Fremantle's current 3 x 1st round picks would equal nearly 3,900 points
To put that in perspective the Jason Horne Francis deal netted North Melbourne around 3,800 points in a trade.
Fremantle need to keep a first round pick and Richmond may be able to trade with Gold Coast for their pick 20 (1st round pick).
Lots to play out between now and trade time.
At least going by Justin Longmuir's comments Fremantle are interested -

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir says Shai Bolton would make his team better, as the Richmond star prepares to lodge a trade request.
Bolton wants to return home to Western Australia for family reasons and the Dockers are best-positioned to satisfy the Tigers in a trade deal, armed with two first-round picks in this year’s draft
Reports emerged out of Melbourne emerged on Monday the dynamic forward had asked to be traded. These were disputed, but it still appears likely Bolton will tell Richmond he wants to move home if a trade can be sealed.
Longmuir told 7NEWS on Tuesday night he had not met with Bolton personally, but said the 25-year-old would be a boost for his club.
“I haven’t, he’s obviously contracted, so respect that contract and in the end the ball is in his court. I haven’t met him no,” he said.
“Clearly someone of his ability and someone of his experience would help us, and help us become a better team.
“Those things will play out later in the season and like I said before, it’s in Shai’s hands at the moment. We will wait and see.”
