****ing hope not. Terrible deal for us. 42 perhaps....Snooping around the West Coast board, some fella who they reckon might be ITK saying
"Barrass for 14 and F2
14 for Baker and 24*
3 for 6 and 18.
*24 was dependent on [us] getting that for Graham"
I'd rather send 6 + 18 for North's 2
Probably more what's coming out of West Coast in terms of what they want. I agree though. Doubt we'll settle for sending anything their way****ing hope not. Terrible deal for us.
Im all for getting pick 2 just to apply pressure on GC with a Lombard pick @ #1.Snooping around the West Coast board, some fella who they reckon might be ITK saying

We won’t let him slip through our fingers againThis is our chance
POWER FORWARD ON HOLD
QUINTON Narkle remains without a contract for 2025, but at least a couple of clubs are monitoring his situation.
The 26-year-old played 13 of the final 14 games of 2024 for Port Adelaide, including all three finals against Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney.
Narkle has been told to wait until after the trade period to see if there is a spot for him at Alberton next year, after being the sub eight times this season.
I have no faith in the club after they ****ed up the Luke Parker moveWe won’t let him slip through our fingers again
Geez, every one of these media campaigners carrying on as if Shai had totally checked out, which is bullshit. He'd do repeat effort after repeat effort on the field and they'd still carry on afterwards that his head was elsewhere.The reality is there is alot of pressure on Freo to get this done for Shai
Freo is in the window, now, and we are not
Lets look at worse case scenarios and Shai does not get traded, what happens
Richmond
Richmond is stuck with 1,6,14,20,23 and Shai Bolton stands out of football for a year, or dials it in and doesn't try,
Big deal, we are not winning the flag in 2025 anyway, we just trade him at the end of 2025, or he turns it around and plays good footy
We allready have a heap of draft picks, it would be annoying but, whatever, if he does not turn up in Melbourne, he would forfeit $1.25m a year, do you really reckon that is gunna happen, I don't. There is some risk, but most of the risk is on Freo
Fremantle
If they cannot bring Shai home, they are screwed, firstly they cannot win the flag without him, they can't even make the finals without him. It also screws them with Pickett and Warner, there is no way that these players will nominate Freo ahead of West Coast if they are coming home next tear. These players will not want to be left high and dry like Bolton, where Freo committed to them, like they did to Shai and would not pay the price, how embarrassing
The more I think about it the more I am positive we just need to hold firm, Wednesday afternoon they will do the deal 100% for 10,11 at least, probably more. If they do not they have screwed themselves and Longmuir will be odds on favourite to be sacked by midseason.
In Blair we trust
I voted trumpWent with other. There will be bullshit picks thrown in here and there so I will win
We will get pick 6(7] and 23[26]The trades board will make for some fantastic reading if we get anything over 6 for Rioli (we will)
This is where I'd like to get this done quick smart, we've seen the stampede of clubs wanting to get 13 from GCS and 10/11 from Freo. Some of those clubs need those picks to complete their own trades, others just want to get back into the first round of this draft.If and when we get 14, so we prefer swapping for 19 & 22 (Swans), which should then elicit F1 x 1/2 or do we need 14 to seek 2?
Plus trade period could have started this coming Monday and no one would have noticed.Quick recap of the past few weeks.
- Richmond ask for picks 6 & 13 from Gold Coast for Rioli, GC say no
- Richmond no indication of what we've asked Freo for Bolton but apparently it was (9 & 10) now 10 & 11, Freo only want to give us 10 & 18 was (9 & 16) but free agency for Battle stuffed things up.
- Richmond indicate to Eagles we want a teens pick for Baker, WC in talks with Hawks to get picks for Barrass
- Richmond havent budged on our asking price for both Rioli & Bolton
- AFL media and oppo fans go into pure melt down because we won't trade what they consider is "fair value"
Thats pretty much it

lol we've heard this before. oh wait!Hugeeeeeee. I wasn't worried as I never expected him to leave but now I don't even need to subconsciously worry about it.
Stoked for the guy. Tiger for life it appears unless something drastic happens.
but would he konstantly get a game for us lolCrows fans funking hated him. That's enough for me.
There is talk of that Konstanty fella being delisted by Swans. Someone linked us to him at some stage.

Guess we now know why Blair isn't interested in throwing salary cap relief in to help get deals done as Balta is now getting paid.
