Logic was it was going to get swallowed, 2, 4, 5, 9 didn't really matter.
Finlay Macrae and Reef McInnes was who they got and neither have been terrible.
Also they're premiers so it absolutely was not calamitous.
If you're live trading on the night you're doing it for a reason, and need I remind people that live trading has gotten us O'Driscoll and Frederick. (Also got us Valente but can't win em all).
Yeah but both those fellas were forwards, Clarko always tops up with key backs of value by trading and free agents - Lake and Gibson.
I reckon the Hawks will be after forwards small and big bastards, they have just traded out Koschitzke and Brockman.
I’ll be gutted if the budgies get Curtin and fwiw if he slides I would definitely chuck to of the future firsts to get him…
We would still get LMac with our 2025 first and one of the others we have next year - IF we still see LMac as a need - a lot to play out this coming season….

Looks like a gem 194 cm and a booming kick and a raw talent..
But I fear our conservative coaching staff would doubt their ability to inspire a young kid to give up the beers

Yeah, the way that article is set up to get nearly 30 clicks out of you can gagf. There's nothing in there that couldn't have been written by half the people in this thread.
Not sure why you're defending against this point so hard
If we live traded 2 for a couple mid 20s picks I'd blow a gasket
Sure there was logic there and Daicos actually being good saved them but they would have got Daicos anyway, thats the whole point, They could have had Callaghan and Daicos, thats a midfield pair for 15 years
Or maybe they go tall seeing as they need a KPF, Daicos and Amiss
That's just an opinion piece by Duff I think.
I wouldn't have thought Dawson would leave either. I have no idea whether it is realistic but we very obviously prioritised 2024 over 2023 and I expect that to be realised in our strategy on Monday/Tuesday.
They can be used to trade up in next year's draft. We may have some specific targets this year and be open to trades, but next year's draft is always better isn't it?

Agreed drafting has been next to elite. Trading has seen a some less desirable outcomes (Hogan, Bennell, Lobb, trading up for Valente and to a lesser extent NOD who has every chance to come good).
Honestly I like what Freo have done this year. I think Coll have shown you can sit out drafts on a regular basis and still build a successful team. We’ll have 12 players next year with experience ranging from 2 to 36 games and that’s where I think our real improvement will come from, not from draftees.
I want us to keep all ‘24 picks as we should fill some holes this year with the players we have, then next year pick exactly what we need 1st round. I’m just bracing myself for some bizarre trade that I don’t understand seeing as we could have had picks 19 & 23 this year.
Collard or gothard for mine .
Surely we can get up the order for one of them.

I know a lot of people on here didn’t really fancy him too much but I thought Tholstrup was excellent in the WAFL grand final and I see Twomey now has him going to Melbourne at pick 13.
He must be well regarded by Jason Taylor. I think he’s going to be a quality AFL player and would be an ideal Cam Rayner type for us if we had been in range

At this point, I'm just hoping we can pinch Sanchez with our first pick. Wouldn't mind Gothard either, not particularly impressed with Delean.
I can live with Logan Morris if we pull the trigger on him, he does seem a talent. Just not sure we need him if Sturt continues his rise.
Joe Fonti does seem like a decent late option, don't mind that we're apparently into him. Joel Freijah also looks like he has some tools. Maybe Will Lorenz.
So, assuming there's no surprises give me:
#34 Koen Sanchez > Phoenix Gothard > Logan Morris
#38 Joel Freijah > Will Lorenz > Joe Fonti
Last main pick Shaun Mannagh > Josh (?) Clohesy
Rookie Joe Fonti > Aiden O'Driscoll
SSP Jeremy Sharp
Look for another forward next year.

Just my finger-deep analysis off a few YouTube clips. Definitely has talent, but they can't all make it.
