I think I'd be pushing for something future for Balic.
Melbourne's 3rd maybe?

Man that deal they're crapping on about for Wilson blows:

5 and 40 for 11 and Wilson.
That sucks balls
Take out the 40 and it becomes a little better.

5 out
11 and Wilson in.

Means we probably would have turned #5 into Wilson and #9. Which isn't too bad when you think that at least one of the talls that have been talked about (Brander, Naughton or Hayes) would be available at #9.
I guess this suggests that LLoyd has been saying about keeping #5 is true and we are looking at one of the top-end midfielders rather than "stretching" with a tall.

Sharks. Anyone playing West Coast.
Yeah, there first pick isn't until the 40s now. Last year their first pick was in, what, the 70s? Sooner or later they are going to want to draft some younger, higher-end talent
Bastards are so good they kill it with even the late picks they get.

There has been a bit of talk Reece Conca, who was drafted at No.6 in 2010, could leave Richmond after not playing beyond the opening six rounds of the season.

He is contracted until the end of 2018 and Callum Twomey told NAB AFL Trade Radio the West Australian will likely stay at the club.

Now that Hayden is gone, what would people have done to keep him? When he came to the club and said the Dogs have offered me 3 years, would you have have upped our offer of a 2 year contract? Thrown in more money?

As if Freo would hand over 5 for 9 and 23. Dogs probably knew that too
I swim against the tide on this but I would look at 9 and English (without really knowing how he has progressed there). I think we need a mobile ruckman with versatility to compliment Darcy.

Ideally that is going to be Strnadica or Apeness, and if they are confident in them, then no problems.

Bennell, Wilson, Matera probably not. I rate him but he wants to play regularly and our recruiting may be squeezing him out.

Even if we got Hogan, this is the best news of any single Freo trade period
