Provisional 2025 Draft order

[wadistance]

Lindsay been sub majority of games recently as he tired out. Id say he is proof we need a winger as opposed to the opposite

Problem with the wing is it feels like we dont eve have 1 at all. It isnt a case of drafting Lindsay and thats ok. 2 wings exist and we have zero wingers to start with. Id like Bo Allan on 1 wing next season but then who plays the other? Id rather just fill it with anything but Jack Hutchinson at this point and in doing so get a actual winger in at the same time

Honestly I’d just play Chesser there for the next handful of games … if it works it works. If it doesn’t, he can look for opportunities back in Victoria.

Harley Reid’s contract demand revealed as rumours swirl​

Harley Reid’s future remains one of the biggest talking points in the AFL with fresh details coming to light behind his next contract

It won't

 

[beatlesmith]

I see the following positions as being filled:

B: Hough, Edwards, Ginbey
HB: Baker, ??? , McCarthy
C: Dewar, Reid, ???
HF: Brockman, Shanahan, Ryan
F: ???, Waterman, ???
R: ???, Hewett, ???

The following guys I think will make it as best 22 players, but it’s unclear what position they’ll play: Allan, Maric, A.Reid

The following guys I think could make it, but could also be overtaken by superior talents: Hall, Hutchinson, Gross, Brock, JWilliams

 

[wadistance]

It won't

Sure, but at least it’s been explored. McQualter doesn’t do Gimp wing

I think Ryan is nearing the end - hopefully a few more but not sure. DEwar still a probable only and Brockman has his moments (poor) but looks on track. We need more good players to run through the middle.
I like Waterman as the third tall gibven his height.

Just Gimp team hey?

 

[ziad]

20 million haha .

Amazing , Eagles will be looking at this in every possible scenario , front ended contract hopefully.

If thats 10 years its ok. $2m a year will be $1m in todays Money after 10, and the cap will have doubled. There is a deal to be done.

Show me on the doll where they hurt you

So after the 500 posts of melting and how shit our team is today, who are we targeting in the trade period.
I think most would agree we are a 23-27yo B grade mid short who can do the heaving lifting for a few years while we develop our draftees.
I have us trading in D Cameron, J McVee, J Busslinger.
I feel we need another mid in the age and experience bracket to apply some sort of breakeven around the midfield.
Fire away

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Keep in mind Grego looked really good in the midfield early in the season and we've turned him into an average HBF already.

Matt Crouch would be handy, he's ooc iirc

He'll be 31 early next season with a lot of injuries of late. Strong pass.

 

[WCE777]

thought there was a strong offer in front of McVee from WC?

 

[RanaNaved]

31 is the new 28

 

[WCE777]

31 is the new 28

I tend to agree, too old.
We need someone for 3 years minimum imo.

 

[rebel23]

The West's take from Mini's presser.

McQualter says Eagles are fighting for their careers

West Coast coach Andrew McQualter says several Eagles have five weeks to fight for their careers in the wake of their disappointing 49-point loss to fellow battlers Richmond.

thewest.com.au

How the f... Are they playing for their careers when you've given them all long contracts

 

[WCErevival]

31 is the new 28

At WCE, 28 is the new 31

 

[Schtinker]

Duggan wouldnt get anything that would make it worth losing him.
A 2nd rounder maybe, better off keeping him

I'd take a packet of Crisps and a train ticket on the Midland line.

 

[Schtinker]

Duggan needs to get the hell out of defence.

Coughs up min 2-3 goals a week directly.

Just get him in the middle smashing heads or off but not defensive side of 50

Hough defence
Duggan mid
Hutch fwd
Kelly wafl

Duggan isn't a midfielder and nor is Baker and Graham. None of them are Captain material.

 

[footy_basis]

Honestly I’d just play Chesser there for the next handful of games … if it works it works. If it doesn’t, he can look for opportunities back in Victoria.

Chesser is just a bust. Never should have been drafted.

Just give it to Reid. He's the only leader out there.

Cameron sure. I would prefer a 23 yo Moyle..
Mcvee. Yes
Buss. I doubt dogs let him go.but have a crack.
Davies. Maybe
Dev. Cost nothing. Is the fall guy for Harley in the middle. You never know!

And if we havent thrown the cheque book at someone unexpected like the saints are doing ide be disappointed.
