Traded Liam Ryan [Traded with 2027 R3 to St Kilda for 2026 R2 (Stk)]

Unless Eagles have a plan for the pick why not just leave to end of trade period to try and get more?

Kudos for having so much hilarity in one short sentence.

WC have a storied recent history of letting the work experience kid do trade week. I can't even imagine what we would do if the AFL trade landscape involved actual bidding wars.

Not travelling every 2nd week might prolong what's left of the withered corpse of Liam Ryan.

In all seriousness, sad to see him go. He's given us a lot of great memories over the years, most notably folding Brayden Maynard in half on that Saturday in September.

All the best Flyin'!

EFA

Shame we have sent a good player to our 2025 bunny.

 

[billings2paddy]

Have you been busy lately? I haven’t seen you rage baiting and trolling in every single eagles related thread for at least week. Hope everything’s okay xx

Ive been pretty good happened how I predicted for a 29 yr old small forward

He does not seem to be a professional trainer and/or follow the dieticians instructions. Doubt hes put on any muscle since joining afl. This makes him seem like he's always trying to get his fitness up to scratch. He's also very prone to absolute coach killers e.g. mis kick from uncontested ball deep in defence which goes straight to opposition and sails back over his head. And he plays for high free kicks constantly

Didn't cost us much at all

Pick 22 next year

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Worst part about this trade is that the 2027 pick will represent the first movement of a player born in 2009.

 

[billings2paddy]

Pick 22 next year

If nothing changes ladder wise it's
more like a pick 30 as it would be this year
With a f3rd 2027 coming back.
Not a large cost

You'd expect St Kilda to improve next season with their trade and free agent blitz, so likely a lower pick than 30 if that draft is as compromised as 2025's.

I think the value for West Coast is going to come from the harsher NGA rules next year. A spare second rounder will be handy.

Hard to project where the 2027 third ends up. Tassie will have 7 first round picks, plus the first picks in the second and third round. Which means the earliest the Eagles third could be is pick 45.

That's before taking free agency compo and academy/FS picks into account (which have pushed the first pick in this year's third round back to 44 already). So I guess it could be in the 50s, but then on draft day the picks used to match bids actually end-up pulling later picks up the order.

We will see
Our second this year is pick 30
That pick probably ends up pick 35

What is that pinging sound you ask?

That'll be Liam's calf in rd 3 I say.

Bookmark it!

Classy.

One step above dogs supporters, but classy.

Correct, like I said. You’d expect St Kilda to improve.

Pick 35 + our second rounder would be worth somewhere around 950-1,100 points, which is enough to match a bid in the 12-16 range. Two-pick combos like that are going to be extremely useful under the new rules.

We’d be hoping either to hold someone to ransom or (more ideally) have our own NGA kid drafted in that range.

Geez for a bloke that was worth a FRDP they’ve jumped off him pretty quick.

Can only imagine the reception he will get next year in front of all the jilted fans….

Are you conceding we may not play West Coast on our home deck already?

Maybe we can play 3 out of the first 5 weeks in Perth rather than Adelaide next year.

This was a good trade for fair value. Everybody wins, Liam Ryan

included. Why is everyone still arguing and swinging their dicks around?

10 days of trade period, and being forced to endure the absolute deluged of crap that spews forth from the likes of Barrat and Josh freaking Jenkins has cooked everybody's mind. Everyone now think that there has to be winners and losers of trade week.

What actually happens is clubs work to find trades that generally suit all parties involved, because that is how deals happen, and players don't tend to want to screw over their old teams and generate bad press.

I wish I could just tune trade week and all the freaking tit for tat out, but I'm a bonafide Saints nuffy and I need the my fix.

Who would of thought? Lol
Now he's a spud
Our future second will be around pick 35ish but with a future 4th coming back

 

[Westlo]

Hed be Essendon's best player once Merrett leaves

Yeah he would be the best player for the essendon vfl side

Spud of the highest order, made a career out of being carried by better players…..

Gawn, Langdon, etc etc

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Absolutely stoked to get that for an octogenarian on a mobility scooter.

He's just turned 29, he has at least 4 years left.
St.Kikda's second round pick will be around pick 30, your 3rd round pick will be around pick 40.
Using the draft calculator, it's the equivalent of Liam Ryan for pick 42 https://www.draftguru.com.au/pick-value-calculator#30|42

 

[THE_GUN]

If we think the Saints are to be bottom 4 areas next year(very unlikely) then I think we might go for it.
Not if the Saints are looking to make finals, which they will be with all these supposed player acquisitions.
That F2 would be pushed to the 30s at best in that case(accounting for the top part of the draft being protected), which is just too far unders.

F2 + something sure

I did say it months ago that would be a F2 but bloody hell i never expected the eagles to throw in a 3rd rounder
Saints finish around the 8 and eagles bottom 3 again

thats just about a nothing pick of upgrading around 10 spots

 

[THE_GUN]

"Eagles are a willing seller, despite what Mini, Clark and Pyke have all said."

Sure thing bud.

How did this end for you ?
I dod say a willing seller but bloody hell they gave him away for chips
