Still waiting for WC to make an offer. Lamb said he was going to have meetings with WC a couple days ago and no potential offer has come out of that. Even the proposed pick splits (2 --> 8 and ports F1) don't seem to help us at all.

Only 15 for a b&f winner who is in his prime is just pure disrespect lol. And then trading it away for a few seconds. They're not even trying.

Wc will still have pick 2 in the psd

Only think making me feel slightly better about these negotiations so far is that dogs are getting shafted so much worse. 26 year old who just won their b&f and Brisbane aren't even offering a first for him.

Even if he needs to stay in WA and doesn't play a single game for them, they're still going to be turning a nothing pick into at least one first rounder.

Just on that - the future 2 is right after Norths pick. So the highest it could be is pick 20. NM would still have 19 if they finished bottom.

Plenty of outgoing players too. Surely they could've factored this deal in when they were making their other trades? Instead the only thing of note they have from three players leaving is Norths PP2nd

Weird that their GM is in charge of trades is it not?

I'm an eternal pessimist. If I convince myself and everyone that we'll get screwed in this deal then I'm sure I'll be happier with what the actual deal ends up being. It's a good way to live life.

Also does anyone know if Bell is in charge of their list management when it comes to the actual trades? Because he's not their actual list manager is he.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
From what I've heard it was true at the time, but they had just lost Lachie Neale and bell had been doing the job for about 2 weeks so there was pressure from the CEO and coach to get their "big fish" so Bell went back.

West coast haven't made an offer yet because LJ doesn't want to go there (as it stands, they've literally said it in their own words), and all parties know that.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
Yeah they won't accept that. They've already made their agenda very clear to the media. Essentially their standing on "no player has ever been traded for 2+ firsts without something coming back". No way they add a pick 20 just to get back something like pick 50
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
No way its those three picks without AT LEAST our F2 and F3 next year going back.
-

Him only signing 1 year after his initial contract was a red flag. Almost all draftees sign 2.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
That's the thing. We've got nothing to stand on here. WC haven't put up an offer to us, they haven't even convined LJ to join them. If this trade gets done it's going to be us who cave, because we're not going to let him walk to the PSD for nothing. Everyone knew he wanted to go home last year. He should have requested his trade then right after his grand final performance where his value was at its highest. Fremanlte had pick 6, 8, and 19 last year.

We could've held Hogan to his contract though so it's different. There was an element of us wanting to get rid of him.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
I'll be honest it sounds like bs. No one, not even fremantle, can afford 1.5mil a year.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
That part is true. Don't think we ever see multiple firsts without SOMETHING coming back.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
Latest update from Twomey says fremantle aren't budging on their initial offer. No west coast offer yet either.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
I'd like to think we package it with one of our (or freos) F1 to move up this year
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
I'm pretty sure everything at this point is just what's going back to freo. They've offered up 13, F1, north's F2 which I think were happy to take, but they want at least one current or future second rounder coming back.

Farewell Luke Jackson
I read an article where the wce list manager said they hadn't put up on offer for LJ bc they were "waiting to see what the player wants" which tells me that he actually has no desire to go there
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
It'll be with futures. They're stacked next year.

Since when did "turning down the opening offer" become 'playing hardball'
