After typically being being spectators every trade period glad the club is starting to have an impact.
New destination club !

With 3 incoming players likely to get done, it will be interesting to see if we leave it there or continue to shop around.

I just stumbled on this article which floats a few players WCE could look at.
May not be as relevant considering Dev would play a similar role to some of the candidates but be interested to know if any of the DT posters have insight into the different players?

Five options for West Coast to target with newly added list spots

Have been assisted with four extra rookie list spots, here's who the Eagles could target to fill the vacancies.

[Mr Q]

As a side note, I hope Duggo is the next captain to step down

You reckon Steele stepped down? Yeah, Ross told him he could step down or be pushed.

 

[Hasselhough]

So with our end of first round pick we got, that is likely going to Bris. Is the Draper comp and SOS compo before or after that pick? Assume after.

Twomey said all band 2 compos are before the PP . Same with the norf PPs

 

[Barrybran]

Steele, Graham, the occasional Dev game to protect Harley, Hewett, and hopefully some draftees.

Looks a lot better very quickly in terms of distribution of workload away from Harley, physical protection of him, and a four on one tag of the kid actually hurting the opposition for a change because others can extract the ball and pick up the slack.

Given the Ryan deal is going to be an odd one with the Saints current picks being unfit for one reason or another, there has to be a way to bridge that gap. Really hope they get this one done if his head can be turned west.

Ryan + F3 for Steele + F3?

Edit: Swap our F2 for F3

 

[Coasters7]

Crows made the right call to walk

The Tim Kelly conundrum though - without already having won a flag.

A fair few of their key players are right in their prime. If they don’t win a flag in the next 2-3 years they could be in trouble anyway. Usually you cop the 1-2 dud years if it gets you a flag or two in the meantime

Hello Matthew.

 

[Barrybran]

Between Toby, Stringer and Oliver the Giants would be well on their way to becoming a team of unlikeable campaigners

But old unlikeable campaigners. Real 'get off my lawn or I'll karate kick you to the face' types.

 

[Barrybran]

Hello Matthew.

What are you suggesting?

Maybe if we get a reasonable bump in performance next season, the 'destination club' thing might gather momentum, especially with Harley and surrounding new guns and seniors.

Compo picks are before the WCE assistance pick.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Wasn’t on here for four minutes so I’ve missed 10,000 posts, have we talked about what Brand Petracca going to the Suns means for Alex Davies playing time?

 

[hbk2015]

So its now, Steele, Oliver, Simpkin, Titchell. All looking for new homes...

Crows remind me of WCE 2011-2012 atm. Good enough to get to the finals but not quite good enough to get to the summit. Still missing some key pieces.

 

[WA footy mad]

We dont want Oliver melbourne are trying to offload him as we all know he is the bad apple in the bunch. He is the only reason why so many Melbourne players are wanting to leave.
Melbourne should be paying his whole wages & giving a club a draft pick to get rid of him.
If they had done it earlier maybe some of there players may have stayed around.
Its a shame he is a good player but he may destroy your clubs culture.

I think Blamires goes national draft. So it's either hold a pick that is now in the 30's or miss out imo.

That IF Steele wants to play for us it is a straight swap. They just took the captaincy from him and are telling him to look for another club, his value is not higher than Liam’s. We've said Liam is a required player. It’s a straight swap or Saints can GAGF.

He’ll get to GWS.

I could tell you but it'll be about 2000 posts out of date by the time I finish typing it out

 

[Hasselhough]

You'd think the likes of Carlton and Collingwood are in his ear. I'd love to have him alongside Harley for a couple of years but concede it is remote.

Steele is on big money at saints . Doubt clubs like Collingwood look at him

 

[Elite Pete]

Ryan + F2 for Steele + F3?

They tell Steele to look for opportunities that lowers his price.

Pickers thinks Flanders is landing in Saints. If it’s true that’s what’s prompted Saints pushing him.

On face value, I agree. I don't think the Saints go for that but I had a look at the trade value and our F2 certainly isn't the right pick. A swap of F3's might work.

Don't forget Tom Berry

 

[hbk2015]

Steele and Yeo protecting Harley is something I need to see....

 

[Barrybran]

Yeah I hadn't visited l considered how wide the gap was between those picks when I posted that.

 

[Hasselhough]

Ryan + F2 for Steele + F3?

Ryan would have more value than steele .
Steele getting pushed and 1 dimensional

Ryan was an AA and can play small forward , HFF and centre bounces
