Erasmus has interest from 4 clubs. Wants to stay

Pretty clear if Young comes back and we keep him in the team and offer him a half decent contract he'll stay. He has no reason to leave unless he's not getting a game

 

[ilikepotatoes]

I would not blame Erasmus or Sturt leaving at the end of the season.

 

[Paracleet]

We have three of the premier mids in the comp, plus Jackson, Bolton and Johnson to rotate through the middle, and that's not even mentioning Reid. If clubs are genuinely interested he's going, and we are likely to need currency.

Yep, I think we need the depth he provides in bigger bodied inside mids but if depth is all he's going to be there's nothing keeping him at the club really.

Given the reluctance to play Brodie it'd leave us pretty thin until Reid eventually becomes a mid and/or Robinson is ready to become starting 22.

Why would Sturt leave?

My view would be 9 times out of 10 when a primary inside mid is injured someone else already in the side moves up the rotations. Clubs don't keep genuine AFL standard (fully developed) mids in the seconds. They are either in the side primarily playing another position or not there at all because they have left.

 

[Spirit Level]

I would not blame Erasmus or Sturt leaving at the end of the season.

If Sturt was still getting held out of the team by Banfield I'd agree, but he's been injured all year and the club has looked after him.

I'd say it's more likely the club will cut it's losses, rather than Sam deciding to leave

 

[Purple Suit]

If he stays in the side and performs to a high enough level to warrant him being worth a first, then I think both parties would be happy to work something out to stay.

Further, he should be wary of thinking the grass will be greener on the other side. He would likely be a fringe player wherever he goes and would not be guaranteed a game anywhere. I think he is at least a good fit for Freo where we already have gun mids who happen to be small and need help with heavy lifting and grunt work.

If he gets turfed for JOM and Fyfe in the next few weeks, then fair enough, he should look elsewhere. Otherwise I would hope he stays unless a club offers him stupid overs in $$$.

The whole point of leaving would be to get regular minutes. He would get a game every week for WC as an inside midfielder.

Going to a top 4 team might be an issue but not all of them have strong midfields.

 

[ignoramus]

Why would Sturt leave?

Because JLo is no longer satisfied with refusing to pick the obvious GOAT that is Sturt and has now goine so far as to dabble in the arts of witchcraft to ensure he is constantly injured, thereby preventing him from being available for selection.

Kozzie just keeps playing his way out of a freo jersey

Sad but let’s move on.

Mcvee is out of contract and we need a half back.

Pickett will eat salary cap space and Mcvee will cost us a two second round pick.

Cheap pick up filling a role.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Being pedantic but is Pickett’s performance today not what we thought we'd be getting? Hes a gun. Its the 20 touch 9 scoring shot games that are making him hard to afford.

 

[dominguez]

I would not blame Erasmus or Sturt leaving at the end of the season.

If depth players get offered more money at a bottom 2 club they should go. You only get 1 footy career.

Freo offered Logue something like 300k a year x 2 years initially then upped their offer to around 3 x 500k. North offered him 5 years at 600k+ so it was a no brainer.

Same applies with Erasmus. Clubs have to pay 95%(?) of the cap and the Eagles list is horrible so they have to give the money to someone. If we offer Erasmus something like 400k x 2 and Eagles offer 3 x 700k or 4 x 600k Erasmus should seek a trade.

Pick 30-35 for Erasmus then use that as part of the Kossy trade looks win/win.

It's unusual for someone to request a trade for family reasons and it not get done. His form makes it harder though from a trade and salary persepctive. He's gone from an 800k player to a $1.1M player.

R1 + R2 + F1 should be about right I'm hoping. That's in the ballpark of Judd, Cameron, etc.

 

[E Shed]

I think we’d be crazy to let Erasmus go now after all the hard yards he’s done in development.
I’ve been very skeptical in the past but apparently his work ethic is as good as it gets and I think he’s shown he can play now.
He brings a bigger body & hard edge around the contest and the sheer will to get involved that should see him play at the top level.
I don’t think we can count on Young being able to stay on the park consistently unfortunately. Still early days but he’s had a worrying number of injuries so far.

 

[s_wd6]

Don’t rate him but Collingwood, Hawks, and Geelong all being interested in him means I want to keep him.

On another note, apparently you can gauge who Hawks trade targets are based on Who’s following Sam Mitchell’s private account on insta. Ras is the only one from our team following him.

 

[Wray27]

On the JOM debate, he was playing well enough for best 22 at the start of the year IMO but I don't think hes good enough to walk back in and I'd hope Ras' form is seen as good enough to keep his spot unless his form drops off

He was playing well enough in a losing side. JOMs 30 touches now would need to be very different to the 30 he averaged in the first 2 games to continue the game style of the past few weeks.

Bloody good player but I wouldn't be paying the alleged $1.2m for him. If Melbourne have that change for him then surely they know a player is moving. If they lose one of Oliver/Petracca no way he gets off the chain as often.

If we had money for Warner then surely we have money for Pickett. Depends on the outcome of the Jackson shenanigans.

FTFY, Young leaked it in an interview, he got a massive pay day, North had noone to pay, couldn't get anyone else in and the cap was just about to rocket

 

[Taylor]

Wasn't just Young, talk at the time was Logue was on more than $800k

 

[ubiquitous226]

Wasn't just Young, talk at the time was Logue was on more than $800k

No one should begrudge Logue at all, he was being shifted around here and Freo clearly hadn't been overwhelming in their belief in him.

Get offered that sort of money to move and a clear role to own - would be crazy to turn it down.
I actually think it's a shame he hasn't gone better, but his lack of footy brains was always going to put a ceiling on him regardless.

Logue is a case study on how North or Brady Rawlings more specifically pay massive overs for everybody. Partly because nobody would go there otherwise, Luke Parker has Sydney paying a portion of his salary, but then they turn around and give the likes of Luke Davies-Uniacke an absolute king's ransom.

I think the most disappointing aspect of him leaving (although Mundy was retiring anyway) was the end of Old Bull Young Buck. Him and Barra were a much better duo than the current mob.

Him and Barra had no chemistry. It was an awkward dynamic.
