Just to add to that

He isn't a huge kid but would be a good foil for Fev. He has shown he can kick goals and would be a walk up start into our 22. If we got him it would probably be bye bye Jake Edwards. We should definately not trade our first rd pick. Maybe a 2nd round pick and a fringe player. We should keep our first pick for HURLEY!

would a 2nd round draft pick get the deal done.

No hope of getting him in PSD.

For me, he'd be an ideal target inside 50, and would certainly take the heat off Fev, in terms of looking for another target.

As I have said previously, with Swann and Icke at the club, I have every confidence that they will do their best to get this deal, and any deal done.

That'd be enough I reckon, considering our 2nd rounder will be around the low 20's.

HBF if we were to get him do you think this might influence us to target a quick small/medium with good skills & x-factor with our 1st draft pick.

regardless if we get mckinley or not, our no#1 priority will be a CHF.

or a CHB, thus allowing Waite to build on his potential as an elite CHF

Ohh that should be easy considering there's an abundance of gun CHF's waiting to walk out on their club

I think its about time people stopped using Waite and 'potential' in the same sentence. He is 25 FFS!! That's his peak, not much potential left.

I know it seems like he can explode but I don't think its going to happen now at this stage of his career, I think we'll have to accept him as a hot and cold player who promised a lot for the rest of his AFL career. Sadly.

Sorry dude you're playing in the premier AFL competition in the country with potential to earn $$$$$$$$$.

Sorry don't want any Riewoldt's infecting our club

Fisher does the exact same job as Mckinley but better. Need a propper CHF. ____ i wish we still had JK.

 

[BlueYoss]

I remember hearing that Des Headland was fuming when Brisbane selected him with the # 1 draft pick in 1998. Apparently it is all captured on ABC's documentary 'The Draft'.

Not at all. We need targets and goal kickers no matter what the size. Fisher is more a half forward leading up the ground while McKinley is more a FP or undersized FF. He is a guy who will kick you potentially 60+ in a year, Fisher is not.

I would give up our 2nd rounder for him in a heartbeat though I get the feeling WC would want more.

not this year he aint. Until the CHF we get develops i'd take mckinley and fish leading up. Jk....still not brilliant yet, we will see

Kennedy out inj but they have still dropped McKinley and Armstrong this week

They obviously don't want him showing off his skills to the rest of the competition while his contract expires at the end of the year and his management still don't want to commence contract negotiations with them...

 

[Kouta_legend]

Wasnt Hurley available in the draft last year, alot of people where saying we should take him with our last pick

They'd definitely want more - if he was in our camp we'd want a first round pick.

My son was a great mate of his back in Vic and he is a fine young man whom I hope makes it but you guys are way over-rating him.

Nope JHurley wasn't available last year. McKinley is definitely suited more to playing inside and around 50. Would be good to get but the Eagles will probably demand more than we should offer i.e. 1st rd pick.

Interesting to see McKinley dropped this week

Yep and so did Kennedy. Wow I guess they are right, we really did lose out in the Judd deal. Damn
