[Tonga Bob]

Happy days, welcome home Joel! Time to dance!!!!

 

[Wally Walpamur]

HAMMER TIME!!!

 

[rgauci]

Yes yes yes!!!

 

[MadDocker]

Yes! Best trade period in ages. Got all the ones we wanted and will probably end up with Kersten for the hell of it. Nice work.

 

[Bastyy]

Didn't know we knew how to do more than 2 trades! Welcome Joel!

Yes! Best trade period in ages. Got all the ones we wanted and will probably end up with Kersten for the hell of it. Nice work.

Better hope 61 gets it done then

 

[stefoid]

Better hope 61 gets it done then

35 plus a swap of late picks.

given the contract you offered him, thats fair. backslaps and promotions all round

Nah I mean for Shane

 

[MadDocker]

Wont be upset if we don't land him or risk the PSD. Hamling was the bigger fish and we got him.

McCarthy, B.Hill, Hamling. Picks 7, 40, 63.

Not too bad at all.

 

[Taylor]

Better hope 61 gets it done then

PSD will do it.

 

[Lach72]

PSD will do it.

I hope we give them 61

40 to geelong , get back 56 and kersten. Exciting trade but boring draft for freo.

Joel Hamling [traded to Fremantle with picks 40 and 63 for picks 35, 43 and 61]

40 to geelong , get back 56 and kersten. Exciting trade but boring draft for freo.

Hopefully this is just you being crazy and not an actual trade that has been done. Wouldn't be keen on the club spending that on Kersten...

Would be worse if we didn't have pick 7.

40 to geelong , get back 56 and kersten. Exciting trade but boring draft for freo.

You would lose points for that

 

[Substance]

Enjoy him. Take care of him. Feed him twice a day and walk him 3 times a week.

Any draft where we have a Top 10 pick is exciting!

 

[Silent Alarm]

Good get. Pick 35 is speculative territory and this guy looks a decent chance to play 100 games for us.

More than anything though, I'm absolutely chuffed the club is finally starting to almost exclusively target West Aussie boys. Victorians are unwilling to move, and most interstaters generally don't have the respect for the club. I think everyone we've picked up so far is from the home state and with Kersten that'll continue. It's been a long time coming, but it's something we need to harness and encourage.

 

[peppy la pew]

Nice work Bondy & Co, what a week.

Wrap up Kersten and see if we cant offload a couple of players for some of those excess GC picks

 

[meima]

Any draft where we have a Top 10 pick is exciting!

Not with me , freo draft three injury prone top 10 so far . Mora , justin and the guy that eventually end up in richmond . Is drum a top 10 also.

[Unique Name]

Well done Lloydy.

 

[Simmofreo]

Happy with this. Watched him closely in the finals. He was very very good. Will be a surprisingly good pickup. And will be super happy to play woth his best mate Kersten when we sort that trade out.

Happy players play well
