Trade Requested Deven Robertson - Requested a trade to the West Coast

[amazingjoshy]

Well yeah - he ain't coming to the Eagles?

What's your point?

I don't doubt the club is trying, but Robertson has made it clear he is open to moving to Victoria, where he will find at least one middle of the pack suitor, probably more (think Carlton, Melbourne, Essendon).

All trump the prospect of starting fresh at rock bottom - especially when your main card to play is 'I couldn't crack the best but I can probably play for the rest'.

Oops

He walks into your starting midfield
Good get

He'll be given an opportunity but starting midfield would be a stretch at the minute. Yeo, Reid, Hewett, Kelly is likely our starting midfield pending other moves, including the draft.

Have said it all year - will never be an Eagle.

Will be keen to join the Dogs if they have come sniffing.

Besides Yeo which may be wishful thinking, that’s quite an unbalanced midfield with little to no defensive accountability.

Nice use of the Dev-astator meme on this major Dev-elopment.

On a side note, don't listen to me obviously, I have no idea.

Well yeah, why do you think we won one game?

Bro, Yeo doesnt play and Kelly wants to eb doing anything else. Dev walks straight in to protect Reid.

So once Yeo does a soft tissue halfway through rd 1

 

[Tandy]

About time.

That's optimistic to think Yeo won't be injured in the preseason

I was being kind and hoping he gets through pre season. I can’t remember the last time I saw him play a game.

He played 20 games in 2024, his best run since 2019

I just hope that on 2:25pm on the Friday we tell Dev Robertson we have had a change of mind and instead will be giving a 1 year deal to Alex Cincotta instead

List clogger.

List clogger.

Played in the 2023 GF, was in the VFL team of the year this year and just won the VFL B&F for Brisbane...

FYI we've just won 2 premierships in a row... fair chance there might be one or two decent AFL level players in our reserves team no?

Cool story. Doesnt mean hes not a list clogger.

Jacob Townsend won the JJ Liston and an AFL premiership in 2017. After that he played 25 more games at 3 different clubs and was finished before he turned 29.

Not going to argue with you there, Richmond did have a few list cloggers on their premiership teams.

He is 1000% a list clogger in every sense of the word. We know this too. Its why the clubs gone in and asked for 4 extra rookie spots. That change lets us pick up a guy like Dev Robertson so we can get a guy like Koby Evans onto the rookie list as opposed to reaching and putting him on our main list.

Koby Evans is a draft pick we simply should be giving a go given the risk/reward of it all

The 4 extra spots need to go towards list cloggers primarily and mature bodies. We are likely to pick up even a bigger list clogger in Tom Berry too but its more or less with the same reason. We have 4 spots now whih is primarily going to go towards list cloggers so we can take Koby Evams/Tylah Williams/Charlie Banfield and give them a chance to develop

It wasn't meant as an insulted as the Lions poster took it. Every club needs role players. Jack Graham would've been that for us this year. He would've played every game but hes not a needle mover and would've taken games off a kid. That's a list clogger.

Lord Townsend

couldn’t be a less exciting trade in if we tried. Absolute nothing burger, and it says more about how bad we are that he’ll actually get a game
