If Freo can't find the picks to do the deal do we target one of their players?

Realistically, who might that be? 

Let's leave Brayshaw, Serong and Young out of the mix because that's not going to happen

    The three or four good players they have are all contracted til around 2036

    The others are Mundy (retired) & Fyfe (cooked)

    Probably Meek or some dork like that

    If we keep Jackson, Grundy and Gawn we could trade Maxy for an electric powered Jag. (Current model) and still retain some zip out of centre bounces.

    Just checked and signed a deal till 2026 a couple months ago. If we target someone it would be someone like Henry or Meek or some other fringe player. I'd like Treacy but they've got no forwards so I can't see that happening. I honestly think Lobb would give us a better shot at a flag than Grundy too.

    I had a look at their players and feels like they’ve signed most of their core.
    Ever heard of this bloke? Me neither 

    I don’t care who you are that’s one of the more impressive highlight reals I’ve seen in a while

    21 year old and 199cm key forward..

    Just looked at his wafl stats, seems like he played in reserves for most of the year, and wasn't particularly impressive. Was going at 3 goals a game in the WAFL before being picked up midseason so could be something there though.

    It would be great if Hutchy could spout the nonsense again about walking LJ to the PSD. Will at least put WC in the headlines

    Freo currently have 13, F1st, North F2nd, North F3rd.

    If Lobb to Dogs, say 25.

    Maybe Treacy as steak knives and we have another young key forward.

    Deal done.

    Would give us say 13, our pick 18, 20 and 38 next year, in a strong draft and with picks to draft or trade.

    This year 13 and say 25 ( Lobb ) and say 35 for Bedford.

    We could bundle 13, 25 and 35 to get 2 slightly better picks and use them this year. You might get say 10 and 20.

    See how easy it is.

    We haven't got those really high picks, but we have got enough for this year and next.

    A motley collection of mid range picks for a generational pick 3.

    I know we will be screwed but please let's not sugar coat it

    Come on down Eagles !!!

    Are you saying Jacko for all of that?? I assume this is a joke.

    Melb In > 13, 25, F1st (Freo), F2nd (North), F3rd (North) and Treacy
    Freo In > Jackson

    There's no way Freo would do that.  I know the pick values can be misleading but that equates to Pick 1, Pick 8 and Treacy (when they have as many young key forward options as we do)

    Agree that deal is absurd.
    We must get in 13, their future 1st and north’s future 2nd. We could throw back a future 3rd (or future 2nd at a stretch)

    Well, you also can’t move all of your future picks either (in Freo’s case).

    They must maintain a presence either in the first round, or the other rounds, for next year. Stupid confusing rules, but they’re there.

    How about...

    Jackson and pick 44 to Freo for pick 13, Future 1st, and (North's) Future 2nd

    Picks 13 and 27 to Geelong for pick 7 - Geelong use 13 for Bruhn

    Grundy to Dees for Freo's (North's) future 2nd

    Dees trade 7 and our future 2nd to GWS for 15 and 19

    Dees end up with Grundy, 15, 19 and future 1st for Jackson, 27, 44 and a future 2nd

     

    No you already traded 27

    I still can’t see how Freo can give us an acceptable deal for LJ. This will drag right out into next week 

    Agree Sir They are struggling and have nothing to trade

    That is the biggest load of garbage, there is no way he is going to the PSD.  That reporter is being lies by the WA clubs or he is just making things up.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
