Brendon Goddard off the table

We don't give them up but the losing club does get compensation picks from the AFL. So you are giving up draft order potentially.

So it could essentially be Cloke and picks 11, 31, 50 and 78 to Freo for picks 10, 30, 49 and 77? That's hardly a stumbling block IMO.

Agree. It's only minor

Goddard and Cloke are free agents, we don't have to give up draft picks to get them. Would be the same situation as McPhee and Kepler, no trade but a much better player.

I see. Another person educated by way of Bigfooty. Never quite grasped the concept. I change my stance, get them both "without sarcasm" , ok one of them will do.

So given Goddard has still not signed, and will not until they prove they can make the 8 with a list that is perhaps older than young, I would target him over Cloke. Him and Ross seem to have mutual respect.

Cloke did look amazing at one point in his career. Perhaps more potential with size, strength and arm reach, but Goddard is one of the best players in the game. Both young enough not to be old.

I would support either coming to our club so long as they offload players that do not compromise our future.
