Traded Deven Robertson - Traded to 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

 

[Barrybran]

I am willing to lower my asking price for Dev to a late first rounder, WCE.

Sounds good. We'll throw in an F4 for Neale.

 

[Shueygod]

You said he'd be top 3 at the Eagles .

Now you've fipped flopped to best 22.

Yes Dev would be best 22 ATM. No debate there.

Nowhere near top 3 and never will be.

So it was a troll. Got it.

Doubt he would, rather Yeo, Reid, Hough, Hewett and even Graham through the middle

 

[Pure_Ownage]

WAFL for him.

 

[OldBlueEagle]

What is his status in 2026 as report on AFL.com only has starcevitch and Ahchee unsigned for 2026?

Probably don't realize Dev's there!

Specifically says 'premiership players'.

There's a lot more than Ah Chee, Starcevich and Robertson out of contract at the lions.

 

[txbyhull]

doubt it, reports are he's doing well in the VFL as a half back player. And given west coasts squad right now, he would probably be in their best 1-3 players.

Elite rage bait

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Simmo gave him a good clip on the radio a week or two ago. Talking about how he didn’t come and “now he never plays”

That's ok he's played wing and forward in finals teams too. Unless you're absolutely stacked in those positions as well.

We certainly wouldn’t be recruiting him for a forward position, not convinced he’s better than either Maric or Chesser on a wing.

He’d be on the outskirts of the 22 at best.

Certainly wouldn’t be a lock.

Care to share what’s funny about this post? Both Maric and Chesser have shown better form at AFL level this season than Robertson ever has and both are younger.

Wouldn’t be picking him up at all in any role. Clearly shows a lack of understanding about our list that old mate reckons he even gets on the field for us

, all for the low price of a late first rounder

 

[Barrybran]

Dev can be wces ben keays, all for the low price of a late first rounder

Throw in Lachie Neale and we have a deal

16 for Dev, Neale, Ah Chee and Starcevich sounds about right

 

[Farang83150]

To the Tom Price Eagles.

 

[Elixuh]

The price is now a mid first rounder

Keep him

Take that Centrals

 

[PrancingPony]

Wouldn't take him at Fremantle if he decided to return home, definitely happy to let him go to West Coast.

 

[jackag24]

Dont mind him but his stats are remarkably uninspiring for a mid

 

[Toffee Lion]

Should have moved clubs for the betterment of his career a year or two ago.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Interest from Bulldogs apparently.

I'm surprised GC wouldn't be interested.

 

[Testekill]

It feels like a lateral move for Robertson to come to us. He won't get much more opportunities and would be playing primarily VFL.

 

[crankygeese]

He'll probably just be delisted if he wants to go somewhere. The Lions won't get much for him, if they get anything at all.
