• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[Lazzas]

He likely still available at 12 to 14.

Picked up a minor PCL that may rule him out of combine testing.

Would be happy with Lindsay at 12ish if Travagalia is off the table.

What's Travagalia's expected draft range?

 

[Elite Pete]

900 is probably overs but shouldn’t be an issue for us, front-end it and it could even help us. We are practically trying to give away money to meet the cap at this point aren’t we? Freo on the other hand, 2mil tied up in ruckman alone before you even look at Brayshaw, Serong, Young etc

Yeah the $900k would be 0 issue for us. It would be the picks in the trade and what other mids we could get in via trade ect. That where I think we really struggle.

Get 12* and 30* for TB
Give 12* and 23* for Pickett.

Leave us with 3 and 30 to get mids and also a running hbf who can kick.

 

[RanaNaved]

Big weekend for FOS, wildcard round to see who can make finals. Could be his last game.

If he puts together another game like last weekend, he's right back in top 3 contention for me.

Game is in Ballarat which is a wind tunnel of a ground, and to cap things off there's been really high winds of late. So don't expect pinpoint kicking.

If the wind is like the last week or so, good luck playing in it haha. I was nearly obliterated by a falling branch in Halls Gap the other day. Hope FOS has a big game though

 

[Footfalcon]

You're the saddest sod. Don't take your dead bedroom situation out on me mr pedantic

View attachment 2096516

I too put the blame for our current situation squarely on the shoulders of Melbourne’s Kozzie Pickett.

 

[eaglevision]

What's Travagalia's expected draft range?

8-12

Hope it’s quiet and injury free.

 

[TerryFilk]

What's Travagalia's expected draft range?

Could go anywhere from 7-15, I’m confident he’ll be there at our pick although I have heard from others that Carlton are interested in him. He’s also a very St.Kilda pick.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

do we have a source on the cripps stuff or are we just rolling with it because one dude said it was happening

Mark Readings on 6PR, I think?

 

[Elite Pete]

Surely we could do that for pick 12 on its own then?

Highly doubt it. Difference is Dees don’t want to sell or have to.

Now with Houston saying he is staying. That rules out the Power imo.

I think the Crows are too far down the Lukosius/ANB and needing a mid path.

If Freo think Chad is coming next year they will stay on that path and don’t want to be on the hook for both $900k for Pickett and did I read $1.2m for Bolton a year.

I think unless Trac changes his mind and stays. Pickett might pick the Eagles if he really wants out of the city. Ryan could help make it happen. We would love him and have a sort of need for his position but Mids and HBF are more pressing imo this off season. Interesting

 

[eaglevision]

Could go anywhere from 7-15, I’m confident he’ll be there at our pick although I have heard from others that Carlton are interested in him. He’s also a very St.Kilda pick.

If StK get band 1 I’m expecting them to take best mid available and TT. Desperate for Hawks to lose and Blues to win solely so we’re above their pick.

Lindsay isn’t a bad pivot imo.

 

[bzparkes]

What's with all these touchy blow-ins recently? Gee whiz...

 

[squashface]

First day on BF?

 

[TerryFilk]

Lindsay isn’t a bad pivot imo.

Agreed, damaging high volume kicker who’s a good runner and versatile

I like Bo Allan too, but just not for us specifically.

Pray for the Dogs win this week or getting into areas where TT and Lindsay both won’t be there.

Not a huge Allen fan. Really hope we don’t go down that path even if he is WA lad

 

[TerryFilk]

So much for hoping for a big game from FOS tomorrow

Feel for the kid, incredible frustrating year

A Dogs and Carlton win would be a god send

Hoping the Dogs key forwards absolutely rip Hawthorn’s defence to shreds, might help a little in TB negotiations.

From what I understand Saints upped the offer to a price that if Hawks match it would get band 1. Hawks didn't, he still chose them.

Will be interesting to see.

 

[Elite Pete]

FOS/Draper or someone just as awesome
Pickett
Baker
Champion
Lachlan Blakiston
Graham
+ 2 more draft picks
and pray to God that Hewett comes good =
Premiership confirmed

I have a feeling this is what it might look like. Like all the pick ups individually but still see us getting slaughtered in the midfield. Peatling or Gracia would be nice but doesn’t seem like we are cutting deep enough for that.

 

[Bacchus]

this is what a lot of people thought about dewar. Thye showed flashes and potential. Keep them.

I am ok with Livingston getting another year. He is a big player and showed enough to persevere with a little longer.

Don’t see it with Rawlinson. I think WAFL is his level. Doesn’t kick many goals. Happy to delist. I will be surprised if he makes it, so a bit of a list clogger.

This is my understanding too. Battle offer from Hawks hasn’t changed in the last month, which was reported as band 2.

 

[Bacchus]

Think Dewar showed more speed and unusual skill than Rawlinson.

 

[Elite Pete]

I’m with you on the very low likelihood. More of an exercise in exploring what avenues we could look into with the currency that we should have available to us, and which players actually suit us best.

I was pretty certain that our best look at Chad would be end of 2025 when he is out of contract. However, on the Tradies podcast Mitch Cleary did mention that he thinks there is still a bit to play out with Warner- of course McClure then went off on some tangent before Mitch could elaborate on his Warner intel.

If Sydney wins the flag maybe Warner gets their blessing to come home? Tricky thing with the Swans is that they are right in the flag window so will draft picks satisfy them? Ideally TB could’ve been part of the deal to help them immediately as opposed to some draftees that will be good in 5 years time.

I wrote about this on the coach thread but I think it pretty relevant for this thread too.

Listened to the Nest Pod (for those who dont POD, 2 Eagles nuffies who are in the media and have connections) and they were saying there is not intel or leaks coming out of the Eagles at all atm in regards to the Coaching gig.

They even mentioned it to the Club and they said good and about time ect. You can tell it’s driving Vic media crazy.

I think lips are very tight in regards to our recruits too and only info the media are getting are from Player Managers in regards to us.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

I have a feeling this is what it might look like. Like all the pick ups individually but still see us getting slaughtered in the midfield. Peatling or Gracia would be nice but doesn’t seem like we are cutting deep enough for that.

Yep that’s where it all starts in the guts, another top 3 midfielder will help, and it does look like we’ll pick one up. WC don’t normally give too much away, so I definitely haven’t given up hope on Garcia or Peatling etc.
As much as we need A grade mids, we also need a quality defensive midfielder, a competitor who can stop the oppositions best mids.
If Hewett does come good, that will be a huge bonus too
If there’s ever a time for hope, it’s trade and draft time, I’m sure those working behind the scenes know what type of players are needed.
We really need a high footy IQ, competitive Ruckman too.

 

[Boohemian]

Don’t see it with Rawlinson. I think WAFL is his level. Doesn’t kick many goals. Happy to delist. I will be surprised if he makes it, so a bit of a list clogger.

And there is the problem with the WAFL Eagles. It's hard for a pressure forward to show what they're capable of, and develop if they're getting belted week in week out.

It's time to disperse the boys amongst the remaining sides.

An alignment isn't going to fly with any club other than Peel because of the hubris of the other clubs.
