Wouldn't surprise me. Trade will probably get completed before the Cameron trade.



They've got a bundle of picks in the 20s and Freo will need one for Wilson.

Weller is a fair bit better than Wilson. I'd want a pick in the early 20s plus Wilson for Weller.

I'd say that'd be close to what it takes. They could probably just give 24+26. They'll most likely end up with Geelong's 19 which would still give them 3 picks inside the top 21. Freo can get Wilson and another pick before 41.

Best guess would be a couple of Gold Coast's many many second rounders - one this year to GWS for Wilson, one next year to Freo along with Wilson.
 
Freo also want Matera.

Weller is worth more. Maybe Matera and a late second round pick for Weller.

Freo get Matera and Wilson for Weller.
 
I think I'd prefer Weller to pick 12 but if we can use 12 and 18 for a top 8 pick I'd prefer that option.
 
I know nothing is kept silent anymore but I wonder if the player we've been speaking to (Noble mentioned it late last week) is maybe Menzel (o another player) and trying to get them to take the pre-season draft option.

Avoids any impacts to our free agency Compo, isn't an approach that is used very often anymore especially for a 'good' player like Menzel so both us and him would probably want to keep it quiet. Obviously some issues with Hodge potentially - although that will likely be a trade for pick 100 or something on the last day of trade period.

It was Kennedy
 
I'd do 12 for Weller in a heartbeat.

Great fit for our list and will be a very good player.

21 years old. Taken at Pick 13 three years ago. 47 games (22 the season just finished). The Lions are looking to increase midfield depth. Fits the Lions age profile of where they want to increase depth. (21-25). Wants to move to Queensland (albiet the Gold Coast), but that's not too far away (80 km compared to 4,300 km).

I'd at least contact Weller's manager and make an early offer of Pick 12 to Fremantle and see what the Suns make of it. Fills a need and also takes the wind out of Adelaide's sails in possibly pressuring Brisbane for 12 in some sort of Cameron deal.

Wilson is a gun and I understand why GWS are demanding a first rounder for him. He flys under the radar a bit in my opinion, one of the best attacking HBF in the competition. I'd use a late first rounder on him for sure and I think Freo will budge eventually and get it done for that.

I agree he's a gun, but I'd argue Mayes had the better season and is far more underrated. One to keep an eye on ;)
