Goldy is still close to optimum. We need someone ready-made for the next 2 years, that's for sure. Any injury to English and we would be horribly exposed. If not Goldy, happy enough with Lobb but he would come at a significantly higher cost.
How would you see the split in the ruck, if Goldy was with us?

Probably 70/30 English/Goldy. Depending on the opposition, some weeks Goldy would do close to 50% and other weeks he may not even be selected.

Fremantle have offered Luke Jackson a seven-year, 10.5 million dollar contract, per Peter Sumich.

If true, he'd be mad not to take it. He's already got a flag, a chance to win a 2nd and potentially goes to a team who is around the mark.
This would open up opportunities for other clubs to make a play for Lobb and Logue.

And he is from Freo. Surely he would accept that. Does it mean Freo more likely to lose a decent player or two? Who would we be able to afford to poach?
Thank Gvgjr-you we’re typing answer as I was typing my question. Spooky action at a distance - Einstein would be impressed!!

Goooooneski, no way you reject that.
Thank God for him otherwise it would be Naughton or English. WC might still lure one of them with a similar offer.

Lobb would definitely be dislodged you'd think.
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Maybe it's just me but surely there's appeal in being there for a clubs first ever premiership as well?
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Sumich is renowned for being totally full of shit right?

What would the trade look like? He'd be worth 2 x 1sts. Can they do that Freo? Maybe a three way with dogs for Lobb our first or something.
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Not that I am particularly worried about it but are others scared of Sydney poaching someone?
Buddy finishes up soon, freeing up a shitload of salary cap space. They typically use that on a marquee player, who is marketable, a matchwinner, well known and one of the best players to watch. I'd imagine Aaron Naughton, Marcus Bontempelli and Bailey Smith would all be pretty high on their list, as they each fill all the above. I don't really see the first two leaving at least but if they go down that path the offer will be generous.

I don't think Freo will have any currency issues.
Freo is likely to to get a late first for Logue and would get a first rounder for Lobb which would also be more of a salary cap dump.
I just don't get it. Darcy is a good ruckman and Jackson hasn't quite proven himself as a forward. What are they actually gaining?
Is it a ruse to get Melbourne to overpay for Jackson and weaken their list?
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
That's crazy money for a very promising but not fully proven player. It has the potential to be a Brodie Grundy type salary cap noose around Freo's neck.
