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

Ryan is a Schofield protege so the coach appointment may be a factor for him.

Can’t see it happening for him at an ES club.

No club will offer more than a second rounder so he is worth more to us than that.

 

[Elite Pete]

Surely we want to hold onto Ryan unless we get a crazy offer

To be fair Morris has came back with another tweet. Eagles will ask for Premium Draft compensation. We won’t have anyone else to pay, pay his salary and get the Sun pick (6) or Doggies (12* and 20*)

Suns bring in Rioli and Flyin with other teams paying their salary for 2 years and still get a top 10 player.

 

[Bender_]

Getting into fire sale territories now (the rumours anyway).

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Can’t sanction moving Ryan on for anything less than a top 10 pick, which nobody in footy is offering.

A late first that’s pushed into the mid 20s does absolutely nothing for me, given what we have behind Ryan at mid/small forward.

Who will take the slack, post knee injury Noah Long? Bordering on deceased Jamie Cripps

? Could destroy an 18 year old Champion instead of letting him come on slowly, that could be fun.

Just can’t do it, unless an offer comes in that is simply farcical. Weirdly, Freo should be swinging us the Pies pick for Ryan and instantly become flag favourites but let’s not go there.

 

[RanaNaved]

Get all da picks!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[random260]

Flying adds like 3 extra goals to our team. Since his evolution as a midfielder he has more string to his bow and greater benefit to the team.

If we want fluke wins or wins we need Ryan.

We need him less as a goal scorer more as a classy transitioner to our fwd line

Pick 14 and lower and maybe I consider it.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Happy to test the market with Flyin. He's contracted so unless it's a first rounder doubt we move him.

A contending team would be nuts not to consider it with a mid teen pick

 

[Keys]

Ignoring their relative trade values, would you rather Ryan or Baker on our list bearing in mind Baker is ~15 months younger and hasn’t had surgery on both hamstrings

Also whilst Baker would likely set better training standards, Ryan’s value as a mentor to our young indigenous lads shouldn’t be underestimated

It’s pretty even but if we are having to offer more to get Baker than we receive for Ryan then I’m keeping Ryan

Or we could have both

 

[Ghossein]

Ryan has at the very least 3 good years of footy left in him

I wouldn't let him go for less than a 1-18 pick, which I don't think a club would be prepared to offer

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Great career Gaff! Is it 280 or 298 games?

298 includes pre season

 

[Ghossein]

What are the actual benefits of being a 300 game player?

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

I’m very happy to let the majority of our seniors/decent players go for good picks but think offloading Ryan would be a big mistake. He’s a game changer even if he’s having an off day he makes something out of nothing and his type don’t grow on trees, i mean we literally don’t have any other player like him on the list and haven’t had for a while..

 

[Cuzz09]

This is exactly my sentiment. Winning the ball at the contest, the ability to move the ball and defend oppo ball movement is the key. We have had the best spine for years, nicnat, Kennedy, Barras gov darling and it didn't make a shred of difference for the last three years. Our inability to defend ball movement and our inability to generate inside 50s is why we get pumped. They are the players you target for when the finals window opens up.

glad someone agreed with me.

modern footy is just run it.

Why not load up with talented mids that can push fwd/back when needed and not run out of gas

I think they mean what do you actually get?

Is it free entry to every game in Australia if a ticket is available?

You get a lanyard and sticker.

You get a letter from the CEO of the AFL, it’s like when you turn 100 and the PM writes to you.

If he was uncontracted, Liam’s value would be the same as Baker’s. You know what you’ll get from Baker each week but he’s not a game breaker. A third club passing on a pick to Richmond could be the basis of a three way trade involving the Liams.

I’d also be very surprised if Freo weren’t interested, I’d be pushing for Knobel and the worst of their 1R (likely 16) for Liam and pick 28 if we acquired it in a Barrass trade with the Hawks.

Good question...

I had a quick Google search and couldn't find an answer.

 

[Cuzz09]

pick 3 and 10 for pick 4 and Curtin is what you would offer really. We just take O'Sullivan instead of Draper

F*** that, keep 10

What’s with the giving back of picks to dilute the value of the one received?

We may also see Travaglia get some VFL action this weekend, but as of Sunday it wasn't confirmed whether he would play for an AFL affiliate club at that level or go back to Sandhurst for the bye.

Twomey reporting he’ll play for Carlton VFL. Looking forward to seeing how his game stands up against men.
