“Watch this space”: Mark Duffield offers Elliot Yeo contract update
“Maybe a little bit of that unfolds in the coming days and weeks.”www.sen.com.au
The star Eagle enters unrestricted free agency this off-season and has been linked with all of Adelaide, North Melbourne, Collingwood and Brisbane.
Are the Eagles that dumb ?

His manager pinky promised the offers of 1.2m a year from Norf were real.
Clubs seem to get spooked and envious of other clubs wanting one of their players no matter who it is.
The other head scratcher is Petty . He's homesick and wanted to go back to SA and even though Melbourne were offered the absolute world and beyond they'd rather him cough it up here every week than give someone what they want.

Sure am envious and spooked over those other teams especially when it’s our players getting poached

It is a true statement that he has been linked with Brisbane. Not necessarily at any point in the last decade, but before that, certainly“Watch this space”: Mark Duffield offers Elliot Yeo contract update

All clubs are that dumb. I'm not excluding ours. We've made some howler re-signings of players as well.

Remember it was straight after he kicked 4 or 6 goals and looked like million bucks playing swing man. Everyone was dazzled by the potential and Demons who are KPF poor were hanging on to him like crazy.
With the emergence of Berry now, I'm the complete opposite, personally.
Don't think Robertson will get that many opportunities as a defensive midfielder with us, and truth be told, not sure he has much more of a ceiling (other than playing week in, week out in the middle).
For Tunstill, I think he potentially has a higher ceiling as a more offensive midfielder.
Right now, Robertson would (IMO) have a higher trade value (based on senior games thus far). Therefore I'd rather extract a bit more (in a trade scenario), and keep the player who may have a higher ceiling.
Considering the influx of midfield depth we're expecting over the next year or so though, this is probably rats and mice in the scheme of things.
How do we get LDU? Loved him in his draft year and would love him at the Lions. Get it done.
If it's about opportunity your right. If it's about holding onto the best depth for the squad then I'm keeping Dev n letting Tunstill go. Berry's return to the midfield in the role he is now playing has become pretty important. And while Berry is playing so well atm, he has been injury prone. Dev is the only one on the list that could come into that role if Berry is injured. We have plenty of offensive midfielders with Will Ashcroft regaining fitness and his brother and Marshall joining us next year, but we don't have another hardnosed, tackling, tagging mid going fwd if Dev goes.

Biggest 1-way running mid in the comp.

Imagine LDU starting in the middle with his back to the goals.
Robertson and Tunstill have about the same trade value, three parts of sfa.
They would be token 5th round pick swaps, just to clear their salary and list position off the books.
West Coast shouldn’t have any interest in either, but if they did, it should be Robertson to come in a play a similar role to what Keays.

Dev should've taken that West Coast deal. Damn it.
Hi All, First post. Looking back it would've been great if we had selected LDU instead of Rayner in the 2017 draft.

Agree with this. In the context of the time Rayner was an important pick for us culturally. A potentially gun Vic kid who wanted to come to a club widely regarded as a basketcase with a depressed fan base. The first sign of light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
Fair enough, but I prefer LDU because he isn't lazy, he can read the play, he can run and he always gives 100%

I like LDU, but don't think he's the type of midfielder we really need at the moment. Wasn't really a great top 5 in hindsight.
I think LDU career would thrive in the right surrounds at a strong club and his football capabilities would become elite.
