Ask for next years 1st round and pick 20 something from this year for him. Next year's draft apparently strong, GC might be better and get a pick more 'suitable' for his range.

Win-win, we lose him but get a pick for Wilson this year - get a nice ranged pick for next along with our own one.

Allows us next year to line up Martin for a return home
Hey guys, not trying to be a peanut on your board. I hope the list managers get this done for both clubs and we only have to pay overs without getting reemed. I think if your list staff hold tight on our pick 2 then that’s great for you guys but we have more WA boys than you have QLD boys so it would go in swings and round abouts. Best to keep it all amicable and everyone is happy moving forward. Last thing we need is strained relations. All the best.

You screwed us on the Harley Bennell deal.

If so, good. But I don't want his shite in our club while we are rebuilding and trying to build a healthy and positive culture.
Yes sorting out the chaff from the wheat. Suspect with Weller it really is about his girlfriend's wants re being with her family etc and friends and what has come out in the interview too is perhaps he has never really been close with teamates at Freo, not bonded with the group. Probably not the case but there' something there can't put the finger on. If he's knows what has been offered to Freo and he thinks it is so good why has it not been revealed in the media...at least as a whisper? Maybe he under vaues himself and it's a crap offer LOL.

He'd only know what his manager is telling him. "They've made a solid offer to Freo champ. Don't worry, we'll get it done."

The Suns’ offer is believed to include one or more of their second-round draft picks this season, or potentially pick 19 if it moves north in the Gary Ablett deal.

True but we've also given you two future 2nds for well under rate over the past two off seasons (both #35s that ended up at #22 and #24 for you guys). So it's not like we haven't been generous in trading the other way already.

Yeah pretty happy with the highest 2 of their 2nds plus Matera if it is around that. Gets Wilson, gets us in the 2nd this year and next. Points wise it puts him around 8/9

He wants to go, he's going to go, let's not be hypocritical and shoot ourselves in the foot. Let's use it to get the guys who want in and set up our drafts.

Probably a 3rd rounder and a packet of twisties

No, Ross Lyon worked him too hard, trying to please the board of directors and ruined the player. He was picked up by us at pick 2 in the draft and you reemed is with 16 & 35.
Do your homework before sprouting..
Just want to keep it amicable as you will have more guys wanting to head home in the coming years and when the shoes on the other foot you will expect it to be handled correctly also!
