We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo. 

He could be more happy in Melbourne, things change 💰

Nup. Never do. 

As I have noted many times i decided to stop getting caught up and wound up by players leaving  or rumoured to be leaving after being devastated and furious when Gerard Healy defected to the swans.

That decision has saved me much angst over the years - not least in the last six months with all the tracc, clarry and koz want out, where there's smoke there's fire nonsense.

If he goes, he goes. Just as I said about tracc we hold the whip hand in any negotiations so we'll do fine.

Depends what having him for 3 more years is worth, besides we could always demand a player back doesn’t have to be picks, on top of that if it’s just go home then why not wc 

Yeah, Harley Reid seems like a fair swap if Freo don't want to let go of Andrew Brayshaw.

We could take a leaf out of Peter Bell's book in his dealings with us for the Cerra* trade i.e. Freo' don't have the trade currency to entertain a discussion let alone a deal.

In Harry hindsight, I'm glad we missed out on Cerra and hope we miss out on Peter Bell for CEO.

They sure do. Let's see what happens. I won't be holding my breath. 

If he wants to go why can’t he go to the Eagles?

He might have to... just because he wants to go to the Dockers doesn't mean they can get a deal done with 2 years running on a contract.

If they finish top 8 this season their 1st pick won't be enough, however you would think the Eagles will be in the bottom 4.

I'm still hopeful he plans to stay for at least the next 2 years, but plenty of water to go under the bridge.

I also love how the media come out and speak as if its a fait accompli, completely ignoring the fact he's contracted and not a free agent. That's the way they operate these days though, because trade talk is the number one seller of news.

We hold all the cards in this deal. Freo about to get karma waved in their bthci faces

I have no idea if Bell wants the Melbourne CEO role, or whether Melbourne wants Bell. But, just for the purposes of this thread discussion, let's just say that's going to happen. How should Bell deal with this latest Pickett news/gossip right now?

Also talk that Freo are heavily into Ian Hill from Collingwood.

Norm Smith medallist that's getting paid a pittance with Collingwood ($400,000 per year)

If he met the height requirement he’d be overqualified!

Pretty obvious it's Michael Walters in the photo, who Kozzie looks up to. If he starts liking photos of Neil Erasmus, we'll know he's gone

I don't mind if he leaves.  It will accelerate the rebuild.

Good to know you don't read replies and reactions.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Why do you post a football fan forum?

Do you take the same approach to texts and emails?

Are you wanting other posters to make a note of some sort that you don't read replies and reactions?

Are you a bot?

Anyone who openly writes that they don’t read replies or reactions is admitting that that’s all they read - and that it really affects them. Try not to take the reactions to your terrible opinions too seriously…

No, I think a bot would offer better insights and interactions.
