If we do land pick 2 from GC...
Thoughts of trading our pick 5 & 41 to Brisbane for their picks 12 & 20?

No idea of the points equivalent or if Brisbane even wants to move up the draft but it would give us a top rated young midfielder using pick 2, potentially give us the op to land Naughton, Hayes or whomever we deem best available and trade pick 20 to GWS for Wilson...

Net result:
FREO: Pick 2, 12 & Wilson
GCS: Weller

GC have offered a good offer and freo would be silly not to take it..... from Weller
can't see Ross putting him on the field in 2018 regardless of trade value etc considerations if the deal dowsn't happen now after that comment. Manager is smart putting him on. Has caused him to burn his bridges so it can't not happen.

Gold Coast have offered Fremantle a good deal and they'd be silly not to take it. Wow, speaking like a GC player already and happy to completely forget about us.

I'm sure he would be excited if he goes with $4m over 5 years so $800k a year I would assume it's front loaded so maybe $1m in his first year. I assume he may be on $300-350k this year so a difference of up to $700k no wonder he's so keen to get there now!

If Weller stays I hope they play him at Peel. I am not annoyed that he wants to leave - that's fine. I am annoyed about the way he is going about it. So late in the trade period too! Ungrateful turd.

After last years drafting this years trades are depressing, Balic pick 38 for 66, Crozier pick 20 for
40
Have to say if it wasn't for Weller saving our arse we would have GWS making us touch our toes.
Hoping we have some better news soon, next years results should determine how well we are going
on/off the field, but it feels right now that we are have plateaued.
