[Get_The_Gaff]

Screw baker-
I'd pay our 2nd rounder for Macrae if we could convince him to move.

No way ! Its a salary dump . 3x years at 800k left on his contract .
I can see a club getting him for nothing to take his contract

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

He was as still is in my top 5

Smillie and FOS have been disappointing in 2025 and are not a top 5 lock anymore while huge ??? on Langford’s athleticism

There will not be much consensus this year so Cal will struggle with his predictions

But lalor has big ??? on ability to play midfield. Top 5 for a medium forward ?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Screw baker-
I'd pay our 2nd rounder for Macrae if we could convince him to move.

Sorry but this is nuts

Baker is 4 years younger and most of us are debating if hes too old to be coughing up picks on

 

[bUCKET__]

Macrae is also cooked, a shell of the player he used to be. Like watching Gaff running on sand.

 

[Jed Clampet]

Screw baker-
I'd pay our 2nd rounder for Macrae if we could convince him to move.

 

[Cuzz09]

Big Harry Boyd won the magery medal fir the Legs in the SANFL.

Had a great couple of years.

Prob be our no.1 ruck

[SumaGodCoach]

Hawks lose a prelim and the Saints get band 1 for Battle. Richmond get 6 for Rioli and 10 and 11 for Bolton. We overpay for Graham to generate pick 22 compo over pick 40.

WCE in: 10, 11, 16, HAWKS F1, Baker
WCE out: 3, F2, Barrass

Rich in: 3, HAWKS F2
Rich out: 10, 11, Baker

Hawks in: Barrass, WCE F2
Hawks out: 16, F1, F2

9am on day 1 of the trade period. Knock off early and pop in at Jesters on the way home.

 

[RanaNaved]

Giving up anything of value to bring in Macrae would be so stupid.

He's too old for us and the game has moved past that type of player

 

[WA footy mad]

I totally agree our pick 3 should go to Richmond for baker. But it must have 2 sweeteners Rioli & Bolton or no deal. Our club has done some dumb things in the past lets hope they have learnt from past mistakes.

 

[Phas]

Are there any loopholes in the trading space?

Could we be part of deals where clubs look to bring in talent but can't afford it?

Eg. Fremantle want Bolton but can't pay his salary. We play third party and pick up his salary in exchange for picks.

Fre
Out 9, 10, 17
In Bolton(-600K salary PA), 59

Rich
Out Bolton
In 9, 10

WCE
Out 59 (600k salary PA)
In 17


Pick purchasing before pick purchasing?

Would the player have to sign with us first and then be ontraded?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Sucks heavily on the spliff…pufffff..yea man ya probably right.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Drafting an injured player? I love it when you talk dirty.

The pieman approves

 

[Priddis Is Done]

I value our current 2nd round pick 23 on draft night to be around pick 28. At 28 it's sort of in the middle of nowhere and i think we can leverage it better (if peatling/baker cant be traded with first imo). If adelaide can land Cummings for nothing they'd prob be more than happy to take our pick 3 and give us their pick 25 to move up one spot assuming they are keen on draper.

Crows= 3
Wce= 4 + 25

Play hard ball and get Hawks 13 and f1 for Barass, and we agree to pay Tom's 3 remaining years out.

Hawks= Barass
WCE= 13 + Hawks f1

Instead of GC getting rioli they get Noble at a significantly lower price and still get the running half back flanker. 23 + 25 similar point index to pick 6 and we chuck in Hawks f1 which will be very appealing to GC. At pick 6 rioli is terribly overated, we can get them the same points plus the future first tied to Hawks.

GC get= 23(WCE) + 25(adelaide) + hawks f1
Wce get= pick 6

WCE= lose 3(draper) and Barass
WCE= goes to the draft with 4, 6, 13, 59

Add a couple more 4th rounders from petch or darling to bring in a kpb and malakai

I'd much much rather keep 23 ± 25 and hawks F1
And forgo 6

MWT had a couple of Eagle talking points.
Jayz put forward the
Hawks 13* and F1
For
TB and F2.

All seemed to agree this is where it will go.

at least 2 year deal on the table from the Roos. F4 mentioned if we don’t chip in, pick in the 30s if we do (way too much m). JayZ questioned why the Roos would even go down this path. He then went all Vic Journo nuffie and Said if he can’t get a game at the Eagles (missed like 1 game) why would he get a game at the Roos. Well because our key position are so much better than theirs.

 

[Spooky17]

Can Macrae play gimp wing?

I’d take him on for a first round pick salary dump like the BODEs got with Bowes.

We need to play the salary floor, he can help out the youngsters and get another talented youngster in the draft.

No way I’d pay a pick out of our own pocket though.

 

[Goroyals22]

30 already hmmmmm. Don't think he fits the demographic we be looking at

It would surprise all here no end that Gerard Healy and actually the corne think McRae is the sort of bloke we should be going after.. it wouldn’t be a bad idea if it shoved Kelly to half forward but we aren’t in the race apparently

[THE A5]

Who or what is MWT?

 

[twce13]

Mcrae is a plodder now. What's the point of moving on from gaff and bringing in him.

Unless we get a salary dump high pick (it doesn't seem this is the noise) it's a hard no.

 

[mat11]

Who or what is MWT?

I'm thinking mid week tackle

 

[bzparkes]

Who or what is MWT?

MWT typically refers to Mean Waiting Time, which is a metric used in various industries to measure the average time a person or process waits before receiving service or action. It's commonly used in customer service, network analysis, and healthcare to assess efficiency.

For example:

• In customer service, MWT would represent the average time a customer waits before getting a response from a representative.
• In networking or computing, it might refer to the average time a data packet waits before being processed or transmitted.
• In healthcare, MWT might measure the average time patients wait for treatment or consultation.

Jay also was the one who put forward to the panel a couple of months ago #3 then questioned "Is that too much?" while the other 2 looked at him like he was a complete idiot.

 

[Mattman93]

The single biggest predictor of a hamstring injury is to have had a previous one.

Yeah, tis a worry I guess. I was also pretty keen to see his testing numbers to get a comparison point for athleticism. Does anyone have any previous testing numbers for him? WCE_phil ?

 

[BartBart]

Before anyone answers, I think it was Essendon.

 

[squashface]

Pretty sure it was Gunston & Bock
