Yeah Glass. He said there’s a photo floating around (assuming Facebook) of him and his mates in Freo gear.

You’d be giving us the additional pick. Best and fairest winner. Usually awesome availability aside from one year with knee bruising. Gus has one good year. One.

Come on.. are you serious?
Easily
Brad Hill will likely be AA this yeAr. In no way shape or form would I trade him for a player with a massive concussion history. Gus had a great 2018, but hasn’t backed it up this year. I’m sure you recall he started 2018 outside the best 22 and once he made the team was great. His drop in form this year is part of the reason you’ve gone backwards.
I love Gus more than most but if I'm picking between Hilly and Gus i'm taking Hill every week.

The Hill vs Brayshaw one is pretty interesting.
I think even Melbourne supporters would admit he didnt deserve to go top 3 brownlow last year but it was a very good year. He's also not a very good user and Hill is. He's also younger which makes a different.
Personally, given how good Hill has been since coming to Freo a straight swap wouldnt be fair off

Understandable. But a few points here:
- Brad Hill is requesting a trade here. Meaning there is less bargaining power. Take that into consideration.
- Having Gus in there is a domino effect on Andrew Brayshaw. Solidifies that you could potentially sign them both up to longer-term deals. Do their stocks and abilities rise playing with each other?
- This year, Angus has been playing wing and more out of the contest due to our plethora of inside see ball get ball mids. You play Gus as in inside mid where he belongs, he will reproduce his 2018 3rd in brownlow form.
Take all of those points into consideration and you start to see that the trade has legs.
My final offer:
- Gus and a 3rd rounder
for:
- Hill and your 2nd rounder.
Let's get it done fellas.
Are you? Hill is the most valuable outside mid in the game and he's only going to be 26 next year

Hill’s contracted.
I wouldn’t trade him for a top 5 pick.
I wouldn’t trade for injury prone players either, and Gus certainly falls in that category. Why would you guys remove him from his best role other than protecting his brain?

Because we have no outside mids and he's the one I'd choose to play there over Viney and Oliver. That's why I want Hill
Final offer:
- Brayshaw for Hill.
You would say no considering my above points?
Not only would that be incredibly stupid, but player for player Hill is better, so you'd be coughing up the extra pick. Also no thanks. I know this board has a hard on for Gus.....but him for Hill? Puh-lease

Interesting. The majority of mutuals I spoke to agreed a straight swap would be fair for both parties. I understand the knock on Gus vs Hill, you're giving up speed, endurance and great disposal for a hard inside mid that can get the scoreboard. Thought maybe would be quite fair for both parties considering Gus did finish 3rd in the brownlow last year and he's 3 years younger.
Interesting there's really not much smoke around Coniglio...
He's more like our style I reckon. RFA. Proven inside outside, good disposal...
Getting him, Henry and retaining our first would be almost the perfect outcome

This is irrelevant, player consent is required for a trade. Him not asking for a trade doesn't mean Freo can demand a higher price and force it through.
Your first pick will do fine. Currently #3. See how the trades for Neale and Weller went down for precedent on required players leaving to clubs with top draft picks in their hands.
He is contracted for two years. End of story.
