I think Freo will play harder than that. Freo can prevent him getting to StK in the PSD. I think a pick around 20 is needed because of the compromised draft.
I want us to put up a fight for this one. If he tries to walk he isn't making it to StK in the preseason draft.
It's up too StK to come up with a pick from 18-25, I'd only look at 32 if it came with another 2nd rounder.
Personally I'd prefer 13 & 32 for Henry & 21.
From my reading StK needs an inside player.
Here is a possible trade
Henry plus Brodie and 21
For
13 & 32 plus future 3rd.
Brodie provides inside Bull stk need. Freo have a lot of young mids, and we are pushing youth.
I think Brodie would suit Stk needs and Ross’s game style.
So we keep him this year and use him as a backup ruck, which is what we need him for and develop another player to replace him. Then trade him somewhere else.
He has potential, I wouldn’t call him a gun yet. He is still inconsistent, last years GF he was amazing, this years finals not so much.
Taranto is a gun. Why would Freo pay more than what Rich paid for Taranto?
Yet Taranto ND 2 - Rich offer 12 and 19. Looks close to Jackson value.
I'd call Taranto is better than Jackson.
I think the trade will be
Freo 13, PP2 (North) F2 (Freo) F3 (Freo)
Jackson & 27.
PP2 unlocks Grundy for Mel
27 unlocks Sharp from CG for Freo
I think Freo have been up front with this deal. We've also said Lobb is not being traded, and that is because we lost Logue. If it happens it will happen after Jackson, WB will need to convince Freo.
Taranto is the closest trade, although I'd put Taranto as higher value. He went for 12 + 19...
Freo's position is he's contracted (with a front ended deal) so he cost us not that much this year.
Forwards don't grow on trees and Freo have struggled to get decent forwards. If the deal gets done, WB will pay more than they are happy with.
Except Freo happy to keep him.
VIC media rarely get Freo news correct, too vic centric.
Freo have already said they’d prefer to keep him. He’s not on big dollars.

He failed to kick a goal that day but had 3 hit outs.
He was 18. And didn’t play past that yeas 11 games total.
Feels completely unders for a former pick 8, who is being offered a long term deal on up-to 700k. Especially when Freo offered 4 years on 500k.
Freo will want a first rounder.
It may end up being both Norths F2nds for Logue and 55 for Tucker.
I think the F3rd goes for Hill.
Depends and which team he goes too.
If he's part of the Jackson deal, then fair enough.
if he goes to GC then I'd let them have him for unders.
Carlton then I'd bleed them for all we could get.
Unless a pick is offered in this range I suspect we will hold him to his contract.
He's a contracted player so the teams who want him will need to pay fair comp.
All the player rumoured to want to leave have the same manager. He always uses the media in negotiations.
He’s a major problem as he loves shopping his players around to get more money (mostly for himself).
I would never trade a top three pick. It's been shown to be a mistake.
We still don't know how Jackson will turn out, he's 20. In 5 year time we will know.
Plenty of players have played well in their first years only to drop away.
Not on those stats.
Jackson is good, has potential to get better, but you guys keep over valuing him. He was average in the finals this year.
Freo will trade fairly, but we can only trade what we have. You will get two firsts, but you won't get a top 5 pick, not two top 10s.
I think your right. This deal will get done.
Freo are limited on what we can offer. I think it depends on if the Grundy deal is going to happen.
Without the Grundy deal I suspect Mel will want Meeks as part of the deal (he is a walk up starter at many sides and on 22).
Most Freo fans want to...
Pity we don't have a second, third or four this year. Traded them out last year.
We'll be trading our first and F1 with Mel, so unless we get something back I can't see us being able to trade back or switch.
28 is about fair.
Probably about the right mark from Freo perspective. He has been brilliant this year. Carlton will offer less or want something beck (which we don't have).
Bell will put up a fair offer based on what we have.
We will upgrade our First this year with Lobb and offer our first next year. Bell cunningly traded out all other picks this year.
He won’t sell players away who don’t want to go.
It’s like he was planning this from last year.
Can’t see how...
