It’s from the West, that’s a damn shame. Would have been nice.
Coincidence it comes out a day after hypotheticals were put up in this thread discussing dream scenarios?

These guys just get paid to publish BigFooty style content that is completely unrealistic (although fun to discuss here).

Most of those details came directly from comments in here.
 
It's actually pretty amazing someone can write an article about the Eagles 'EXPRESSING INTEREST' in wanting to sign a bloke. Good God...the person must be listening to Sausage Gossage during the week cos he floated we should have a go at getting Cripps since he isn't gonna get anywhere with Carlton and wants to come home once his career is done so they might as well make a play for him now.

It's so left field i can't get my head around it tbh

It's got Sam Mitchell in 2016 about it. A Genuine head scratcher move that's so left field it might be genius.

As someone who was in here just 48 hours ago talking about how we are far too pedestrian with our trade/free agency strategy I'd love to believe this is true.

Even just exploring such a move means we're trying to get creative.

Looking forward to seeing the piece in the Worst tomorrow detailing how West Coast are trading Jack Williams for Darcy Cameron.

Agree with this

Should at least silence the "we're not aggressive enough" crowd at the very least

It won't, but it should

We'll send Phil's Dad out to recruit Bontempelli and all he'll come back with is Jason Johannisen or something

And we lose pick 2 or 3 from Oscar

Bizarre, but yet I'm here for it

Bont, Chad and Harley

That's the thing, the article says that our landing Bont as a free agent would affect our compo pick for Oscar.

So, instead of Bont costing us nothing draft-wise, it would end up costing us quite a bit, because instead of getting something like pick 2 for Oscar, our compo would be significantly less.
 
This is my nightmare scenario.

I'd take 5-6 guys in an open draft before Sharp. Warner for a single pick would be fine, and there's no way we are getting Aller. There are clubs well in front of us for his services.
Who do you think is firming for #1? Or who would you prefer over Sharp?

We could just trade for him
 
Have you tried just not watching them?
I don't really watch them, just the clips in Twitter. And i don't like that witch Caro at all. That said, if you are a fan of AFL and want to hear what is hapenning across the broad AFL landscape where else would you go? The local media are useless. Too focussed on trivial local news.
 
He's 30 this year.

No bloody thanks if it's for anything other than dalary. If that means we'd miss out on the Oscar compensation pick, then no thank you 🚫

31yr old in the twilight of his career with nothing to play for who suddenly has to travel more than any other team each fortnight. Can really see his performance going downhill fast.

Would rather keep pick 2 in the hope we've got a 10yr player at the club, not a gun for 2 seasons whilst we drown on the bottom of the ladder.

I used to watch everything but it was just pissing me off so i stopped cold turkey on them all a few years back

I see the twitter clips too but I make a point of not watching the shows, it's just angers me and it's frankly pretty toxic. 90% is just stories about some other journo who said something about someone on one of the other shows. It's all crap

I'm a big fantasy guy so get all my info from fantasy pods and pretty much from this board. Do like the Hard Ball Gets guys aswell

Repackage BigFooty chat, a tale as old as time.

Still, no harm praying to Santa Maria herself to get this one over the line.
 
Why would an Eagles insider release this? (If they did)

If true and unlikely as it is. It would suggest Warner is off or Harley is out.

Can’t pay
Bont $1.8m?
Warner $1.5m?
Harley $1.6m? Or can we….

Bont could have 6+ years in him
Would it only make Oscars band 1 go to band 2? How does that process work?

Could still bundle up very well to have a top 10 pick or 2? Due to Max King rising in some draft boards

Could still get Rodriguez and Curtin/Sharp

If Bont agrees to terms, Oscar leaves and Hawks finish below dogs we simply trade the hawks 1R for bont.

We could afford all 3, but it does suggest Chad isn't happening,
