Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

[FKASC]

Well, now if we pick anyone but Beecken I'll be sad.

Nickname (Zach) all ready to go

 

[Chris_6678]

Geelong Falcons player.

 

[EagleMan87]

I'm sorry but that list of 200cm players is pretty underwhelming. I'd take none of them.

Ben King is second on the Coleman and would be a great pairing with Oscar. Hoping that Archer Reid can do that for us in future.

 

[Chris_6678]

No to Cameron. He is 29/30 so wouldnt really suit us.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

[Yeahnahmate]

No to Cameron. He is 29/30 so wouldnt really suit us.

Far out, 29 out of 30 is actually pretty good.

Also by my maths he’d then only take up 0.97 of a list spot. If we do that enough we might even be able to squeeze in an extra player down the track

 

[briztoon]

I remember this guy in his draft year. Good foot skills out of the backline is definitely a need and fits in the age bracket we're lacking. Sounds most likely to go to one of the SA clubs though

A running mate for Witherden, who he can keep up with.

 

[UseR2006]

The west reporting we have spoken with Ajang Kuol mun from Geelongs VFL. No idea on them at all.

 

[Keys]

Based on nothing but a vibe I think Trey Ruscoe will be on our senior list in about 5 hours time

 

[UseR2006]

Based on nothing but a vibe I think Trey Ruscoe will be on our senior list in about 5 hours time

It's the logical call I think. Hope it goes that way too would be good reward for the work he's done at wafl too

 

[WCEswift]

bloke is a massive ruckman height wise. very raw but very athlletic

 

[WCEswift]

I think most of our umming and ahing here comes from the fact this is clarkes first chance to pick someone here pieman was pretty basic

 

[KBLT]

The west reporting we have spoken with Ajang Kuol mun from Geelongs VFL. No idea on them at all.

206cm ruck, and would be a great story.

I reckon if we pick him the club thinks either BWilliams or Barnett will be out the door by the end of the year.

 

[new breed]

If Richmond don't pick J Scaife and WC do , will be good for the WAFL Eagles in the short term ...added positive.

 

[WCEswift]

206cm ruck, and would be a great story.

I reckon if we pick him the club thinks either BWilliams or Barnett will be out the door by the end of the year.

Or both, jack williams has far exceeded my expectations in his fledgling ruck work

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

I hear this lad is linked to you guys

----

Dashing defender Luke Beecken is a strong chance to have his name called out tonight at the mid season draft. Pace to burn and an excellent, penetrating and creative left foot kick are both attributes tailor made for the modern game.

Kleenex reported a sharp spike in sales in WA since the release of this video

 

[Monocle]

bloke is a massive ruckman height wise. very raw but very athlletic

Whats his age ?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Having checked the poll, I will die if Luke Beecken isn’t an Eagle tonight.

Good to see Jez McClennan doing the rounds as a smoky for the 2024 MSD. Maybe we can trade him straight up for Ryan and Allen?

 

[garlic munchers]

Geelong Falcons player.

Misread as they had spoken to his mum and thought, they must be really serious.

 

[Keys]

Whats his age ?

Article that Chris_6678 linked to above says 21

 

[Astro7]

Ruscoe looks like someone we need to plug n' play right now in the backline.
But Beeken looks alright too.
We have a bunch of forwards and mids coming through, you could say there's a gap in the backline for a pacey attacking player.
Given the MSD is leftovers, do we need to pick up an MSD, or wait till the main draft for top end quality? (asking for a friend )

 

[Cornelius Roy]

There was a session with schoey and Simmo a week or so ago where Simmo made the point that the MSD was taking essentially the last players from the previous draft.

Reckon he was tempering expectations for when we inevitably take Ruscoe instead of scouting best available talent across the whole group.

 

[Chris_6678]

Maybe we promised Trey a spot as a rookie at years end?

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I’d be pretty happy with either of Ruscoe or Beecken, hope it is one from those two. The wider playing group seem to absolutely love Trey as a character so if he gets listed they’ll be getting around him big time. Really top notch team guy from all accounts

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Based on nothing but a vibe I think Trey Ruscoe will be on our senior list in about 5 hours time

I’m torn. I’d rather take a punt on one of the top young prospects in the pool (even though it’s a shallow pool, we still get third crack at it), but I don’t want to lose Ruscoe from our WAFL side.

Even if we’d opened up a second list spot there’s no guarantee he’d last that long with clubs like Brisbane needing plug and play players. But taking him at pick 3 over a Hall or a Hutchinson seems like a waste.

So in conclusion, I’m torn.
