GWS have just handed GC the cup in four years time.

Shocking from gws would think GC would be the one club they wouldn't help....

 

[Masto]

It really sucks watching elite WA talent head east year after year. I bet it will happen next year too with Jack Martin.

 

[Daniel_Rich]

What do you guys think of this 3 way trade? Just a musing of mine to pass the time. At all close to fair?

West Coast:
Gain - Clark, 30
Lose - Swift, Lycett

Brisbane:
Gain - Tippett, Swift, 24
Lose - Clark, 8, 30

Adelaide:
Gain - Lycett, 8
Lose - Tippett, 24

 

[Sammy J]

This is absolute crap. I could handle him being dealt anywhere but to one of the 2 expansion clubs.Atleast then it would've been fair.

 

[pantskyle]

Meh just get them when they want to come home.

Lycett isn't being traded.

Name one 'elite' WA talent that came back to play for the Eagles? I can't think of one. Daniel Chick is probably the best we have got and he was hardly a star.

Haha. What do you expect? There's only two teams in WA ffs.

Maybe that needs to change. It just feels like we are getting a raw deal.

Well, we're due. One of our guns will want to come home. Hopefully.

Sydney is showing interest in young West Coast midfielder Koby Stevens, after the Victorian prospect grows increasingly pessimistic about his chances in the west.

Stevens played just two games for the resurgent Eagles in 2011, struggling to breaking into an engine room including Matt Priddis, Daniel Kerr and Luke Shuey.

Although Stevens still has time left on his current contract, the Swans and John Longmire are understood to have made enquiries of the Eagles as to 20-year-old’s availability.

And the hard-bodied product of Gippsland may be swayed.

Exactly.

Especially these kids from GWS and GC. Keep hovering around building a good culture and when the salary cap starts to squeeze this is when we jump on the Materas and co.

Why do people quote Sportsnewsfirst, aren't they always wrong?

Not singling you out Jimmy .

 

[Masto]

Tim Clarke is reporting Koby could be heading to Sydney.

 

[neng]

It's Sports News First mate, don't trust it too much

No dramas; I'm just reporting, people can give SNF stories any weight they desire

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Jetta for stevens?

 

[groga]

Jetta for stevens?

Plus your first rounder?

 

[Riders of Rohan]

Already gone I'm afraid

 

[Riders of Rohan]

In all seriousness if we picked him up I'd lose my shit. Half our list is already made up of inside midfielders.

 

[groga]

Already gone I'm afraid

For who?

 

[QS]

Problem with a lot of the kids these days is they want to be a walk up start into a side and not spend time developing even further. When they don't get time in the side first/second year they start to think they might be better off elsewhere.

Want the earth now. Only a few young blokes are capable of this..

 

[.Shotties.]

For who?

Not Sydney. We burn first round picks for fun come draft day.

 

[RUNVS]

For who?

Tom Mitchell as a F/S pick.

Then we are due.
