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

[KERRPOW]

I hadnt considered it before, but yeah. Even being injury prone id still do it, id want a decent pick or a young player though

If Freo get bolton, and then Warner picks Freo, they might need some of that cap space.

Overweight, injury prone ruck you say?

Nic nat likes this.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Getting a decent Ruck must 100% be our priority, have to do everything in our power to trade in a decent Ruck option.

 

[Obeanie1]

Wait until next week it’ll be someone different.

TT is exactly what our list needs.

Has been the case for months.

And that wont change.

If we can land either a Draper / Lalor and TT I will be a very happy Eagles fan come draft night.

23 and we give him 3 more seasons......

Seriously, our list management is atrocious.

 

[Godfather32]

And here's me. Old enough to remember when Tabs was the Freo love child, great white hope and next best thing all rolled into one.

And there was Apeness for a while, my purple mates loved to tell me he was going to be great one day

Don't forget when they got Gumby from Essendon.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Key defenders are at a premium and he’s been very good at AFL level this year.

 

[eaglevision]

Don't forget when they got Gumby from Essendon.

And the Matera with the most upside.

If you’ve got a better plan for the impending departure of Barrass I’m all ears? I think they got this one right, especially with strong interest from other clubs.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

If we can't get that Bulldogs bloke toiling away in the VFL, then we may as well sign up a B22 key defender instead.

I GUESS

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Not sure about that, but we do need key backs, and they don't grow on trees. 3 years is probably fine, if we aren't paying him a bucketload.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

 

[eagles rule]

Don't forget when they got Gumby from Essendon.

And Hogan from Melbourne

Omg and then he ends there finals campaign

Love child is putting it a bit strong, it was more we had nobody ****ing else and he was the best of a mediocre group. But old Tabsy's time has passed.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I'm eastern states based so don't go out of my way to watch Freo, but i always though Tabs was good (or at least flashed a lot of potential), but his body let him down constantly.

 

[DanWCE]

Sounds like Jai Culley will sign on in the next couple of weeks - Gettable

Also good to hear those two nerds on that show talking complete sense around TB, what he would cost, and that we should not be at all interested in essentially turning TB into Baker. Couldn't agree more.

 

[WCE_phil]

Fit, career years, at maximum momentum with a pretty blessed run of injuries.

Get that F1 West Coast, I beg.

Would you prefer hawks future first or that future first + 23 and our future second to GC for pick 5?

 

[noobermensch]

Chock full of confidence after his exploits at VFL level, Jagga Smith returned to Talent League play with a bang, racking up over 40 possessions in a dominant display. His craft at stoppage is unmatched at this level, and he used it to drive his chargers team forward throughout the game. He was involved in everything in general play, from helping to rebound out of defense to threading balls onto the chest of leading forward and even snagging a goal himself.

The latter for me please.

He's dominant there is no doubt about it.

His complate lack of ability to add to his frame in 2 years is a huge worry. His average kicking also isn't what a club like the WCE need. Particularly when he's already finished high school last year and his 100% focus has been on footy this year.

He sure as shit is slippery and can find the ball though.

Gun
Really hoping him or Draper are available at 3

Mate it was a joke.
How many times on here is someone the flavour of the week or month then someone mentions how good another player is then that’s the new favourite.

I think he’d be perfect for us but who knows what our recruiting team is thinking.

Whats wrong with his kicking? Lacking penetration?
Looks pretty good from what I've seen. Especially his field kicking, good vision and touch.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

So
Pick 12 (Hawks F1), Pick 23 (This year), Pick 21 (our future second)

Or

Pick 5 (this year)

Lopsided trade points wise.....



Even if Hawks won the flag its lopsided points wise. Think we'd be able to find better value packaging up picks with Academy/Father Son clubs.

 

[WCE_phil]

His kicking is inconsistent, penetration mildly and like a lot of players at speed or on long kicks it's more to an area as opposed to where a player is going to be. It's not a huge weakness but it's not a strength. Right now and into the future the eagles have a huge issue in regards to kicking ability all over the ground.

Also the biggest interest in Ryan wasn't from the suns but someone else however that no longer looks like a major option and certainly no longer their first choice for that role.
