If we're not prepared to play SPS in the middle then trading him makes sense....we've got a plethora of "half back" players now.

If we lose another mid to the bombers, heads should roll.
Bomber always go crazy with money, I like Cerra but if they have offered more than Freo are meant to have offered ie 750K a year for four then you have to ask yourself is he worth it considering  some of our recent large purchases.

Tom Browne suggested Essendon is where he looking to go...

Let Freo back themselves in to play there.
We have 'broken him' by playing him as a HBF.

There is enough upside for them to take a risk IMO.

Plus, SPS doesn't like the cold weather and performs better in the heat.
Maybe if he chased, tackled and worked harder he wouldnt be so cold......what are we running a nursing home or a football club?

The thing is that Samo should be in our best 22, and would be if he wasn't played out of position.  Other clubs must be well aware that we have been stuffing him around and, if they're interested, it won't be to play him on the HBF.

Cmon mate, some players thrive in wet, cold, miserable conditions. Others love perfect conditions.

FYI, that comment was pure speculation and a point i'd be highlighted to Freo as a reason why he'd be good for them. Wink

Don't mind Fisher .... but he and SPS?  Yep

If we include a hot water bottle and some thermal undies for the odd cold day in Freo then that should seal the deal then.... Wink
Seriously I did know what you meant, I was just enjoying some light banter Smile  and I do agree that SPS would prefer a dry track where he can keep his feet and use his undoubted skills to better effect.

Ship him off back to the warmer WA and get the best deal we can for him. I wont lose one iota of sleep if he goes.

Undoubted? A bit rich.
