AFL trade wrap today says talks are progressing between Freemantle and GWS for Lobb and suggested the following swaps could be on the cards.

GWS give Lobb and Pick 14

Freo give Pick 11 and Pick 23

If that happens then I can see a trade happening for Hogan quickly with Melbourne receiving 5 and 14. We will possibly have to even out with some later pick swaps for Freo to be happy. Guess it's all dependent on Freo trading Neale and learning to not be a d!ck. So probably won't happen actually.

Didn't we come out and say we would have taken 5 & 23 had Freo not pulled the pin on Friday? If Negotiations resume I can't see us now demanding 5 & 14 (as much as us supporters would love that).

I'm not sure it was a smart idea for us to make that 5&23 claim in response to Bell's public tantrum. We probably did it to look like the sane and reasonable ones but it now might have damaged our position by showing our hand.

Are the undoubted king of biscuits, the veritable Arnotts Venetian, well placed upon this list, perchance?

Sorry. The list includes Oreos which by itself shows that the author lacks the experience, judgement and acumen to even know about a class biscuit like the Venetian.

but did we actually make that claim, or a journo just quoting another social media rumour?

Peter bell and Fremantle are right on the edge of turning the certain signing of a big fish into yet another missed opportunity all due to a breathtaking level of arrogance. 

If this falls through it will not only make Fremantle the laughing stock of the Comp, it will cause huge bad blood between Jesse and freo given freo promised to offer that pick 5 or 6 at the trade table and so far have back flipped on that.

Haha, to be fair it's until round 1 of next season. I believe that was the bet Binman? Also, Peter Bell would be worse

Yes on both counts. And I have to say big respect for sticking with the avatar.

Damien Barrett mentioned it when he and Wallace were ranting about the Freo and Bell Amateur Show. 

He interrupted the show and said something to the effect of "we've just been told that Melbourne would have taken 5 & 23 and not the 2 first rounders. 

Not 100% sure there is a direct quote but the way they put it it was as if it had come from the club.

I wouldn't give that much credence.  Sounds like they didn't say who told them?  Unless it is a quote from a JM interview or MFC press release I don't believe anything.

So if they are amateurs and do pointless things, does that increase the likleyhood it would affect our team?  Of course not. Unless you think we are amateurs too.

Oi vey. I'm not saying it will affect our team. I'm saying Fremantle are amateurish and dumb enough to think it could.

Nice try but not enough for the Crows to play along.

They actually come out 63 point ahead if they accept the deal (not to mention a higher pick for one of the SA boys).

Why aren't gaiety biscuits on that list?  (Perhaps the author is homophobic.)

The only list that malt 'o' milk should be on is a list of the worst biscuits.

Oreos are an abomination - as tasteful as the current POTUS.

If you want further evidence of Fremantle being amateurs at the trade table under peter bell... look at their pursuit of Tim kelly. The guy who says he doesn’t want to go there. They needed to hold their nerve and jump in on the last day when things were tight to have any chance. Played that card wayyyyyy too early

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
