Yep. Well put. Freo are literally one of the most active clubs at trade period for the past three years. If they were "not a good club to trade with" how did they manage 19 trades over the last 3 years?What tactics?
Everybody looks at the Weller trade. Mate, the Suns and Weller asked for a trade one day left in the trade period.
The kid got a massive offer from the Suns and they promised him the world.
Hogan was a fair deal and as was Neale’s.
Lobb deal worked well for both parties.
Wilson, B Hill and Hamling went for unders but wasn’t massive over the top.
Crozier deal was for a third rounder.
The McCarthy trade was fair.
Only the Weller trade was considered difficult to trade with. Suns leaving one day to get the trade done was pretty dumb.
