As always we don’t seem to be in the hunt for any big name players .. what is it about our club yet you hear cats, pies, even the saints seem to be in the hunt 

wtf are you talking about

this year we were near certs to get houston - the best player looking to move clubs by some margin - until such a time as our season collapsed in on itself

there's not that many 'big names' looking to move clubs; in truth, there rarely is

Really .. look at the players in the 2 sides today in particular the lions who were trading in..cats do it all the time, Houston  isn’t coming .. grant it we got lever & May .. but since winning the flag who?  Finishing top 4 last 3 seasons yet all of them are @ casey & delisted schache & retiring Hunter & let’s face it he was on his last legs

Could the Dees put an offer to Deven Robertson.  He’s under contract at Lions but with Lions having Neale, McCluggage, Rayner, Berry & Will Ashcroft, and adding Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall, he’s unlikely to get a consistent run in their midfield.   
 

At 23, Dees might see a spot for him.  He’s physically ready and tackles strangely.  We need a defensive type mid with good aerobic run.  Trac and Clarry got exposed this year on defensive clearance work.  Dees might also want to Trac to play forward/mid rotation. 

[Demon Disciple 12,120]

We need to improve our disposal out of the middle, Robertson takes it in the other direction

[spirit of norm smith 16,446]

Agree @Demon Disciple he’s skills are probably his weak point

I will rephrase it who have we landed in  the last 3 seasons that’s improved our list?

Was reported that he is looking to get to WA

No.

We have a defensive mid already in Sparrow.

Robertson is an absolute ball butcher and would be a terrible pick up.

All our starting mids are better kicks than Robertson.

Players who could arrive

Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph has also recently said the Demons could try and lure Leek Aleer, who has struggled to cement a place in Adam Kingsley’s best side, while the Demons could be a landing spot for departing Geelong premiership player Brandan Parfitt.

Freo will never have more picks. It'd be a tough pill to swallow but if this is gonna rear it's head every 12 months it might be time.

If your Fremantle you would be doing everything possible to get him. They already have a very talented team, underachieved big time this year. Get KP and Bolton and they should seriously be challenging next year. 
 

I hope he stays though.

Serious question. He has ties to both WA and SA, and has been linked to both states. He has a 5 month old baby now which puts a different slant on things, as many of us will appreciate.  He has stated he's homesick, but where is home?  If he states either/or, I would be less sympathetic.

[WERRIDEE 5,473]

Any clown that suggests Pickett should go to Freo are that CLOWNS! He's a Melbourne player and always will be can't let him go then we will truly be [censored] same with Trac had a disagreement it happens. He will be a Melbourne player.

[whatwhat say what 22,745]

flagmantle are using all their picks to bring in bolton and, if they can, baker from the tigs

Pick 5 and Kosi Pickett for Harley Reid is the bigger thinking idea we should be absolutely chasing if Kozi wants to leave.

 

Or if [censored] hits the fan, something along the lines of a following trade, but feel free to rearrange it as suits each team:

Carlton get Petracca

WCE get Pickett and Carltons pick 11, F1 and 29 

We get Harley Reid and Carltons Future 1st  Carltons Pick 29

Edit: WCE would want more so crossed out.

There is simply no way the Eagles let Reid go unless he is bashing down the door to get out, which if he is, isn't being reported.

This 'pie in the sky' idea would have to mean we've been in his ear all year, and he wants out but hasn't told anyone, I do agree with you there. 

Edit: Just saying we absolutely have to chase something big if we will ever entertain trading Pickett or Tracc this year!
