Are they announcing this at the halfway mark of the Brownlow count or something?

I Wanna start hypothetically trading pick 19 for someone that "should make us better"

Probably comes right after the announcement of the lowest ever team count.

We approached Jesus, but apparently his time on the cross left him with some residual health issues and he was also adamant that he didn't want to play second fiddle to Harley. He said he'd get back to WC sometime after the second coming.

In the same way that last year's winner hands out this year's Brownlow, the previous handout 'winner' should have to announce the next one. Throw to clarko during the ceremony tonight and have him do it, great TV
 
Feel like this could be a bad sign. Eagles Exec and Comms team given time to go in to damage control to shape and manage the messaging with us, the faithful.

I’d say the club would have leaked to say Rihno and bashed the afl decision.

Won't be any news tonight now.

Makes me think they have presented a package to West Coast and we were less than thrilled.

Perhaps conversations continuing to take place.
Yep, if it was a simple ā€˜thank you very much sir’ from Pyke & Co then it would be out by now. I reckon we should temper our expectations. Maybe Gerard ā€˜Gusher’ Whately was on the money this morning and the Eagles exec are pushing back so there’s more deliberation required.

I personally am of the view that we shouldn’t have asked for compo. We will get there again with the core of what we have (ie. Harley and friends), or not, and if we do I don’t want the purple flogs or anyone else being able to spill vitriol on taint.

Nah **** that, those purple w***ers will pull anything out of their arse no matter what, they still reckon they were rightful 2006 premiers because they beat us twice during the season :drunk:

Don't underestimate the effect of priority picks. We've had players from priority picks play in each of our 2006 and 2018 flags. Early 90s was a bit different (we had a bunch of restrictions when we built the inaugural squad).

Shuey and Darling were too from 2018, so it's not like it was some token thing that didn't help us.

Draft is also totally compromised with Academies, so we need something just to try and stay even. Good on Freo and Adelaide for trying to do it off their own backs, but I haven't seen much come from it yet.
