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

[Happy Mastenator]

Cut Trew, haha why? Actually got a chance this year, picked up possessions and kicked goals. Definitely deserves another shot

You sure about that? It felt like his did but you might want to go back and check the game logs.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

With Melbourne blowing up, now is the time to be in Rivers and McVee's ears about coming home.

 

[southcoast]

He looks fine in the WAFL but I don’t really see an AFL standard footballer. We’ve also got Champion coming in, Long coming back, Hewett coming back who’ll play half forward sometimes and then next year we have Wes Walley too as an NGA guy.

Fine with keeping him for one more year and seeing if he can take a big leap though.

And for these reasons I struggle to see a need for us to chase GC Rosa (as an example of someone who has been encouraged to look elsewhere)

We have bigger holes to fill.

Not in favour of casting a net - rather we target fished for needs. Just got to work out which of our many needs is our greatest.

Something tells me that Baker will choose Freo, he would have to be one hell of a eagles nuffie to want to come play for us with the state we are in.

Suggest if Freo land Pickett and Bolton their interest in Baker would evaporate.

Unless they show some balls and cut Fyfe and Walters.

Pies chasing Davies at the Suns.

That's who we should be chasing. Not Rosa's. I met his younger brother who was playing footy with my son. Look very similar.

 

[stallon]

I'm prepared to give Tom Barrass to the Hawks for a second rounder and we pay half his contract if they offer Rotham a million a year so we get the McKay band 1 comp and get pick 4.

brilliant

 

[Obeanie1]

I can assure you you’re not the only one among those working in those markets.

Anyone can be a day trader.

TBH it's an unethical way to earn a living IMO. You aren't actuallyproducing or contributing anything to society and the economy. Just skimming and taking risks on daily fluctuations in the market.

McVee is vanilla. Gotta do better then that

What's 'unethical' about it exactly?

It's a learned skill that takes years to become profitable.

I used to work a real job but just lost passion or desire during COVID lockdowns to keep doing it to be honest.

I get what you are saying. Im not really contributing a ton to society, but disagree on it being unethical. Im way too far away from influencing the machine to be involved in the ethical nature of it. Its no different to you driving in a car to go to work and me saying you are unethical for contributing to pollution moreso then me who stays at home and drives less which isnt really true or fair

A persons life also is more nuanced then what they do at a job. If im unethical in work, I 100% make up for it outside of it so in that sense im content with my path

 

[Obeanie1]

Band 2 and 3 are for all intents and purposes the same pick for the Tigers so if the contract is band 4 the we then start worrying.

If Schofield is not appointed I think it’s less likely Baker comes and Ryan stays.

Ryan and Schofield get along well is my understanding.

Got a suspision Ryan will be at Gold Coast next year. He would be a good get and very marketable in Qld. Get a few more buns on seats.

Nothing.

No goods.

No services.

Just being clever skimming off shares or index's going up and down.

Any trade to the Gold coast we need to be getting overs, if richmond can get pick 6 and change for Rioli we should be getting a pick in the teens at mininum.

You contribute money to create goods and services. If I purchase shares via a capital raise that is to use my money to create a good or service so thats the aspect of that

I dont think its enough to really brag about but it is grander then the Nothing you suggest

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Pretty insane if true

Barass pick can go to Kosi I suppose?

 

[Boohemian]

Meh, overrated trait to be honest. How many times have we called for natural footballers? It's playing footy not training for the next Olympics.

Not really. If a player doesn't have the athletic ability to cover the ground with pace, they are going to struggle at AFL level in this day and age.

 

[squashface]

Kosi would be the right age profile for us but will be very expensive I would say

By that logic, never invest money into anything.

Also don't drink alcohol either, that has a net negative effect on society.

Don't do anything legal that could potentially make you money because you're being greedy.

Come on mate, there's nothing unethical about day trading.

If you'd brought up gambling in the other hand, then I fully agree.

 

[Obeanie1]

Seems to kick goals so it's weird they are happy for him to leave.

Ask yourself. Who are they targeting to replace Rosas?

That's the interesting issue.

Ryan's manager been talking to both Qld clubs.

And the Suns do get a tad smitten when a decent player is interested in playing for them.

Barass pick can go to Kosi I suppose?

That’s what I was thinking it’d take

He’s still only 23 so worth a look

Better option than Baker

My dog is a better option than Baker. She loves chasing balls. Probably taller too

 

[Boohemian]

Absolutely yes please to Kosi Pickett at West Coast.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Sounds like he ultimately will stay put. But if we flipped the entire Barrass haul for Kozzie, you’d take that and run.

 

[stallon]

I wouldnt want to pay a huge amount more than that. Maybe a player, I hope they like the look of Culley!
