Yep, close er up Freo mods, the club that has achieved one GF appearance in 30 years is above criticism. No need for a discussion forum when we can all just meet at Cockburn hold hands and sing kumbaya together.

Man can't we melt over a trade without having a crash out over the clubs history of failure. Not fun anymore when you do that.

 

[Cobbler]

Or maybe everyone outside the top 5 is shithouse, so it doesn’t matter. Freo didn’t have a pick to get mcvee now they do. Was a gun until melb used him as a lockdown def because they have too many half backs

Imagine there’s 20 sandwiches lined up in front of you.

There’s 5 decent ones. The rest are varying levels of shit.

Would you rather pick 12 of the shit sandwiches or pick 19?

 

[Docker82]

Cant do much with just 19 and 46 ,we need some more picks from future ones in order to get the players to make the total list.

Pick 19
Pick 46
Whan (matched with next pick)

Rookie Draft Pick 11
Pre-listed SSP

Reckon we'll delist and re-rookie someone to stay at 36-6. They'll probably be a couple of train ons to replace Sturt who'll be placed on the LTI.

Five spots is all we have left. Reckon three picks is plenty tbh.

Nup, got pushed to far

Not sure how anyone can be happy with the trade. 12+33 for 19+23 is underwhelming on its own. Then we give away 50 to downgrade 44 2 spots. We have given away 33 and 50 for nothing.

23 for McVee is about right, I'm fine with that just not happy with how we got 23

Just makes no sense at all. 12 for 19+23 makes sense and it ends there.

Adding 33 is extra in case one team is stubborn and 12 somehow isn't enough for 19+23. It's overs but at least I can rationalise it as Walls being a pushover.

But then giving away 44 and 50 to get 46 is literally nothing except giving away picks for free. You can't rationalise that at all.

The trade ends with us:
Downgrading our first pick 7 spots.
Upgrading our second pick 10 spots.
Downgrading our third pick 2 spots.
Giving away our fourth pick for free.

You don't do all in bold just to upgrade a second rounder 10 spots for another team to use.

The only way any of this makes sense is if there's a F2 involved that Twomey forgot to mention.

 

[Cobbler]

Ok.
I’ve come to terms that there must be a second component to this deal that will play out much later.

Some sort of ‘gentlemen’s’ agreement for picks.

Surely a future pick -even F3

It won't be West Coast's future second and if it is build Walls a statue outside Cockburn.

Brisbane's second rounder and West Coast's third rounder are pretty much the same thing though.

I don't understand how I can be mocked for trying to get people to understand how bad it is as it stands. I dont know how bad a trade has to be for people to be pissed at a trade.

Its not even paying overs for a player, thats at least a bit subjective. Its a pick swap that has much more objective values...

 

[Ge3ks]

The only Known we have from that trade that is a known known and not an unknown known(like pick 12) is Judd McVee.
Stop ya Crying ya bunch of babies, They know alot more about footy than ANY of you.

A lot is two words. Dumbass.

*Dumb Ass.

 

[stax on the mull]

At this point there's 4 clubs involved but Twomey's graphic only mentions the pick swaps of Bris, WC and Frem. He does preface his post by saying "More to come!".

 

[serial_thrilla]

I hope the melting from this trade lasts for another week, because I can't see the Brodie trade causing too much traffic on this board.

BigFooty servers currently firing on all cylinders.

 

[Joao]

Perfectly fair. A fair bit of my working myself up is now directed at people not thinking it matters. I just fundamentally dont understand that opinion (doesnt help being Dunning-Krugered and told to touch grass). I think it's being accountant that gets me so angry at this stuff

I’m sorry but most of you are straight dumb. 12 to 19 is fine. Outside of the top 5 this draft is horrid.To get a known commodity with pick 23.. which will blow out to probably 30 is fine. Freo didn’t have the pick to get him otherwise . Freo already said they ain’t gonna be too active and will just get whan, and stab at a few other. Calm down shit sippers

I absolutely love that these are concurrent posts.

Ive done my best but I still cant bring em down. Always hilarious when Carlton **** up and the site is slowed to a crawl for 30 minutes

Yeah this is the only rational explanation I can come up with - especially considering the later pick swaps

someone mentioned in a post earlier we were keen on tylah williams(small fwd who’s combine results were impressive , outside of that seen **** all of him)

- maybe wallsy asked the question of the eagles that were keen and going to bid and they came back with do us a solid and we won’t match??

Not too far fetched when you consider WC stocks of small fwds (whilst none appear to project as elite just yet they do have quite a few with at least another couple to be added this year on top of Williams

 

[Superkoops]

These complex trades develop further overnight so hopefully there are few missing pieces.

I remember the initial reporting of the JOM left out the future pick we got. It was only once the official paperwork was lodged that Cal then said a Future pick to Fremantle had been included.

 

[Ghost Pig]

I come in peace yada yada..

Hey good to see you guys have your own Brady too.

Thought it was just us who enjoyed fisting ourselves at the trade table.

Welcome to the Brady club.

Glad you're enjoying the show. We haven't forgotten the fistings you blokes have given us over the journey either.

 

[Tonga Bob]

19 and Banfield for Pickett.

That sounds pretty even to me.

Pass.

 

[groggm]

Only for Peter Bell to appear on the last night of the trade period to collect the child unless Wallsy can guess his Korean/Navajo birth name.

A wild Peter bell appears

 

[Mesc]

Pass.

Trade out Banfield.. then get Banfield and Pickett back. Thats more like it.

Hmmm , I wonder.

 

[Randomizor]

A wild Peter bell appears

Somehow, Peter Bell returned

 

[largebus]

Have to say, disappointing melts so far.

Especially compared to when Port ****ed us over last year for Joe Berry and we had to take some Richmond supporting Vic metro kid.

 

[Nodgey]

Ready for Whan to be bid on now inside the top 40 and we have to scramble for some points we threw away…

 

[sumavich]

I actually went to high school with Wallsy (he was a year above me loll

He is a quality lad.

Also being so called easy/flexible at the trade table will make it easier for agents to recommend their star free agent players to join your club btw, Essendon for example only recruited one big name star to their club during Dodoro's reign (Brendan Goddard) and that was because he was a free agent.

Being reasonable at the trade table will result in more big names be willingly traded to Freo (although granted, i understand your angst given Freo's previous trading history)

You have to give up quality to get quality in today's AFL (especially if you are in the premiership window like Freo)

Didn't Wallsy also engineer the fleecing of Geelong for Jordan Clark (which imo was low key one of the best value bargain trades in the last 10 years) ?

No recruiting manager is flawless or perfect, but I honestly happen to believe Wallsy's record in the last 5 years stacks up as well as a anyone else in the AFL, especially given your club's finishing position and lack of father son and academy picks.

I'll see myself out now, but i genuinely wish Freo all the best and think you guys should be very.excited/optimistic for 2026 and the future.

I am honestly jelly of your club's current list compared to mine

No probs mate, always welcome. Thanks for the glass half full!

I know ive seen you complain about academies. You have lost all future rights to complain about draft concessions to other teams
