I dont think Freo should give away the farm for Pickett who is basically just Shai Bolton. Both clever small forwards who rotate into the middle. Would I be able to fit him in, yeah sure, he is a very good player.

But we already have the triple Js, Sturt and Freddy, Bolton, Murphy, Switta and the Wombat. Thats 9 forwards, not including Banners and Son Son.

Personally I would prefer to try and take the Unicorn out of the forward line and recruit a mid height mobile tall (Gunston/Fritsch type) because Sturty is no guarantee to ever get that body of his in good shape.

Giving away 3 firsts for Pickett, Im really not sure about. Sometimes Freo just need to learn to walk away.

Two firsts in effect, they got pick 14 in return (17 after shenanigans - father sons etc) and picked up Murphy Reid.

We paid a lot for Jacko.
Paid overs for Shai.
We need to pull our ****ing heads in.
 
We have three first rounders to use. Literally no player is worth that.

First rounders are not all equal. These are picks that would be projected to be mid/late teens and even into the 20's. Maybe 30's for the 2027 draft that Tasmania will raid.

I don't have a problem giving up these picks for Kozzie, however my issue is how do we then get the points for Whan and Robinson.

With late picks coming back.

As a noted big trade detractor, especially Jackson, going through and looking at the trades and the players picked it's not as bad as you think.

Bolton was effectively done for a late first plus an early second when you consider the swaps and Reid.

Jackson more costly but still a bit of a wash when you consider where the picks fell. Just bugs me we are year 3 of him and still not sure what his best position is, but that is mainly an injury issue.

It is a concern that we will lose another two first rounders but if our NGAs go top 20 then essentially we get Kozzie AND a first round pick. Doubtful on Luke but I hope Whan keeps building.

Get 2025,2026,2027 third round picks from Melbourne.


By the way, we already have 2025 second (own), third round (tigers), third round (own). That should be enough for Whan.

Optimistic.

He keeps doing what he’s doing and we’re going to need more points so we don’t go into deficit for Robinson in 2026
