Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Elite Pete]

Cooked.

Don’t disagree but so are Swallow and Duncan and apparently we had/have interest there. I’d take him before Swallow but I reckon he would want a 2 year deal to move and he isn’t worth that

The Great Ah Chee Cover-Up... Conspiracy Theory Time

Rumour has it that during the early days of the trade period, West Coast list boss Matt Clarke and Brisbane’s ever-calculating Dom Ambrogio met behind closed doors, or perhaps over a “totally innocent” flat white to hatch a secret plan.


The alleged plot? Keep Cal Ah Chee out of Adelaide’s hands at all costs. Strengthening a South Australian rival was simply not on the agenda.


In exchange for a gentleman’s handshake, West Coast quietly agreed not to bid on Dan Annable, and in return, the Ah Chee deal would mysteriously “fall through” just before the deadline.


Coincidentally, that’s exactly what happened — Ah Chee now finds himself sliding toward the Pre-Season Draft, where… who just happens to have pick one?


Clarke, of course, is vehemently denying any interest, telling reporters he “doesn't fit our list profile”, however insiders will later "leak" that Don Pyke himself has demanded that the Eagles come circling back with an offer too good to refuse.

Some say it’s a morally flexible masterstroke...others say it’s downright corrupt. Either way, if Ah Chee ends up in blue and gold, don’t be surprised if a few coffee tabs between Perth and Brisbane mysteriously go unpaid.

Well I for one am hoping this is true.

We would really improve with starcevich, Robertson and achee in our side along with young.

isn't Barnett 204cm and athletic?

just saying.

Come on now cuzzy...

sex life!

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Tom Mitchell delisted..not a sexy option, would we go there for free? Perhaps after a few beers?

No. Cooked.

 

[Benny duggans]

Nah I think just commenting on how he’s a meat and three veg, workmanlike, get the job done type of hard nut - who is just a winner.

I like those types - Murphy Reid was one pre last draft that was all ‘just finds the footy / great vision & hands’. It’s certainly not run of the mill to consistently dominate as a junior with seemingly not too much flash or tricks to pull out. Really like what Sharp would bring to us

I was keen on reid instead of ballan as reid did come with the super smart footballer tag with his skills and has that pendlebury vibe , unfortunately it is with the flogs down the road. Im keen on sharp , hopefully his contested side and smarts get to that level

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

No. Cooked.

Probably right. There's a surprising amount of rookie options presenting themselves for us this year, great timing.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Hey guys I think Tom Mitchell been delisted

 

[Benny duggans]

If CDT really is 204 now (and possibly still growing) that really does change things.

We also have to remember that the clubs have all the combine info, whereas we just have the top tens. If, as someone said higher up, his jumps were just outside the top ten he's definitely more appealing, which is a good thing no matter what way we go. Either we draft a more appealing prospect, or there's more drive for say essendon to get silly and offer 5+6. Can't lose.

Obviously losing a little puppy fat and gaining more muscle. His results might have a greater positive curve then others

 

[Dark Sharks]

just saying.

The irony here is that Barnett actually looked a much more competent and complete ruckman pre draft than CDT does.

maybe together they can add up to 1 competent player

Really?

Btw I heard tom Mitchell has been delisted.

Assuming they're depth/leadership rather than coming to play afl(i wouldnt play titch in our best 22) id take Swallow over titch comfortably

 

[jesterwester]

Tom Mitchell would be ideal as a rookie for a year or two.

He’s an elite preparer, can find the ball in the contest despite his size and although perhaps not the quickest has so much midfield experience that we just genuinely lack at present.

Like Starcevich has been around elite premiership winning teams as well which only be a good thing for our younger crowd. I feel like we could do a lot worse with one of our 4 extra slots. I get the feeling we want someone a bit younger but we could do a lot worse- he’s a known quantity.

Selling him coming over with a newborn on the way might be a hard sell, but could dangle a coaching opportunity as well.

Would be a good back up for Yeo in the injury room when Elliot is fit.

No he wouldn't. He is an elite preparer but barely gets up every week. He would end up in the WAFL side, taking valuable experience away from our young crop who have to develop in his exact position.

If we are going to spend the extra rookies spots the AFL gave us, we need to be spending them on players 21-26yo.
One of
Clohesy
Blamaris
Phillips

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Clohesy would be my #1 pick for the midfield. I'd also be keeping close tabs on Will Phillips and Ben Hobbs situations. Shame Tom Mitchell is cooked, because we really are missing that sort of experience in there. Fingers crossed we see the return of angry Yeo because 2024 was glorious when he was up and going.

 

[Forward Press]

Nope, and I've been one of those thinking maybe Kamdyn McIntosh could do a job for us.

Game has gone well past him.

The way the game is going, transition football is essential and Tom Mitchell is not capable of that (and would only get worse). There's a reason not a single team has displayed interest.

 

[Avalor]

If CDT really has grown to 204cm that changes things. Makes him a legitimate pick no.2 on potential. Not sure I believe it though. It’s almost impossible for a guy to be that tall and run the way he does, both over 20m and 2km.

Gotta take CDT. Looked at his video minutes, and he will be a gun, a beast. For all those that said he can't mark or ruck, what nonsense. He is a sound mark and his tapwork was on point. He is too good not to take with pick 1 or 2. Every mock has him at either 1 or 2.

 

[Bender_]

Cooked.

No need to take your anger out on us coz yer man Mason retired today.
