We'd improvise & think of a way to make the deal happen. That's what Phillips, Bains & Elshaug get paid to do.

We were at a stalemate with Essendon last year, then got Sydney involved & it's netted us an absolute gem in Gresham & we've still got big Jake 'steaknives' Carlisle to come in 2017.

TBH, I'd be happy with Steele & pick 17 for pick 10. I've got the confidence that Richo would turn Steele into a JPK-type (with a better kick) & whatever we do with pick 17 would be a bonus
I see your point, but why force them to do that at all... Why trade this years first away for lower first, a when you can trade next years second and defiantly get the man you want, and get a better first round trade or draft position. We got lucky last year, Gresh is a god send, but this year that may not happen...

Would do our 2017 2nd and 3rd rounders for Steele, GWS 3rd this year and their 4th next year. They don't need the 3rd this year and their 4th next year won't be worth any points.

Gives us that extra pick around 50, rather than use pick 64 or upgrade a rookie. Honestly can't see any of the rookies being upgraded. None have pushed for senior selection as far as I'm aware.

Go to the draft with:
Pick 10
Pick 46
Pick 51

.
He's kicked 19 goals in 25 games - if he's a specialist small forward then he's not going to make it. Milne had 43 in his first 25 games.

He's a mid the same way Gresham, Sinclair, Billings etc are. Same way Joey was. Same way Robbie Gray or Ablett were. They all played forward early in their careers but moved (or need to move) to the midfield.
Pretty sure Lonie is the only one who played mostly as a small forward before we got him.
Milne was older AND a freak.

No thanks.

2 goals 5 tackles 18 disposals is a decent game. He's not Nat Fyfe but he is a very handy middle of the road player. He's young enough to develop further. I thought he went okay.

I'm a St Kilda supporter.... Lonie will become the next Milne, Holmes will be the next Nick Nat and Fyfe will need to be wheeled out in a wheel chair every week to watch us play.
Same
I thought we would trade others but Shenton will turn into a tall mid and be a better version of Fyfe
50 goals 35 touches a game next year and Curren will be on par if not better than Ablett

If it was real that we went hard at him which could happen but no clue why freo will deal what would we offer:
2 first rounders are a given
Another gun youngster may have to be chucked in.
Acres, Bruce, Goddard,
Happily chuck in Billy

Bit scared to give up two first rounders..

If all goes to shit, our next rebuild might suffer too.

I think Freo are in desperate need of another KPP and a ruckman, probs need to give them one of our midfielders if it is to go through.

Saints get: Fyfe
Freo get: 1st round pick, Acres, Longer (??)

Tbh I have no idea how the trade would work to be honest. He's OOC in 2017, surely we would have some leverage in the deal?

Not bad at all. Whats the draft looking like in the 3rd round this year? Would we be better off packaging those two late picks up for a single pick slightly higher such as the mid 30's?

Throwing a spanner in the works, a way to make sure that Fyfe isn't eating up so much of the cap that we aren't able to attract any more talent could be the often proposed trading of Armo.

Hear me out, given that he signed a new contract last year (the best one of his career) he'd probably be on some decent coin. If we could trade him for a pick in the teens and a decent cap space boost it'd going a long way to being to being able to offset the financial and pick cost of a significant upgrade on him in Fyfe, who is the perfect age for our list.

Fyfe this year doesn't really make sense. If Freo are crap again next year they'd likely get a second pick in the top 5 - much better than anything we could give them (like two mid-range first rounders).

They get fit players back.
Add McCarthy, Lobb and effectively Bennel they'll be hoping to push for finals

True, but that was probably his best game on front of a team that seems to want to offer him a contract.

He was a liability when they played us.

Still makes too many decision and skill making errors for mine.

If was cheap then maybe, otherwise no.

Jong is not a bad player was ok tonight but do not want. This pipe dreams of getting Fyfe are getting tiresome. We won´t get him
get your hands off it guys. Next year Martin / Rocky. Throw the kitchen sink at them particularly Dusty. This year Hurley or Steele , nail one of them then reassess what our needs would be next year.

He read Facebook.

Maybe Fyfe was going for a meal in Carlisle St and Andy was excited about that.

Nearly 12 months away. Bet he signs before then. Or maybe he has had it with Ross.

Rat are deserting the ship at Freo
