[Proeagle]

I've got bad news, man...

hahaha, yeah I know. But I have optimism we can change. Paying overs for Starcevich will continue our mistakes.

 

[Lia]

Today could save us from ourselves. What a shame too because Starcevich is a very good player.

 

[King LeBron]

He may be forced to retire after this game anyway - we may have dodged a bullet

 

[Proeagle]

Starcevich getting subbed out again for concussion, might be the best thing for us. Is it too late to amend our offer to him?

 

[Patterz123]

Feel for Starcevich, was playing a great lock down role on Danger when he was forward.

Even when we aren't playing, we lose. Seriously cursed season for the Eagles.

 

[FatPizza]

Starcevich getting subbed out again for concussion, might be the best thing for us. Is it too late to amend our offer to him?

He can't officially sign until the window opens anyway. So there'd be no actual contract in from of him.

 

[groga]

Yeah, that’s a shame as he has absolutely blanketed Danger.

 

[Dark Sharks]

"He doesn't have concussion issues, that's a myth....."

 

[Proeagle]

It sux. Like McGov, I highly rate him but we would be idiots to take that risk. At least for a decent pick/wage. Watch us give him 4 yrs plus at a high wage though.

 

[archiemoses]

We will still offer 900k and 6 years to starcevic

 

[Barrybran]

We still have to pay someone. I don't think the Starcevich deal will be off. It would be nice if we a little harder on Lachie Neale

though. How good would he be for Harley, Elijah, pick 1 and pick 2.

 

[BG__]

Wonder if a flag has any impact on Neale potentially deciding to request a trade, similar to the Warner rumours last year

 

[Proeagle]

Brisbane will be happy to offload him. We need to play hardball with what we offer.

 

[kranky al]

Yup

There’s no way we can take him now.

 

[Barrybran]

Both contract and trade. Pay the dollars but not the years.

 

[Proeagle]

Both contract and trade. Pay the dollars but not the years.

2nd rounder or worse. And a 2 yr contract max. It may not be enough to get him though but I dont care. Brissy may be excited by that offer though.

And I thought this before he was once again subbed out with concussion
Sad though. Was hoping we would draft him at a lower cost and he might get through a few valuable years for us.

 

[Proeagle]

If we still offer him 5yrs plus and spend a decent pick on him, we are completely incompetent and the selectors need to be sacked.

 

[GWeagles]

Maybe we don’t take him and we use the cash to keep Oscar

 

[Smotie2]

Think we need to shelves the starcevich experiment now

 

[eaglevision]

Horrible for Starcevich, really feel for him. Eagles have to pull the deal pending concussion panel assessment but on precedent there’s no way it gets done before trade period.

Brisbane have to do the same unless they want to offer him a one year deal which would be entirely removed from the cap if he was medically retired.

Hope he’s ok.

 

[Proeagle]

Think we need to shelves the starcevich experiment now

Might as well give McGov 2yrs plus

 

[BG__]

Lessons from today

-Big yes to Walter and Neale
-Would take Ah Chee for the right price
-Avoid Starc unless it’s for peanuts on a short deal

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Just on Lachie Neale, and the unlikely scenario that he is contemplating a move to us.

I see a lot of posters suggesting that a Lions win today makes it more likely that he packs up and heads west...Would this actually be the case though? If they win, you'd think he'd be confident in loading up again next year and trying for the three-peat. If they lose, well you've got the prospect of climbing that mountain to the top all over again.

No idea what he'd be thinking, but if it were me and a three-peat was on the cards I'd be sticking around to try and be a part of that. If I lost, I'd be more likely to leave and start anew. Just my take.

Maybe Starcevich could be thinking the same thing after this...
Don't think he's an absolute need, and especially not at almost a million a year.

 

[TOA.]

I was pessimistic about Starcveich when he was subbed but he seems fine on the bench. They may have just been really precautionary given his history but in any event, its something we have to deal with if we take him. I'll still take him as we are desperate af but on an games/played incentive type deal.

He had 2 to 3 months off during the year and they questioned whether he would ever play again. Now another concussion from a nothing knock. I would pay him per game and nothing else, if we traded for him.
