If trading Barrass landed us Curtin whilst still allowing us to take Reid I'd do it.

I really hope he asks out, I think he’s overrated by our fan base and he’s essentially the only senior player with genuine currency.

If you can get Sydney’s first and change for him, you do it

 

[TerryFilk]

Let's just wait till Chesser gets fully fit and a good pre season under his belt before bashing him.

Hardly his fault all this.

Agreed, not writing him off yet but also not going to act like what we’re seeing from him at AFL or WAFL level isn’t a bit concerning, especially when Johnson and Hobbs look really solid.

I am officially dunzo with this team for the year, any article or interview I see with our coaches or players I'll be scrolling past faster than Speedy Gonzalez. I am so done with hearing 'We need to be better' 'We're working hard' 'We're getting around each other' all this crap and then they dish up 70+ point losses every week. I'm over it, I'm done.

Gutless, nutless, lazy squibs

Nah, he’s not overrated at all. He’s one of the best KPD in the league.

Wait - so is he overrated, or is he worth Sydney's first and change?

TB is a fantastic footballer.

No he’s not, he’s a bad last line defender imo. He’s at his best in an intercepting role

He’s a good player for sure, just not one I’d consider untouchable

He’s overrated, that doesn’t mean he sucks, he’s still a good player.

He’s not a good last line defender though and I’ve always maintained that belief, he’s at his best in an intercepting role which he hasn’t been able to play for us in a long time.

Would TB actually want to leave WA?

Don’t know about that. With 3 wins in 40, he can’t stop everything.

In a good side, he will dominate given extra pressure up the ground and the less inside 50s. Defenders can’t appear to be anything other than shite when team is doing this badly.

Issue with trading TB away is he isnt taking the opportunity away from a young player in any way. If he goes, we have no one for that role. We would basically need to trade someone in to play FB once we trade him out

This is so.

I long for the days of the 70 point losses

 

[DanWA]

Hopefully we can get a packet of twisties for pea heart Barrass

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Hopefully the AFL introduces the pick purchasing system before this year's draft.

This will allow us to trade in players using these picks and still get 4-5 in the draft

We have so many uncontacted players waiting for the CBA. Everyone of them should be on notice not to expect a big pay rise.

We are in the box seat. If we f@#$ it up the board should be spilled.

Who cares what TB wants it’s about time eagles started getting ruthless and made hard calls. We have been to much of a nice club for to long look what Collingwood did and look at them now compared to the eagles.

 

[Goroyals22]

Why have we not at least had or announced a press conference with the coach, captain,ceo and president infront of everyone answering questions..

The cone of silence isn’t going to cut it

Well seeing as you can't trade someone without their permission we should care

He’s on a five year deal so would have to agree to any trade.

Great signs from the man we traded down for

 

[Nuffington Post]

Cal Twomey believes Jed Walter could challenge for the #1 pick in an open draft. I get the sense that the gap between Reid and the rest is closing

No it’s not. Walter is the only one on Reid’s level currently and we don’t have access to him anyway

 

[dkalphy]

How is Cornes telling Reid and his family to not go wce not tampering? how is this allowed? ffs

I think kanes pushing so hard because he's knows no young player is actually going to follow through.

I mean the media is hysterical.

 

[KERRPOW]

Kelly, the ball butcher on 1mill.a season which is likely to increase due to his contract.

 

[Obeanie1]

Are you saying clubs don't tap players on the shoulder under contract and instigate a trade?


Because they do.

Usually after f#@*ing up list management.

And looks like we have royally done that.

And how? By being overly generous with the size and length of deals.

So its either make some tough decisions or strap in for a 10 year rebuild because half the talent we draft walks because we are holding onto players too long and not refreshing with youth.
