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

[CountryLad]

Not completely, I've been pushing him. I'll claim him as my boy.

I meant under the radar in here but I’m happy if you want to claim him

 

[noobermensch]

I'll end up claiming half the pool at this rate.

 

[CountryLad]

Long way to go but not rated in ESPNs or
rookie me top 25 rankings

That doesn’t mean much he will be in round one conversations after a very solid champs to date.

 

[noobermensch]

I had him floating just outside the top 10, but a poster who has the full pre-season testing numbers posted his results which were very disappointing (apart from a solid yoyo test). Weak 20m sprint and agility tests. I think this is the reason many aren't jumping on Langford as a sure fire first rounder.

 

[eaglevision]

He’s quality and gone completely under the radar

Not completely, I've been pushing him. I'll claim him as my boy.

Harrison Oliver 181cm Sandringham and Harry Charleson 182cm Rebels are two others who haven’t been mentioned much either who would be mid 2R picks that fill a dire need for us.

 

[ziad]

so can we swap pick 2 or 3 for another Ginbey? Please dont.

Yeah had heard he had some poor results. He doesn’t look overly athletic but he works hard and keeps getting it. Pretty good mark and has a penetrating left leg.

Has been very impressive for Vic Country would have to be the favourite currently for there MVP.

 

[Elite Pete]

Agreed doesn’t mean much atm but they are pretty up to date rankings. Wait for Cals November one I guess….

Dire needs.

Mids with speed and class.

Backman with balls and who can stick a friggin tackle.

I think if we get FOS or Sid we will play them off half back next year.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Wish Lombard was not a academy pick would be perfect for us

The very reason I would have no problems calling his name out on draft night if we hold pick 2 or 3. I expect the Suns to match but in the event they think it is too high, we get a very useful midfielder to add to Reid, Ginbey, Hewett, et al

It would not be a spiteful bid, it is fully justified.

I don't know what's justified about taking someone who will likely go in the teens at pick 2/3

It’s also a fantastic opportunity for a huge trade with GCS, was it Barra that also said Liam Ryan has interest from/in the QLD clubs?

You rate Lombard in the teens. There again, I find my valuations this far out too often differ with you.

No drama - we see the game differently

 

[TerryFilk]

If we finish in the bottom 2 again and only win one more game for the season, that would put us at 9 wins over the last 3 seasons, North got priority picks when that happened to them.

Hopefully we at least ask, would be handy to get two end of round 1sts that we have to trade, would solve the Baker issue.

How do you rate Lombard in the teens. He’s been outstanding.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

I’ll cop some heat, but believe he looks better the Ginbey. Natural footballer, not quite the same athletic profile, but he’s not a slow inside mid.

Who ****in asked you!!!

 

[InTheWings]

John Ralph thinks we should split our first round pick for Baker and another first round pick

So Baker for a high first round pick

That’s sick give us a break

Ralph is a Richmond supporter. Doing the best he can to get Richmond good draft picks I reckon.

 

[Elite Pete]

Yeah a Possible split with…… Richmond if they get the rumoured picks for Dan Rioli.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Probably a size thing. It's really the only thing he has going against him.

 

[Elite Pete]

Ralph is a Richmond supporter. Doing the best he can to get Richmond good draft picks I reckon.

He also had North trading their first pick (possibly pick 1) to Richmond for Noah Balta

We need to draft players who can replace them.

The question is: When the ball is on the deck who do we trust???

Ginbey does not do it for me in terms of inside mid capabilities.

Is Elijah Hewitt capable of doing it? He seems like an outside player.

Untested Clay hall?????

Hence, It's official we need to look at Sam Lalor or Sid Draper

 

[dinnaz]

How do you rate Lombard in the teens. He’s been outstanding.

Is the Allies MVP surely, & one who has definitely peaked at the right time. However I think he's just about maxed out and will be overtaken by a lot of the Vic boys in the long run.

Plus of course academy & FS tend to slide a little.

I would be happy with either. I rate Lalor as pick one chance next to FOS. Draper I think will show 50 games in what a star he will be.
