[eagles rule]

Not sure the FF3 was necessary but it's worth 3 5ths of **** all anyway.

It’s good for the sports quiz nights ..Wce have done the 1st Future future Pick trade ..

 

[Evo47]

Thanks for the memories Flyin! Have titillated the plums at times....

All the best at the Saints

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

****en dumb ****en move. wtf is this clarke thinking? waiting a year to use the pick is ****en stupid.

weve lost a contracted player for peanuts.

Yeah our 2026 flag chances have really taken a hit today.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Not looking forward to him sitting on Youngs head next year at Optus

Means a game against Saints at home so chalk it up in the W column at least.

 

[pantskyle]

Kinda feel like Ryan was worth more but also that's fine, not sure he has much left in him anyway.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Well, our small forward stocks are officially terrible.

Plenty of opportunity for Champion, Newton, Long and anybody else to lock down regular playing time in the senior side. Hell, even Owies could do it if he remembers how to play footy again!

It was very average anyway. With improvement comes more inside 50 entries and more opportunities for small forwards. We will be ok.

 

[GrumpyGoron]

throwing in the future third like the good blokes we are…

 

[Deepthroat]

Hutchinson should be playing the flying Ryan role next season.

This was the sort of role he was playing well in when we drafted him in '24.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Kinda feel like Ryan was worth more but also that's fine, not sure he has much left in him anyway.

he will get a little spike initially in a better team, thats ok and I hope he does well. But the reality is he wasn't helping us and was basically cruising.

 

[Elite Pete]

Didnt he have 2 years on his contract left?

OOC at the end of 2026

 

[Wooshaaaa]

****en dumb ****en move. wtf is this clarke thinking? waiting a year to use the pick is ****en stupid.

weve lost a contracted player for peanuts.

Back to Nepal you go then

 

[DJMac]

None of our old players, hates the club more.

Schofield does.

 

[maverick001]

History

flipping ridiculous

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Round 1 Owies intensifies.

 

[Bestbird]

Would have rather kept Ryan as our small/medium stocks are fairly weak or unproven. Owies will be happy though

 

[Astro7]

Good trade. Ryan looked pretty disinterested at times this year and was always quick to point the finger or blame a team mate when it didn’t go to plan. Think he’s an awesome player when he’s inspired but just not the player we need for rebuild. Does leave a pretty big void though so hopefully Long, Brockman, or Owies are able to step up this year.

Forgot about Long and Brockman...I don't even think about Owies, he's an enigma that could go either way next season...but there's also Newton and Champion.
A reasonable outcome for the Ryan trade, another plum pick for next year. He was looking lethargic and uninspired (winning 1 game can do that along with a few years of tough times). Good change for him and us. Will miss those sweet diagonal kicks inside 50.

 

[Keys]

And then there were four

Yeo
Duggan
Cole
Cripps

Premiership players from 2018 still on the list

 

[Hasselhough]

Tassie draft that F3 will be in the 50s you’d think

Why did we give it up at all .

I would have been happy just to keep ryan TBH

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

With the trio of Allen, Ryan and Chesser leaving plus Jamieson, Gov and Sheed retired/delisted, our Strength and Conditioning team will be on a drastic reduced workload.

None of the above 6 were what you would call durable.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

I'm no draft expert, but all i hear it is a weaker draft than normal.

Given how poor we are, and have been, why in hell would we want to give up one of the top two picks, why would we just not pick the two best players available, god knows we need talent.

It all depends on who we actually rate at 1 & 2, and where we think our 2 is likely to fall on the night.

For example, we take Duursma at 1 and rate Sharp second...but we know Sharp will fall a few places below that. It would be negligence on our part not to try and exploit that, trade down from 2, reap the benefits of that and still get our man in Sharp at a lower pick.

 

[ghostbat12]

Good news is that in 2027, eaglevision can all remind us all how in 2025 we should have known that some west Australian will be available at that pick in 2027.

 

[ghostbat12]

Saints F2 is thereabouts

A 2027 F3 is basically worthless especially when we’ll be back in finals by then

It’s all good, that will be about the same time when everyone at saints has had enough of Lyon and the club blows up.

 

[kane249]

Kinda feel like Ryan was worth more but also that's fine, not sure he has much left in him anyway.

Silver lining to getting rid of Barrass, Darling, Allen and Ryan is they all played 100 games with us, so we have access to their father/son/daughter picks.

Although that may no longer be a thing by the those kids are old enough

 

[eaglevision]

Good news is that in 2027, eaglevision can all remind us all how in 2025 we should have known that some west Australian will be available at that pick in 2027.

It’s actually a very good WA class lead by Axel and Angus but they won’t be available that deep.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Just catching up on the day.

Ryan deal is a good piece of business. I was hoping for just the F2, nothing back, but backing ourselves in with the future-future-third gives us time to climb the ladder. Tassie draft means it’s borderline worthless. Would have preferred to keep for vibes sake, but no bother.

Second rounders will be worth their weight in gold next year, with lots of teams needing high point totals to match bids and clubs only allowed to use two picks to match.

Go well Liam. Another bit of business done. Moving well this offseason.
