This is probably old news to many of you BF luminaries, but thought it worth a post -
(a collection of recent media insights to the WCE Trade season (or lack of Trade) and upcoming Draft period)

"It emerged during the trade period that West Coast list officials were strategically targeting five picks inside the top 50 at next month's draft and the club has accomplished its goal.
The Eagles managed to keep hold of its prized first selection and now have picks at 13, 21, 26, 32 and 37 - all inside the first two rounds.
It is understood the club is eyeing off a host of West Australian young guns in the 2017 intake."

Schloithe looms as a potential mature-age draftee.. Tim Kelly, 22, has also been linked with a draft call-up to West Coast...Their prolific ball-winning and mature, hardened bodies are believed to appeal to Eagles recruiting strategies... Subiaco small forward Liam Ryan, a speedy and high-flying goal opportunist is firmly in Eagles recruiting sights. Initial plans on how to further develop Ryan's obvious talents and implement defensive facets into his play around goal in tandem with established Eagles scoring force Josh Kennedy as well as further evolution for already listed small forward Willie Rioli, is understood to be already be in motion.

West Coast looks certain to insist on bigger midfield and on-ball duties for rising team leaders Elliot Yeo, Liam Duggan, Jack Redden and Dom Sheed on the inside and outside receivers Andrew Gaff and Lewis Jetta. West coast could run with up to a maximum of eight rookies as recent draftees Dan Venables, Jake Waterman, Kurt Mutimer, Luke Partington, Josh Rotham, Tom Cole, Tom Lamb and Willie Rioli all emerge.

West Coast's trading strategy has enabled the club to clear crucial salary cap room to launch multi-million dollar contract talks with rising superstars Elliot Yeo and Jeremy McGovern who the club judged as its best two players this season.

West Coast is also gambling heavily on a high premiership finish next year with its approach to the draft.
In trading next year's first round selection, in a swap of draft picks with Gold Coast just hours ahead of the closing deadline in Melbourne, Eagles football managers are playing roulette with next year's choice in what experts tip to be one of the best drafts in AFL history.
If West Coast accomplish an ambitious top four to sixth-place finish with their distinctive youth selection and development policy, that 2018 draft pick will be late into the selection process.
However a tumble out of finals contentions and a low-down-the-ladder finish will see the strategy backfire with the club surrendering a crucial top-10 pick.

It'd be a like for like (spud for spud) replacement, I'd rather actually play some of the youth we're going to draft.

Fair call.

Good summary.

Waterman is a tad difficult to define though, isnt he 194cm so taller than both Darling and Allen? I would class him as a modern kp forward.

Stop Cal. You're drunk.

Yeah I don't disagree with that. It will be great to watch him play next year and get a better idea of what role is best suited to.

Liam Ryan at 37 would be typical of west coast

No waterman is shorter than Allen and same height as darling.

 

[Obeanie1]

No waterman is shorter than Allen and same height as darling.

I am sure the heights listed are doctored Waterman was drafted at 191cm and twelve months later he has now shrunk to 190cm per the Eagles site.

Allen listed at 193cm. But ok Allen is slightly taller.

Sure a bit of 'ducks and drakes' are played out with player stats.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Piss off already Twomey, it's not happening.

[Suma Magic]

As much as i think we need 2-3 talls in the ND/RD, I'd be really unhappy if we took one with 13.

 

[archiemoses]

Looking at our previous draft selections we've frequently drafted players who have slid a little bit.

Having our selections are great but can't help feel we will reach for selections we could have got later.

Yeah but how tall is McGovern?

 

[Falco]

Does anyone know if Oscar Allen has grown? He's been reported at 191cm but the WAFL site has him at 193cm. I can't get his combine height results anywhere.

 

[WCEswift]

Oscar allen did play midfield in the under 18s as part of the roatation

 

[wadistance]

If Bonar makes it past 15 first pick I’ll eat my shoe

Haven't had a good one since the early 2000s when Cuz & Huntaaaaaaa rocked some gross versions.



So I guess it's:
Butler -> Ah Chee
Priddis -> 13
Mitchell -> 21
Giles -> 26
Petrie -> 32
Hill/Lamb/Wellingham -> 37

39/5/2 moving to 40/4/1.
With Watson moving to 'A' rookie list, does that mean one of Gorter/Snadden has to go as well?

Did Cavka retire last pre-season? If so, his spot will be free too.

Didn’t Cavka retire a few years ago??

 

[Seadog]

I'd be surprised if that happened. Apparently not only did Ryan miss training sessions with Subi but missed training for the state team.
Rookie at best and even then it's probably a wasted pick.

 

[mattyc75]

Just a few names around the mark
13-Clark,constable and Higgins
21-Fogarty,bonar and obrien
26-Kelly,worpel and bonar
32-starcevich,spargo and kreuger
37-Ryan,Hayden,Sam Taylor and Ben miller
I think there's a good mix there and I do think we need a kpf in a hurry

Thought it was this January???

 

[archiemoses]

Draft bio's on worpel look good. Is it just his kicking that's holding him back?
