Game Day 2022 Trade Period Match Thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Thanks for making this an awesome trade period peeps. Will be locking this thread later tonight

 

[Superkoops]

44 will probably come in to about 40 with Brissies F & S picks

Will prob end up something like:
31, 41, 58, 64

And if he doesn’t want to earn below a million a season? He has quite the ego and that’s already a 200k paycut

Lol the Fyfe haters are pathetic

what a load of tripe.

 

[Alfonz]

Back up rucks are not worth much. Despite people claiming Meek was worth a 2nd, many clubs have guys leading the ruck who they got for a packet of chips (Hickey, Cameron, Pittonet, etc).

Meek isn't worth much more than the F4 we got back considering Hawthorn look to be tanking hard and might win the spoon.

Can be viewed as getting O'Meara for a pick in the 30's. Have concerns with his longevity, but it is a reasonable trade.

Don’t think so. No one is offering him a substantial contract after this. He’ll be loyal

I'm relatively pleased with our incoming player haul, but as I've previously stated, the absence of Lobb within the forward line, cannot be understated! I simply cannot see Amiss and Treacy having the means and nous to replicate his goal scoring output
This is through no fault of their own though, as they're simply not at that stage of their development curve. Oh, and my final query, is who will act as the back-up ruck that waits in the wings, when Sean Darcy inevitably injures his knee?

Here's the thing re Lobb & goals. He's the giant to Lachie Schultz's midget, the visible head-and-shoulders above the field pack you'd kick to first up 'cos you could see him, for starters. Yet he kicked only 6 goals more than little Lachie - 36 v. 30 goals for 2022. Think on that (as I hope Freo do and for heaven's sake give Shoota a decent contract!!)

Put another one or two tall targets in F50 - Treacy as bodyguard to Amiss, say - and I reckon we'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

We have the best media team in the business

I’m actually going to miss Meek too. What a quality young man.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Sorry, had. Busy day! Are we melting?

We're always melting

 

[wakojako]

2023 ND: F2 (North), F3 (North), F3 (Carlton), F4 (North)

Good trade period but that's a ******* horrendous hand next year

If we traded for peak C Judd for pick 15, there would be people on here melting

Didn’t think anyone would offer Logue 750k either, things happen

 

[vidwhal]

Fair enough to you man, but I don't know how you can back the club in when this is objectively s**t list management.

Sorry, but you mean subjective.

Before last year Lobb missed more games than Tabs. Why can't tabs get his body right with our new fitness team after another year of sorting things out?

Things can change, I recon we'll be alright and have smart enough coaches to move the whiteboard and get it done. Look at our game vs GWS without any talls.

I reckon Tabs has a chronic lower back injury, same as myself. I don't think he'll recover from it, but that's just comparing to myself.

 

[muzzington]

Miss you Meeky

Best of luck to him

Treacy has been pinch hitting ruck in the wafl at times, can he cover? Big prob if darcy and luke out at the same time.

 

[FreoRicci]

Just weird. The way Bell and Walls approach things in the first week then the second.
Don’t want to offer anything substantial for Acres at 26 yet JOM probably comes across on a similarly contract then what Blake will on at Carlton.

 

[Kram]

Juergen ******* O’hara

WTF

I knew it was only a matter of time before the real Freo returned but I was hoping for just a year or 2 more of pretending we knew what we were doing

Horrible horrible week

I know.

Here's a present to make you feel better.

Good trade period but that's a ******* horrendous hand next year

Is it? Add a F4 from Hawks, Gold Coast have 2 academy kids next year, Sharp is OOC. Guess who will be wanting some later picks?

Big problem for literally any club if their first 2 rucks were out at the same time...

Yes but Acres is a knob and they wanted him out

Except hawthorn are still paying for most of JOM’s contract

Mate, I watched that at the stadium and it was painful as feck.

The difference is Blake is a little bit of a campaigner (who doesn't stay and try and hit the performance targets?) and JoM supposedly a top bloke. We very obviously rate a lack of campaignerness very highly.

O'Meara is a superior player and the Hawks are paying for him to play here
