Does anyone know how sharpe tested?

I assume he didn't do well in the sprints and didn't go top 10 in the 2km .

Yep, didn't place anywhere in any of the testing actually.

 

[juice568]

FWIW there is no stress coming from the Eagles camp. Things may not be moving as quick as we the fans want but it's all positive vibes coming out.

Dp you have an inside source?

 

[TheBudgies]

Likely off to Tassie but if he is prepared to sign an extension would be a great fit for us. I believe his girlfriend is a Perth girl who just got drafted to Melbourne in last years draft.

Hire him for a year then ship him off for some of those Tassie "must trade" picks? Or mini draft picks?

 

[briztoon]

It's one pick difference.

I know.

 

[bzparkes]

Dp you have an inside source?

Yep but it's a secret.

Here's a clue:

 

[briztoon]

And Brisbane don't want future picks because they need points .

Adelaide would do well to keep their first rounder . There will be some very good SA lads still on the table at their pick

I hope we’re chasing both. We need points for this year and next year.

 

[Lia]

We've traded pick 1 for Dev.

Should have done this in 2023

Yep Molly O'hehir. Comes from a great family. Brother plays for south freo.

 

[Obeanie1]

Don't be silly. Everybody wants to loss their shit and want Clarke sacked lol

No we don't.

Because if that happened it means we / they stuffed up big time.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

We've traded pick 1 for Dev.

Just pick 1 or have we thrown in a sweetener?

 

[Obeanie1]

Didn't test.

Crook I recall reading.

Brisbane are being a bunch of campaigners, but I think everything will (hopefully) work out and they’ll yield. They just know what we’re like based on last years trade period and they’re trying to squeeze what they can out of us.

Kudos to them for trying everything they can to maximise their value, if only we had a list management team like theirs instead of a bunch of nice guys willing to bend over all the time.

 

[Monocle]

Agreed, he’s way better than Reidy. Just thinking if we were ever going to try and poach a player in an underhanded way, he’s the type given he’d ultimately be cheap, and we could guarantee him footy while the club who has stuffed him around is bringing in more competition for his spot.

Reality is we need to address our rucks with some sort of cheap stop gap at least, and there are very few on offer.

We put the feelers out and the reply was that if he left Fremantle it was to head home to Victoria.

Game set and match.

? I doubt they are getting Curnow. Quick flight to NSW by Oscar next few days solves this pretty quick. Probably/ hopefully still get pick 2 compensation if they are interested.
We walk Starcivich to pre season draft.
Package saved pick with our others and work up draft.
Bid on Annables at pick two.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I could see the Saints leaving Ryan in the lurch, especially if Steele decides to stay at the club. Seems like trading for Ryan is their lowest-priority move so it wouldn’t surprise me if they either don’t have the cap space to take him on, or have traded away so much of their draft capital that their offer to the Eagles is woefully subpar.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Need to double check which board we’re on.

eh who are we kidding.

We'll be lucky if Clarke doesn't also walk away with keys to a used car by the time Brisbane are done with it.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Sam Grlj and Lachy Dovaston are perfect for us, probably fall in between our picks though.

Not sure I want Grlj if we have Duursma. Both have great outside games but I really think we need to target balanced and inside mids. Someone needs to get clean ball out to them. I would prioritise Cumming and Sharp ahead of them.

If we keep 17, I would be OK with Dalton. His wrist injury stuffed up his draft year but he came home strong.

I do like Dovaston. Watching him at Shark Park in the carnival and early he tore our backline a new one. Yes we have some NGA small forwards on our list and coming on our list but he is more the Watson/Weightman angry small forward.

 

[briztoon]

Fine mate we'll offer you pick 22 then, happy?

I’m just interested in where the trade lands.

As far as I’m concerned, the Allen offer and Starcevich trade should have been done by now.

I’m not trying to defend how my club is playing this out. More trying to offer some views from the Lions side. Most here believe the Lions are being d!cks with how this is playing out, but a minority here are sort of on the same page as me.

 

[WCEswift]

Does anyone know how sharpe tested?

didnt test as far as i know

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

didnt test as far as i know

Hip injury for Sharp keeping him from testing

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Okay, so we make Brisbane delist Dev first, then we'll hand over the PP.
On draft night we'll bid on Annable with pick 1.
Done deal.

Megachad Clarke chilling in the sun with a cocktail and Hawaiian shirt screening calls from Brisbane while everyone loses their minds

 

[WCE777]

We should have gone hard for ladhams .

Only 27 which is prime for a ruck

204cm big boy so genuine sized ruck stuck behind Grundy but shown he can be very good when number 1 ruck . He also hits the scoreboard and is a very team oriented player although a bit eccentric .

It could have been a reverse hickey who flourished when given number 1 duties

This I would have thought was a question that would have been asked.
Took several weeks to re-sign at SYD and Pyke would have very good intel on Ladhams.

 

[briztoon]

Find it hard to believe we'd be arguing over 1 pick difference, especially when the pick will be gobbled up by a bid anyway

I outlined my thoughts on this in a post last night on our board. I’ve spent all morning here as I’m avoiding the 30 notifications I got on that post on our board.
As I’ve mentioned multiple times here, I try and take an impartial view towards the trade period and discussing teams, and that doesn’t always go down well on our board either.
