Picks 48, 57 and a future 12th rounder from Freo for Pickett, Ralph reckons 

 

 

 

 

I was thinking a 3rd rounder for Henry...more like it

I was a huge fan of his draft year.

Plays that outside mid/half forward role and would certainly compliment Kozzie well on field.

Henry’s yet to play any role at afl level with success and hasn’t looked up for the physicality.

He’s still young and might improve but he’s far from a priority at the moment. His best trait might be his kicking and he might end up a half back rather than a wing or forward. 

Also I’m all for being pragmatic, if Henry does make Pickett stay then maybe it’s worth it, but it’s a little insulting to Kossie to suggest he’d make a decision purely based on bringing in a friend. 

Seems to be more common with Indigenous players too. No one was saying we should trade for Trey Ruscoe to get Jacko to stay

This is dribble........ a nothing story only designed for the eyes of tragic like us.  Pure speculation, nothing exciting, it the creation of news by the journalist.

He is worth more than LJ and after paying overs for LJ, I just can’t see Freo doing the same thing for Kozzy - particularly when they have other youngsters who’ll be demanding some of that pie. 

Power have nothing to trade with as a future first ain’t going to do it. 

Would he go to WC or Adelaide? 

Hopefully just posturing and he’ll sign before season starts.

Got no idea how Jon Ralph has a job. When they go to him on Fox I turn the TV over!

Made up dribble is what I say.I do believe with Byron back in WA , Kossi May go back there, but, later on.I think he will sign either a two/3 year contract to stay before round 1- I hope I am wrong and signs for 6/7.

There was some mention during the trade period last year that Henry might become part of the Luke Jackson trade but it came to nothing. You would think if the Kozzie-Henry friendship meant as much as is being implied in this “news” then the club would surely have tried a bit harder to get Henry across at the time.

At this stage, 3 more years plus this year, being the next four years, would be fantastic news.

Rivers is Jackson's best mate and that didn't stop him from leaving. So this notion of bringing Henry to make Kozzi stay is fugazi. If i was him I would be weighing up playing finals consistently over the next 5 years and becoming a star player ala "Cyril" that could possibly play in several more Premierships or go to lesser club in West Coast or Adelaide who are years away from contending for a Premiership. Freo and Port simply don't have the picks to get Kozzi unless they throw in a Young/Serong or a Dursmaa/Georgiades which they simply won't do.

But, seriously, we already have Fremantle's first and second round picks for 2023, don't we?

They've got some later exchanged picks from North but are basically out of the top-20 picks.

Getting Liam Henry to the Demons is certainly worth considering. Not delivered much yet but the Freo goalkicking group includes Frederick, Walters & Schultz who combined for about 90 goals between them, as well as plenty of other lighter-bodied speedy types rotating through.

Given that I'm convinced a dedicated fast small defender is something we should be looking for anyway, the suggestion that he could make the positional switch seems sound to me. He's also a pretty good run-and-bounce option to give us another way out of our half-back swamp.

He looked really good on the weekend from what I saw.

But prior to that has looked bog average. An interesting one...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
