Do you say that from knowledge, or just opinion?

We don’t have to accept any Freo offer, that’s the point. A player we get, might be better than our current option and then is best 22. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a star. As an example, Larkey of the Roos is no star, but is better than our current options.

Well not sure you will get an accurate response, other than guesswork.

But we don't have to. I would insist on at least their first and if they get the Dog's 10 for Lobbe that one too. Or they can use theirs, the Lobb pick and Logue pick, to try and get a top 2 pick plus something back to them. It depends on what JT sees as our target in the draft. We could get Treacy, Meek and say 14 and 10. It is going to be an interesting trade period for us.

I know this could sound silly, but I just wonder if the club sees some deficiencies in LJ's game and accept that at some stage he would like to go home and see this as an opportunity to solve our key forward and ruck issues, by perhaps getting a key forward and ruck from Freo, plus a pick good enough to get another key forward in the draft. That could end up 3 players for one, who are all best 22 for us. Tom and BBB could be on their last year next year and that allows refreshing of the list. M.Brown will be gone and who knows what the plans are for Weid. JVR is still to play and that would cover our key forwards and rucks and we could still draft or rookie a young developing ruck. I believe that we do hold the upper hand with this deal, if it happens at all. IMO LJ will not screw the Dees. So unless Freo satisfies us, he stays for a couple of years, or maybe even longer if he feels Freo has let him down.

That to me indicates what I have said for a while. Jacko will go to Freo if we can do a deal and if not, will sign for a couple of years. IMO he is happy to return home if a fair deal can be done and if not, he will not be devastated to stay a couple of more years and then maybe try again or even stay longer. I think this is about an opportunity that may be available, but obviously cant happen until the season is over. Too much water to go under the bridge with various players and deals.

There is Treacy, the Vic Country boy, who is 19 and 195cms and tough and hard at the contest. Him, a top pick to try and get another key forward and Meek could do it. Solves most of our problems with losing one player.

Sorry everyone, I should have said 5-6 years instead of about 5 years.

Are they still confident of the double?

Players don’t have to work to supporters’ timetables. As much as we would like to know, it’s their lives.

What's the difference if Gus announces it on his podcast, instead of it being a tweet from Ralph, or McClure, or a breaking news flash from HS or the Age?

FIXTURE: Round 23, 2022
To have any realistic chance of a back to back flag, we have to get to a QF at the G, with close to our best side available. Given our last 8 games, I am not confident of that anymore.

It’s a big if. It’s said that we started our turnaround at a meeting pre season 2021 when everyone bought in to team first. Time for that meeting again.
