Aaron young anyone?
Kicked 40 goals and layed a gazillion tackles last year.
Plays small forward and goes through the midfield.

The latest is former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd, who believes Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke is a better player despite receiving just a a fraction of the pay and publicity.
“To see Clarke take his seven grabs last weekend and the way he gets around the ground, I don’t think he lacks anything that Naitanui has,’’ Lloyd said.
“For all the talk that goes with Naitanui, I think this guy (Clarke) is probably a better player at the moment and has huge growth in him.
“I can see Zac Clarke being the best ruckman in the competition in the coming years, whereas I couldn’t say that for Naitanui at the moment.

Lamb maybe even Karpany
Decent depth but with our list - not an area of need.

Did anyone catch what they (Trade Radio) said about West Coast just now?
Someone on our radar, missed the name.

If they talking free agents it would be Taylor Duryea IMO ( guess ) .
Coach would know Taylor well , not a bad idea I suppose .

Agreed. we like to sit on our hands in the trade period.... send our first picks for people like Wellingham
Miguel Sanchez

Barrass no, dislocated a finger late in his draft year but played the whole national carnival. His first pre-season was affected by a hip injury which wasn't known about when he was drafted: http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/2014-04-25/player-in-focus
McInnes yes.
Maginness no
Lamb no, underage year was injury affected but not his draft year: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-15/meet-tom-lamb
Karpany no, played a full year for WWT across various levels including being BOG in the colts grand final, on top of his State duties.

Because they both chose to go to Freo ergo did not want to play for WC.

Which is it, do we sit on our hands or trade our first rounders?

Both aren't heaps better than our current options and we'd have to give up overs to lure them. If they nominate Freo so be it, but I'd rather we don't do a Shane Kersten or Joel Hamling - not all homesick players should come and play for us.

Gibson seems to me to be more of a slow outside midfielder with poor kicking skills.
Dark Sharks
Premium Kent
Sam Gibson? Aaron Young? Jake Spencer?
These acquisitions get better by the minute, chuck a pineapple on us for the flag in 2018.

Discarded mature aged Nth Melb mid....wonder where he'll end up!!
It's quite funny that during the season our own players are spuds and no good and get smashed on here by our supporters.
Trade week comes around and no player is as good as what we have, everyone discussed no matter where they are from is a spud and we are a team of superstars under performing. Very funny stuff this time of the year.
