Brad Hill has requested a trade from Fremantle to Victoria.

Bruce would be a great fit for us. He’s helped Marshall in the ruck which means Schache and Naughts wouldn’t need to, he’s a competitive beast and with Naughton would make our forward line a hell of a lot more dangerous in the air. It also means we can move Naughts up the ground up or even stem the flow down back for periods if our defence is under siege.
Makes a lot of sense.
A post season haul of Keath, Bruce & one of Martin/Walla/Smith would be an A+ from me.
In theory sure, but in reality, of the 10 victorian clubs, most likely only at most 4 will meet with him (others will say he's not a priority/can't fit him into cap/etc) and of those 4, you're probably only getting at most 2 genuine contract offers at which point Freo basically have to ask him who they should negotiate with and Hill will say X and Y or X if possible, else Y.
I would put good offers in front of the players we are interested but I wouldn't allow the players managers to run us up higher than we should be prepared to pay.
If players and their managers can't see that we are an vastly better prospect than say Essendon or the Hawks then they would be coming to us for just the money and we don't need players like that
If Essendon lose to West Coast in round one of the finals this year then I think I read it's been something like 51 years since those stuck up pricks have won a final by anyone other than Sheedy coaching them. They might be a big club but as sure as shooting they aren't actually a successful one
Memo to Jack Martin, come out now and nominate us as your preferred destination and we will get to work to make that happen but if you can't make a decision we will look elsewhere. Arrive to thrive
