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

  • Daniels: Bolton is Fremantle’s priority

 

[new breed]

Bolton would cost heaps !!

 

[tiger_tough]

 

[jaxxon]

Looks like it may be a big trade period this year. I just hope we somehow get and keep two first round picks.

 

[CountryLad]

Bolton has announced he wants to come West. Freo would have to be interested but what’s he worth.

Mass exodus of Tigers in the off season by the looks of it.

 

[stallon]

Rhino on fire tonight

 

[WCErevival]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

He will replace Gaff

 

[stallon]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

Hes a hff flanker type. Bit of a plodder but is an ok role player.

Hes somewhat similar to Cripps I guess but doesnt kick goals and cant run as much.

Hes done a few tag jobs in the last few weeks

 

[new breed]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

Will help with experience I suggest , help midfield rotations also maybe.

 

[Goroyals22]

Seems pretty pointless to me. Limited player and 27 next year.

Might be a short term Cripps replacement across half forward

[stallon]

Make him a defensive mid or half forward I guess.

Hes a hard worker at least which is a good trait to bring into a young list.

Hes free at least too, was thought to be in line for captaincy at the Tigers at one point too I believe

Definitely worth a top 5 pick to Richmond. Not that keen for us to be the one who gives it though.

 

[Ghossein]

A free player is a free player

View it in the context of who is leaving the list and who he would be replacing

It's not necessarily meant to be a long term replacement

 

[Monocle]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

He is like the current version of Sheed and between them both being so *ing injury prone, they could job share, because the likelihood of them being fit at the same time is extremely remote.





Graham would be a pretty uninspiring pick up.

 

[amazingjoshy]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

Role player. Has played half fwd mainly but lately been used (pretty effectively) as a tagger. Has some big games when paying bulk mid mins too. Big tackler, at worst he can teach some of our guys how to do that

Biggest issue is he's been very injury prone this year (3 years previous he's barely missed) If fit he's a more than a handy get for free

 

[bigmikles089]

Graham and Baker went on a trip to the US last year. Obviously been teammates for a while but worth noting..

 

[stallon]

Getting Graham in probably means Baker is a little more likely.

Will fix our list demographics straight away for hopefully no more than a 2nd round pick, especially as we are delisting a heap of guys in their 20s

Correct I think he comes in as a defensive mid. We have plenty of offensive options in the Smiley kid, Yeo and Kelly. Ginbey has moved to half back and should stay there.

 

[CountryLad]

Definitely worth a top 5 pick to Richmond. Not that keen for us to be the one who gives it though.

I’m finding it hard to see a top 5 pick. I know his best is very good but then I just see too many games where he’s just very average. Will be interesting to see what Freo offer I don’t see it in our best interest to use a high pick on him. However Pyke did say we would be very aggressive.

 

[squashface]

Freo should be able to get Bolton done with their first rounders.

Perfect fit for their list profile - doubt we would jump in.

 

[stallon]

Correct I think he comes in as a defensive mid. We have plenty of offensive options in the Smiley kid, Yeo and Kelly. Ginbey has moved to half back and should stay there.

Yeha ive been saying it a bit lately that we just need a defensive mid pretty badly, I was thinking it could be Dev or something but Graham will do the role just fine, and hes free.

He nearly went to Port I think a couple of years ago when the Tigers signed Taranto and Hopper as he wanted some midfield time. He probably gets it now

 

[omgfridge]

What sort of player is Graham and who is he likely to replace in our line-up?

Hes a slow shit midfield spud. Might as well sign Jackson Nelson back up.

Please don't do this Eagles, less we just want someone to keep Sheed company in the WAFL next year.

 

[Elite Pete]

At least they are getting aggressive by the sounds of it. Linked to a lot of players. Not a fan of the Graham pick up at all but like already mentioned hopefully we pay overs in salary to trigger a higher band and get Baker for less then what Vic media are suggesting.

HEdwards seems a little bit of a worry and Melbourne? Seemed like the last team to be trying to trade in a KPD and HEdwards to just be back in the pecking order again.

 

[omgfridge]

Hes free because hes terrible. Absolute liability.

 

[new breed]

New ex Richmond list manager would have tabs on all three Tiger players on the move back to WA .
