West Coast copper has plenty of heat over their splitting of pick three to acquire Liam Baker and Matt Owies, can they appease their angry fans with a good trade for Tom Barrass?

Fremantle will hope they can break the deadlock over Shai Bolton and finally acquire a key piece of their premiership puzzle.
