I agree Andyyy but for 2 points:-
Rioli and Bolton should be worth 2 x first rounders. This draft has plenty of flexibility with inside and outside mids. Reckon key forwards is best done in free agency.
Reckon Lynch can go another 3 years. Barely played these past 2 years and a decent preseason program which he has not been able to do for a few years (hopefully with someone new) gives me some optimism he can play on beyond next year.

Agreed that Bolton & Rioli are worth 2 firsts each.

I wouldn't dare trade Rioli to GCS straight for Jed Walter, but I'd be interested in including him in the deal.

Bolton straight up should just yield us some good picks unless Freo wants to trade either Amiss or Treacy (which I'm sure they won't).

Agree to disagree on Lynch. Heartbreaking, but unfortunately I cannot ever see him playing 20ish games/year again. I think 2025 will be another injury-interrupted season and probably his last, unless we shake off Meehan and someone turns Lynch into a younger man. Personally I think he'd do a LOT better if he shed some weight...

He's helping us bend over GCS?

Haha in all honesty hopefully that's a good indication they are both staying.

I can’t remember which north player people here were linking us with but if it was Bailey Scott he just re-signed for 3 years.

If Lukosius is interested in leaving GCS I'd be including him in a deal if D Rioli decides to go.

Also keen on Petracca but probably doesn't suit our rebuild phase.

2019 draft freo select

Young pick 7
Serong pick 8
Henry pick 9

Just goes to show we have to nail this draft. Quite a few bad calls in every draft.

No retreads from other teams hit the draft.

Cheaper on the TPP
Bigger upside
We can target the exact players we need
Not having to unlearn bad culture

Jeb Walters might be an exception

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

He's be a useful forward option given our stocks imo

Pass. Don’t rate him and not the type of forward we need imo. given we mostly bomb it inside 50 and probably will keep doing while we are cellar dwellers, we need someone take can take contested grabs and that ain’t jack.
