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

No interest in Guelfi

Turns 27 this year and hasn’t managed to cement a spot at Essendon after 7 years on their list

Rather persist with Petch whilst Long, Rawlinson, Brockman and Dewar develop plus Champion in this years draft with any luck

Also I’m assuming the pick 39 proposed trade is supposed to be our R3 pick which we don’t have as we traded it to Richmond. Pick 39 is also more than we traded for Brockman

 

[Lia]

Guelfi lol

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Sheldrick can't get a game in a swans midfield missing Mills, Parker and Adams

Word on the swans board is he is a beast on the inside but offers nothing outside of the contest .
Longmire wants him to develop other parts of his game like running patterns / 2 way running .
So in summary he is a liability when the ball is in motion or as we like to call it on this board priddis syndrome

Essendon fan proposing Guelfi to West Coast for pick 39. Is it a good deal?

They can keep him

Ginby mark 2??

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Ginby mark 2??

To be a beast on the inside Ginbey needs to actually get his hands on the ball

ehhh
If we are going to trade pick 39 id rather go for a bigger mid who cant get regular opportunities or as part of a package for someone we really want. i think we are ok for medium forwards right now

 

[WA footy mad]

Essendon would have to give us there 1st pick before we would take Guelfi & we hand them pick 200

 

[eaglevision]

I sincerely hope we aren’t seriously considering trading for any 27yo at our stage of a list build… 26+ should be via free agency only IMO.

Sheldrick chat on Swans board is a bit harsh, both him and Warner OOC end of next year, I’d be keen to go to the Swans with an initial offer of F1 and R2 for both of them depending on Sheldrick’s output.

 

[Farang83150]

So 10 of the top 30 are likely to be off the table? And then there will be compo picks and perhaps a priority pick. So 1st pick on Night 2 is likely to be in the 30s again.
Admittedly the top 30 will change dramatically by November but what a farce the draft has become.

No it's not a farce, according to the AFL/Nth Melb lady it's.... complicated!

I Would rather give that pick 39 to your mob for nothing then have Guelfi on the list

By how much did Clarke pip you by for our list manager?

 

[stylish]

Wat

Just watching Sydney tonight I hope the Dorkers waste a couple of their high draft picks on Logan MacDonald . He’s a spud!!

Watch Freo end up offering their 2 highest 1st round picks for him for Sydney to offer the lowest of them to the Doggies for JUH.

It would be so Sydney to swap MacDonald for Ugle Hagen and end up with a high end 1st round pick for the privilege.

Sheldrick is gettable and probably could come cheap.

Warner.....Sydney will play hardball, its better to wait until he if RFA/UFA.

Agreed. We have an excellent trading relationship with Sydney and if we have the PSD threat it will be an interesting watch. If Warner wants to sign a two year deal through to FA with Sydney then that’s my preference too but if he’s looking for a 6-8 year contract then it would be now or never.

 

[eaglevision]

Little Buss mention tucked away at the bottom of a Ralph HUN article. First time I’ve read his name in a contract (or any really) article. Hopefully money, years and the chance to return home at the front of the queue talks…

If Warner keeps playing how he did last night then he's worth a top ten pick plus a late R1

 

[Selurs]

He was dead average for the first three quarters. As a comparison Sydney traded out Jordan Dawson after his sixth season with them for a future first tied to the (then) raining premier, don't see Warner being more valuable than him.

 

[Obeanie1]

Watching Chad Warner in the last quarter last night, he was the difference when game was on the line.

Still irks me that we gave up so much for Kelly, just needed to keep that pick 38 which is exactly where Warner went. Although I'm not confident we would've taken him there.

Would love to get him on our list, tough, good ball use, runner, defensive pressure.

He is IMO the only top shelf player we should trade for in the next two seasons who realisticly may be interested.

The power of the PSD in play there.

Plain to see.

And so many posters still feel the PSD is a hollow threat that never happens. It rarely happens because clubs do take the threat seriously and accept unders.

Wow. Interesting.

Well hopefully he has that part of his game sorted just as we pick him up cheap.

Horse does have a bit of a history of pigeon holing certain players who end up leaving and becoming guns

Dawson hadn’t shown anywhere near as much (albeit without the opportunity) at Sydney, as he has at Adelaide. And he was returning home for family reasons (pretty sure he had a sick parent).

 

[Obeanie1]

Ahhhh what a lovely day.

Just looked at the Brisbane game review thread. Key take outs.

No Coleman no Ashcroft no flag.

Fagan doesnt have it.

Why do we keep picking the same old players who let us down.

We have wasted our window which will start closing in 1 to 2 years (my personal favourite so far)

Oh and Starcevich will make a good VFL player one day.......

And we dont get to play this weekend. Lol.

This Round Zero is starting to grow on me as a concept.
