Makes the Tyson and Pick 9 ( Salem ) deal for Kelly's pick 2 look pretty sick now, in hindsight. Tyson will probably be gone this trade period.

Guess I won't see him at the local cafe anymore.

There was talk of Freo swapping pick 4 if Neale is traded, or 5 for picks 9 and 10, I think with Port. If we trade Jesse for say 4 and 5 why cant we do that trade. We then would have 5 , 9 and 10. We could use 10 in a trade and have 5 and 9 in the draft to take top end talent. You could then end up with 3 players for Jesse.

Ridiculous. You value him less than Lever, Gibbs at 29 and Wingard. First two were 2 first rounders and Wingard is being placed in the same category, a hot and cold flanker.

GC will take Lukosius and Rozee who are good mates as well to try and keep them up there.

To me Gaff is gone from WC as if he was staying he would be announcing it now, to give them a lift for the GF. I would think that on monday or tuesday he will announce his preferred club. According to Pro Dee's source that will be the Roos. That will see a few dominos start to fall, as for one, the Eagles will be into Kelly, the Cats' one, big time. This is going to be an interesting 3 weeks.

Is Paul Salmon still playing?

Is this the trade thread, because that is all I am interested in at the moment?

And Cerra has just extended his contract and won’t be cleared.

Maybe he is the closest we can get to an American giant, who can play forward or ruck.

May will be 27 in January. Probably has 4 seasons in him. He is 193cms and that is not big for a key defender these days. He is averaging only 15 games a year over his 8 years. He is not quick and will get slower. I am not sure he is the best bet. Would we better placed, if trading Jesse, to ask for their early 2 first rounders, if Neale goes and Alex Pearce, maybe clearing Kent back home in the deal?

We are in the box seat and Freo are desperate.

Lovely post.

Exactly what I posted.

As long as we are not the ones stuffed, leave it to the turkey.

Yep it is but you have to try. Well Lever was 2 high picks at the time and Jesse is worth more as a key forward who can play in the midfield, than a sweeping defender. Personally I want to keep him, but we are talking on the basis he wants to leave.

With cranberry sauce.

It's not GC's pick it would be Lions' if they get Neale and give it to Freo. After GC gets 3 for Lynch it would be 5 & 6 if that was the scenario. I would want both and try to keep both and find a player and a later pick to satisfy GC for May. Then we are in for some chance at exciting talent.

Finally we get a realistic assessment. I would want their first pick and the Neale pick and Brayshaw, with which we might get May for one of those picks. Then the deal would be May, a top rated young player and Brayshaw. That is what a smart club would achieve. Hogan cost us 2 top picks and we have stood by him, as he has developed through a lot of lost games through injury and illness and is now entering his best years and he is contracted. I want a great deal IF he wants to go, or forget it. The Dockers are desperate for a big fish to calm the members and he would be a whale.

Rancey, Rancey oh Rancey.

I think these days the clubs see if any interest and if none then delist. They all do it.

Have to clean up my puke.

All the players listed above your last line have no future with us.

Good.

Who is the younger mid that will be a FA like Gaff and not cost us another 2 first round picks? Different scenarios.
