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

Need to wait for Gossage to end the speculation by confirming it

 

[HoneyBadger35]

He's a flash in pan, goes missing a lot and then has no discipline. He can't and won't ever go into the midfield full time. Just another liam Ryan. So, if we do trade Ryan out then use that pick for Pickett. But no giving off any round one picks for him. We need consistant ball winning mids and need to draft 2 of them this draft.

Pickett debuted in the Covid shortened season. He’s played four regular length seasons.

All four have resulted in more goals than Ryan’s best season. Pickett’s worst full season was 36 goals. Ryan’s best ever? 30 goals.

Ryan’s best six seasons combined? 132 goals. Pickett’s worst four seasons (including Covid) combined? 120 goals.

To put it mildly, he is every bit as good as Liam Ryan’s All Australian season, has been more durable, and far more consistent over a period of years. And in 2025, with this version of Ryan? Not even close.

 

[Goroyals22]

If he wants to come home and Baker nominates us I’m pretty confident he’ll be coming too and yes he nominated a 6 month contract, not an 18 month contract.

Hutch and Blight have shown to be the best two picks from that draft IMO.

Logan Evans is by far the best from that draft so far.

WCE_phil or BOND 007 I know it's early days but have the Eagles given Matt Clarke a free run to take ownership of the list when it comes to delistings and trades? Or Is Pyke also taking an interest in the list and wanting to have the final say?
I know in the past it has been mentioned that Trevor Nisbett was a micromanager. I would be keen to get both of your thoughts on whether Pyke is difference in this regard? I also would like to know with whom my frustrations should lie with if the trade and draft season does not go exactly as per my dreamt up scenario

 

[Big_Birdy]

Does Draper go to Pembroke by any chance?

Loading…

Considering he plays for South Adelaide I would say very unlikely.

EDIT: Local football club Willunga. Doubly unlikely.

I'm not stalking on the kid any more than that.

That was lazy posting by me. They are the best two prospects from the MSD.

Hold up, as far as I can see, is the only source for this Pickett--WCE stuff Tom Morris seemingly guessing us?

Seems like no point even thinking much about it yet.

Whilst I agreed earlier turns out he is apparently pretty good with Dees stuff.

 

[Obeanie1]

Pickett & 5

Waterman (and we pay his current contracted salary) & 23

That's how you destroy culture IMO.

Pushing out an emerging top line tall forward. Father son who refused to speak with any other clubs and wants to stay.

Has a great attitude and work ethic.

For Kosi Pickett. Who I question from a character quality point of view.

Quality tall forward v quality small forward.

I don’t like Tom Morris at all. Comes across as a slimy little campaigner

That said, he does seem to have good sources and a lot of what he’s said has been on the money of late

So there’s a good chance Pickett might prefer to join us but there’s a hell of a lot of water to go under the bridge before that becomes a reality

Lets face facts too. We could offer him $1M more than Freo next year and not even affect our cap.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

See the thing about Kozzie Pickett is he's actually very bad at football and all of those things I said earlier were just a joke.

 

[flyinghi64]

man this is going to be a looong off season

For who?
Richmond or Melbourne?

Oh you mean us

Serong, Jackson, Darcy, Cox, Ryan, Young, with Brayshaw due a new deal. Plus the two young KPFs. Possibly others I've forgotten.

Plus Bolton, plus Pickett.

Scary lineup, also nfi how it'd fit under the cap.

 

[ep2018]

Honestly thank god. Would cost way too much and we have more pressing needs.

 

[amazingjoshy]

There's one compo pick already

Would completely rule them out of Warner

Freo are chasing for positional need and expect at least 1 player out via trade.

They also seem to have no issue in burning potential players coming in and sending them back to their original club.

With Freo it's best to think of certains players being a redundacy if trade 1 doesn't happen, trade 2 doesn't happen etc.

Every time you win a game Bailey Banfield gifts you with a pair of pearl earrings

Surprised he went really.

we wont tell anyone.

Me I am a fan of collegiate decision making

 

[pantskyle]

Pickett crap anyway.

 

[Spod]

Good luck Freo stumping up for both Pickett and Bolton. Might let us get Baker for less at least.
