    Hope you’re right. Just feels like we are losing Ryan and Cripps who were our two best small fwds. The rest are NGA’s and late picks. Quantity doesn’t make up for quality

    Watching some of the Tigers draft videos I think they’ll want Sharp if we split with Essendon. They need to replace Hopper and Taranto and after all the talls they took last year I think they go mid. If we split with the Dons I’m worried we go CDT anyway. Then Dons take Duursma, Tigers Sharp...

    Yeah somewhere around 20. Dovaston, NHH, Barker, Poo around that mark. Would love a good small forward. Or even better use it to trade up to take who we want

    Or we could just take the two players we want and that fits our list needs the best, regardless of the supposed rankings. Otherwise we are relying on seeing what’s left after others have picked. Take the best two and then see who slides to the Hawks pick. Or even better use hawks pick to move...

    You had me until the 2&15 for 5 & 10 trade. Don’t see the point in that. There’s a much bigger talent gap between 2 and 5 then there is between 10 and 15. Especially when 5 becomes 8 or 9

    Sorry I must be dense. We're not asking the AFL to say that they can't match our offer, just that if they don't match it won't dilute our compo for losing Allen yeah? They still have the option of matching and forcing a trade regardless of what our compensation is for Allen. To me it seems like...

    Yeah, I understand that but how does not diluting our free agency compo for Allen affect their ability to match?

    This is the narrative I don't understand. I've heard Cal say it a couple of times. How does not diluting our free agency compo affect Brisbane matching the offer? I must be missing something because I don't get it. They could still match if they want to keep him, couldn't they?

    How are clubs and the media not winging about the Lions. Premiers last year, prelim at least this year. Now they get the top 2 free agents, a top 5 draft pick and a priority pick handed out by the AFL. You would think the other clubs would be pissed if the AFL gave us a priority pick, just to...

    Devil's advocate but it could also go down. They could let the two brothers do the recruitment job for them and try to entice Duursma back after his rookie contract. It will definitely be distracting talk. It would also put some doubt in Eagles minds about the go home factor.

    Nah I agree with you, who needs a midfield anyway, we can just field a whole team of hybrids :thumbsu: Winning contested ball is overrated, we can revolutionise the AFL with a team of ruck forwards and back flanker mids.

    Played forward pocket a lot. Also had a 20d, 7 tackle, 6 clearances, 1g goal game and 22D 12mark game to show he can present as well. Also as an underager had a 21D, 10 tackle, 1G, 5 clearance game in an elimination final

    Sharp is better in the contest, better defensively, better overhead, better leadership, high iq and he has great hands too. All AFL traits. Disagree he looked out of place at league level. Played well forward with brief stints in the middle. Plus his underage game in the finals last year was...

    The Sharp talk reminds me of the Murphy Reid talk last year. Not athletic enough apparently. Even though he gets from contest to contest fine.

    So according to Gettable, we are meant to trade our assistance package pick to the Lions for Starcevich even though they would've got nothing for him through free agency. It's not like they could compete with our $ offer. Instead of allowing us to not offset our free agency compo for Allen...

    Would love Neale and Starcevich. We’ve got no one else to pay, so get it done Eagles 🤞 Think we really need a sugar hit for fans and players. For that reason I don’t think we will target future picks. Ryan for McVee (saints F2 to melb) Chesser for a pick upgrade. Blues needs points and likely...

    That would be giving a priority pick to Lions, not us. They would get nothing for him through free agency.

    Lions would get nothing for him through free agency anyway. if they don’t want what we have to offer, then we should walk him to the psd. We need to at least call their bluff and be prepared to use the threat of the psd.

    Maybe coz footy isn’t just about highlights and someone needs to do the dirty work. He finds the ball, has good hands in tight, good first couple of steps, good over his head, kicked a goal a game in champs and league. Tackles, blocks for teammates, knock ons to advantage, leadership on and off...

    Since it’s a real possibility that we may take CDT. Does he have that match winning ability? To do something mecurial and change the game. Take a speccy or kick a flukey goal. Or is he just a good all round footballer that works hard and is pretty aggressive around the ball? Any player comparisons?

    I'm similar. My Dad and the rest of my family, including extended family are all Dockers supporters and members. My Nan is 99 and has never seen them win (she hates the Eagles tho lol). But, for their sake I hope they win.

    Thanks I know he's had a lot of comparisons, but he moves and plays a bit like Dunkley. Team first, good tackler, blocking for team mates, knock ons to advantage. All the unsexy stuff. While still having good hands in tight and being able to find the ball himself. Exactly the type of player...

    I say the same thing every year but I don’t want to split. Don’t see the need. We have limited list spots. Pick 1&2 gets us the best two players in the draft and the hawks pick is still in a pretty good spot to see how the draft falls and pick up a slider. One of Farrow, Grjl, Cumming...

    Sharp is a lot better than Hall. I’m not sure Hall will make it. Maybe as depth but he’s not really elite at anything. Libba would be pretty handy. Don’t see how that’s a bad thing. Plus Sharp is pretty good above his head which I don’t think Libba has in his game. He’s also been compared to...

    Don't want to say too much but I know Hunter was into drugs before the AFL as well. He was a year older than me but was well known around Bunbury. Unsure if it continued through his playing days but I wouldn't be surprised.

    What sends the wrong message Hird? If the wrong message is that all teams have to do is go through 4 seasons of hell and win sfa games just to get a free agent concession, then go ahead. It's hardly going to move the needle much for us and doesn't affect any other teams. I don't think any...

    Don’t really want to lose Ryan but if he does want to chase the extra years at the Saints, then we should be offering to pay a chunk of his salary to improve the deal. Saints may need the cap space now. Decent player or a late first. Otherwise I don’t see us getting anything worth losing him for.
