Traded Jordan Clark and F4 traded to Fremantle for #22 and F3 (Carl)

[CatToTheFuture]

Will either turn out to be better than Cerra or a total bust.

What if Cerra turns into a bust?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Why isn’t it on Freo treat the guy right and give up a good pick to get him?

They are actually offering overs for Clark with pick 22 despite still being contracted
.

Wrong.

Nah, they are actually offering unders for Clark despite being contracted.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Lol, good try. I know this thread has already descended into a dick measuring contest until this trade goes through on Wednesday arvo but can we at least make it an accurate one?

Our young, high draft picks have been excellent of late. Only need to look at Serong, Brayshaw, Mundy, Young and Chapman in recent years. We've nailed plenty of later picks too.

Did you write “our young high draft picks have been excellent of late” and include the name D.Mundy? He’s fu$#in 40 years old mate. Haha gold.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Not so much targeting a contracted player. More so trying to accommodate a trade for someone who has requested to leave Geelong to be at Freo, we have way more leverage in this situation than you think.

So Jordan wrote his own 4 year contract and sent it to Bell?

I reckon it appears the price is a tad high as Freo are buying, Cats aren’t selling.

I personally think you're getting a bargain

I would say its fair price rather than bargain but i honestly think he will play 200 games for them. Sad to see him go if thats what happens.

That sort of sadness happens if you pick up top talent and don’t use or develop it.

was traded to West Coast for pick 28

22 is fine for Clark.

You watch them flaff around and come up with some other rubbish like 22, future 3rd for Clark and future 4th.

Yep

 

[The 747]

Noted, we shall from now take our player development lessons from Fremantle.

 

[Bicco]

Personally if Freo think he will play 100+ games/10yrs for us then 19 is fine. Going after contracted players will always cost a bit more, favouring the team holding the player. Uncontracted not so much. If Freo really think 19 is too much then walk away and come back when the situation is more favourable, I.e. uncontracted. Unless he becomes a superstar in that time a mid 20's pick will get the player.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wrong.

Elmer_Judd whenever he speaks the opposite comes true. Just ask him about his DP
22 and change or 19 straight is what we should be after.

 

[eastfreo75]

Again, Freo are the club that decided to target a contracted and wanted player. It is up to Freo to convince Geelong to trade their contracted player.

Pick 6?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

To be fair i think this is true of all teams to some degree.

 

[WilloTree]

Pick 6?

I wouldn't say that too loud. Geelong started at Pick 8...

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Freo have developed young players and draftees a lot better than Geelong over the past 5 years or so, not sure what point you are making with that comment.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Pick 8 with picks going back. Worth the question

Have they had a lot more to work with perhaps?

Brisbane offering 3 picks after 50 for Fort.
Pass them on with Clark for 8

True, but geez your first round track record in the last several seasons has not been great, although granted you were dealt a bad hand with Cockatoo and all his injury problems

Be rude not to

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So we're zero from 1 on top ten selections that we've had since John Howard was PM then. What a calamity. Meanwhile freo had as many top 10 selections in 2019 as we've had in total since the invasion of Afghanistan

Dont see that happening but we dont have the list spots to use those picks so they will be going in another trade one might be for ceglar and the others i have a feeling we will package lower picks to get 23 from the dogs.
