Hackdorn also says Nathan's out of contract this year. He isn't - he's signed to end of 2018, so he won't be a 'casualty of the Josh Kelly situation'. Hmmm, basic facts wrong, that's a story I'd trust.

well they were after jj so makes sense they would be after wilson but he would be an untouchable for the giants unless freo offer crazy overs

Hagdorn is literally the worst we have. The media is so pathetic in Australia so that says a lot.

I rate Wilson pretty highly - would definitely be interested to be a rebounding defender

100% certain Hogan was going to Freo

He may still get that one right

Claiming the sun will set at midday doesn't make me right when it sets at 6 pm.

Hackdorn.......Hmmm, basic facts wrong, that's a story I'd trust.

So again Crumpet Face shoots himself in the foot with dodgy reporting.....some things never change.

Has to be up there with one of the worst articles written awards. Lucky Perth is small town, somehow people getaway with this stuff and get paid for it.

 

[eastfreo75]

It seems that any West Aussie under the age of 25 either un-contracted or contracted will be going to Freo next year.

Wilson didnt get a gig at the State combine, so he'd be a smokey?

If you're talking about back when he joined the Giants, he joined as one of their 17 year olds so never did the combine stuff.

He would be a very good get for any team .. can we have him to fill Brodie Smiths shoes in 2018 .
GWS would miss him massively !!!

It's been discussed at length on the Freo board,
True:
Freo supporter growing up
Really close friends with Bennell
Wife's having a kid

Rumour:
Wife pushing the move back to Perth to have her and Nathan's families as a support group for the child
Having re-signed a number of blokes especially Kelly and Shiel GWS' TPP is bursting
Met with Ross and Fremantle management in round 19 when Fremantle went a played GWS
Wilson was pretty home sick in his first years at GWS

will be a good pick up for freo. trying to think who your main rebounders are now would he replace johnson?

Johnson is our second KPD, hopefully replaced by Alex Pearce next year after a couple broken leg set backs.
Our Prime movers are Luke Ryan, Lachie Weller and in the 4 rounds before he did his shoulder Connor Blakely.
Most don't see either Weller or Blakely as long term defenders, so Wilson would allow at least one of them to move up the ground.

Thought he was awful in year's one and two and would be delisted as soon as his initial contract was up. Offered very little and was incredibly unpredictable with ball in hand. But he's turned into a very valuable player for us. Has developed into a reliable user by foot and can always count on him to do a good job defensively. The type of player that isn't often noticed, but all good teams have (aka; Like Brown at Adelaide). Hope we don't lose him as I'd like to keep as many inaugural players around for as long as possible, but the reasons seem fair. Would have a great opportunity to set himself and his family up for life back in WA, so would more than happy for the club to get a mutually beneficial deal done, should he request it

 

[foj1]

has signed with Freo.
Wife back home he will follow.
Salary cap relief for GWS.

He has literally signed a contract with Fremantle?

I don't think that's allowed pre-trade.

Had an absolute mare of a finals series but I do rate him, capable of playing the rebounding and shut down roles.

How could Fremantle possibly get this deal over the line? Pick 5 far overs, no second round pick, Giants don't have a first to downgrade to and no expendable players with significant value.

I assume he's worth more than a 2018 2nd rounder?

Pick 5 and Wilson for GWS future 1st? Yeah nah that won't happen.

No idea how it gets done unless many other jigsaw pieces give us some leverage.
