List Mgmt. Welcome Campbell Chesser (Pick 14, 2021 National Draft)

[quackish]

Fully expecting a reaming here. Something like

Chesser to Blues
Hollands to Richmond
Young to Eagles.

Just shoot me now.

 

[Coasters7]

Has been on the cards the whole time unfortunately, had we made an offer earlier he would have accepted it but obviously had to balance that with performance.

TDK compo should be our goal given it’s likely to be after a Dean bid. Maybe Chesser, R2, and F2 for pick 10 and F3.

Pretty poor list management if that’s the case.

I know he hasn’t shown heaps but he’s a first round pick that hasn’t had a good go at it. We’ve also given extensions to guys like Hutchinson who have arguably shown less.

On a list like ours he should have been signed up a long time ago. May still not make it but he was never the worst player on the list even when he was in poor form.

 

[kranky al]

They can have pick 2 for free if they take Owies back

Shit I’ll throw in pick 1

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The guy can't even spell his surname right. Lets wait for some further reporting.

 

[darksquare]

A few weeks ago we were all wondering whether we would get any value from him at all, either on the field or via trade. A solid 4-week stretch has raised his value a bit - and if we were aware he was looking elsewhere, giving him a decent run was good strategy.

He's still a risk for Carlton, because he has very little exposed form. Some ability and skills, sure, but not many games where he's produced them consistently for 4 quarters.

I'd take a R2 pick (this year or next) or player of equivalent value.

 

[ziad]

They need to trade for him but anything they offer will be worth **** all and of no use to us.

I fully expect to get bent over on this and lose a first round prospect who was finally showing some potential for practically nothing.

Time to emulate Sydney.

Don’t think I need to clarify anything on my thoughts about our list manager. It was a no brainer to give him at least an extra year earlier with our list’s age profile. At least there is an actual counter argument here but it still doesn’t stack up.

 

[eaglevision]

TDK compo for 19 + Chesser?

That would be the fastest Matthew Clarke has moved in how time at West Coast.

Three clear wins there (Duggan, Ginbey, Reid), one jury still out (Allen), and 7 failures (albeit two of them taken at the arse end of the draft because of Tim Kelly

).

Also, look at how many mid-first round type picks we've taken (Duggan, Venables, Brander, Chesser, Allen). Who the **** looks at a natural draft haul of Duggan, Venables and Brander, and thinks, you know what, lets ****ing double down on that, trade down and deliberately draft more players in that draft range when we don't have to!

 

[mattyc75]

I guess the most important question in regards to him being an immediate hit with Carlton is will he drive over??
Certainly seemed to get him an extra year or 2 with us

 

[EagleEgo]

With Carlton and St Kilda so active in FA and trades, I am not surprised there will head coaches position available in 2026

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Venables is unfortunate given his concussion retirement.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Venables is unfortunate given his concussion retirement.

He showed even less than Chesser in the games he played.
He averaged 9 touches per game and 0.5 goals.

 

[EaglesOz]

Really dissapointing from Chesser (mostly) and the club (partially as i think there would have been too little communication from them).

After 4 years of development, you would expect more from Chesser, or at the very least you would expect him to copy Baker in saying "I expect the Eagles to get fair compensation".

His worth is at its lowest, yet his payoff and potential at its highest. He could break out next year, and unless we get fair value it will be hard not to cheer against him.

 

[Jaspar24]

And our club list age profile gets younger…. This club is fast becoming a feeder club and a joke. Pretty poor from chess after the club sat by him and his injuries.

 

[Elite Pete]

Is the guy doing the tweet actually a good source?

Blues nuffie but tied up with Sen so you’d think might have some Blues intel.

for him. Any pick we would get would be utter dogshit and you’d think they wouldn’t want to give up any decent youth. We were supposedly linked to him earlier in the season aswell

 

[Barrybran]

It's a good question though. It suggests that it's more want than actual at the moment.

 

[Lia]

I would have one more throw at the stumps with the offer for Campbell. Think the potential regret of losing him would be greater than if he actually is a dud and we kept him a year too long.

He's 31 next year and not very good.

That's a strong pass from me.

Sounds like it's too late for that.

 

[ziad]

Mini has stated Campbell is a tellented player, more recently after he was on the park Mini stated that is ankle issue will have to be carried for the rest of his career. Just perhaps the club is being honest with players in presenting deals and Campbell is seeking an easier path? Carlton have been in his ear for 12 months just like Ryan and Allen respectively.

 

[Elite Pete]

It's a good question though. It suggests that it's more want than actual at the moment.

Yeah if true it’s a little disappointing, seemed to have a good relationship with Mini and close with Harley. Seemed to always be out with the lads and all we keep hearing is how the young boys are planning on sticking together and build also Perth misses I believe.

Eagles did the right thing to have a look before they offered him a contract. Did look decent on the wing in a small sample size and perfect for where the game is going. Can run forward and back.

Will be a trade unders now that we have to turn into a positive. Hit the pick or the player we get to replace him (McVee? Even though it sounds like he’s not that interested in returning to WA)

 

[quackish]

He's 31 next year and not very good.

That's a strong pass from me.

Better than getting a pick in the 50s or 60s that we’d never use
