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

Battle compo?

Said on the bris vs saints coverage he is most likely staying at the saints

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

9 becomes 11.

Risk there is we miss out on all the top rated mids. And also miss Travagalia, Trainor and Lalor.

9, 10, 13, 23 and 25 is a nice blend but they all drop by two places min. Would prefer we end uo with one pick under 10 plus other 1sts.

Why does 9 become 11? My board is done independently of Ashcroft and Lombard. It would only drop back 1 with a Battle FA pick and I am hearing he is re-signing. If the Dogs get a FA pick for losing English, that would be after 9, 10 and 13.

I expect Armstrong to elevate into the top 10 as a KPF is considered higher value. Murphy Reid is also rising up boards and may go single digits. And if Dodson continues as he has and selects AFL, he could be a real surprise early pick.

Do not want Trainor. But I think there will be clubs jumping at him early.

Interesting. I know he wasn’t RFA so hard for the Saints to have influence but I thought they would’ve taken pick 6 in a heart beat for him.

 

[noobermensch]

The move of Travaglia into the middle continues with reasonable success. His intense competitiveness leads to him applying significant defensive pressure around contests and stoppage, and his high work rate allows him to find plenty of the footy on the spread. He's not as clean with his hands and incisive with his movement as other top line mids in the pool at this stage though, which leads to most of his work at stoppage being scrappy.

Ashcorft and Lombard bids push live pick 9 to 11.

I look at the top 10 who we miss out on.

I dont mind splitting if we still have a live pick around 8. It means at worst we can still jump on Travagalia then chase mids with picks 11 to 14 ish.

 

[FKASC]

So have our collective opinions on chucking a bucket of money at English changed since Friday? I was initially lukewarm to the idea, but watching BWill get absolutely smashed really highlighted the case for his replacement as a ruckman for mine.

I would have to go back and watch some GC v WB matches to see how English fared against witts

I do my board without the NGA and FS prospects.

Twomey's July prospects


PM Bangers top 15


Ed Pascoe July rankings


I am expecting Armstrong to start rising up boards Tigers will be keen with the Suns pick.

My board is a bit different though still changing as the final rounds are still happening.

I use these 3 listings just to show how different the ranking are and I suspect Cal Twomey is going to have a really tough phantom call as recruiters will be very tight lipped.

Nah Ross wants wins . Losing battle will put them back . They have heaps of cap so I think they are chasing one of the gws UFA.

They never get the decent FAs.

Talk was they want to go to the draft hard.

You’d think Essendon would be all over Armstrong or maybe Travaglia with a top 10 pick. Can’t see them going a mid.

Thanks mate, let us know your thoughts when you’re done

Caddy last year and Hobbs/Tsatas looking average. Although I don’t think they need a mid necessarily

 

[Elite Pete]

Caddy really their only hope up forward going forward. Wright isn’t looking great. Kako handed to them is a big leg up.

Both are doing very well in the VFL, just Brad doesn’t play the young blokes.

 

[WCE_Phill]

The Freo 3 x R1 picks are moving backwards. My predictor had them finishing with picks 9, 12, 14 and 25. While I would love 9, 12 and 14 for 3 and 23, that may need a F3 to sweeten the deal.

If we want to keep our future picks in hand, then what about 10, 13 and 25 for 3 and 30 . I anticipate 3 gets Bolton from Tigerland (along with 1, they get 2 of Smith/Smillie/Draper/FOS)

Assuming we get 9 and 30 for Barrass.

Take to the draft 9, 10, 13, 23 and 25 (late pick for Champion)

There are a few I have on the board in the 20's I would like prior to pick 30, hence the value in getting 25 and giving up 30.

Looking at it through a Purple lens, they turn 9, 12, 14 and 25 into Bolton plus 14 and 30.

Like your thinking but prefer

Trading F1 for Freo picks 9 & 12

Trade Barrass for 10 and 28 (send this for Baker)

Go to draft woth 2, 9,10, 12 and 23

Effectively F1 and Barrass for 9,10, 12 and Baker

Tigers aren’t taking 28 for Baker.

I agree I’d look at dealing out F1, but if we’re doing that ideally we’ve got to squeeze the Hawks F1 out of them in the Barrass deal somehow.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Thoughts on Archer Day-Wicks? I'd quite like him with a later pick.

Day-Wicks is an enigma. He'll do some really sensational things and then he'll also get tunnel vision around the goals.
He is a good mark for his size but needs to work on his field kicking which can be suspect.
Plenty to work with, just need to be patient.
Some photographs from yesterday.

 

[WCEswift]

I don't get the toby t hype

Jack wooden wouldnt be bad look with a rookie pick

 

[FKASC]

I’m done

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

We could always threaten to hold him to his contract

 

[squashface]

I’m done

FKASC is Done

 

[mattyc75]

Just saw Jack ough's name mentioned in a draft board, looks like a big winger.
Anyone seen him and have thoughts on his draft range?
I'd really like us to pick up at least one outside mid this draft. Moraes will probably go too early

[Priddis Is Done]

Trade Out (2): Barrass (Hawthorn- Picks 10,26), B Williams (F3)
Trade In (1) : Baker (F2)
FA (2) : English, Graham

Draft picks (5) - 3,10,23,26,59(Champion)
Picks for 2025 -
F1,2xF3,F4

Overall - 3 new players in, 2 players out, minimum 5 draft picks

Need to delist minimum 7 players -
Gaff, Rotham, Jones, L Edwards, Sheed (medical retirement- foot)

Plus 2* of Trew, Culley, Rawlinson, Baker (all rookies), Burgiel or Witherden

*Add one more of this group for each additional player you want traded in or draft/rookie pick used

I'd be wrapped with that. Decent to good experience. Great picks.

And no Curtin

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Tigers aren’t taking 28 for Baker.

They probably would if we got them band 3 compo (pick 22 ) for Graham.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Lol cause he was the only shut down player in the side. He also used to get burnt by Saad and usually trailer him by 30-40m.

Hutch was the definition of a plodder

Yeah nah

He kind of was a plodder / nowhere (previous club), found his niche and hit a purple patch for a year or 2.

Hats off to him.

Club held onto him for at least 1 year too long.

He got the best out of himself.

Kade Herbert from SA looks like a good late pick for an outside mid
