Why West Coast Eagles want St Kilda ruckman Tom Hickey over Western Bullddogs free agent Jordan Roughead
WEST COAST

WEST COAST looks set to land contracted Saint Tom Hickey this trade period as the premiers aim to bolster its ruck stocks ahead of 2019.

With Nic Naitanui set to miss most of next season after doing his knee for the second time in three years, and with Scott Lycett expected to move to Port Adelaide, Adam Simpson needs a ruckman to help Nathan Vardy until Naitanui returns.

The Eagles met with Hickey during September and have also been linked to out of favour Western Bulldogs premiership ruckman Jordan Roughead.

But despite Roughead being easier to acquire, former St Kilda great Leigh Montagna said Hickey’s performances against the Eagles in the past have made him an attractive proposition to the side who beat Collingwood in last Saturday’s thrilling grand final win at the MCG.

“I think West Coast are pretty keen on Tom Hickey,” Montagna said on The Trade Lowdown.

“I think he’s put in some good performances against the Eagles in the past. They like his athleticism on the big ground over in Perth.

“So I think they’re pretty keen on him but they are going to have to give up a draft pick for Tom Hickey.”


Fox Footy senior reporter Tom Morris believes the Eagles would prefer to land Hickey over Roughead and might need to part with their second-round pick to get the deal done.



“At the moment West Coast have Picks 21 and 37 in the national draft. This is without any Tom Lynch compensation. Tom Hickey would come for that draft pick,” Morris said.

“Jordan Roughead’s a free agent so he can go for free. That’s what West Coast have to weigh up — my understanding is Hickey is their No. 1 priority, Roughead is their No. 2 priority.

“The Hickey deal is really important for this (the Hannebery deal) because if Hickey goes to West Coast, it’s likely St Kilda will get that No.37 pick back in return.

“St Kilda have absolutely no picks between their first pick and about Pick 58 at the moment. So they have to use that Hickey pick to get Hannebery along and maybe a future second round pick as well.

“That’s why they don’t really mind if they lose him.”

Haha. Hickey is s**t. It will be his 3rd club. Roughead might be shot but he is still better than Hickey.

Pretty close

Which is why you'd think Roughy for nothing is a lot more appealing than Hickey for a 2nd rounder. Strange

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I know this is highly unlikely to eventuate but I read this today on 'theroar' trade rumours: "Daniel Menzel – Menzel seems a chance to move to the Western Bulldogs following news that St Kilda’s interest in him has cooled and Geelong have encouraged him to look elsewhere. Unrestricted free agent." I'm a bit worried because here he is fronting up at VUWO for a medical yesterday: View attachment 569268

Every other club has rejected him so he must be coming to us

If they take Roughy as a free agent, it affects the compensation they get for Gaff or Lycett, so they'd rather be trading for him regardless

 

[Chicago1]

Richmond Cheer Squad has lodged papers for Chicago1 to transfer as an unrestricted free agent

Impossible.
1. In order to lodge papers, said individuals would have to know how to read and write.
2. I will not be unrestricted. Next week I will be getting an abdominal binder to wear.
3. I am not free. I am a slave to my MacBook.
4. Agent? OK, you got me there. I was not a teacher for 25 years here. I was a CIA agent. Was it a coincidence that Gough got sacked just two months after I arrived in Australia? I think not.
5. I'd rather move back to Trumpland than have that occur.

Roughy doesnt seem to have any suitors aside from WCE.

Do we still have an offer on the table for him? Albeit it probably is a fair bit less than Roughy wants

I think he will end up staying, then Campbell is delisted and we move on

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

No matter what happens in trade week, it can’t top the crazy week I’ve had personally. Life is pretty strange sometimes.

Hope everything is ok mate !!

If Gaff goes to NM for a mill+ as expected, Roughys offset will make no difference, they'll still get first round.

This seems to be looking more likely. It would not be a bad gig as English is unlikely to play 22 games and neither is Boyd so there will be opportunities.

 

[Wetdog]

Inside contested beast and a elite small forward that kicks goals

So a ready made replacement for Dahl?

Is there a feeling he might come straight into the side and have an immediate impact (similar to Richards but different type)?

When was this?

 

[BevoRambo]

Should we make a play for Liam Duggan this off season? Local boy. Massive dogs fan growing up. Just won a flag so repaid eagles and looks to have plenty of upside left.

Beautiful left peg rolling in from the wing hitting the Chad on the chest is a nice picture.

Everything is cool mate, appreciate the concern. It’s not bad news. It’s just news that’s kinda rocked my world.

Good to hear !!

 

[Munnez]

If we match a bid on West at 15-18, would that count as another 1St rounder. If he is one of the first 18 picked technically it should?

Yep that would definitely count its still in the 1st rnd range

We may not have won a lot of premierships over the last few decades but we sure did a lot of rooting!
