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

[ArdentEagle]

Yea hopefully but he is settled in Sydney so lets hope Flynn can convince him
He is due back from injury in 3 weeks so will see how he comes back and if he gets back in the team straight away

Have you heard about Perryman too? Love us to have a crack at him as well.

 

[ArdentEagle]

It's hard to see a spot for Darling once OA is back.

IMO, it's time for a forward paradigm shift. BEagles leader/break glass in case of emergency.
Play the younger guys with Waterman and OA as the centrepieces.

 

[Wild Kelly]

I'll ask him on Sunday if his height has changed this year.

Can you ask him his weight while you're at it? Can't find it anywhere.....

Maric and Darling with duking it out. I think Darling can easily have Maric number

Relocated to Sydney and is now in the Swans academy.

Surely that’s a pisstake

If the northern clubs are going to be allowed to relocate players from interstate into their academies it’s time to shut the ****ing things down

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

vAFL don’t give a shit.

They refuse to move on any priorities with urgency.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Laura Kane on SEN an hour ago.

Re...NGA FS

Was asked about time line.

"About 2 months away"

SEN guys responded "so not likely this year"

Kaen "not at all, clubs are on notice it may happen this year"

Good. The right decision for once.

Laura Kane intimated today that the clubs are on notice that changes may very well happen this year to NGA and FS. Her tone was quite revealing that it is more likely this year.

English is soft. Glad we apparently don't have much interest anymore

“I find that bewildering:” Shock and confusion with change on the cards for 2024 draft system

“Weak as piss” as barrassi would say.

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

Twelve months talking about it, decision still two months away…..

Just make a decision and get on with it.

 

[JackOutback]

I hear you mate but I'd cut others first.


Out
Gaff
Sheed (pay-out - trade token pick)
L.Edwards
Z.Trew
J.Rotham
J.Baker
T.Cole (Trade)
JJ (last cut depending on FA/RFA/Draft pick ups)

As I said, tough or bold calls. Cole is a bold call, but I don’t hate it. Not sure there’d be many suitors, at least not offering much. Sheed does look done but I suspect we’re not cancelling contracts early. My hope would be a break glass in case of emergency mature body.

LOL.. What is bewildering is that it has taken so called football professionals this long to realise the whole system is a piss take.

This issue has been a decade in the making with first GWS banking top 10 pick after top 10 pick only to keep selling them on the cheap back to big vic clubs, and now Gold Coast banking picks year after year to build a war chest for top draftees they only have access to.

As with all things AFL, they only react when it becomes so ****ing obvious that even their usual obliviousness can no longer be an excuse. Now we should just let the whole shitshow of a system go for one more year, good one Sen.

I for one look forward to the next system which will no doubt show yet again how inept the AFL is at running a truly national competition.

 

[eaglevision]

Busslinger 15K 8H 9M in VFL loss to the Swans, barely saw any of the game so can’t comment on how good the possessions were but the Dogs certainly looked undersized.

 

[JohnW]

Might need a 3rd rounder for Malakai after all. Flip of the coin with Ralph.

I can't understand why it hasn't simply been you need to match a selection by using a pick in the same round. Fo

100%. Total BS saying what about the clubs planning for this draft and matchnng bids.

Well you still can people. It just wont be at the ridiculous discounts that clubs have rorted year after year.

Clubs still get their player. They just dont get to double dip and trade in good future picks and pay for top talent with crappy later picks.

Everyone pays closer to fair market value. Starting now.

How can anyone defend one more year of rorting an obvious unfair system.

Let’s just say it was terrible game I think. pathetic. Barely saw it. He should be delisted.

 

[Shueygod]

Give it up, just looking silly now.

26 disposals and 1 goal.

Sharp would walk into our side.

This is what Sharp looks like in a poor team by the way, he’s the softest player in the league.

Dogs didn't need him to demolish freo . Can't see many changes to their team

With naughton and Darcy due back soon I think buss might have missed his chance

Initially that’s how it was set up but then Sydney got Isaac Heeney who was top 3 on talent in his draft year (2014) by using their R1 pick which was 18 since they made the GF that year

Then the points system was brought in the following year when they got Callum Mills at pick 3 after trading down from pick 14 to get sufficient points with a bunch of picks in the 30’s and 40’s

What needs to happen is to set the points up correctly so that clubs pay fair value. Even if it means having to trade up to get sufficient points

Clubs are shocked it could happen this off season ? The afl were talking about changes last off season .

The only clubs pissed off have high father/son or academy picks

There should also be no % discount.

Priority access is your reward .

You forgot your emojo.

You know, you could have just rolled with the tongue in cheek stuff.

Where did Ashcroft and Hodge immigrate from again?

You mean the QLD born and bred Ashcrofts?

Immigrated from the Gold Coast academy.

And Blakey at the Swans?

Blakey considers himself a new south welshman. He said, when he nominated the Swans, that he wanted to stay home, similar to Murphy years ago, when he said he didn't want to nominate Brisbane as a father son, as he wanted to stay in Melbourne.

Born in Melbourne, left at 2 and then lived in Brisbane until 6, then grew up in NSW.
