Wow Trew has shown more then Culley. With Trew out who will be our defensive mid (on the bench)?

Lets hope we aren't assuming Graham. Fingers cross Dev. I guess hutchingson but he has a sample size of 1

I'm going to lose alot of patience if we have culley trekking around stuck in mud as out defensive mid

 

[UseR2006]

Zane Trew delisted is it?

View attachment 2114188

I can hear it now
"why did we get rid of a good young player with talent"

Was that what he was supposed to be doing all this time?

 

[Elite Pete]

Surprised Luke Edwards wasn’t included in that lot.

 

[random260]

Was that what he was supposed to be doing all this time? No wonder he’s finishing up.

Made an edit to my post. He was a good bench/backup defensive mid. Good break the case on emergency

 

[TOA.]

Trew is abit disappointing as he has some really good attributes but all in all probably not well rounded enough, or big enough, to be an AFL inside mid.

 

[stallon]

Eagles trio to depart nest

The West Coast Eagles have announced three list changes

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Trew, Jones, Baker delisted

no surprises there, none of them realistically had a future long term at the club

Trew was never a defensive mid

[WCErevival]

Ledwards will probably be a medical retirement instead of a delisting.

 

[DanWCE]

Why did we get rid of a good young player with talent?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

From the Contracts thread in the stickied post.

Following Gaff’s retirement:

44 Players
Main List (36)
Rookie List (6)
Cat B (2)

Barrass, Darling and Jones off the main list brings us down to 33.
Rookie list stands at 4 currently*

*prior to any change in Jai Culley’s status.

Rotham, Edwards, Burgiel, Witherden, Culley remain out of contract.

 

[omgfridge]

Our midfield bull Darling and defensive linesmen Zane Trew gone in the same day

 

[mattyc75]

Remember your post on this, and in 2 years from now I want to see a mea culpa.

On Pixel 6 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

I'm just a little sick of the eagles picking players with poor or non existent draft years. If his form this year warrants pick 3 then fine but does it?
And even if it does is he going to be the best midfielder available at our pick?

On SM-S921B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[eaglevision]

So that's 3 off the main list and 2 off the rookies?
Is that right?

Gaff, Darling and JJ off the main.
Baker and Trew off the rookie list?

Or was Baker a Cat list?

Baker and Trew were Cat A rookies yes. We can probably put Barrass in the main group too.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Trew was never a defensive mid

Was in the side because he had the best hands on our list apparently

 

[kane249]

It’s offical, Darling has asked to be traded to North

Disappointing to see Darling go, especially that close to the 300 game milestone.

But end of the day it's in the best interest of all parties, que sera sera

 

[stallon]

We had 2 extra rookies didnt we?

With Darling, Barrass and JJ plus the 2 rookie spots being cleared up via Trew and Baker that means we are at 5 main list spots available right now right?

 

[DanWCE]

[flyinghi64]

And just like that, the sponsorship curse continues, Sorry Trew

 

[eaglesnutcase]

I think we take the player we rate highest at our first pick.Too bad if they sob sob for mummy. Get Harley to present their jumper and the kid will get a week long fat! Three years here will soon sort them out!
If it comes to a choice between two players we rate equally; then yes pick the non mummys boy.

 

[MrWoollie]

There isnt a single person in the world who would classify Baker as an A-grader

Haven't visited the Richmond board lately have you?

Apparently he's worth pick 3 plus more. Definite 'A' grader price there.

 

[Ghossein]

no surprises

 

[WCErevival]

Facebook is good reading at the moment.

 

[Avalor]

6 out, so is that 4 live picks and 2 trades, maybe?
It will be a very young squad, so perhaps we need Baker in as a trade.
