Spoiler

Current Draft Picks:
Round 1: 1, 2, 13
Round 2: 34, 41
Round 3: 53, 58 (These picks are in excess of available list spots so will be forfeited if we don’t consolidate our 2025 picks up the order or trade some for future picks)

List Spots Available (39 of 48):
• Main list (33 of 38) - 5* (in: Starcevich, Young out: Allen, Ryan, Chesser, Hunt, Petruccelle, Jamieson)
• Cat A rookie list (5 of 8) - 3* (in: Robertson (pending), out: Rawlinson)
• Cat B rookie list (1 of 2) - 2 (out: Livingstone)

* Matthew Clarke has stated we have 5 main list spots

Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I am not a big fan of Starcevich but understand why we got him.

Just out of interest, why's that mate?

I think in terms of his role (lockdown defender) he's in the top handful in the league.

 

[Seadog]

Is your username not just being ironic?

The idea of a Trumpster lecturing others on critical thinking is beyond irony.

 

[THE A5]

Agenda setters with Cleary stating we asked for Rowan Marshall, and are actively chasing a ruck

We’ll probably get Goldy to palm it down to swallow

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

4 of the top 9 on twomeys rankings are club tied picks mate.

Annable
Ulwind
Patterson
Dean

So eliminate them, and sharp comes in at .......wait for it......pick 5.

I wouldn’t take him at 5 personally.

The same way I wouldn’t have taken him at 1 back in April when EV was raving about him and I said that by time draft rolls around there’ll be 5-6 better prospects in front of him (and was proven right )

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeah, lets all be little children and pretend that if we ignore problems and make believe that we can't see them they will just magically go away.

Why don't you post a mature reasoned rebuttal of my point rather than failed attempts at snarky humour?

Classic, no notes.

 

[Tugga27]

Maybe. Guess we will find out between now and Friday.

As it stands we have picks 1 and 12 a reportedly weakish draft.

Reckon it will be 1, 2 and we still might try and upgrade for 12.

 

[Smotie2]

Devon Robertson?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I'm happy with that trade. We clearly have three objectives this trade/draft period:
-we are taking three live selections in the draft and we want all three to be top 10 selections.
-nail our trade targets in Starc, Young and Dev.
-have enough points to match bids on Banfield, Williams and Evans

I don't give a shit about picks beyond the late teens in a shallow draft. Trade them as needed to get three top 10 selections and enough points to bid match.

Clarke could trade a diamond for a potato and some people would talk it up as part of the master plan

Clarke has failed once again. Just accept it as opposed to justifying it

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Wonder if the fact Dev wasn’t included in this schmozzle means we have him earmarked for the rookie list

I think it's a simple formality at this stage. Lock that in.

Who? And they must be an inside mid. We need an inside midfielder first and foremost.

Explain you're rationale genius

More than happy to trade pick 2 so they can take CDT.

Duursma at pick 1 is untouchable.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

We will give up pick 32.... You are kidding if you think Clarke wont do it

 

[Bender_]

Devon Robertson?

Are you a receptionist in a doctors surgery?

 

[random260]

Duursma at pick 1 is untouchable.

Duursma lovers have such a hardon that they rate him somehow on the same realm as JHF and Harley.

Duursma may be pick 1 in this draft. But let's not overrate him. Hes alright

 

[TerryFilk]

Next move:
13 and Chesser for 10 and 41.

Move up 3 spots
Values Chesser at pick 32
+416 points for GCS pick
Blues only slide 3 spots

Would be ideal, but I don’t think Carlton would include 41 there and they will want a F1, not to downgrade their pick and make it harder to get one.

 

[The Gtrain]

Any chance Richmond want 1 and 12?
and we go in with 2,3,4?

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

It doesn’t need to be an inside mid.

It just needs to be a player who projects better than Sharp.

You don’t draft for needs with top 5 picks.

What a stupid strategy.

You take best available.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

We will give up pick 32.... You are kidding if you think Clarke wont do it

Somebody give this bloke a cuddle and a kiss on the forehead. Christ almighty

Be honest, this was your reaction before you even saw the details of the trade.

 

[JackOutback]

Are the lads making it up as they go now?

What do you mean now?

 

[Joeban]

Before posting hypotheticals like this, think to yourself - would you be happy about the eagles accepting the reverse of this?

 

[ShereKhan]

It costs us circa 60 points aka **** all. Essendon the only club who can come close to offering what we can in a move for GC’s pick, and we can wink wink nudge nudge offer far more by not bidding on Uwland.

It doesn’t weaken our GC pursuit whatsoever.

Unfounded melts.

I come in peace as was looking for details of this deal. The melting doesn’t need to start until you give Richmond pick-33 for Young, as that’s what i believe will happen.

Any threat of PSD won’t happen… it never does.

So you need to make sure you get enough ‘points’ from other trades.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Surely

 

[FatPizza]

Now that I've thought about it more clearly after work, that is a pretty good trade for us.
4 pick upgrade on pick 16, 10 pick downgrade on pick 33, plus Starcevich and pick 50.
Very strange deal for Freo upgrading pick 33 to 23 while downgrading 44 to 46 and also losing pick 50.
While Brisbane just has a 2 or 3 pick upgrade on 3 picks.
Any chance Twomey has gotten a few details incorrect?
Wouldn't be surprised if we're also giving up pick 57 to even it out?

You're just not being honest with yourself mate, apparently.

Wait a minute, we are also giving up pick 22???
This is a ****ing disaster if that's the case.
