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

Davies, Garcia and Knobel are all out of contract and should be the three main trade targets for us this year. All can be part of bigger deals with their respective clubs. If we can get two of the three over that would be an outstanding result.

This would be an awesome coup for the club.

One can dream I suppose. (Very achievable)

 

[RanaNaved]

Will Powell, Judd McPhee both would be massive massive upgrades on our current medium defenders
Next year both out of contract we need to offer huge contracts and see if we can shake loose

Wil Powell is signed until 2029

Two senior SANFL games, two impressive performances and two times in the best for South Adelaide. Also two times with double digit tackles, showing his bravery and readiness to compete against hardened professionals. Sid's kicking was a little off and he resorted to quick dump kicks from stoppage at times, but in heavy conditions his hands were super clean and creative.

 

[stallon]

If we were to get in 2 ready made mids from other clubs, like a Garcia + Davies for example, I feel like we would be better off splitting our 1R and getting travaglia + best available with the other pick, even if its not a midfielder.

Getting in 2 blokes means we have Yeo, Kelly, Reid, Ginbey, Hewett, Davies, Garcia and Chesser potentially? with Hall and whoever else as depth in the WAFL as inside mids

If we give Davies 80% CBAs, and then split the rest up evenly among maybe 5 more players, we would struggle to fit a young mid in.

If we at least shore up half back and wings this year, we can more readily dump a couple of our defender list cloggers like JJ, Rotham and maybe Witherden.
Maybe get a young KPD too.

Then once we have all parts of the field somewhat covered with youth, we can go back to the midfield in 2025.

If we trade our F1 into this year or trade out Barrass/Waterman then we probably just get a top 3 mid + Travaglia anyway so ignore my post

W powell pick 19 2017 draft.

The year we took brander at 13 and ignored powell and starcevich for the Queensland clubs. Also leaving Kelly to go to the cats.

**** me the I hope decision makers on this draft are all gone.

I think it’s the other way. Take the cream but would be a great intake and from what they have shown this year they are ready.

If TB does move on and we can get Travaglia with highest the pick that comes across. He’s what we need.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

I think we all want Travaglia he is classy and fills a desperate need
If we can get him and another like Draper
Would be very happy
If we can get a end of first round comp pick would help as our second rounder will get pushed out to 25+
Alex Davies, Riley Garcia and Kaleb Smith if we can get them cheap would be great
If we can pick up Hamish Davis and maybe a Gerryn
Zac Johson is another Vic mid who iam very impressed with as a later pick
There is so much depth this draft would be a great time to cut the list harder than normal

Ultra consistent as always, Jagga Smith was one of Metro's best and performed well in a game in which some of the other fancied draft prospects struggled. It was the same as usual for Jagga, strong at stoppage winning a game high eight clearances and releasing teammates into space with creative and clean hands. He worked hard on the spread and hit up targets consistently by foot.

If HEdwards continues that and the TB ‘ overs’ trade is there, it has to happen.

I agree. And Bazzo's body transformation I suspect means he won't be an easy one on one push over like he was last year.

Few HEdwards doubters might have to eat their words I'm thinking

He can play

 

[RanaNaved]

Big Harry does look different this year....in a good way

 

[stallon]

His few games this year have been reasonably good.

If we dont promise him game time we will lose him, I dont think we can afford to lose him

As you would expect the more he is in the system. Even more reason if the trade is there for all 3 parties we should do it

 

[BOND 007]

BOND 007 mate, been some handy misses here

Yea - hindsight s a wonderful thing. Playing in a good team like Lawson is helps as well.

Yep. If Barrass actually wants to go and it’s not papertalk, I think you have to entertain it.

Relying heavily on Gov staying fit which is risky, but a Gov/Edwards pairing with Bazzo in the wings is a risk worth taking in the short term to gain multiple firsts.

What would it be? Hawks first (currently 6) + Dogs F1? Is that Eagles fan optimism?

Thanks, that's what I was going for

I am sure all clubs would agree with that sentiment.

I think Smith trade (8ish), their 2R (30) and Garcia is the play.

Papertalk was delisted years ago

Few people on here were adamant Jamieson was the better player hahaha
