Recommitted Chad Warner [Signs until 2027]

[rye]

It's part of the reason Pickett is so much better with Bolton. Bolton and Chad are very similar IMO and play a decent enough split of forward/mid. Pickett would be like 600-700k cheaper and fill the exact position we need.

Given Bolton is a given, Pickett is better for us if possible over Warner and even that must be tight cap wise.

id be targeting a meat and potatoes mid like drew or dunkley over warner.

somebody who will let serong + young shine and round out the mid mix well with brayshaw.

be a lot cheaper than warner too.

I think the club is banking on Erasmus or O'Driscoll for that but I agree, I would have been very very keen on Peatling or Kennedy. Perfect for thay role and certainly cheaper...

Surly he wants to go to Geelong .

erasmus looks far too slow both in terms of pace and decision making to me. i dont think he makes it. maybe johnson could be turned into that player?

peatling would be a terrific acquisition in that mould.

100% fair on Erasmus. He's gotten a lot better in those areas at WAFL but I've had the same doubts. Still, he's basically the best player at WAFL level and only 20. Could figure it out as the support guy. Johnson is another good shout. Best games were generally when he could take Fyfes role last year.

Does he like farming

They're right in the middle of a premiership window. Warner is pretty key to that. They'll still get a good haul next year.

They didn't win it this year, while finishing top of the ladder, they need to change things up.

How future pick trading could land Freo Chad Warner

Fremantle list boss David Walls says changes to allow clubs to trade draft picks two years in advance will give the Dockers the necessary ‘ammunition’ to land Chad Warner.

Fair play to Mitch Woodcock. He's turned presumably 1 interview with David Walls into 4 articles in The West over the past 2 days (so far).

I wonder if it’s only WA clubs that will be in the mix
Or if other clubs stand a chance

Zero its WA or he signs a small extension with us but still eventually WA.

Every off-season/bye week he goes back home for a bit.

Geelong will only be interested when he his 33 years of age

 

[fnerd]

Absolutely 0 concern he leaves

How bout now Mr confident?

 

[fnerd]

Have to say Swans fans are not coping particularly well.

Don’t think I’ve seen a fan base go so far off the deep end quite so quickly off nothing but an article in Fairfax.

Will be a long 16 months.

Imagine what they’re like now!

Why would he leave Sydney if it isn't for the pull of home

They're one of the best run clubs in the league, always up the top challenging and have a great young core of players

Its his lifelong dream to play alongside Jy Simpkin ive heard.

Can’t blame him

May as well reunite with his mate Parker

[THE_GUN]

The Chad is going to be a very very highly paid boy

West Coast will most likely have a top 3-4 pick to get the deal done and $1.5 mil x 7 year deal on the table
Its going to be an extremely hard task for any team to match that and he is young enough to see out the rebuild alongside Harley

 

[Daka]

I think there is still a chance that Warner stays at Sydney, but the noise is pretty big from the WA about him coming home.
A lot of people criticized what the Eagles did this trade period, but their picks next year make them in prime position over Freo in getting a deal done.

Agreed.

Not heard a peep from him or Swans about it.

It's as bad as the Dusty trash.

I really don't understand this logic about picks. Short of some miracle, they are finishing bottom 4 and can just hand over a top 4 pick. Like Baker and Houston last trade period, WC could have picks 1 through 10 and it wouldn't matter if Warner picked Freo.

The reasoning from Barrett in particular was excruciatingly stupid trying to justify what WC did. At the most you could say getting mature players to make themselves more competitive will help convincing Warner but then they also traded Barrass...
