Would be nice but can’t see the AFL removing it as it helps to grow the game, especially in QLD and NSW

Only National Combine Invitees would be available to be bid on so only 61/3000 who nominate can be picked up through the auction. The number of National combine invitees is generally fairly consistent with the number of draftees so there shouldn’t be too many players there. All unpicked players...

Current problems with the draft Academies, father-sons, free agency compensation and priority picks Unanimous best prospect greatly encourages tanking (i.e. Harley Reid) Relatively inflexible current system Predictability with where top picks are drafted (Callum Twomey rarely gets players wrong...

Looking at previous premiership sides over the past 10 years and the picks that each player was taken at, the median pick used on a key defender in a premiership side was greater than pick 55 whilst the median pick used on a key forward in a premiership side was taken at pick 13. Also worth...

Eagles have been very successful but Geelong have made more grand finals (9) and hawthorn have had more premierships (5) since the inception of the AFL.

I'd say at that price eagles would consider that fair to chip in a portion of the salary. Eagles should have cap space to burn anyways.

I think Sheed in the future needs to be deployed on a half forward flank that pushes up for stoppages. It has been noted that his strength lies in getting stoppage clearances, whilst his center square stoppages are not particularly strong. He does not require as much defensive responsibilities...

I highly doubt Naughton signs a one year deal or he is walked to PSD. Eagles will likely finish close to last and use the threat of PSD as leverage, I imagine they would split their first pick and offer a mid first rounder to Western Bulldogs. It is a sizeable discount on his worth but something...

I think Steven May being traded to a Melbourne is a comparable trade as he was a vice captain for Gold Coast, yet to get in AA team, the draft was similarly strong that year, he was under contract (although he only had one year left) and May was 28 at the time. May and Kade Kolodjashnij were...

Probably an overly optimistic view of what I think the club should attempt to do to help us accelerate our rebuild. Important to note for this section that I would be for keeping veterans to help us compete in the short term but if they are always injured then the lack of availability hurts...

Hey Port fans, congrats on a great day of trading. Seems a lot of supporters don’t rate Junior and I thought I’d like to dispel a lot of misconceptions around his game. Rioli’s stats don’t jump off the page, especially this season but not many small forwards playing in a historically bad side...

Think Barrass deserves a mention for AA team but will probably miss out due to our lack of team success. Simmo in his presser claimed he was having an AA season and has probably been our best player in every game for last 5-6 weeks (not hard I know). His stats are all above average or elite in...

Anyone have the link for the WAFL vs SANFL replay. I couldn’t find any link on the AFL website where it’s supposed to be. As an eagles supporter there’s not much to look forward to besides the draft and mid season draft this year 😅

Is there any chance that we don’t renew Shuey, Naitanui or Redden’s contract and we get a decent draft compo?

Elliott seemed very well held (I know he got injured late) and seemed to be pushed into the midfield to get more involved. Wasn’t able to tell who was primarily responsible for defending him but it seemed like it was Witherden? If Witherden is locking down players and providing his kick then...

B: Cole Barrass Hurn HB: Sheppard Hedwards McGovern C: Redden Yeo Gaff HF: Cripps Darling SPS F: Ryan JK Allen R: Naitanui Kelly Shuey I: Rotham Duggan Sheed Rioli I think McGovern was quite poor last season, especially by his standards. This was likely due to the rule change however...

Best Ever 22: B: Wirrapanda Glass Worsfold HB: McGovern Jakovich McKenna C: Mainwarring Kemp Matera HF: Embley Summich Shuey FF: Lecras Kennedy Lewis F: Cox Cousins Judd Interchange: Nic Kerr Hurn Priddis

I don’t understand how people believe Kelly is worth anything more than our first pick. Redden at Brisbane when he was traded to West Coast averaged more disposals, marks and tackles at the same age and it was considered Eagles had paid overs. A late second and a exchange of picks or our first...

Ins: Priddis, Wellingham Outs: Lycett, Nelson McGovern can ruck instead of playing an inexperienced McInnes against Sydney or Giles who is struggling to string together a few good games in the WAFL. Nelson tries hard but if Wellingham is fit someone must make room. I thought Hutchings played...

Collingwood and Geelong FB: Enright Taylor Williams HB: Bartel Henderson Guthrie C: Duncan Pendulbury Caddy HF: Sidebottom Cloke Swan FF: Motlop Hawkins Elliot R: Blivcas Joel Selwood Dangerfield INTER: Grundy Adams Treloar Crisp EMG: Aish Greenwood Scott Selwood

This is true I had forgot about Stef and was thinking about West being the number 1 ruckman but ruck depth is poor but to be fair not many clubs have good back up ruckman. I would say Sydney have the worst ruckman after listening to your comments as Sinclair is sorry to say it Sydney a crab but...

Defenders: Brisbane Lions Midfielders: Saint Kilda Ruck: Sydney Swans Forward: Carlton Blues Youth (U23): Hawthorn/North Coach: Nathan Buckley (Edit Sydney have worst ruckman)

I am only going to say GWS really good players otherwise there will be too many. GWS have: Cameron aged 23 Greene aged 22 Shiels aged 22 Congilio aged 21 McCarthy aged 20 Patton aged 22 Whitfield aged 21 Smith aged 22 Haynes aged 23 Hoskin-Ellliot aged 22

Collingwood have: Crisp aged 22 De Gooey aged 19 Moore aged 19 Elliot aged 23 Adams aged 22 Oxley aged 23 Broomhead aged 21 Langdon aged 21 Grundy aged 21 Treloar aged 22 Aish aged 20

I don't think anyone of those teams can win in a short time but I do think that one team will be able in the future. Richmond have: Connca aged 23 B.Ellis aged 22 Vlaustin aged 21 Lennon aged 20 C.Ellis aged 19 Mcintosh aged 21

It could happen but I can't see Geelong bouncing back like that. There bottom players let them down and they still have quite an old list Enright 34, Lonergan 31, Taylor 29 and Bartel 31 years old. Fremantle have too weak of a spine to make top 4. For example they have FB Dawson/Silvani CHB...
