Eagles still unsure of trading No.1 pick?

AFL: The Eagles are insisting they are still likely to retain the number one pick in this year's draft despite consistent rumours they will trade the pick to North Melbourne.

West Coast wants to take Tongala prodigy Harley Reid with the first pick in the national draft unless North Melbourne is prepared to swap picks 2 and 3.
The Eagles have settled on Reid as their clear top target and were left impressed by his interview at the draft combine last week, with some likening his presence to Hawthorn champion Luke Hodge.
North Melbourne received pick 3 as free agency compensation for the departure of full-back Ben McKay to Essendon on Tuesday, giving the Roos a huge arsenal of draft picks, including 2, 3, 15 and 21 to strike a deal with West Coast.
But any hopes the Roos had of securing pick 1 have taken a hit as the Eagles look unlikely to cough it up unless North hands over picks 2 and 3 in return, setting a high bar for one of the biggest trades of the post-season.
That asking price could be too steep for the Kangaroos, who are believed to be looking at line-breaking left-footer Colby McKercher at pick 2 and dangerous goalkicking midfielder Zane Duursma at pick 3, according to recruiters.
It means Hawthorn could snare speedy small forward Nick Watson at pick 4, the Western Bulldogs snap up jet midfielder Ryley Sanders at pick 5, and Melbourne could look at forward Nate Caddy or key defender Daniel Curtin at pick 6.
There is a belief Western Australian Curtin could be sliding down clubs’ draft orders, meaning the Giants face the prospect of landing Curtin if he falls as far as pick 7.

Another option is for North Melbourne to acquire pick 11 in a trade with Gold Coast and offer West Coast picks 2, 11 and a future first-round pick for pick 1, but that still may not be enough to satisfy the Eagles.
Recruiting sources on Tuesday said it seemed likely West Coast would keep pick 1 rather than trade it out, unless North parted with picks 2 and 3 in one of the biggest pick swaps in AFL trade history.

The Kangaroos have four picks inside the top 21 selections to help strike a deal with West Coast after the free agency compensation for McKay went through as expected on Tuesday morning.
The Roos also have three future picks (from next year) to deal out as part of the AFL’s draft assistance package.
North did not match Essendon’s offer to McKay, which is believed to be less than $800,000 a year. The compensation selection is a reward for the way the Roos have handled McKay’s situation this year, delaying on offering the defender a new deal.

Pick 3 as free agency compensation is a massive boost for North Melbourne, which could have one of the most talented lists in the competition in a few years following several drafts loading up on high-end talent.
However, clubs are certain North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson would love Reid, who is a powerful goalkicker and dominant forward-half ball-winner in the same mould as Dustin Martin.
The Eagles want to take Reid in the belief he is a generational talent and someone they could not pass up after two years down the bottom of the ladder.
Reid told the Eagles he would have no problems moving interstate to play AFL.
North Melbourne already has a stack of first-round players in the engine room including brilliant ballwinners Harry Sheezel, who won a best and fairest in his first year, hard nut George Wardlaw, Luke Davies-Uniacke, pick three Will Phillips, slick prime mover Tarryn Thomas and goal kicker Jaidyn Stephenson.
Plus there are high hopes for knee victim Brayden George, who the Roos took at pick 26 last year.
If west coast want 2 and 3 for pick 1 , we take our picks to the draft.
 
I don't care if its made up, I'm sick of the media proposing trades where we get bent over and reamed (no vas).
Do you seriously think they would be propsing this short of s**t if it was collingwood in our shoes?
This is one of the better articles on the topic though. Outlining clearly that it's a ****ing steep asking price

It’s also Jay Clarke, so I won’t believe anything he says until someone else says it. campaigner is notorious for making shit up however if I was WC I’d be asking for 2 and 3 as well. It’s actually not hard a thing to guess at
 
"The opportunity that has presented itself at Essendon is something I'm very grateful for," McKay said.

"With Brad working hard to create a world-class football program, it's something that I really want to be a part of and contribute strongly to, in the pursuit of taking this proud and powerful club back to where it belongs.

"I'm eager to play alongside and work with guys like Jordan Ridley, Andy McGrath, Mason Redman and Jayden Laverde in the backline, as well as working under coaches such as Daniel Giansiracusa, Blake Caracella and Dale Tapping."

He was never really that invested with us. He just wants to play at a so called “big” club like his brother. Brad Scott’s world class football program? Good luck with that lol
 
Mark Finnigan is involved is giving up pick 19 for ccj to Rich, Will Thursfield is involved in reaming North for ccj. Mark Finnigan goes to Hawfs and is involved to offer mckay more that Essendon did to trigger band 1 then offers Chol up to 5 years. Will Thursfield is involved in only offering pick 42* (so far) for Fisher then for Stephens. images - 2023-10-10T154017.674.jpeg

Glad he is finally gone....what a tosser.
 
I liked Ben McKay as a player
So did I as a youngster, but it started to wane when it became apparent that he doesn't really have any football skills. He's just a big guy. Hopefully for Essendon's sake I'm wrong, but I think we've done well.

Barts really is a great salesman. Not so much coach or list manager though.

I remember when Buckets sooked about having to go to Arizona as part of the world class football program Brad was building.
 
LDU, Wardlaw, Thomas, Sheezel and Reid is a disgusting amount of A grade midfield talent for one side to have.

I don't know what the best outcome is but my favourite is Reid and Watson.

Do you think Reid has the tank to play midfield at AFL level? I feel that McKercher is a better genuine midfielder personally.

Reid seems more like a Cam Rayner except he can play both forward and back.
