It's been said, at this point we have:

- Picks 1, 2 (likely) & 12 to bring in high end talent.

- Later picks for Young & NGA recruits.

- Then extra rookie spots for Dev and other NGA's and F/S's not worth picks

- With possible picks from Chesser and Ryan still to come

Plus Starcevich coming in.

This is a pretty good result (not so much Chesser and Ryan leaving but can't control that). People calling the draft shallow, then getting angry that we've dropped middling picks to get more to the pointy end need to decide what exactly it is they want.

 

[Hasselhough]

We were in such a good position to get pick 7 from GC

22 for starcivich

We still had 16 + 23 + ryan

Feel like we have own goaled

 

[maverick001]

Well we just locked in a trade on Tuesday that could've been done any time between now and next Wednesday. For what benefit exactly?

To ease everyone’s suffering
Probably saved a couple marriages and a heart attack for WC members

 

[Scotland]

Because, just like you said yourself, trade week ends next Wednesday.

Unless you think this is the only trade WCE will be involved in, for some reason?

With the way we trade I wouldn't mind that.

I don't understand why we are in such a hurry. Is there a bidding war for Brandon Starcevich I'm not aware of?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Good business if true.

 

[Cuzz09]

If Starcevich gets medically retired due to concussion in the first year and we battle again then we can really play the sympathy card in terms of another assistance package.

 

[InTheWings]

I'd be shocked if 33 was used on Young. More likely he'll be involved in some way with the Chesser deal.

It may also help to cover off a bid for Tylar Williams if, as some pundits saying, he attracts an early bid after his combine achievements.

The Dockers / Eagles / Brisbane pick exchange and trades has and had so many layers to it, including Freo’s interest in West Coast NGA prospect Tylah Williams, who is soaring up the draft pick order. #AFLTrade

Does this mean Freo are not interested in Tylah?

 

[bzparkes]

With the way we trade I wouldn't mind that.

I don't understand why we are in such a hurry. Is there a bidding war for Brandon Starcevich I'm not aware of?

There's other trades needing to be done. No need to hold things up for no reason. For instance, Freo have already traded pick 23 to Melbourne for Judd McVee.

Why wait to the last minute and miss out on other potential trades for no reason?

 

[TY24]

Can someone give me a brief summary of the last 20 pages? Who's happier, team yellow sheets or team dry sheets?

 

[Bender_]

And you can pretend it was totally unforeseeable and that you weren't wrong in pretending the issue wasn't real when we traded for him. Which i know you will.

And it won't take 4 years for him to get a head knock. That soft head contact that took him out of the GF would happen to most players a couple of times a year, but it is not enough to concuss players who don't already have extensive bruising of their brain tissue. We will find out well before 4 years just how big the problem is.

Instantly regret engaging you in a reasonable manner.

 

[darksquare]

Pick 16 & 23 = 1,577 points or after Allen compo (17 & 24 ..1500 points)

Pick 12, 33 & 52 = 1,564 points. (13, 34 & 53... 1468 points)

I think we just waved goodbye to pick 6-7 boys and girls.

+ what we get from Chesser, Ryan trades ...

Some combination will be workable.

 

[The_Reaper]

Can someone give me a brief summary of the last 20 pages? Who's happier, team yellow sheets or team dry sheets?

Sheets wet from daytime wet dreams but have since dried.

 

[boondy]

What is the point of pick 33 and 50 something comeing to us? Are we even going to use them? Is that just window dressing to make us feel better about ourselves and placate the fan base?

There is a chance we only take 3 picks in the main draft if Ryan stays .
Maybe we put a couple on Rookie list in case we have to match F/s or NGA

 

[Bender_]

Can someone give me a brief summary of the last 20 pages? Who's happier, team yellow sheets or team dry sheets?

Wet sheets started off strong, then team dry sheets came in thinking they'd won. In the end it's probably slightly leaning towards dry sheets, but wet sheets are now complaining coz having more picks is better than having better picks.

 

[InTheWings]

Does this mean it's official?

 

[PRANKSTER666]

We should still be able to get Gold Coasts pick 7 if we want it and Essendon don't come hard for #1 player we don't want.

GC have two of the best players in the draft that should expect some bids at 1 or 2 so its time to leverage the only power we have during the season for a points exchange and no bids promise.

 

[Elite Pete]

Might need points for Williams…. Will be in first round range if Freo use their pick in the 20s for him. Don’t want to go into deficit for 2026 F1 round pick

 

[Elite Pete]

Does this mean it's official?

No.

 

[Altum Volantes]

So is both picks in the 20s confirmed?

If so then that's not exactly a win is it.

 

[eaglevision]

1,2,13,34,38,53,58 after Oscar compo

1/ 13,34,38,53 for 7 from GCS no bids
2/ 58 for Young or PSD
3/ 2 for 5, 21
4/ Ryan and Chesser for 2 x F2s

1-Duursma
5-Sharp
7-Cumming
21-Dalton/Thredgold/Curtin

 

[sey666]

If Starcevich gets medically retired due to concussion in the first year and we battle again then we can really play the sympathy card in terms of another assistance package.

Nobody forced us to trade him in

 

[Weshi]

Can someone give me a brief summary of the last 20 pages? Who's happier, team yellow sheets or team dry sheets?

Depends which side of the bed you lay on!

 

[InTheWings]

A DEAL sending Brandon Starcevich to West Coast has been agreed upon by Brisbane and the Eagles, with Fremantle also involved in the three-club trade.

The deal will be ratified by the AFL on Wednesday but has been agreed by the clubs. AFL.com.au revealed what the deal was shaping up to be, with the trade set to see a swathe of picks change hands.

It will see the Eagles land the two-time premiership winner as well as picks 12, 33 and 52, and give up picks 16, 22 and 23.

The Lions are set to receive picks 16, 22, 44 and 50 as part of their haul, in exchange for losing Starcevich, pick 19, 46 and 52.

The Dockers cracked open the trade by using their pick No.12 to include in the trade, seeing them slide back for multiple selections. Fremantle will trade in picks 19, 23 and 46 in exchange for 12, 33, 44 and 50.

Pick 23 is expected to be immediately tabled for Judd McVee in a deal that could go through with Melbourne on Wednesday as well.

With this deal done, the expectation is the paperwork for Oscar Allen's free agency move to Brisbane comes through on Wednesday which is set to seal the Eagles a prized No.2 pick in this year's draft. - Callum Twomey

 

[Bradis]

Any Chance that the deal for Chesser looks like this

WC Out: Chesser & 33
WC In: 21

Values Chesser at Pick 35

Would leave us 1,2,12 & 21 with 37 (Young), 52 and 57 as matched bid options for Evans and Banfield
