OK, my bad. Move on.
In exchange for losing Ridley, Delaney and Kickett, Essendon was given Fremantle’s first round pick (No.4) in the 1994 national draft as well as a concession selection.
Not really a trade, more of a daylight robbery.
No seriously Gorth,
WTF is this?
I know it really worked out for them in the 90s but WTF!
The trade that got that ■■■■ diesel to FC is also ridiculous (someone old enough to remember wasn’t it also incredibly dodgy?)
Go through that first year of Freo trading. They also spunked away ■■■■■■■ McLeod and Jeff Farmer.
Imagine an early Freo side with Lucas, Lloyd, McLeod and Farmer!

Despite all these monumental fark ups, they still managed to win a final in 20 years. only took them 11 years and they let 4 hall of famers go for peanuts.
Massimo for a 4th round pick.

Not a trade, but we used pick 15 in the afl draft to get Doc Whieldon

I still blame the taxi and not Doc for where that one went wrong

I’d have definitely demanded Dodoro’s sacking for allowing Budgie to the Bulldogs.

It took a while, but Hurley eventually squared up for that hit.

They couldn’t access Lloyd.
Only clubs that lost players to Freo got a pick in that 16 year old draft.

It hurt with every 2000 premiership player, i reckon we would have gone bonkers each time losing guys like caracella, hardwick, etc

Glenn Hawker to FARK CARLTON for Pick 23 at the end of 1988 would’ve melted down the servers. Two time premiership player and all pulling on the Navy Blue. But Pick 23 ended up being a good one (Michael Long).
Drafting Daniel McAllister at Pick 5, giving him the #4 jumper fresh off losing Wanganeen. Yeah that would’ve been tasty!
