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

Actually he reminds me a bit of Maric

Reminds me of Judd

We obviously don't want the Pies to win the Vfl flag

Some of their fans are salty they didn't have priority access to him and other players on their VFL list lmao.

My comparison to Maric was the way he gets around the ground in those small highlights.

A number of posters on the North board already laying into Payne’s reaction. Pure gold.

 

[Hoskin300]

You're arguing 2 different things

The players i listed were in response to



If youre simply just bagging the talent available in the MSD, how the hell does it not make sense to just grab the guy we think has the most talent, regardless of position?

Because we have absolutely no idea who has the most talent. It’s all pure gambling. We are comparing players in completely different leagues at completely different ages.

The only real certainty is what role they are likely to play at AFL level.

Maric replacement you say?

 

[Keys]

Have to say this comment really pi**ed me off when Hopkins and Beecken were available. Instead we’re going to try and turn a 22yo HFF with a good mark into a HBF!?

Beecken wasn’t taken until pick 17 by Brisbane and Hopkins went undrafted so it wasn’t just our recruiters who passed on that pair

Suspect we’ve just taken best available rather than positional needs as any player taken in the MSD is going to have deficiencies in their game

We get 18 months to look at him in an AFL system to see if he’s any good

And at 22 he’s in an age bracket we lack on our list

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Not excited at all to be going to North lmao

If he was genuinely upset about being drafted by North then I’d say that is a pretty ordinary attitude. Sure North is a dumpster fire, but this isn’t a Harley Reid talent we are talking about, it’s a kid who was passed over by every club in the comp a few months ago. Now he gets to be on an AFL list and make about $100k a year playing professional footy, which is pretty good coin for a 19 year old, and if he plays well and actually wants to leave North he will be in high demand.

I mean the Eagles have been hot garbage the past two years, especially 2023, but neither Maric nor Culley seemed anything other than ecstatic to get a chance at AFL, even if it meant moving across the country.

These are all fair comments, just felt having a look at Beecken or preferably Hopkins for 6 months to play a role we absolutely lack would have been the best use of the MSD for us. Still think Hopkins will find his way onto an AFL list.

In saying that our recruiters clearly rated Jack as the best available talent and I hope he has a long and distinguished career as an Eagle. He’s come to the club at a very exciting time.

Make sure your vaccines are up to date and take some loose change.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

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

I knew there’d still be melts.

 

[Farang83150]

If the Eagles were smart they'd be packaging up pick 3 in the MSD with a trade deal with Sydney for Warner and McDonald. Hopefully they're onto it.

As i was scrolling the page i'm just like "oh noooo, he made his own site for himself.... and describes himself in the third person... oooof"

A very savvy selection on our part -
a country boy
has lived in Perth before so knows the ropes
lots of upside and development ahead of him

Very happy with the selection. And you can never have too many Jacks.

It’s like he had to make a website about his hobbies for a school project and then enjoyed it so much he thought he’d market himself a bit

Johnston’s from bayside Melb I think

Played for the same club as Archer Reid so they should know each other.

An exciting, powerful explosive medium forward who has become a highlights reel in the VFL this season. Was recruited to Collingwood's VFL team this season after playing from Wonthaggi,

Looks like he could be a rich mans Harley

[Bacchus]

But what is Jack Hutchy’s weight? Can’t find it anywhere on the internet.

I assume from the look of him somewhere between 80-90 kg but it would be interesting to know.
