Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

Why the **** would the eagles do that?

In recent years West Coast have dumb things like that.

 

[bigman]

McGowan said Dees are keen on Nairn and has them taking him with 7.

Would be a big bolter in that case.

 

[THE_GUN]

If West Coast / Carlton were interested in doing a trade for #9 or #11
Wouldnt it have made sense for the eagles to give doggies #58 and give Blues a freebie with trading #53 that would come into around #47 for #67 & #72 as they would have been wiped out for the eagles

Massive
Most have Nairm going 25+ and Cal Twomey has him Ranked #29 in his october rankings

Has a bit of Windsor about it.

Would be an even bigger rise though.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Points are very easy to accumulate

Worst case scenario is a pick 2 bid, 2233 points

So your 9 and 11 become. Dean and pick 35

Would mean you have 35, 42, 53 post dean, they come in about 5-8 slots when Uwland, Annable, Paterson are bid on

Would mean circa Dean, Ison, Pick ~35

Thats with having a spud recruiting manager that doesnt know how to call people or use a laptop

If you allow teams to poster knowing youll fold over then they will continue targetting the weak link

We will be able to match either way but considering we've lost Curnow and TDK to get those picks, getting Dean +Ison and nothing else would be a loss for us. Thats the scenario we are looking at with a pick 2 bid.

Yeah its a pretty crap situation and totally opposite to what the Norther states paid for their kids

It actually frees up a crapload of salary cap space for a free agent.. committed contract offers between Charlie (900k), TDK (1.2m), Jack (750k) - that's $2.8m freed up 20% of the cap. Ainsworth, Hayward and Florent would have taken a good chunk of it. But Doc retiring (~$700k), Fantasia, Cincotta and Binns would be a combination of ~($750-850).. so I think we can target a free agent in 2026 alongside Cody Walker.. I think we could have up to $1.8m maybe more, much more if Williams, Saad and McGovern contracts are not renewed in 2026.

It won’t please many Eagles fans but may please Bombers fans

Eagles locked in to the Duursma/CDT duo. No bites for pick 2 and Eagles going with those 2

You mentioned that Eagles would bid on Uwland and Dean (but not Annabel and Patterson) at 2…any updated sense of the likelihood of this?

WC should get those two, on the way to bidding on a lot of the Brisbane/GC & Carlton players. The more point's they take out, the better the rest of their picks will be.

No one is passing if they do it in the right order.

I doubt the eagles bid on Brisbane players with the 'Help' the Lions gave them

• Starcevitch
• Robertson
• #2

I would think there is a wink/wink involved there

 

[nineteen eighty]

The main rumour from Eagles side is

• We want a Future 1st in some shape or form by using pick 2 or 13 to do it
• Tylah Williams a chance to attract a bid in the first round which may cause Eagles issues later in the draft
• Eagles will bid on Uwland and Harry Dean with pick 2. Patterson and Annable will slide to Richmond to do

Zero chance pick 2 is in the equation for a F1!

 

[nineteen eighty]

Can I be an arrogant prat by saying:

Rumour is:

• Eagles do not trade pick 1 & 2. No chance!
• Tigers keep their pick of 3 & 4 and select one of best available and one of best needs
• Carlton get Dean
• Dons get best available and are extremely happy with how it plays out.

So much talk and yet nothing much will change at the top end.

 

[bulldogs201616]

I cant be arsed reading the whole thread. Any rumours pertaining to Freo?

Yeah West Coast are trading pick 1 and 2 to Freo for a future first and second.

 

[bulldogs201616]

McGowan said Dees are keen on Nairn and has them taking him with 7.

Would be a big bolter in that case.

Where did you read or hear that?

Oh you guys are goint backwards, no doubt about that

Curnow, Jsos and TDK huge losses

Just pointing out it can so easily be done without even doing anything
... which wont happen

Thats fair but GC did nothing for them

 

[THE_GUN]

Yep they should go wild on both Carlton & Gold Coast

Start with Dean please Eagles

Surely the Dees trade back if they want him!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Eagles have 34,41, 53 to deal with an earlier than expected T.Williams bid

There are some rumours Geelong will go for him at 19 though I hope we dont. The Eagles also want banfield although he might get through to RD

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Pretty good app for mock drafts and live trading.

 

[eaglevision]

Dovaston at 13 and pass on Williams if there’s a bid in the first or early second round would be my preference.

I suspect WCE think Banfield won’t require a points match or will get to Cat A.
