If he's leaving then I would love for this to happen as long as we land May and a pick around the same as we would have got from Freo.

And I don't think there would be any ill feelings from the club or the boys. The Dees and us just want fair compensation so we can improve our list. I'm positive that Freo still want him, warts and all. They just want their cake and to eat it too. The Weller deal last year has them thinking that you can always get away with murder at the trade table.

This isn't about them not wanting Jesse all of a sudden. It's about getting something for nothing. I wish we could go dodgy eBay seller on them and give them their win by accepting the second rounders but then send them one of those blow up Jesse dolls and then not return their emails.

If there is any truth to the GCS rumour we'll get there before tea on Monday.

If you have another picture or saying to go with it I'll be happy to oblige.

If true we must really want May/really not want Jesse/Jesse really not want us/really want to [censored] with Freo.

This can't be real.

I like your optimism but care to explain how this is possible without the Jesse deal landing a low pick?

We will not be adding May now unless you can find a low first round pick lying around.

I'm not sure if they make their shows into podcasts. They occasionally post clips to social media so if I see this particular discussion on Freo I'll post it here.

Probably make it within the hour.

Definitely Wednesday at 8:30pm

Half a week. Ends Wednesday 8:30pm in time for the Demonland Podcast Trade Wrap Up Show featuring an interview with former Demon CEO Peter Jackson.

Does Toumpas have a brother they could take with pick 5. Too soon?

I'll also add that it seems he really wants out and will probably be swooped up by someone else in this trade period despite seeming to want to come to us. Given our poor pick status we just aren't in the hunt now.

He's still a contracted player. Same situation as Jesse at the moment. The difference is May is a free agent next year so we can pinch him for free then if he's still available and we're still interested and he still wants to come to us.

I can't wait to screw them over when making a play for Andrew Brayshaw in a couple of years.

Fair enough but do we really want another year out of the race for topping up on young talent.

The deal is cooked without pick 5. Time to move on.

I thought we can't use our 2019 first round pick due to the rules of not trading more than 2 in a 4 year period (unless getting AFL approval to do so).

He's asked them to trade him to Brisbane ASAP. I'm paraphrasing but he doesn't want to be there.

That's a fair call. Given the events of today I think this will get done first thing Monday.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of Freo's motivation. Cutting their nose to spite their face in order to "teach us a lesson".
