Happens to be in the same town I live in.
Does the local team need a captain coach?
We have no football team, but a great cricket club.
He could sign up for my 2nd grade team. We have no draft picks but do a killer afternoon tea.

24 for mav is laughable.

And the rainman appraisal on draft pick points is pretty meaningless, if we can get a top 3 pick and an early second for 7&8 we'll do it.

Freo playing hardball could benefit us. surely pick 7 or 8 would sate them and is fair. So we hit the Suns up for pick 2 and something else for 7 and 8. They get weller and a low pick, we get a much better shot at a gun. What else they throw in could be a second rounder. All depends on what the clubs feel is out there in the draft and where.

Lachie Weller has one year left on his contract.
Fremantle have tabled an extension of 4 years so 5 years in total.
Fyfe got a 6 year deal reported worth 1.3 million per year = 7 million (yeah I know the math can't be right).
Anyhow that is a monster package.

Could it be that Lachie and agent think the offer made to Lachie is too low.
They could be using Gold Coast as a wedge.
Either Fremantle up the offer now because he is not signing the extension.
If he does not leave for Gold Coast this trade period, it makes it harder for Fremantle next year.
Working against Lachie and Fremantle is the fact that despite playing the whole season he did not finish in Fremantle top 10 best and fairest.

So Weller wants to go to the Gold Coast just for his missus?

Is this for real?

Listen, if Lachie Weller couldn't get into Freo's top ten B&F list, then WHY the hell would the St Kilda footy club show even the slightest interest?!

The Suns don't want to give up pick 2 for him.
Is there any way we can prise pick 2 off them in exchange for our pick 8?
And some shuffling of later pics, or something else.

Would their be any combo that could work for each club?
