List Mgmt. Trade & Draft UltraThread- Warning, May Contain Speculation #combinethethreads

[FKASC]

St Kilda seem to fail on all high profile trade acquisitions - add hannebery to that list.

They’ve done ok with guys like Bruce, Membrey and Roberton

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In hidsight this is like the Stenglein Vs Headland trade again. We went for the workhorse as opposed to the flashy one and we got more than repaid with the move.

Plus Adam Selwood never made Stenglein his bitch.

The main reason for Allen going out of the side isn't Allen, it's good old team balance. We do look better as a team with JK/Darling and an assortment of smalls with a ruckman as a third marking option.

Well at the moment we have Ryan, Rioli, Cameron and Petruccelle. Think thats a decent amount of small forwards.

Allen spends time too close to goals when not in the ruck. He needs to be further up the ground being an option between the arcs.

Not only that it’s also good to rotate that spot given we have four pretty decent young key forwards and all could do with a bit of afl.

Based on Burgoyne playing on next year at 38 years of age, you would have to think that Kennedy has another six or seven years in him.

 

[eagles rule]

I’m not sure we would change anything given our time again

Oh yeah I’m pretty sure we would , 5 games into the season Wce realised they ****ed up ..

No, don’t think so.
Used pick 13 on Brander.
WC didn’t work too hard to get a like pick to satisfy Geelong last year or offer Brander up in a trade so how does that make them think that they f**ked up?
Makes me think that they were happy with their decisions.

Well he could have, in the change rooms. We may never know

 

[Scotland]

You want 3 talls and 2 rucks?

 

[Scotland]

Well at the moment we have Ryan, Rioli, Cameron and Petruccelle. Think thats a decent amount of small forwards.

Those 4 plus the 3 talls is 7 forwards who don't really play many midfield minutes. There's a limit to how many of those you can have hence Petch was out for a bit.

What makes you say West Coast didn't try too hard? I would be keen to have an understand of what they did attempt.

Personally I have no idea how much time or what they offered other clubs. All I know is what was reported - they first 7 picks were likely to be highly prized.

Maybe. I just don't get why people continually want Brander to be part of the equation.
Brander will be playing for the Eagles long after Kelly has retired. (See Kennedy/Judd Longevity)

I want Oscar Allen in the side

 

[boondy]

Brander is about to break out . Looked impressive against West Perth . Would rather keep Brander than trade for Kelly .

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Dylan82 how are those whispers moving?

 

[Falco]

Im not a fan of trading Brander. Id rather keep him and develop him into a CHF with Darling at FF and Allen as third tall. The only problem I see is fitting in Jake Waterman. The guys too good for WAFL at the moment.

Yep, I reckon he will be a Jeremy Cameron type player down the track. Next year, he should begin to make his mark. You don't trade talent like that, besides he loves the Eagles.

Maybe we end up going from playing an extra mid as a forward, to playing an extra forward as a mid

 

[hungrytiger]

Trade Waterman. Our future is
Darling FF, Brander CHF, Oscar 3rd fwd ie Gunston like.
We have Bailey J Williams to ruck/fwd as well.
Vardy will be surplus too.

NN, Hickey, Brooksby, Williams, Vardy

 

[Falco]

Trade Waterman

It would be interesting to see if he could play that role. Even a tall wingman, but his kicking isnt good enough.

Are you talking Waterman? Think Brander is more likely the tall wingman

Waterman's field kicking has always been very good. His set shots in the past however not so much however much improved from what i've seen of late.

 

[Mattman93]

Waterman's field kicking has always been very good.

What? It's borderline his weakest area. Suspect decision maker up the ground and his kicks tend to hang in the air.
