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

Actually if Gold Coast were smart, they would bring in top line players that could make a difference.

D Rioli is supposedly a priority and that is a start. I actually think the last thing they need is a bunch of new draftees. They had a heap last year and will get a bunch more top end talent in the next 2 drafts.

Who else is on the market?

They should put their hand up for Tom Barrass and offer 6 and 26 if we pay a big chuck of his salary. They would still have the 11 and 20 to trade with Richmond for Rioli (with % of salary paid by Tigers). That would leave them about enough points for Lombard.

The Suns need to use their picks not continue to bank them forward. For a decade, the Suns continue to bank picks and accumulate young talent. Time to change tact and make finals. Rioli and Barrass would help a lot more in 2025 than picks 6 11 20 and 26.

BTW - I am not advocating Tom would want to go there, only that the Suns should be looking to lure talent up north like Brisbane did with Dunkly and Neal

Barrass won't go to gold coast.

Sister moving to Melbourne, brother also slated to move there soon.

Did you read the final sentence?

 

[ghostbat12]

Id like to think like most that Bazzo > H.Edwards anyway would we not?

If H.Edwards goes also we can then just keep Callum Jamieson and hope he has a injury free year. Backups beyond that can then be your Maric/A.Reid people

We dont need Clurrey or H.Edwards. We are not trying to win a flag here, nor does our defense necessarily need any more experienced help. Our defense is fine without either of them

If H.Edwards unlocks Baker trade then lets do it.

Yes it’s all just fine.

 

[ghostbat12]

Did you read the final sentence?

Damn that fine print.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Lukosius gets them a 7 spot upgrade?

Sounds like hardwick doesn't rate him .

What would it normally cost to go from 11 to 4 ?

Probably a mid 1st . Say pick 11 and 12 for 4 ?

Sounds about right to me

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Sounds like Garcia re-signed with the Dogs today.

Big announcement at training with everyone getting around him.

Sorry I meant the thumbs down as a bugger, not a disagree, if that makes sense.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Very good boys, very good

 

[Lia]

The level of anxiety over this kid is pretty hilarious. He's checks notes again 197cm..... Has 100% played with a knee injury this year, and was started in Defence in the SANFL. Was given 2 games in the seniors and looked a little behind with the speed of the game because checks notes again.. he's 197cm...

Big lads always take a little longer. We've switched him into midfield, and sure it might look a little frustrating for supporters seeing him injected into the game with only 4 mins to go, but we were in with a sniff against Geelong, and Crouch was likely told to play until he was cooked.

My guess is that he'll either start this weekend in the seniors, or be given full minutes in the SANFL.

Putting checks notes in italics like a tosser detracts from your overall point which actually has validity.

 

[Elite Pete]

3 of the young boys named in the 22under22 squad. Hopefully joined by JWill, Hewett and Sid/FOS next year….. but the rebuild hasn’t started.

 

[The Dodger]

The poor bloke's parents probably belong in gaol, to be fair.

If former Sydney Swan: Jack Hiscocks parents aren't in gaol I don't think anyone will.

 

[RanaNaved]

Does anyone know which clubs, checks notes.....are in to Harry Edwards?

Eagles could 3 peat 28, 29 and 30 and Vic media will be saying we haven't started the rebuild

Checks notes…

Melbourne.

 

[Keys]

If we’re hoping to match a bid for Malakai with pick 59 we need that bid to come no earlier than pick 45. If a bid came as early as say pick 30 we’d need to add the equivalent of pick 50 to add to 59 to build enough points to match

Probably want to be going into the draft with an extra F3 that we can use to trade back into this years draft to cover a possibly earlier than expected bid

 

[swingdog]

Just from a player point of view, Harry's going to have more of a chance of winning a flag with us than the Demons. They've peaked but just don't know it yet.

Yes but when we are considered ready to win a flag, Harry might be at the club but not in our Best 23.

Agree that Demons are in trouble and they have not made the most of Gawn (32), Lever (28), May (32), Viney (30), Oliver (27) , Brayshaw (retired) and Petracca (28). All these players bar Angus are still capable of going around again but the cliff will come fast for the club.

raised earlier today - one dimensional, average tank, lacks a defensive game. The exact antithesis of the type of player we should be adding to the list.

At least Graham can kick a snag and can play defensive roles.

To be clear, it is a best squad of 40 under 22. That said, your point is still valid.

Hough (draft 21) Ginbey (draft 22) and Harley (draft 23). Hewett (draft 22) has shown enough if fit he is in that league.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Where did I say Knobel would Waltz into our best 22? I said Darcy, Jackson and Reidy would.

Ah read that as all 4 would. My bad

I think too early to give up on Flynn. Still not 100% fit as he has mentioned before

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Here is the AFLPA list of best 40 Squad of players under 22



Norf have 5, while Freo and Hawks have 4. Eagles along with Crows, Cats, Suns, Dees and Dogs have 3

Dons and Tigers are the 2 clubs not represented

Since it is 40, I suspect Harley is the only one that is certain to get in the best 22

When you consider Freo with 3 x R1 picks this year and 4 representatives, their list profile is pretty good and they can afford to trade these picks for layers who can get them a flag

If the voters watched Eagles games, then Hough would be a shoo-in.

We cant go into another season hoping Flynn gets up for every game. If we could rely on him then sure, but we cant.

Need something better than Flynn/BW.

The only suggested ruckman that would push Flynn out for next year is English

 

[stallon]

If the voters watched Eagles games, then Hough would be a shoo-in.

Should be first picked along with Holmes

 

[dinnaz]

That is a very Eagles-coloured view of the comparison. Premierships are won in the midfield, A-grade midfielders will always be worth more than even A-grade defenders. And the difference between being at the start of your peak and nearing the end of your peak is probably the mot important reason why Warner is worth more than Barrass.

Too bad Warner is a B grader then eh

Yeah freo are very well set up atm. They can afford to trade in talent while still drafting high.
Not too many holes to plug either
