If we get a future 1st from Freo, next years draft is meant to be a good one, better than this year, so it might work in our favour anyway

I reckon Freo will regress next year. Their future first may well end up being a top 10 pick

    Sheezel will go top 3. Every club after him.

    I'm surprised that there hasn't been any talk about involving a Freo player to Melb in the deal. I would be comfortable with receiving p13 and a player like Michael Frederick (drafted p60 from SA) who can play wing / HF. He has enormous potential . Sam Switkowski (p73 Vic. A little injury prone) or Lachie Schultz (p57 Vic) are two further players who could fill our HF needs.

    I know they are all under contract but Freo might come desperate if they can't come up with another 1st round pick to satisfy us. 

    On a side note Freo have really nailed their late picks over the past 4 years. Good on them.

    Don't think a player will be involved unless it's Meek. They've already got 5 players wanting out. They're not going to force any more out, especially those three. I don't know much about them but Frederick and Schultz destroyed us in our first meeting this year. Highly doubt Fremantle will even consider trading for them. 

    Would like us to ask the question of Meek though. Think he'd go ok as a replacement and could grow under Gawn's guidance.

    This. I really want their future first. They are losing a lot of their depth and seemed to be found out by the rest of the competition in the second half of the year.

    Imagine if we traded him last year, would we be within our means to demand a top 2 pick? Would have been fun to see teams break the bank over him.

    You never know when you might need a tape measure.

    I think we'll get two first rounders between picks 10 and 20 for Jackson.

    If you listen to Matt Rendell who's familiar with list management and trading, he states that the best and most professional clubs such as Geelong look for a win-win for both clubs as opposed to "I'm winning this trade and you're losing it". Clubs need to maintain a good reputation if they want to get a big trade done down the line.

    Geelong purchase a player at a commensurate price (eg - Cameron) and don't try and rip off the vendor when they trade out a player.

    My impression of our club is that we fit in the Geelong bracket of fair dealings, and therefore I'm not expecting a huge windfall from the LJ trade.

    We are also hamstrung by the fact that he's out of contract and had a poor season.

    And rumoured to be offered between $900k-$1m a year for 6-7 years.

    Yep, why would you expect to get much for a player that another club obviously thinks isn't that good?

    It's real 101 stuff isn't it! There's been tons of books written on win-win negotiation in business and it has clearly worked in AFL trading. Individual trades get put under the microscope a lot when it's really about the long run and you do want to pay it forward to an extent so you can manifest something down the treack if needed.

    I'd love to extract big time value for LJ but I would probably take those two picks at this stage. Have to remember the trade period is short and you're on the clock to make deals, no use turning up on the day and requesting pick 2 with the threat to walk.

    Yeah not sure about that. They traded Kelly for two first rounders, and pick 24 and pick 37. They screwed every last drop for that deal. many other deals have been free agency and deals in their favour. I don't agree with the win / win philosophy. more of a 'we win' strategy.

    These trade guys are great.

    Asked how will the deal get done, SOS gives no detail, but says he thinks it will get done.

    It is riveting stuff.

    If these guys were garbologists, the streets would be covered in rubbish.

    I wonder if the criteria for being a Trade Expert is, having seen a game of footy?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
