbing forward who also provides forward pressure to sit front and square of Treacy, Jackson and Amiss, but that is getting greedy.
Pickett would be ideal, but I think he is very hard to get.
Not sure if Bobby Hill is enough of an upgrade on Switta or Frederick, to make it worth while. 0.7 goals a game, but you lose in other areas e.g. pressure.

This is why 60+ goal forwards are so valuable. They take so much pressure off everyone else.
Interestingly, we are only 2 goals a game from Sydney.
But to get there is harder that what you would imagine.
Swap Walters for Bolton, and you go from 17 goals to 35. .7 goals per game roughly.
Swap Switta with Hill, and that is another .7 goals per game.
If you get swap Switta for Pickett, you get 1.2 goal improvement plus elite pressure and we are almost at 2 goals a game improvement
Then the rest should be incremental improvement plus a few more goals from the midfield.

Not remotely interested in Bobby Hill.
Pickett is a different story.
If Reid can come on quickly, his delivery to Amiss and Treacy is going to be something.
Pickett and Bolton at their feet…holy ****

I'm probably playing with my pink piccolo here but I reckon there's a hybrid Mundy/Sam Mitchell footballer in there somewhere.
His ability to weight his kicks perfectly for the forward to run onto is an underrated skill I'm sure Amiss and JT will be buying him many beers in the years to come.
They'll be licking their lips.
Part of me thinks Pickett is a pipe dream, that will never happen.
If he is available, then you can you pay what it takes.
If not Pickett, then who else?

Darcy Jones?
kozzi is basically locked already mate wdym pipe dream, did you not see he liked that insta post?
Pickett, who is widely known to have requested a trade here and tried to get here right until the last minutes of trade period is a pipe dream, but Hill, who’s shown no indication of wanting to be here isn’t?
Pickett will be in Purple next year, Warner will not.
The same guy, who reportedly asked for a trade to port multiple times, then did not follow through.
He is also under contract at Melbourne for 3 more years, so they would need to be willing to trade him.
I will be delighted if we get him.
