"Damian Barrett reveals Ryan Gamble is a chance to go to the Blues"

Could be that they have cooled on Bmac.

If we get a couple of late picks for Mckinley and Spangher that we don't use it will be a disgraceful outcome.

i fail to see how west coast could argue shuey is worth pick 8. he was drafted at pick 18and has played little football in 2 years and subsequently hasn't developed much. For example if WC were to lose him to GC as an out of contract player the compensation would be equivalent to nathan krakouer at best - 3rd round draft pick.

Obviously i rate him as do many an eagles fan but realistically his trade currency is not worth pick 8.

Trade murmur: Eric the Eagle on the email says: "Inside news here. Matt Spangher to Carlton will happen tomorrow and Ben McKinley to Westen Bulldogs will be finalised by Friday lunch at latest. WCE just waiting on other trades to finalise with the picks going to WCE and a player possibly Grigg. McKinley deal needs a push from Western Bulldogs to get what WCE wants.

If Shuey left I would probably stop watching eagles play I think he is our success player.. he seems really loyal and wanting to play at Eagles so I think he will stay.

He has not played because of injury, Yes agreed hard to see from outside what he is worth - but we don't want to lose him

remeber this draft is compromised so pick 8 is worth pick 20

A number of Essendon fans on your board seem very happy to take Shuey for pick 8. Seems to be an OK indication of what fans think he is worth in any case.

Don't see how the GC is at all relevent. But they give greater compensation for younger players, and those taken earlier in the draft.

I liked this rumour on SEN

Deal between Dogs and Cats for Stephen Tiller has fallen through. Cats not keen.


hahahah

no shit - not sure how there is a trade to fall over when the supposed receiving club wasn't interested.

 

[SillyKent]

Probably led them on ...

 

[mehow2g]

Please tell me these Shuey "rumors" are bullshit

 

[anti_]

sorry mate, they're true.

hopefully we'll be compensated in the right manner.

 

[Quinz]

Stop being a **** anti

He won't leave.

i agree pick 8 this year is akin to pick 20.

however trading for a 20yr who has experienced injuries and health problems (glandular) instead of a talented fit 18yo (a pick 8) needs to be taken into consideration.

personally i don't see a top ten pick being put on the table (regardless of compromised draft). had essendon been trading a pick between 15-20 i think it would be more reasonable.

its only rumour at this stage anyway - i haven't seen anything official that shuey has requested a trade but whilst he remains uncontracted it will be a talking point.

 

[mehow2g]

fk sake we getting rooted again. throw money at him seriously he will be a ****ing star..

Don't think it's that reasonable.

That's the same pick we got him for, in a weaker draft that has already been compromised. Even if he wanted to leave we'd be asking for more.

If we manage to get our hands on Grigg I'll be very pleased.

Strongly doubt it'll happen though.

So many flaws in your logic.

Glandular and a broken leg are hardly indicative of any long term weakness' in his physical make-up.

Anyone who has seen him play would realise how good he will be. Pick 8 isn't a bad pick. Maybe you would give us that for Masten. I mean he was a Pick 3 and has played a number of games, shown a bit and "ready to explode" ...

 

[anti_]

sadly i think we're going to get shafted and only get around pick 20 for him.

sigh...it's like judd all over again.

had high hopes for this kid.

Quinz card this guy quickly. He'll be the detonator in the geoffe miles atom bomb. His ol mate hardie will catch wind of this and geoffe will explode and wipe out most of the southern suburbs of perth

 

[davidantonowicz]

This would be my ultimate (reasonably realistic result):

Spangher + Mckinley + 28 to Carlton for Pick 18.
Pick 26 to Suns for Krakouer + Ceglar.
Pick 45 to WB for Josh Hill.

This would mean we gain Pick 18, Krakouer, Ceglar, Hill.
And lose Pick 26, Pick 28, Pick 45, Spangher, Mckinley.

So we'd go into the draft with Pick 4 (Heppell or Gaff) , Pick 18 (Lamb or Darling) and Pick 62 (Brennan). Then with our PSD pick we can select whoever, and we can upgrade Stevenson to the main list. Whilst delisting 2 of Nicoski, Bones or Hansen.

How are you going to fit Krakouer, Ceglar, Hill, Pick, 4, 18, Brennan and PSD onto our list (whilst retaining Stevenson) while only deleting Mckinley,Spangher, Hansen and Bones?

40 doesn't go into 38, I just dont see how the numbers stack up? (veterans taken into account)

Has our list squeeze crisis gone somewhat unnoticed on this board?

I agree but sounds more like a west coast deal than just 3rd/4th rounders

well when you draft an 18yo in the first round you anticipate 12 years of service with the guy getting in about 15 games in his first 2 seasons.

with shuey he's basically missed 2 years of football, will take a year to develop now so he's behind the 8-ball in terms of value on the open market.

i wouldn't be upset if essendon traded pick 8 for shuey but i don't see it happening. more chance of trading pick 30 and whatever compensation they get off richmond for houli assuming that goes thru. should richmond give up pick 29 i personally think a deal of picks 29+30 is adequate.

That's the beauty of the market

When the buyer and seller disagree on the products worth - it remains unsold.

Happy days - Shuey stays at WC
