I know, what I'm saying is it would've been better to just receive 10 & 11 without sliding 14 back to 18, however if Baker went to Freo, this is what we would've received anyway. Maybe I could've stated that clearer.
I think we lost the trade, but not badly and agree Blair did a great job under the circumstances. He's doing a great job, great.
The headline:
THREE first-rounders for Bolton
Technically true, but we're giving one back that is in a higher position than one of the ones we've received. It's almost like the AFL site is trying to hype this to cue strong reactions...Any confirmation dockers actually offered that deal through ??
Players wanted out cannot stop them. Simple your either in or out for the new ride.
Just saw that, unbelievable. Its not technically true, its three first rounders for Bolton and a first rounder.
Its the same if I buy some chewy and only have a $100 note. 'Man hands over $100 for chewy'
Yeh I think we will swap 6 and 10 for pick 2 won’t happen today though will be closer to the draft
Very good deal for both clubs.
As much as we (and anyone else) want a player like Bolton, the next best thing if he wants out to leverage his contract for worth.
Theres a nice little Easter Egg on the AFL app (I believe from Freo media) for Cornes to educate himself on.
“Just goes to show what it costs to extract star players from clubs when they've got long contracts in place.”
As a reminder of the possible difference between picks 14 and 18, here are the last ten of those respectively. Not sure which number has the edge here (possibly 18)
Jake Rogers
Darcy Wilson
Elijah Hewitt
Josh Weddle
Campbell Chesser
Angus Sheldrick
Heath Chapman
Ryan Angwin
Miles Bergman
Mitch Georgiades
Jackson Hately
Xavier Duursma
Matthew Ling
Brandon Starcevich
Harry Perryman
Sam Powell-Pepper
Eric Hipwood
Jade Gresham
Jake Lever
Isaac Heeny

This has been a very mature response from the club. Losing Bolton, Rioli and Baker is very conflicting but it had to be done.
In an ideal world, they would have been key pieces over the next few years but circumstances have prevented it. We have the least exciting group of under 23s in the competition and drastic measures were needed to address this imbalance.
Hartley and Toce now have a huge responsibility to get the next step right. If they botch up too many of these picks, then it will all have been in vain.
Still, phase 1 has been a massive success. It gives us a chance.
