West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

[Outtatym]

I don't mind the idea of additional picks for eagles, but should only be the 2nd rounders.

Something like a 2nd rounders for the next 2 or 3 years, plus the ability to select best mature ager before the draft for 2 or 3 years.

Mature agers should help immediately improve them.

Had a chuckle at this. I remember when everyone said the same about North. It's a tough sell to a mature age player nearing the end of their careers to go get flogged every week.

I mean a player like Mannugh.

If only they played their current mature players instead of letting them sit in the WAFL

What, because Jayden Hunt is totally gonna swing a game is he? They can't even get us a win in the wafl.

Its very difficult to find mature age players that are quality to help the kids and usually the players that are good dont leave their clubs easily and will need heavy financial encouragement.

Even though North have not gone up the ladder they have improved and Darling/Parker have helped in this area
Eagles will need to find 4-5 good seniors to help the kids learn and stop getting beltings next year

C'mon. Mature players would definitely improve our clubs.

Warner, J.Cameron, Bontempelli, Dawson, Gawn.

All mature players who would improve our respective clubs.

Simple

Now fair enough.... Take a similar path on what Freo did and review your footy department and medical department.

Dockers Hired Phil Merriman a few years ago. One of the best off field appointments we did?

Who is Phil Merriman? From 2011-2017, He wasn't the main medial staff member at the hawks, he was a member of them.

He then goes to demons from 2018 to 2021. Again he did some minor role as a medical staff or strength and conditioning or fitness role.

Dockers got him at the end of 2021. We won 15 games in 2022 with minimal injuries.

Thanks for the tip

Yay our shameless begging worked everyone should be so mad

 

[The_Reaper]

4 extra rookie spots should be something that should be availble to all clubs.
There is a salary floor and a salary cap.
There minimum squad size should remain the same but there should be a higher maximum squad size - rather than be forced to over pay players weak sides should be able to list more and try their luck that way.

No it didn’t. The Grand Final will still be played at Richmond’s home ground ever year.

Maybe that can be the trade. We give up pick 20 and the Grand Final gets Played in Perth for the next 50 seasons

Here's a better trade. Build a bigger stadium and you can them all.

I thought them being gifted pick 2 was the priority pick.

Sad a once mighty club needs to ask AFL assistance to get itself out of a self imposed mess. North I can understand but West Coast begging is a fair fall from grace.

Expect to see the first rounder wiped away picking up a bloke who’s probably only one more head knock away from retirement.

The rookie list spots will help them though. Retreads like Robertson, Mackintosh, Blight will instant make them more competitive on the field.

Well, at least we weren't rejected by Malcolm Rosas.

Well it worked for the lions and I don't see them complaining after there multiple flags

Na see pick 2 (if they get it) will just be a result of the free agent rules that have been in place for every single team for quite a long time

Should probably get familiar with the rules, it helps when posting

Not the same thing and don’t you talk you are getting a top 10 pick for Silvagni for goodness sakes I mean it’s not Ben McKay bad but it’s pretty bad

Not surprising really, WC has spent 2 whole seasons without a priority/concessional pick on their list for 5 wins total. Better get someone in quick smart.

One season actually, pretty sure Darling was a priority pick.
