Miller pick 29
Steele pick 24
Merrett pick 26
Neale pick 58
Fyfe pick 20
Shuey pick 18
Yeo pick 30
Dangerfield pick 10

So we gotta go back 5 years to prove your point? What about something recent guys? Anyone in the last 5 years for example?

So if the club decided to go the rebuild you couldnt see the club trading Gaff for a pick in the late teens / early 20's and say pay $200k in 2022 and even 2023?

Eagles get another decent pick, save $600k x 2 years and can possibly look at trading in a younger talent such as a Sharp.

So yet another self imposed trade restriction. We do seen to like imposing various trade bans to restrict our trade options.

I could see them trading Gaff if he wants to go.
I said I could never see them paying around a quarter of a million dollars to pay for a players wage who isn't at the club.

Still waiting for my apologies about Jarrod Brander

Sack up guys

Throw 50 darts at one board and hope sticks.

I call it the old Hagdorn special.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

After all the picks we gave up for TK I'd be extra hesitant to give up multiple high picks for a player we don't necessarily need.

We only need one epic 'give away the farm' trades in my lifetime. We should have learned from **** burn on how they have failed at that every single time.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Haha love it.

Name one
Here's one
Yeah but name another!

Yeah I forgot that one. Sue me.

It still stands up though what im saying.

Lets put it this way. We won 1 flag with the best midfield combo in AFL history and had zero dynasty. Why do you think that was?

A few of them were drug addicts and the club imploded.

I got 3 bullseyes not 1 mate

1. Hasnt started contract negotiations - Bullseye
2. We havnt gone back to him to start them - Bullseye
3. Hawthorn are the team who want him - Bullseye

Man up and stop being a lil bitch

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Man wins a Brownlow but the drug addiction was a issue? Yeah okay

Thats a cop out for sure. The reason was Lynch and Hansen being passable and mediocre.

There are so many other factors that come into winning a flag and there is no formula. It's far too simplistic to just say 'no good KPFs = no flag' just as it is to say 'shit midfield = no flag'. Both happen.

 

[shooshka]

Chad Fletcher, Rookie Draft
Daniel Kerr, pick 18
Matt Priddis, Rookie Draft
Elliot Yeo, pick 30
Luke Shuey, pick 18
Dean Kemp, pick 117

It's not impossible to get a good one outside the top 5

Even outside of our club there are plenty of examples (looking at the last decade of Brownlow winners):

Neale - 58
Fyfe - 20
Mitchell(T) - 21 (F/S)
Martin - 3
Danger - 10
Priddis - rookie
GAJ - 40 (F/S)
Mitchell(S) - 36, Cotchin - 2 (Watson - 40 F/S)
Swan - 58
Judd - 3

I mean the current crop (Bont, Petracca, Martin, Oliver, Parish, Walsh) are all high picks - but it isn't always that way.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Richmond before Lynch for sure now I think about it. Forgot the Ty Vickery days

I mean really thougj, We can really name 2 in the last 20 years at best and 1 that hasnt happened yet. Says alot Id have thought?

Oh we’re going back that far?

Geelong’s first flag came with a Mooney/Nathan Ablett pairing. Collingwood won with Cloke and Chris Dawes. Sydney had … Sam Reid and Goodes I guess? Hawthorn won two flags after Franklin left and Roughead only had Gunston as a sort of key forward. Even our pairing of Lynch and Hansen wasn’t exactly an AA combo.

If it was up to me id give up 1st rounder + Brander for Jeremy Sharp. Get him out of GC failure factory and he will become a AA wingman

Jeremy Sharp pick 27

Eh that's not anything special.

That is a typical situation that happens with un contracted players every year.

Hawks an easy guess with Mitchell and Hickmott at the hawks.

Except you said I was lieing at that exact timeas a flat out repsonse to that post? Then someone trawled up a Twitter post that said I was wrong and then low and behold AFL.com.au release a few articles that prove im correct and you cry about it

Apologise like a man

Did you forget what happened at the end of season '07?

But apart from all those examples it never happens Migs!?1?!?!

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Should have won flags well before that though? Our dynasty should have been 2004,2005,2006,2007

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

His example incliudes one of the best footballers of all time in Adam Goodes and its a good example? Yeah okay

 

[kane249]

Yes because Goodes was a renowned FF/CHF who's reputation was formed by playing those positions

 

[Chris_6678]

Is Sharp still contracted?

He is not worth a first round pick.

 

[Bacchus]

Let’s not rewrite history.
The great midfield and the club fell to pieces.
Judd, captain, and one of the great three, was hobbled with injury and went home to Victoria.
Cousins, former captain, dropped out of the game due to drug addiction.
Kerr, the last of the three, battled on on his own but also had drug and injury issues.
A number of role players were then exposed and dropped out. Fletcher, Chick, Hunter come to mind, probably others.
The wheels fell off completely. Club was in a dark place for a few years.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

He won AA up forward twice in his career? Next you will say Dustin Martin isnt a good forward

 

[DanWCE]

This thread

 

[amazingjoshy]

He is not worth a first round pick.

The poster who says he is a future AA is also saying you can't draft a star mid outside of the top 5

Seems inconsistent

 

[ronpingwins]

The CHF for the Swans that year was Lewis Roberts-Thomson, not Goodes.

Regardless, 1st pick doesn’t seem to have anyone that’s a Dixon type anywhere near there in the rankings, Amiss may go top 10 but seems to be more of a lead up full forward. Are we that desperate that we go with Amiss (195cm) or whoever is the best 200cm forward, or do you think we will go with the best available in this case. I’m really attached to getting Matthew Johnson. (Assuming English isn’t available).
