Gold Coast need Bowes off their books, not pick 7. 

I mean 13 for taking on Bowes. 
 

Gold Coast thought Bowes was so bad and expensive he required pick 7. Geelong are spreading his contract over 4 years and talking him up big time.

Pick 13 should probably get Bowes off, except GC have no concept of negotiation.

    Freo and GWS win big time in that deal

    Its bad enough as it is, but how did we lose Bedford for nothing?

    I am so disappointed that the club has come out and said we want 2 top 10 picks for Jackson and more than pick  44 for Bedford, and somehow we agreed to both deals that we didn't want.

    I am all for getting deals done, but this has really been a bad outcome unless something magical happens and we turn the Jackson picks into gold.

    I'm guessing 44 to Freo was from GWS. So the deal from Freo is effectively for Jackson AND Bedford?

    It’s done!  Finally! Bring on the draft and let’s move into 2023.

    Freo got a good deal, but also gave everything that they had to give; those expecting more were always going to be disappointed.  For all the talk, it really did turn out that he was always going to Fremantle and they knew it.

    Asides from letting him go to the PSD, the club did everything it could.

    Shocking outcome. Our haul is the minimum we should have received for Jackson let alone losing Bedford for essentially nothing. Pretty annoyed at this

    We got the best deal we could in the circumstances. Best to move on with our other business.

    We have a reputation for being fair to deal with. It's the right policy. Except when it comes to Freo. The next time we deal with them, and we have the leverage, we should screw them to the boards.

    Nah, Tim Lamb needs to come out and give a forensic account to us, the most important stakeholders in the organisation. It's an indictment on the FD that they signed off on this... 😂

    The amount of posters with greater expertise in negotiating on here amazes me 👌

    Reckon we preemptively screwed them with the Hogan deal...

    I'm happy we got something but I really think this needed to result in a pick inside 10. Really hope there's draft day action.

    People crying about the deal forget that he isn't in contract so our 'hand' was never as strong as it would have needed to be to get 2 top 10 picks or whatever the talk was about at the start of the trade period.

    Pick 13 isn't shabby

    I thought the AFL wouldn’t let you trade Futures in more than 1 round?

    Freo have North's future 2nd, so it's all good.

    Tim Lamb: Demands 2 x top 10 picks - one inside 7, won't trade Weideman, wants more than 44 for Bedford.......can we start a whipping ceremony now? ;)

    Bedford’s value was only ever to increase a second rounder up the order or a 3rd rounder.

    We got 2 firsts for Luke.

    We got half a 2nd for Luke, half for Toby.

    We gave up nothing else.

    Would’ve liked the full bonus 2nd rounder for Luke but Freo weren’t going to budge without something back.

    You can if you get one in. Freo got North’s for Logue

    Tim Lamb has really confused me with this.

    Don't talk a big talk if you can't back it up Tim..

    I'll go you one better, we need to assemble a panel of former MFC list managers and heads of the FD in the next 24 hrs who understand football and can hold Lamb accountable to his actions. In future they will also bar any trades that can't be justified, this will be known as the concil of MFC trading.

    We can only truly pass judgement at 8pm on Wednesday.

    Well maybe not until the 2023 draft and trading is completed and even then, maybe not until any draftees we take in 22 and 23 form is exposed, in another few years.

    Not sure how we went from saying we’d at least do really well out of this deal to this outcome.

    absolute scam job this.

    Because he was out of contract and no other club showed realistic interest in a player we did not see in our best 22 this year.

    Something else will bob up now I reckon, perhaps something we haven't expected much.

    We get deals done like this when we have something else to get on with I reckon.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
