Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[Topiary]

Harley Reid may be worth a bit of coin going forward I would have thought.

We have the coin.

 

[fairdinks]

You don’t go out of your way to target a player, commit to him, get them to nominate you and then not get it done.

agree we will get it done. But if WC are unreasonable. we should not be bent over just to do so. We don't need to go back too far to see the outcome of that scenario - vis Omeara and Wingard. Got bent over on both of those deals and it cost us badly down the track.

 

[Sixpence]

Need to keep in mind that West Coast aren't Fremantle. They're not impossible or unreasonable to deal with. A deal will get done and both clubs will be content.

Commiserations but a fantastic season, probably a year or two ahead of where most thought you’d be. Now that pick 13 is locked in for Hawthorn it will make the other elements of a potential trade for Barrass easier to work through.

We aren’t pricks, as shown by the Brockman trade last year and genuinely think in 5 years both clubs and Barrass will all look back at it as a win.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Really annoyed at this one. He must have some serious iffy vibes for the Hawks to cool on him so much as the year went along because I still think he would be a great fit

It cant be about the $$ because we have plenty and it cant be about the capital required, if you want someone you find a way.

I don't think it's a case of "iffy vibes" I think it's because with our midfield developing the way it has over the course of the year our priorities shifted to bolstering our defence. This also has the flow on effect that it frees up Weddle to play more in middle further reducing any need for Smith.

Don't get me wrong I'd love for us to still go after Smith but happy to accept the club knows better on this.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

The player we need to develop is Bailey Macdonald. With his pace and run and carry traits he could become the second winger we are looking for. He certainly has shown glimpses of his rare skills at Box Hill

I just can't see him getting into our backline unfortunately. Hardwick, Amon, Impey, Mitchell and Frost (if we play Barrass and Frost) would all be ahead of him for a small defender role.

 

[Brant]

WC don’t want Barass gone, that’s why they are playing hardball.

They want to sell him for the highest price they can get.

Not every trade happens that a club and player wants you can walk away if the club who has the player, every player has a price that the buying club thinks the player is worth, and if the selling club asks for twice as much then walk away.

 

[TylerDurden]

Should GWS lose tonight, we'll know Perrymans decision on Monday.

 

[hardway]

They want to sell him for the highest price they can get.

Pick 13 is more than a fair price. The steak knives if needed can be exchange of a 4th round for a 3rd rounder.

 

[mustang]

Should GWS lose tonight, we'll know Perrymans decision on Monday.

Hopefully it's us him and Mass will provide great outside run and make a great wing pair.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Should GWS lose tonight, we'll know Perrymans decision on Monday.

Happy to hard pass on Perryman. He is not the extra class player to go alongside Worps and Nash we need.

 

[triple treat]

I would love to see Weddle there.

I would love to see him at Full forward or CHF

 

[Brant]

HF be pretty interesting. Be easier for him to shake his man & get up the ground a bit.

 

[triple treat]

Plonk him forward and tell him to run and jump at the ball. I reckon he can be as good as Naughton (the good Naughton not the shit one!) Him Chol and dear would makes us a scary ariel threat next year!

 

[Strebi3]

Surprisingly Port winning last night did no favours for them gaining Perryman. I know which coach I’d like to play under

 

[TONYC3163]

Maybe not if he wants to go to Port

Where is this info from?

 

[Topiary]

More than happy with this, just use his hard run.

 

[hfc70]

If Sam wants Perryman - I’m all in

 

[westhawk]

Need to keep in mind that West Coast aren't Fremantle. They're not impossible or unreasonable to deal with. A deal will get done and both clubs will be content.

The manager of Tom will say don’t make this difficult as you can forget about dealing with other players I have in the future. It is in the best interests of the Eagles for this reason. Will Schofield said this exact thing regarding Tom the other day. He said this is exactly what the player manager will do.

Only got to look at West Coast paying 2 picks for Tim Kelly tbh.
