It's hard to understand. One minute they are lowballing Acres and Logue, next minute they don't need to trade Lobb and can somehow afford to bring in O'Meara who would have to be on reasonable dollars.

Hawthorn will pay most of his salary. That helps

I think this is the reason Acres management was so upset. They KNEW Freo had sufficient salary cap room...they just had no inclination to use any of it on a contract for Blake.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Very odd decision, he wasn't in their top 10 at the B and F though so maybe internally they just don't rate him.

They use a very different model to assess players but its working for them.

Heard nothing regarding Rowe from the Crows.
I thought once Rankine came in something might happen there but seems like no one is interested.

DFA pick up, potentially
Or we leave a list spot open and pick him up in the PSD IF our small forward draft targets are gone

I think it's more a case of who wants him as a DFA
