Reading between the lines, it'll be Mitch Lewis.

What lines?

Ignoring that his wife plays netball in Brisbane, I just saw Treloar at carina. Treloar to Brisbane confirmed.

His wife has retired

Interesting (albeit now irrelevant) little tidbit:

Yeah he clearly was promised by Freo that they'd take him as a F/S pick at the national draft if he didn't nominate for the MSD. I don't think it's a big miss for us though, we already have plenty of young third tall forwards, and Carr has arms like twigs, he has a huge amount of filling out to do.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Mitch Lewis comes back for the last 4 games of the season, first ones a blinder, sits on the fence in another then comes to Brisbane

I've seen this work before

Don't think he'll retire in 2026 after we complete the three-pete though.

he will be contracted beyond next year though right? I personally thought it would be him as the most likely of likely outcomes but then I find it hard to think he would leave the Hawks who are playing exciting football and certainly will be in that premiership window over the next 5-8 years. hard to see how anyone would leave that environment unless it's just down to money.

edit: contracted to end of 2026. So we would need to trade for a contracted key forward. can't see how we can have the draft capital to get it done. unless he does another knee...

I honestly don't think he's shown much to be considered the great pick up that Barrett and Fish are talking about

I’ve heard from a couple of people claiming to have loose connections to him and the club, that it’s Oscar Allen

I personally would be shocked, but if he hasn’t signed by mid year, I might start to believe it’s a possibility.

Interesting that he hasn’t signed yet, local kid, skipper.. surely it should just be a formality as Harris would be with us?

Oscar Allen and Mitch Lewis will be a formidable combo.

This is the first time I have seen a report of knowledge about a player.

Everything else has been pure speculation, including my posts.

Plus you claim to have heard it from a couple of people with connections.

Very interesting.

In WA they work in a fish bowl and it's not for everyone.

 

[SizeMatters]

maybe he's sick of the 10 hour round trip commute every second week. **** living in WA to play footy.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Plus a very good chance of a flag.

would cost an arm and a leg. Clubs don't give up their captains for nothing (serious issues like Carey aside).

Interestingly, Allen and Lewis are very similar for games played/goals kicked (Lewis averages 1.8, Allen 1.5). Given that Lewis would presumably require less outlay, I'd be happy enough if it were to be him.

Allen is a free agent. Hypothetically, they finish last next year. Pick 2 for Allen would be a pretty bloody good result for them considering he is 26 next year and unlikely to be around for their next tilt at success. Particularly with the expansion of Tassy diluting a few drafts.

I don’t think it’s as unlikely as some might think

We like our free agents too. Bump the pay up to the level they get a second top 5 pick and they'll be happy too.

Only problem is they'll struggle to re-sign Harley if they keep letting leaders go. Barass (VC) this year and Allen next year would paint a bleak picture.

Mmm...didn't Yeo go to the Eagles when we were at our lowest ebb during the GH5 era.

But he's a Restricted Free Agent, so they can match if they want to keep him. And their plan seems to be getting (and keeping) good veterans in to ensure Harley Reid doesn't decide to leave, which is the only logic I can attribute to them trading out of pick 3 in order to get Liam Baker. So I think they'd actually prefer to match him than get pick 2 next year. And they probably won't finish last anyway because Richmond will be worse.

The tiger supporters will be in a world of pain for the next two to three years until the new recruits develop and become AFL standard players. If they get their recruiting right their trajectory could be the same as the Lions, Hawks or GWS which bodes well for the future. If you want to bottom out this is the time to do it as we don’t know what concessions Tasmania will get and how long these concessions will be granted.

Good point. Whilst there aren't too many examples, like Johnny has said, WCE always a chance of matching.

I just don't see it being Allen given there are a lot of perks to being a one club, WCE captain in Perth into retirement. It would be a huge call to leave - I guess part of it depends on how far off he thinks the Eagles are from being competitive again.

 

[Nunez]

The only way I see Allen happening is if he wants to join us and Starce the Eagles.

Why would it be dependent on starce? If he wanted out and west coast wanted to keep both then they'd try to keep Allen

Currency. If Allen wants to come and Starce signs, it's unlikely we'll have adequate currency for Allen. If both want to move, I could see Starce + future first getting it done.

So neither player moves via free agency?

I'd think that pick 2 could be appealing to them as FA compo.
