With one day left eagles have mitchell. Simpson says eagles will be aggressive this trade period am i missing something or the trust of our coach has gone out the window? Vardy is injury prone so we look at him????

You're right.

We should have targeted a mentally weak & undersized KPF, undersized KPD, slow & unathletic 3rd tall forward, and a soft outside wingman. Poor trade period WCE.
 
Clem Smith , Eagles want as a rookie so need to wait five weeks for Smith but as a former top junior he is worth a go !!
He'll choose Perth over the Eagles.

And the bold section is the flawed logic that saw us recruit JON, Lucas and Morton. Smith isn't good enough and it is a waste of a rookie spot.

What happened to the Marcus Adams to us rumours? If we picked him up to cover the possible loss of Mackenzie and Brown I think we'd win out of it.
Hamling chose Freo, Dogs told Adams he is a required player.

Adams is happy to play out the contract, will look at him end of 2017...unless his foot stays ****ed.

Why the hell would anyone in their right mind play for Perth? Have to be some sort of masochist. :p
 
Vardy, 38 and 56 for 34 and 54?

Puts his value at ~pick 64 and importantly leaves us with a pick in the 70s to maybe have a crack at Ryan, assuming Waterman is taken with pick 56.

He showed good signs in his first year, but hasn't carried on with it. Wasn't he struggling to get a game with the Tiges? Given how they went last year that's a pretty big red flag.
Player development under Hardwick has been abysmal. They have a handful of very good players at the top then the drop off is huge. Kids not coming on, and players like Lennon who should be taking the next step. Also seemed to be a bit of picking the same old players to play there after the problems got papered over with in that '15 winning run.

He also is quoted as saying Conca is his mentor, I would have thought there were a couple of other players you'd consider before him but that said I don't know the guy at all.
 
Was listening to trade radio, only reference to Marsh was that he'd LEFT the pies.

Has he quit and we'll pick him up at PSD?
Or is there still a trade to do. Worth it for a late pick IMO.
With Brown gone he could provide backline back up - if we can rookie him, not sure he is worth a main list spot.

Fair enough,wouldn't say it was aggressive recruiting tho.trading our emac would have been aggressive or somehow getting jom to come home ..

Maybe they did their due diligence and decided jom's knees were stuffed? With the number of knee issues he has had it would not surprise me if barely plays another game at AFL level.

There's some merit in that since I'm not sure if they'll use 72 anyway

I reckon the exchange of 34 for 38 could be enough on its own without the swap of 3rd rounders as well
 
This is interesting. Didn't Giles win the goal kicker award for EP as a ruckman?

He did, somehow, but I don't think they see Lycett and Giles as a good tandem - which is probably fair on exposed form.

So Vardy it is...who will probably be more likely to keep Nic company in the rehab room than anything else but oh well..

If the Cats get 63 from Freo maybe 63, 74 and vardy for 54 and 72. It would be nice to keep 34 if possible.
