List Mgmt. Trade Week 2016 - Live Thread

[Bleedblueandgold]

With Vozzo saying that our 1st pick is not on the table, hoping that our 2nd rounder isn't either... Would hate to only have one pick before 51, unless we can somehow get another. No matter how good he is, not sure about giving up pick 33 (or whatever it will be) for someone who'll play for only 1 or perhaps 2 years more. Hopefully Hawthorn will accept our 3rd rounder at most since they're seemingly the ones that want to offload him to us. Alternatively since people wanted Lamb gone immediately, maybe we can offer him instead of a pick?

I reckon Duggan will benefit the most from Mitcho

 

[Smithy06]

Reckon this is a great move for the WCE - very confident a player of Sammy's ability can only help the Eagles 2017 flag chances.
... just make sure Eric McKenzie is on the next plane to Melbourne as compo!

Nice work Eagles

Sam defintely won't be calling him Druggo for fun

I dunno I rekon Sheed will learn a lot as will shuey. SHUEY FOR BROWNLOW

Emac doesn't have much currency. Looks very shaky at the moment so will be 30 before he's back to any sort of form

Some currency is better than negative currency

 

[avishka5]

I think sheed will. Similar type players. Sheed being a slow ball user will learn off Sammy. Hopefully Sam will teach him the art of kneeing

 

[2006_Eagles]

Oh it's Sam's birthday today

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMPAIGNER

SEN reporting a big announcement about to be made, maybe re brissy and rockliff or is it that mitchels gone to the hawks for pick 14!

Tom Mitchell to Hawks wasn't it?

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

sam mitchell for pick 69 good trade

 

[dajesmac]

Vardy in Perth too.

Mitchell & Vardy

not

Ballantyne & Petrie

God bless these smokescreens that we have hopefully been putting up (we could still get Petrie).

I really only care about retaining 12 (or accepting a downgrade to 14 or so), the rest I could handle.

 

[Quinz]

Emac needs to be moved on whilst he has currency. Gov and sexual are the future of the backline

Nah. Gov is the future of our forward line. #aggressive

There's still a spot for EMac.

hahaha ... thought that might get a few laughs!

IMO Duggan is almost identical to Mitchell. If there's a Mitchell-esque player at WC it's Duggan.

I would consider Emac for a pick that gets us Logue (spelling?)

All reports say we have been talking to him about coming over to coach for 2-3 years (at very least 12 months).

To be honest I've kinda always thought he'd end up here as an assistant after he finished with Hawthorn, the Simpson connection makes it a no brainer so I'm not falling over myself in awe at the Eagles brilliance for speaking to him about it over the past couple of years. It would be negligent not to have wouldn't it?

So far as this trade goes I don't see any indication from what we've said, Mitchell has said, Mitchells manager has said or anyone else has said that this wasn't 100% a Hawthorn decision made in the best interest of Hawthorn that just happens to make perfect sense for us, and is agreeable to Mitchell at the same time now he's seen the club is keen for him to make room for new blood.

I am loving the fact he is coming here, it could be the greatest thing that has happened to our club since sliced bread and I mean that. I'm actually excited about Duggan again now which for me is massive. But its almost entirely good luck, good fortune, and gift from god and not Eagles brilliance. They made an approach at the most highly regarded coaching prospect in the game based on the fact he has a strong relationship with our Senior coach, then Clarko saw an opportunity to make him a West Coast player and thats why it happening. Its awesome, it doesn't mean our recruiters are awesome. If their greatest trading coup of all times was also the luckiest thing that ever happened to them that could also be seen as an indictment.

 

[Smithy06]

I'd be pretty intimidated if I was Hurn. Imagine barking captains orders at Sam Mitchell!

Hurn: Sammy lift your work rate mate
Mitchell: *just blankly stares at Hurn*
Hurn: My bad, carry on mate

 

[stinger05]

We gain a quality MIDFIELDER that everyone has be going on about. We gain experience. We gain leadership, which is the most important thing that we need. And the old slow **** just won the Hawks B&F. Get over your hatred of him or **** off

No I will never stop hating Sam Mitchell.

Nathan Vardy is having a party

Pick 51 for Mitchell? Surely not, that's just taking the piss.

Round 2 is sufficient, will add alot.

[bassmanx]

I will not be supporting the Eagles in 2017 if this trade happens. Words cannot describe how much I hate this man. I will take a year off and follow EP for the year.

Hey man why just a year? Feel free to make it permanent.

 

[Lolbert]

Issue is we need our second for waterman. Maybe 51 and swap our 31 for their 35?
