We offered more for Kelly, and it had no impact.

If McVee does not want to go to Eagles, then it doesn't matter what they offer.

We simply need to offer Pick 29 and leave it. It is fair offer.
I don't mind pick 29 combined with adding in the Richmond third rounder in exchange for McVee and the Brisbane 3rd rounder Melbourne own. That way Melbourne can use the extra points paired with their second rounder for one off the GC firsts while the Brisbane third will climb in the live draft after bid matching.
 
We won’t getting much for him.

In an ordinary market I whole heartedly agree.

Problem is Tasmania NEED to trade their picks for players. Are we just expecting everyone to up and leave to Tasmania??

They can take a maximum of one contracted player per club. Why not Pearce? Provided his contract is extended. If it is Pearce they’re not handing us a second rounder.

They MUST use 5, 7, 11 and 13 for players.

I particularly like this bit

  • Four mini-draft selections over two years to on-trade access to star 17-year-olds for following drafts;
  • Access to pre-list draft talents in their 17th year, spread across two years;
So they get to take the best 17 year olds first…then they get to TRADE for access to the best of the rest.

**** me
Right now is exactly the worst time to be bottoming out.

WCE in the wilderness for another decade.

Love it
 
If Brodie goes well, someone at Freo has a lot to answer for

It might even be Brodie who has something to answer for there, it's not uncommon for players to get the kick up the butt that drives them to run defensively when their career is about to end.
 
Allegedly
IIRC In the Doc stan released Cerra said he wasn't freo to be looked after trade wise.
I know it’s a few years away, but surely Alex Pearce goes to Tasmania in 2028 and we get given one of Tasmania’s first round picks they need to use to lure players?
We won't get anything for Pearce considering his age and the offer they will give him
 
Cerra loved the Melbourne pitch but as soon as Freo found out they told Melbourne we didn’t want their picks but Jackson would do. Melbourne very quickly told Cerra’s management it wasn’t going to happen. Cerra then “chose” Carlton
You wonder why players managers or clubs don't do their homework and understand what trade assets to make it happen.

Didn’t Cerra actually go to Carlton because he did want to do the right thing by Freo and Carlton had best offer?
More so the deal would get done with Carlton, Melbourne didn't have a 1st and had just won a flag so a F1 wouldnt have been enough. I do think Melbourne were his preference, but I don't think he went to Carlton to do the right thing by Freo.

Most interesting bits:

- Usually look to trade for specific needs and draft best available

- Spoken to a number of players/looking at a number of players via trade

- Got three senior list spots to fill, whether that's via trade and draft or only draft remains to be seen (I'm guessing this doesn't account for Brodie/Reidy vacating an additional two spots but I'm not 100% sure)

- Spoke at length about how good our two rucks are, so Darcy will not be leaving (my words, not his)

- Brodie/Reidy trades will be pretty straight forward, we'll be looking to accumulate points/move up the draft order

Draper and Sharp upgraded to the senior list.

We knew about Draper because AFL rules say so but Sharp is kind of news.
