Ely Smith looks like he's had an AFL career already.

 

[Cameron_K]

Well looks like WC have Hill on a platter now.

 

[freo_leo29]

Hill or Valente to WCE tomorrow first thing

 

[CapitalA]

Will wce pass on hill having rioli and ryan? probably not.......

 

[Dirty_banchez]

100 years ago they wouldn't let imbeciles like Rosich milk a cow, so how they shit is he in control of our club?

 

[Lach72]

Wild lol if we got Hill anyway

I would actually be surprised if they take Hill (well #surprisednotsurprised). They don't need him with Ryan and Rioli roaming their forward line, but they might like to make sure they keep him out of our hands for future trades back to WA in case Ryan does a Josh Simpson or an Ashley Sampi (or even a Harley Balic) at some point. Who else that's left on the board is in an area of need for them?

 

[Mr Fonebone]

So whats the reason that Hill has slid?

Size?
Injury Concerns?
Go Home factor?

I reckon its the last. Wont affect Eagles though.

We can’t trade our 2019 first.

Can't see Hill going pass Melbourne and maybe the Swans.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I really hope we get 1 or 2 quick small forwards now. 2 small forwards, and 1 inside mid would be my dream.

 

[stormee]

Glad everyone's prepared to give our new recruit a chance... I know you all love the fairytale, but let's just see how Sturt goes before we melt.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

not sure why west coast would be into hill? Surely a bit similar to Rioli and Ryan? Perhaps a lecras replacement, but I wouldn't have thought its the most pressing need for them. Would expect a valente type

 

[serial_thrilla]

Eagles will get Valente or McLennan, then get Foley with 29.

 

[Rion]

Do hope we go after some smaller forward from now on though. Ballas/Matera aren't particularly inspiring.

We got one and one who can kick goals

I’m pleased with Sturt.

Probably all three. But I think his size is #1. He is tiny. I wouldn't be surprised if he is still there at our second pick. I just hope WC don't take him, and hopefully they don't with Rioli, Ryan and Cameron.

Went to script. Local prodigy makes it to our pick and we take a Victorian flanker instead. Gold.

Disappointed in the melts. I expect more from this board. I know Sturt isn't a half back flanker but close enough.

I like the sound of Sturt. I think Daniel Menzel is the closest comparison from the footage I have seen.

 

[its free real estate]

This stupid thing goes for two days?!

Its not everyone, its mostly just one clown on repeat.

 

[malpaso]

Really like the Sturt pick. We would have reached for Hill at our first round pick and other teams agreed.

Certainly seems to be the case.

I'd be putting out the feelers to see if someone will take our 2019 2nd for Hill (ie next pick). Hill and Sturt adds a whole lot of pace, pressure and skill to our forward line.
