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? ;)

Edited by SFebes

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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
