Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Super-mega-ultrathread

[Miguel Sanchez]

If he was good enough he would have played for games - Koby.

The others might still be recruited back in as rookies again, can we do that?

Yes but we had no need to delist Hamp, Papertalk or Mascoulis so it suggests the club doesn't want them.

Neates could be re-rookied

 

[WCE_Phill]

Trade with carlton?

Stevens + Lynch for ? ? ? ?

Murphy?

 

[jdisc]

Damn, don't want to see Koby in the colours of another team

what, like north ballarat or something?

West Coast were hopeful that we would keep Stevens (see Nisbett/Vozzo interviews) and look what happened. Doesn't mean much - it's ultimately up to the player.

 

[Quinz]

Damn it koby. Our 09 draft is very disappointing.

 

[PAdman]

Damn it koby. Our 09 draft is very disappointing.

can't really blame koby when our mc picks spuds like mcginnity over him

 

[ausbacker]

Damn it koby. Our 09 draft is very disappointing.

I'm not all to fussed that Stevens has requested a trade. Let's hope other clubs view him with some value and West Coast can recoup some of their investment. As a second round pick who has shown flashes of potential, you'd think there would be suitors.

 

[Quinz]

No great loss with Neates, Mascoulis, Papertalk and Hamp though.

 

[jaxxon]

Hope we do better than the Ebert trade last year (ignoring the subsequent trade for Hill), but it seems unlikely. Mascoulis a tad unlucky, had the skills and some tricks, but his body just isn't up to it.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Only ones i would prefer are Taylor and possibly Atley in a few years. Smith is obviously a unknown quantity. I truly believe he would be a good asset but whether we can get him at the right price is another thing.

Surely Menzel has star quality written on him if he gets over his injuries.

 

[EagleEyes]

With Neates being delisted and Stevens requesting a trade home, who will be the third player on the senior list to be moved on/delisted? Don't we have to get rid of three players per year??

We have delisted Neates and cut Michael Mascoulis, Anton Hamp, Callum Papertalk off the rookie list with Stevens and looks like lynch will go aswell.

 

[Double the Fist]

**** you Stevens. And thus ends any good will I had for you, also my high hopes for you are now in ruin.
I hope you never play another AFL game.
**** Ebert too..........

ahhhh. Thats better

They weren't on the senior list though.

what did you expect? good player with a load of potential but never given a chance.

Who do we blame for Stevens departure?

or

 

[jdisc]

Surely Menzel has star quality written on him if he gets over his injuries.

if.

 

[jdisc]

Who do we blame for Stevens depature?


or

why? did swift force him to leave the club?

 

[Special Agent Utah]

if.

Yep and unfortunately its a really big IF.

But yeah i rate him.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

why? did swift force him to leave the club?

Do we blame the guy getting games or the guy giving the games to him?

 

[EagleEyes]

Unlike Ebert the positive news with Koby leaving is a lot of Melbourne clubs are interested so that will make sure we will get a decent pick for him.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Ditching 2 rookies after just 1 season is damning.

I hope it prompts a reavaluation on our attitude towards recruiting rookies. A bit more 'steady back-up' and a bit less *cough* 'project player'.

Cox was a project player off the rookie list, as was Sandilands, as was Garlett at Carlton.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

I think Stevens would flourish if given enough opportunity. Realistically what sort of deal would be good enough for the West Coast? Third rounder?

 

[jdisc]

Yep and unfortunately its a really big IF.

But yeah i rate him.

so do i, but these sorts of picks will either pay off massively or just fail
