Jeremy Sharp at Gold Coast too. Probably the best place he could have gone if we hope to get him back in a few years.

I would have drafted him on that one highlight. This young man could be somethign specialEagles have put up a highlight of Treacy on Facebook. Impressive! You can't teach that.
O'niell what a steal
He must have interviewed badly or something. We didn’t even take him with our first rookie pickB2B U18 AA honours.
A tad injured post carnival.
Not a bad pickup with our 2nd rookie pick.
Draft recap pod tonight - any questions for the draft gurus (or me if you want a useless answer), let me know.
Melbourne have done the reverse vic go home factor and pair drafted mates rivers and jackson .Rivers and Melbourne..........well it is Melbourne and the kid is a dead set Eagles groupie.
Are we able to cat B our undrafted Next Gen academy kids ?Couple of questions whilst you’re here
Is there any truth to the report we’re considering Pickett as a SSP and is there any Cat B prospects to add to our list?
How is it that one TV show can create so many memesVozzo has done very well considering the fairly garbage picks we had this year.
This was him last night...
I was wondering about this. Recruiters were confused about wether they would need to use 2 list spots for the double header2 heads

But if one of our best 6-7 mids goes down over the next 2-3 years, who've we got to come in? Ainsworth/Brayshaw/Ah Chee/O'Neill maybe in a year or so. That's pretty poor depth I think.
And in 2-3 yrs time when Redden and Hutchings especially, and Shuey maybe, are gone or on the wane big time, who do we replace with as a best 22 mid. None of Ainsworth/Ah Chee/Brayshaw would you want as best 22. O'Neill an unknown, but he's got a very long way to go.
Yet in the backline, outside our best 7 (Gov Barrass Shep Hurn Jetta Duggan and say Schoey) we've still got Cole, Watson and Nelson - who have all shown they're adept, plus Rotham who deserves a run at it, plus Allen and Brander who both are capable of being swung back (and Brander may need to go back to get a chance to cut it at AFL), plus even Edwards who people are talking up.
So why draft another HBF!?!?
I've had it up to here with these recruiters/list managers, after drafting flankers for years hoping they'd be mids, then foregoing the opportunity to take Kelly at a cheaper price only to pay a King's Ransom for him later.
He must have interviewed badly or something. We didn’t even take him with our first rookie pick
Um don't we also have drafts and trading opportunities in the next 2-3 years as well?
Our 1st pick was 47 mate, then 58. Do you think there would be a top line mid still on the shelf at 47? We went a top 4 project ruck. Smart move.
Pick 58 we went a fast / agile / skillful half back / winger. Monocle described him as one of the highest skilled players in the draft but will need time to bulk up and develop.
Last time I looked rucks and wingers / half backs are all pretty much midfielders.
Plus we added Kelly, an undisputed blue chip midfielder.
And landed a steal in O'Neill 2.0 who is a back to back U18 All Australian pure mid ranked between 30 - 50 but slid to our 2nd rookie pick.
We then re rookied a pure inside mid in Brayshaw and a HFF / mid in Ah chee.
Developing we have Ainsworth, O'Neill 1.0 and Foley. Petro is another HFF / winger.
So in reality we have added to the quality of our depth and added reasonable quality and quantity to our developing mid cohort.
Who would have you picked BTW?

I remember the commentators were to Tracy as Mcavaney was to Cyril .If you watched Treacy in the semi-final against the Beagles he was electric against some pretty good defenders. Plus at 22 he is a fairly mature body. Averaging over a goal a game at WAFL level is pretty good in your first year at that level.
7 catchup may have the semi final against the BeaglesIs there any footage of Treacy?
I ask this question with genuine curiosity:
What is it with our club and half back flankers?
We LOVE halfback flankers, there wouldn't be a single draft that goes by where we haven't either seriously looked at one, or more typically, recruited one.
Need a midfielder? Half back flanker
Need a half forward? half back flanker
Need someone on the wing? Half back flanker
Need a ruckman? Half back flanker
Ok so the last one was taking the piss, but you see where I am going with this. We have a damn near obsession with half back flankers. And if we aren't playing them in the backline, we try and mould them to other positions
I laugh every year because it just isn't an eagles draft without a lot of work put into at least one half back flanker
