I would love Hayden Young and he would be a fantastic long term replacement for Salem when his career is over.

However, he just signed a long term contract with Freo and clearly won’t be going anywhere.

I think you'd be surprised. If it's the only way to get Jackson, and freo decide he's worth more to their future than young... then he'll come home.

I can’t believe how poorly he played this year.

The worst part is he cut the guts out of his trade value.

Relax . What will he get paid at Freo?

Rising Star winner, Premiership player, very young , a player we we were looking to build our team around and you suggest he has limited trade value ?

I don’t think so. 

This bloke arguably has the greatest currency value ever afforded in the competition.

Refer Kelly, Cameron.

How do you know LJ is demanding anything other than potentially wanting to go to his home state? He has no say in what Freo are willing to offer him contractually.

Come on, let's not be nuffies about this.

Yeah…. You’re probably right he isn’t demanding the lucrative contract. Freo went and offered top dollar from day one, forcing current players off their list including a club champion with no negotiation from the Jackson camp. 
 

You may think I’m being a nuffie but you’re living in la la land if you really believe this move has nothing to do with the cash.

Bye bye Lukey

That isn't what I said. I said he didn't set his own wage demands...

If Freo offered salary X and LJ came back asking for salary X+100k that is exactly what he is doing.

You're entirely speculating with no facts. "If" is a pretty important word in your post.

I hope LJ does go. We need to plug some holes desperately.

I don’t see what the issue is with that. LJ has given us nothing this year. I am starting to think there’s a chance that he may never live up to his potential - so better to cash out now whilst the offers are high. I may eat my words in a few years but we all saw first hand how the Weid fizzled out. If we can get Grundy and a good KPF from the draft then that’s a massive win IMO.

 

i trust if there is anything wrong with Grundy medically then we’d back out. Don’t need a mother BBB on our hands.

Grundy is a big risk, and we would be doing a favour to the filth.

Wouldn't it be better to transform Weideman into the second ruckman?

Use the assets we get from LJ to look for some other much needed positions? Say a CHF or small forward?

Only to open up another if he does go.

Jonny Ralph said at half time 5 Freo players will request trades this summer. I’m almost certain he said that - anyone confirm?

One was Liam Henry who isn’t getting a game and has enough talent for us to look into him as part of the trade. God knows we need some fwd creativity

Twitter today was saying Lobb, Logie, Acres, Meek.

Would certainly consider Henry and Acres. Acres has done well on the wing. We lack pace on the non-langers wing

I'd take Liam Henry in a heartbeat and play him deep forward with Kosi playing some more minutes at centre bounce next year.

If Henry could bring consistent pressure then those two would be an enormous headache for opposition and if we got back to some more daring ball movement going forward, they could get off the chain.

Also brings incredible excitement to our forwardline which we're lacking badly.

He would be an upgrade to Melksham definitely.

Logue is a nothing player

Freo is out, so its  on.
