Just read up about Sam Swadling who was taken at 37, his bio looks pretty good so surprised WCE took Allen instead of them. Speculating that committing to the Roberston/Macrae/Schoey may have turned their heads to other positional needs rather then the inside mid role that we all wanted to be...
I’m not saying he is. I’m saying that I think that’s a pretty strong combination and gives us a couple chances to get a serviceable inside midfielder for free plus CDT. Not sold on either Phillips or Dev becoming super stars but fire two shots we have a better chance of hitting once.
If Eagles pick up Phillips and the Deliverance, I’d be feel like getting Dursma @1, CDT @2 and Farrow @13 would be pretty bloody good effort. I’d Probably skip CDT in preference of Sharp if Phillips doesn’t come onboard tho.
Pretty sure Hobbs has been playing wing, half forward and sub most of the time at Ess. Not sure if his past stats would reflect his future potential as inside mid.
Can some one explain why Dev can “walk” to us as a delisted free agent through the pre season supplementary period but Ah chee cant do the same to Adelaide ? Seems odd.
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...
I’m hoping Eagles hold onto our picks in the 30s. My understanding is that with so many players to be bid on early in the draft, lots of the vanilla 20-40 picks will be consumed in the process such that our 30s picks may end up 20picks ?
