Pretty bold predicting the oldest team ever to win the flag In 3 years.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

I get so lucky with these guesses

Please sir, may I have some more?

 

[WCE777]

Any trade that results in those kids being picked I’m all in on. Interesting comments by Pyke today that we’re looking at mids with the top picks.

That would be a massive draft to get those players drafted to WC.
Yes about mids, he realises it and that would give us 2 gun mids, a KPD of the highest order and Farrow who with his size, power and very good kicking is a very good HB that could transition to the midfield in time.
If we could make that happen you would just about use any means possible to make it so.
4 top 10 picks and all with outstanding attributes!!

 

[rebel23]

Based on what? A few good weeks?


Hell no.

Seems to have the highest ceiling from vision

Your post reads like it could be a Trumpy social media post.

Robey projects to be potentially elite. The issue is, we already have a better version of him in Reid and Hewett plays in a similar manner also.

Would be a very unbalanced group, unless his talent is too hard to ignore.

I'm not sure it is.

I dare say Robey looks to be better than Hewett... The way he moves in traffic

 

[Altum Volantes]

There is word around that the Eagles are pushing hard to confirm whether or not Starcevich has CTE before signing him - he is refusing the test for some reason!

The gap between 2030-2051 is a bit bloody shit

I thought CTE could only be confirmed post mortem?

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Reckon there has to be a way to get both GC’s pick and Carlton’s TDK compo given they likely lose it with a dean bid and need futures next year.

WCE Trade: hawks1st, eagles 2nd + (steak knives if needed)
Suns trade: pick 7

(Gives suns points required to match their academy bids)

WCE Trade: Liam Ryan + Pick 10
Saints trade: pick 8 + f2

(Essentially a f2 for Ryan is pretty good for the saints)

WCE trade: priority pick + Saints f2 + Chesser
Carl trade: pick 10

(Carlton still have points to cover a Dean bid and get some points towards Walker next year, depends if they can get a f1 for next year instead while still having enough points for dean)

Wce trade: Hawks 2nd + WCEf2 + no bid on Annable
Bris Trade Starcevich + 18
(18 gets eaten in an Annable bid regardless, the no bid covers the difference in points between 18 and hawks 2nd, meaning they get a f2 for Starce).

Eagles gain 7, 8, 18, Starcevich,

Lose 15, 19, 20, 34, f2, Ryan, Chesser

Can then look at trading 1 + 18 for 5 and 6 from the bombers.

Go to draft with 2, 5, 6, 7, 8,

Ahhh the stage of the season where semi plausible but way to complicated bucket of trades that will never happen. Love it

Sure but he's not remotely in the same ballpark as Reid, who plays in a very similar style.

I certainly wouldn't be upset if we ended up drafting him though.

CTE can only be tested posthumously - I'd be refusing that too

 

[bzparkes]

Well, no wonder he's refusing the test then...

 

[Bacchus]

Interesting signing/trade target.

They must have promised him a role at AFL level for him to nominate relocating to the other side of the country.

Got a feeling Bazzo is going to be playing a lot of WAFL this year.

Bazzo is more a 3rd tall than a kpd. Undersized for kpd.

 

[WCErevival]

I thought CTE could only be confirmed post mortem?

World reknowned sports scientist Dr Hannibal Lecture has successfully removed brain samples in living humans.

 

[Mop]

I deem this to be an unlikely source and rate it a 2/10, but I heard from a friend of a friend of Starcevich is considering packing it in. The last head knock has him worried.

I do not rate the source very highly, take with very large grains of salt.

He forgot to write 'Thank you for your attention to this matter.'

If your source isn't pantskyle, I want none of it.

Will be PO if freo get one as early as 2054.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I thought CTE could only be confirmed post mortem?

I am no expert and i could be wrong but maybe they can ask him for a brain scan to see if they can see any indication of bruising/inflamation from the weekends knock and try and extrapolate from there. It was a fairly minor knock and if it has caused a major inflammatory reaction in his brain tissue then that might indicate increased susceptibility to future concussions from minor knocks.

 

[eaglevision]

Correct.

I saw another one of these recently where Freo's first flag came around the same time, but Tassie won one a few years earlier, which I feel like would make some Dockers fans stroke out.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

A good way for the club to quiet the fans who say we're too nice when it comes to player negotiations and free agency is to force new signees to remove their brains for medical analysis before we present them with their contract.
