Add our pick 18. So therefore you could use that second rounder for McCarthy
What pick 3 for 18,36 and Hill? If that's what you're suggesting not a chance in hell.

Was suggesting that, but nah won't happen. A lot of water has to go under the bridge before Hill to Freo gets done.
Who's the equivalent age profile & talent of Hill for you guys?

They think Ed Langdon.
From the same draft we got:
Crozier
Sheridan
Foster
Neale
Seems to me Bradley has got himself in a bit of strife being away from his family in Melbourne. They've informed Hawthorn that he would like to come back to Freo where he has support to get things back on track.
We would love to have him but wont compromise our list model to pay for it. Im sure Hawks would love to keep him but if they can't get reasonable value then he will stay. My guess is we are in a slightly stronger bargaining position than them. But neither club will be too phased if it doesn't work out.
How about Tucker? Last year pick about 20s. Not sure how he is rated by freo but a victorian kid worth about what theyd like in terms of last years draft position.
Maybe Langdon another vic kid has some value maybe get Collingwood involved.
Otherwise we dont have much else to give short of praying that mayne or clarke bring back some kind of value via compensation picks.

I have it on good authority that the Hawks have been looking to offload Hill since February for reasons that don't relate to his abilities as a footballer.
The Eagles are definitely not interested so i would be offering unders - maybe just our third rounder and some steak knives.

This wouldn't surprise me, the Hawks don't lose players they want to keep, Buddy being the obvious exception!

Buddy went for pick 19, 10 million dollars, and a trade ban

If anything Bond has gone hard in the other direction to try rid Freo of the reputation we had of being suckers at the trade trade table. That's why we've struggled to get a few deals over the line since then.
Once again if true why offer anything? Why do I somehow think Freo are going to be the bad guys in this deal.
If a team wants to unload a player for off field issues, then basically they're saying we're sacking you. To try and demand worth now would be crazy for us to bend over.
The more I like the sounds of Bennell, Yarran, Hill and McCarthy the more I'm getting concerned by our screening process.
Interesting times ahead.

I tend to agree, B. Hill doesn't really fit what we need from a football perspective, and there are definitely a few question marks regarding his character.
I don't see why we should feel obliged to offer up a market rate for a commodity we don't particularly require.

I think you have to kill someone to get a club ban at the Hawks. That might get you a week.

The problem with Sheridan is that he already plays for us.
I suspect those who think Hill's not worth a first round pick will be disappointed after the completion of the trade.
Good for you oh wise one.

We offered overs for mcarthy and gws wouldn't budge, if they had of taken it we would still be in same position we are now but without pick 3 and everyone on here would be bagging his recruitment as a bad trade

Now that made me laugh
pick 3 is goingh
Very true, people would be baying for blood if we got McCarthy and had lost those picks! In fact, I would want to shoot someone

Would have been the worst trade in recent history! this is the danger with dealing with future picks.
You'll see.
When he's playing for you, you guys won't give a * what draft pick you gave up for him.
