I feel bringing in Warner turns the Eagles into the next version of Essendon, a club that spends 5+ years finishing 7th to 12th. There's still a lot of holes on their list, their rebuild is just starting.
Unbelievable that they've been bottom 3 for 3 consecutive years and have 1 x top 10 picks as a result.
Missed the finals for 4 seasons now but they actually have 2 x top 10 picks on their list, till Harley leaves.

Indeed, the Richmond v WC rebuilds are going to be a really interesting case study.
Purely from a supporters POV, I I think I’d rather be watching the team fully stocked with young emerging talent each week vs the team with a couple of A listers and not much underneath..

I think successful clubs get away with rebuilds a lot easier.
They have ex players coming through setting the standards, supporters will live off the previous premierships for years.
There is also little pressure when it comes to cash, as they have large membership bases and cash reserves.
I think Richmond will do well, but not sure St Kilda could pull it off.
Even Essendon would struggle due to there poor run.
Will be interesting too what eagles do with their captain. Surely a top 5 pick is too much to pass up
TBH given the current contract I’d be hoping the Dees wouldn’t accept 2 picks around 15-20.
I'd definitely take either of Warner or Pickett. Either would be a great addition.
But in my dream world I hope someone replicates, or indicates the ability, to step up like Treacy did last year. We went from serious interest in MacDonald to walking away. Love it.
Bolton will directly improve our forward line but I think indirectly he can help bring improvement to Sturt and Frederick.
I am also optimistic Simpson rises and that Murphy could debut in a forward half role.

Reckon you should ask Adelaide supporters their view. Biggest club in SA similar supporter set to Eagles, have been lost in the wilderness for a decade.
Eagles supporters and most people just assume eagles will be back up and contending in a couple of years. If they go 6 years without finals, supporters and media’s patience will be tested.
They're probably all still jerking each other off over the Kelly trade and think it was a huge success.
I reckon if Chad isn't in Purple next year, he won't be in blue and gold either.
I'd be more convinced he ends up wearing something like black and white.
Applecross clearly a strategic choice for the commute to Cockburn...or Lathlain?
the Threepeat will wash away all sins!
So elite players should play for less than their true worth while everyone else is paid their full value and some even more?
Doesn’t work like that I’m afraid.
Pav was worth every cent he was paid. If anything he should have been paid a lot more.
I come from Adelaide, and know lots of crows supporters. Adelaide's recruitment has been shocking, it is only because they traded in Dawson, Rankine, and co they are half decent. (That is their issue)
I would take 6 years out of the finals, if you have a young and promising list (especially after a flag) with the knowledge your next final appearance is not too far way. You just need to make sure you nail your picks, and if possible, get extra picks.
I think it is worst to be stuck in the middle. Not getting top 3 picks, not finishing top 4.
Yeah Crows supporters are well and truly over it, but they also did not try to trade out players to get more draft picks, and then to make it worse, they have missed so many top 10 picks.
Between Lever and Thilthorpe, they have 4 bad picks and 1 pass in Fogarty who is a late developer. This is their issue.
Their picks are Thilthorpe look a bit better, but they don't have a genuine A Grade from the draft.
| National Draft pick 17 | Max Michalanney |
| National Draft pick 6 | Josh Rachele |
| National Draft pick 2 | Riley Thilthorpe |
| National Draft pick 11 | Luke Pedlar |
| National Draft pick 6 | Fischer McAsey |
| National Draft pick 9 | Chayce Jones |
| National Draft pick 12 | Darcy Fogarty |
| National Draft pick 15 | Jordan Gallucci |
| National Draft pick 11 | Wayne Milera |
| National Draft pick 14 | Jake Lever |

Travelling south will be against traffic in the mornings, so he'll get to Cockburn quicker than Lathlain from there.

Which club Chad chooses really comes down to what he wants.
Big fat pay - West Coast.
Primed list ready for a crack at a maiden premiership - Us
He wont get chump change if he comes to Freo, he just won't get a godfather offer.

I can’t see us getting Pickett and Warner. Salary cap and trade pieces - unless we trade out a big name.
From what I understand (and have heard) WC are very much the front runner for his services next year.

Are you high? We had just traded out Lachie Schultz and Liam Henry and had 3 first round picks. I'm not sure we could have had a better hand to chase Shai.
My point was we had the space after trading out Liam and Lachie, and we had some currency with 3 firsts (even if they are late), it was more than any club could reasonably be expected to have unless they are having a fire sale like the Tiges, or a shiny new expansion team.
