I'm happy with that trade. We clearly have three objectives this trade/draft period:
-we are taking three live selections in the draft and we want all three to be top 10 selections.
-nail our trade targets in Starc, Young and Dev.
-have enough points to match bids on Banfield, Williams and Evans

I don't give a shit about picks beyond the late teens in a shallow draft. Trade them as needed to get three top 10 selections and enough points to bid match.

Rodreguez and Curtin in that zone you dont rate.

And some other interesting types like the 2nd and 3rd best tall forwards and defenders.

 

[Proeagle]

Sorry but much as I want Macarthy on the ball, in the forward line and the backline he needs to stay at halfback.
Ginbey,Hough and Baker are not the best kicks. Starcevich is ok,Hed is ok and Young I’m not sure.
Games are won and lost from HB.Look how much better we looked when he started streaming out of defence.
Dursma will start in defence if we take him.He had a great burst of speed.
Bo Allan?
Whichever way you look at it our defence looks very good.

After Young came back from his knee injury, he surprised Tigers fans by adding an attacking game and was kicking beautifully by their reports.

 

[eaglevision]

In one of his interviews yesterday Clarke mentioned player managers putting players forward to the club to consider for those extra rookie list spots.

Robertson is going to fill one of them as we and he have committed to each other already

The other spot(s) to be filled will be sorting through a bunch of players to find the best fit - add Schoenberg to the pile with Berry, Macrae and possibly Swallow it seems plus any number of possibilities

The good thing is we’re casting a wide net for options that cost us zero in a trade but will build AFL experienced depth and also give our WAFL side the mature help it so desperately needs

Assuming we take Duursma, Cumming and Sharp and land our mooted targets it’s actually a pretty strong Beagles side. Yes Archer at CHB.

[THE A5]

So Harry Schoenberg toured our facilities today hmm....

Man we are turning into norf by taking a bunch of other teams sloppy seconds to fill our lack of senior players

 

[Ochre]

Why are these kids doing what's in their own best interest, rather than doing what's best for me?

 

[WCErevival]

Billiams, Jillams and Tilliams. Interesting times.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

Encouraging a teenaged kid to go to a footy combine that he was invited to is woke?

Worrying about the AFL telling us off for draft tampering by telling one of our NGA's to find a reason not to go to the combine so will be able to take him without worrying about other clubs bidding on him is weak. And that is obviously what has hapenned.

Do you understand that if another club bids on him in the top 40 of the draft then we don't get him? All the time and money and investment we have put in over however many years goes down the drain?

What should be more important to us as a club - getting a return on our investment or hoping the kid has a good time at the combine?

 

[ep2018]

There is opportunity to fleece Essendon if they really want Duursma. Pick 1 for 5 and 6 would be a dream trade. But they would want something back most likely. We'll see how badly they want him.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

Why are these kids doing what's in their own best interest, rather than doing what's best for me?

If he wants to stay in WA and play for us, and we have guaranteed to take him, then how is it in his best interest to take a course of action that will likely lead to us not being able to take him?

 

[Proeagle]

We could of used the picks to trade up to 6. We are no chance now

Not many teams are going to be interested in any picks after the 30's this year. And we still can get pick 6 easily enough or one or 2 of ESS picks by splitting 1 or 2, using 12 and/or using future picks if we want. Our F2 is pretty valuable next year assuming we dont progress up the ladder. Even our F3 wouldnt be bad next year.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

What sort of comment is this? As a young up and coming player if you get invited to the combine, you'd be a ****ing moron not to go.

Edit: And I just noticed you actually said 'woketard'. My god you're embarassing.

If you or somebody like you were running the club we would win 20 wooden spoons in a row.

 

[THE A5]

Looking forward to seeing Ginbey becoming more of an attacking threat. his kicking is not Mccarthy level but if Mccarthy goes into a wing/mid, Ginbey is a great replacement. Hopefully Hough can find some touch in defence again but a part of me feel like they’ll spend the summer developing him as a mid.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I wonder if Dev not being part of the Starc trade (at this stage) increases the likelihood of Bris delisting him so we can add him a rookie.
Curious to see what we did with our surplus of picks in the 30's and 50's, if they just go to waste.

 

[Proeagle]

If you or somebody like you were running the club we would win 20 wooden spoons in a row.

But jeez we would have a good list in year 20 with all those number 1 picks.

 

[CountryLad]

He has a point now we will have to match a much earlier bid than before the combine

There is no point. There is no guarantee or contract that he gets drafted to the Eagles so why would he jeopardise his overall chances of getting drafted. Even if the club verbally said we want you, you aren’t taking that risk.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Do you understand that if another club bids on him in the top 40 of the draft then we don't get him?

Huh?

 

[salo]

We will give up pick 32.... You are kidding if you think Clarke wont do it

Nervous because it's Richmond he's dealing with again.

Surely we'd be due for some goodwill for helping to load their draft hand last year?!

I'm not confident but let's see how it plays out.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

There is opportunity to fleece Essendon if they really want Duursma. Pick 1 for 5 and 6 would be a dream trade. But they would want something back most likely. We'll see how badly they want him.

I'd prefer #1 than #5 and #6.

 

[squashface]

Why are these kids doing what's in their own best interest, rather than doing what's best for me?

Because of woke. Please try to keep up.

 

[eaglespremiers]

1 is a live option for me for a trade for something like 5, 21, 30.

 

[Shueperman13]

If we do still get pick 2 for OA, what about this? Picks 2 + 12 for picks 4 + 5?
We would end up with picks 1, 4, 5 in the top 10

 

[Obeanie1]

I like the Harry Schoenberg interest. Followed his progress early on and he has a crack.

Said a few times IMO Mini is looking for a Prestia meat ball sized mid rotation.

Newton, also a solid build.

Achilles injury was a setback for Harry.

 

[MaxHunt]

Looking forward to seeing Ginbey becoming more of an attacking threat. his kicking is not Mccarthy level but if Mccarthy goes into a wing/mid, Ginbey is a great replacement. Hopefully Hough can find some touch in defence again but a part of me feel like they’ll spend the summer developing him as a mid.

Good point imo. I was thinking that putting Starcevich in the backline and pushing out McCarthy means a big loss in run and carry off half back.

 

[Ochre]

Because of woke. Please try to keep up.

I'm trying but it's hard when I'm just a woketard rule follower.

 

[Hasselhough]

Why does everything have to be thought of in such a selfish manner? This is a teenage kid hoping to do whatever he can to jumpstart a potential dream career in the AFL, and we're saying he should arrogantly play silly games to help West Coast out?

Like who the **** do we think we are?

We are the club that finished dead last with 1 win . We need every edge we can get .
