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

wants me to pick up Sid Draper with our first now.
They have a similar style of play watching Sid play Sanfl league games

How do you turn off player cards in the app?

 

[footy_basis]

no reckon liam has been playing better since Schoey got the gig.

He's better but he's not the same 2018 version. If we are in rebuild mode, then these are the calls that need to happen.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Sorry for me Darling is top of the list to delist
He takes spots where we would better of playing younger players and getting development into them
This years draft is so deep we need to take advantage of it

All lovey dovey this but when our WAFL side is as putrid as it is, we kinda need to carry players too the end to provide some balance and leadership. If we decide to takk Gaff, Sheed, Darling, Culley and Trew from that side, it isnt winning even 1 game next year, regardless of the so called "changes" being made to "help" us

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If we are fair dinkum looking at our list, if Barass goes we have 1 tall defender in the WAFL. You need a minimum of 3.

Id make those 3 A.Reid, Ryan Maric and Bazzo myself. Solves some issues while at the same time arguably getting those 2 in the best positions for them

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Call him Kaleb Serong

 

[Schtinker]

Yes! Lets not delist dud players because we need experience in our wafl team.

 

[Tugga27]

Most people are talking about contracted "dud" players.

There's a diiference.

I wouldn't trade Ryan

I gotta say keeping darling just to bolster the WAFL side is a mentality that shows why we are a basket case of a club right now.
I'm hoping this isn't the thinking of the club and you are just an outlier with this because it really is the dumbest thing I've read on this forum for a long time.

We shouldn't be worrying about the WAFL eagles side to that extent and we should be folding the WAFL eagles side so our players mix with other sides in the WAFL.

I never said it was smart or good. I said its the reality we live in. We cant ignore the reality cos it hurts our feelings im afraid

 

[WCErevival]

He's contracted anyway so it's unlikely he is finishing up this year unless he calls retirement. His comments about playing to 35 go against that though.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Yes! Lets not delist dud players because we need experience in our wafl team.

Yes this is true. We cant delist a big bodied dud cos our WAFL team is so shambolic it needs him over a guy like Burgiel who we can rookie list anyway.

7 delistings + Barass going and getting 3 bodies in + 5 draft picks is probably the way we go

The Darling and Sheed calls will come at the end or during trade week. Who can we get in the door and how many picks do we want to take . Sydney recruiter (probably one of the best in the league) said really good players in the future will be rookie listed this year and you will question how, that how deep he thinks the talking runs this year.

Both will know where they sit and will have a decision to make. Sheed won’t have any suitors and don’t think Darling will either. Do they take a little less money and not have to worry about going to training and weekends taken up playing magoos and accept a payout.

 

[Cuzz09]

Farewell game for anyone this week??

Gaff?

Nah do it in last home game of the year. Just dumb to do it now when you dont know what can happen in the next few weeks

Id suspect we go in with 3 rookie list picks too mind you. Culley/Baker/Rawlinson can go. Yes even Rawlinson. Shown little and will be overtaken by Malaki Champion basicallly instantly

We can take 8 picks this year without wasting salary cap room

Meh, we know what's gonna happen. 4 losses

Also, does anyone honestly think we should pay out Darling/Sheed over Jamieson? This is the no brainer buyout for sure? Id probably tell the guy already thats what we will do.

 

[Cuzz09]

I can't see them delisting Jamo.

Especially if TB goes.

Thought he was OK down back but the midfield get slaughtered so it's impossible for a backman

Give him a run at it in I reckon

A fourth strong senior SANFL performance in a row from Sid. He simply has to be considered one of South Adelaide's best players at this stage. The extremely windy conditions turned this into a scrappy affair, and like most out there Sid had trouble directing his kicks in the first half. He got better as the game wore on, and like last week it was his incisive and damaging play in the second half that played an important role in getting the Panthers ahead on the scoreboard, including a fantastic classy goal in the fourth quarter.

Far too early on the last two. Baker has actually been one of the better players in the WAFL last few weeks.

We aren’t taking 8 picks this year.

Taking 3 picks in the rookie draft is just nonsensical. Two at the very very most.

Assuming the commission green lights the new rules we’ll only have one rookie pick if we retain Maric, Culley and Hutch.

Agreed all 3 should be gone. Draft is key but I’m not against brining in some free hits via FA if they met a need and we have a lot of needs.

Like I’ve said before this list position, while with a lot of challengers should be Clarkes dream if he actually has drive and wants a name for himself. Would be given 5 years minimum before starting to get judged.

-Salary cap space is there to play with and we are a big club, not easy getting players to a bottom 4 side but we ain’t most clubs.
-TB requesting a trade could come in very handy (keeping a player at his level isn’t the worst thing) 10 weeks is a long time in footy let alone 5 years.
-Unlike some I think we have have star power or future star power for the next 5 years+. Now add some more via Trade/FA and draft but get the right role players too. We lack in this area greatly.
-New NGA rules should help a lot but wait and see what the new matching rules are. A few already in the pipeline. Development is key, Bringing in a new team and get some of the best.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If Malakai Champion is looking at that pick 30-50 range are we also not better off getting picks inside top 25 then a bunch of picks from 50-70 on the concept that if we had pick 40 and someone bids at pick 30 for Champion then we gained nothing we couldnt get by collecting late picks for free?
