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

National Recruiting Manager Duane Massey says: “Jack is playing as a 190cm forward, can really mark it, has got really good speed and is very compliant in the Collingwood system. We’re scoping that he could play wing and maybe even across half-back, so we think he’s got flexibility in his game to play a few different roles. We really like his talent.”

I for one welcome our new Mid Season Draft Saviour Jai Culley Ryan Maric Jack Hutchinson!

, hence the name.

 

[archiemoses]

We clearly drafted for upside. Not disappointed with the result!

 

[DanWCE]

We are gathering a bevy of Jacks. Have to get creative with nick names.

Who is the best Jack?

We'll have to have a Jack off to find out

 

[MrKennedy17]

So Hutchinson is a Ryan/Cripps/Culley/Maric/Petch type. Would remove this type of player "IF" he gets a game.

It's even a WATERMAN 4th tall Role type.

type wingman if we decide to develop him in that role.

 

[Off Tap]

Geordie Payne looked like his number just got called out for the Vietnam Draft, not the AFL Draft.

 

[mat11]

Simmo must've really loved carey to keep drafting all these key forwards

 

[UseR2006]

The best news is Ruscoe survives and stays with the Beagles.
Should hopefully get rookied at the end of the year.

 

[JADED]

Damn. Ned Long is back in the league.
Sorry Noah.

 

[Bender_]

As far as I'm concerned our pick isn't legitimate until Phil takes a giant shit on whatever kid we've chosen.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Could be a Mason Wood type wingman if we decide to develop him in that role.

I think we should go for more of an Anthony Koutoufides, and if we end up with Mason Wood, we’ll at least have something.

 

[UseR2006]

Damn. Ned Long is back in the league.
Sorry Noah.

BT already calling him Noah.

 

[eaglevision]

Holy ****. Compare Maric reaction to Payne is night and day

Anyone else see Clarko in the background making a throat slitting gesture on the Geordie Payne live stream?

 

[Bender_]

Anyone else see Clarko in the background making a throat slitting gesture on the Geordie Payne live stream?

Yeah but that was directed at a group of umpires he had made eye contact with off-screen.

 

[squashface]

Anyone else see Clarko in the background making a throat slitting gesture on the Geordie Payne live stream?

Calls him Geords

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

So we picked up Hutchinson and keep Ruscoe? Sounds like a pretty bloody good outcome to me.

Hopefully we upgrade Ruscoe at the end of the year, he deserves to be on a list.

 

[MeltMan]

Scafoe scalfoe goes to a legit organisation i hawks. At least this poor tassie kid only has to wait until his state team arrives.

 

[Wce17]

Did we sign Hutchinson on an 18 month contract?

 

[Seadog]

We’re scoping that he could play wing and maybe even across half-back, so we think he’s got flexibility in his game to play a few different roles. We really like his talent.”

If we wanted a half back I'd be inclined to draft a................half back. I could see him playing on a wing I spose.

Classic Eagles, drafting a half forward to be a wing or half back. After spending about a decade drafting half backs to be midfielders.

His stats at VFL level are thoroughly underwhelming.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

This is such a bizarre pick. We’ve have so many mid size talls. We’re crying for back man and we end up with another forward

None of these guys were taken among the 64 national draft picks last year and have only played half a season of footy since then. It’s not like we are talking about anything close to elite talent here. Unless you are a club contending for a flag, you just take a 19 year old who you think might be a solid contributor down the track.

 

[Hoskin300]

If we wanted a half back I'd be inclined to draft a................half back. I could see him playing on a wing I spose.

Yeah it’s ridiculous.

 

[Monocle]

Did we sign Hutchinson on an 18 month contract?

Yes.

 

[ArdentEagle]

That mark in his highlight package is a ripper.
