Yeah it does a bit but I do kind of see the logic, though I suspect if we drafted kelly we might have been playing this weekend. As good as Salem has been. I do wonder if the blues could be tempted into a trade say pick 5 and Tyson for pick 1 or some sort of variation of that to help us get Walsh in the door. The kid is fantastic! Would definitely soften the blow of losing Jesse if we could do that

Yep I think that’s a good plan! Pick 10 I think is also a fair deal for may. So head to the draft with a couple of top end picks and get in may! Or even package up 5,9 and chase another good player

5 & 6 or he stays... I bet you they will give both up. They’re that desperate

I don’t agree I suspect the pre season draft card will become a huge factor in 2019, if freo have another rubbish year as expected

Happy to pop picks 5&6 under the giants nose and see how confident they are kelly won’t leave next year. I think he will leave next year and we would be a chance to get him if we put a good offer to him.

Firstly the suns are bluffing about being willing to hang onto may. It’s not going to happen. And the pies first pick would be about 17-18 so they would have to include a player of quality to get it up to the value of pick 5 or 6 i personally don’t mind the idea of passing on pick 5 to the power for 9& 10 and allowing them to grab the Adelaide lad and offering pick 10 for may. This allows us to fill the key defensive void and either take 2 top 10 picks to the draft or bundle them up for a crack at some good players.

Yep I’m hearing that ballpark as well and 6 -7 years if you can offer a bloke a deal like that good luck arguing that player who is also contracted isn’t worth picks 5 & 6

I’m hearing the freo offer is pretty Insane $$ wise, similar ball part to the mooted gaff and Shiel offers

Couple of top end picks would go nicely as a starting point. Shame to lose Jesse though. Always had a feeling this might happen eventually sadly

The media has lost the plot. In what universe is chad Wingard worth 2 first rounders but hogan not?

Melbourne people not officially from the club are saying it’s not Melbourne driving this so it sounds like it’s not as though we are offering him up, he has said he’s open to a move if a deal can be done.

That’s his value, not what it’d take to get him. Saints seriously overrating their list

Don’t mind jack lonie. Straight swap?

Has asked to be traded to the saints.

Nah because we could convince him to stay or another club could get in his ear. They are desperate to sign a big name and will cough up to make it happen.

Kid is an absolute jet.

May significantly improves our side right now. He’s been high quality in an awful side and with us should rise to a new level.

In that scenario I’d want pick 6 and 9 but there is a bit of chatter they might also be keen on dean Kent. Not sure if that would be a seperate deal

I don’t mind the future pick idea anyways because I suspect freo will have an average year again. Get a top 5 pick this year and next year have two first rounders and a strong position to chase a free agent

Bet you we do, and if that’s not what the club demands they aren’t serious. He’s contracted so freo can pay up or F off

Such as?

Maybe not but if hogan wants to leave you’re tossing up a better deal now or a compo pick potentially next year

Roosy reckons we should just refuse to trade him.

I think Watts they knew they’d get the player they wanted and lever they knew they were going to have to give up 2 to get him. I’m willing to bet we get two for Jesse

I’d accept brayshaw and their first rounder for hogan.
