News brad ebert quits west coast

[superman_kon]

Brad Ebert has told WCE that he wants to return to SA. Personally disappointed due to the amount of time we invested into him. On the bright side other players will get playing time ahead of him. what does everyone think/hope we get for him, pick 6?!?

We won't get pick 6.

 

[Marlin01]

I see Houlihan and JON have been let go also.

I'm not totally disappointed to see Ebert go. I can see him becoming a very good player, but not a great player.

 

[Masten_bator]

Eagles have also moved on JON and Houlihan

 

[Chris_6678]

Ah well pretty suprised actually. Just means we can replace him with Hams or even try out Wheedon in his postion. Only really played 3-4 good games this year the rest were very average.

 

[ARRunner]

He always felt if Ebert got his game together he could be pretty decent, oppertunities ran out this in the midfield and then fwd line, the option of going home and making your mark in a rebuilding adelaide team would look pretty nice at that stage.

Who could we get for Ebert, any players, what number pick?

 

[shoe]

Shame. Thought he really matured a heap this season and was really starting to show tangible improvement.

 

[Quinz]

Damn. Really disappointed.

Only Cyril and Harry Taylor have played more games than Ebert from that draft.

 

[Forget the Stats]

The writing was on the wall from last week. Let's hope we get something decent for him. This well stir up the Ebert thread on the draft board. Pick around twenty or player/pick upgrade seems about the mark I think.

Not a chance in hell of getting pick 6.

 

[PhoenixPower]

Port will likely offer one of surjan salter pettigrew plus pick 28 and the eagles will ask for pick 6

Should be an interesting game during trade week

 

[jknothimjustafan]

Hopefully he doesn't mind if its Adelaide or Port and that they both want him. If he picks one or the other or only one of them is interested we are going to be SCREWED!

On the bright side though, Hams/Strijk should get some games now.

 

[sTeeL]

Extremely disappointed. Surprised he left after the oppurtunities he was given and his minimal impact.

Following this gives Stevens a boost for next season. I would imagine he will slot straight into the team now.

 

[superman_kon]

pick 6 was said in jest, but besides the obvious choices of surjan, motlop(shudders) i personally think gray

 

[Mattman93]

Holy ****. Really, really didn't see this coming.

From all reports he was very highly regarded by the club, as evidenced by the faith we showed in him selection-wise, and in he was really enjoying being here.

Where has this come from?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Would be great if this is how we land a Scott Thompson

 

[Byron_Clanger]

The SA teams can have him, playing over 70 games at the age of 21 and still kicks plenty of floaters, just hope we can get something back for him

 

[Keys]

Hard to imagine we'll get anything decent from Port given they have second pick in the PSD and Gold Coast probably have no interest. Might be able to get something better from Adelaide if they're keen and Ebert wants to go there.

Is there anyone on Port's list that we would be interested in, no one comes to mind tbh.

 

[chook94]

Not sure why he'd leave a top 4 side to return to SA in our current football crisis...

Homesickness?

The fish tweeted his preferred choice is PAFC

 

[Portmanteau]

Like to see players stick around with the team that drafted them. Hopefully we can compensate you fairly.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Well, if they want him and he wants to go to one of the Adelaide clubs, we've at least got some leverage with the GCS and GWS holding the first two pre-season draft picks. Should be able to command a bit more than usual.

He's been home sick for the last 2 years.

And if you guys think your getting either of Pick 6, Robbie Gray or Scott Thompson from the Crows, you are clearly smoking some serious stuff!

A package of Daniel Motlop/Michael Pettigrew and Pick 28 should well and truly be enough.

 

[Quinz]

I like Hartlett, Gray, Butcher, Trengrove, Banner, Pittard.. but we won't get any of those.

We could always take Davenport so he doesn't tear us up every year?

Holy ****. Really, really didn't see this coming.

From all reports he was very highly regarded by the club, as evidenced by the faith we showed in him selection-wise, and in he was really enjoying being here.

Where has this come from?

Pretty much this. Didn't want to lose Ebo either after the 70 odd games we've put into him, and I don't think we'll get a lot for him. Really disappointed.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Why the hell would we want Daniel Motlop? Quit throwing up names of players that you guys don't want.

 

[PAFC_1870]

LMAO, Gray for Ebert?

You gonna throw in a first rounder and a gun kid?

Seriously, just LOL.

Will be a fair trade, will be around pick 18-30 IMHO.
