Same, I can almost guarantee we'll take Hough with 29 and we typically take contested players late in the draft.

I was thinking bazzo myself and hough at 35

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

In terms of rankings going into tonight I'd have;

Tier 1 talent
Johnson
Goater
Draper
Bazzo
Sonsie
*Players are in order of talent

Tier 2 talent
Taylor
Knevitt
Fahey (GWS Academy)
Roberts
Murley
MacDonald
Clarke
Owens (Saints Academy)
Windhager (Saints Academy)
Dittmar
Howes

Tier 3 Talent
Soligo
Rankin
Hough
Curtis
Butler
Conway
Long
Dean (Haven't seen him play VFL so he could be tier 1)
Molan
Warner
Banks
Tunstill

Ideally we can land a tier 1 by trading up or one landing in our lap, and a tier 2 with our next if we haven't used it trying to get a tier 1.

 

[THE A5]

Would recruiting Clark basically render West obsolete? Don't see the need for both on the list.

Nah West becomes the new whipping boy once we turn him into a defensive mid

 

[Bender_]

jetta couldn't cut it as a mid . Are you trying to prove my point ?

He was AA with 40 goals off the wing with Sydney in 2012, pretty sure he could "cut it".

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Jetta couldnt cut it? LOL.

I'll take a two times premiership wing / HFF / HBF with that skill set any day.

Because we sure dont have it now do we?

I'll take 17 Jetta possessions over 30 Gaff possessions every day. Impact per possession way better than Gaff. Team moves forward fast, not sideways slowly.

We traded for jetta and was in and out of the side for 2 years trying to play wing . It wasn't until he was put back that he excelled for us .

Your saying chesser is an outside mid in one breath then revert to he plays like jetta a Low disposal high impact HBF .

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

He was AA with 40 goals off the wing with Sydney in 2012, pretty sure he could "cut it".

Jetta was the deepest forward playing pagans paddock even though that was on the wing . He would then race back to goal trying to get behind the last defender .

@codesportsau


Fingers crossed it isnt dragged out further lol

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'd be stoked if Chesser turned out to be half the weapon and player Jetta was.

However, both of them do nothing to address our contested ball, tackling and clearances weakness.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Chesser does address an area of desperate need IMO. He said in one of those interviews that he's most comfortable on the wing, and besides gaff we've basically had a revolving door of part-timers/ spuds through that position, none of whom had anything resembling speed.

I'm pumped. The guy seems like a great dude (culture is important to success, and maybe we lost a bit of this when Masto, Jetta, and Shcoey got the boot), and will hopefully help us address our woefully slow/stagnant ball movement.

I agree. The doubters see a HB. He only was a part time HB. I see a right footed winger. Something we have cried out for. He also sees himself as a mid when he strengthens up.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I'm confused how did we end up buying a Great Wall ute, i thought we were after a Gogomobile?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Goddammit, a Great Wall has even less re-sale value than Brander.

 

[bzparkes]

Knightmare also had chesser falling out of his power rankings entirely after not being impressed with him this year i believe so hopefully he's wrong on him

Pretty sure I read that he only watched video of him and never saw him live, hence the rating. Can't rate someone you don't get an opportunity to watch I guess.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Don’t know a lot about Hough, would you be happy with him in front of say roberts, Taylor or dittmar?

 

[Opposite Kids]

2 hours to go....

 

[Astro7]

Okay, come on Eagles, lets pick up a REAL midfielder now...............for the midfield!
That still leaves you room for your tall pick and your left right out pick...?

Might be related to the outbreak at Carlton

 

[bzparkes]

FTFY

 

[Farang83150]

Surely we trade up

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Just had a thought, after drafting a key forward and trying to turn him into a defensive wing, any chance that now we’ve drafted a wing/halfback we’ll try to turn him into a centre half-forward?

 

[The_Gambler]

only if he can’t cut it as a wing/halfback, then yes we will try him in another position. If doesn’t cut it in that position, delist

 

[Obeanie1]

You want to win a wafl premiership?

Every team needs role players.

 

[Farang83150]

Hurn's no spring chicken and if the rumour about Shep happens I guess the cheese man's cover in the long-term.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I was joking, but oh good we’re already talking about delisting the first round pick we took yesterday.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

So as we are with state of play, here are the list changes


And here is our list profile with an assumed 5 picks available to us today, Friday and supplemental. I have updated where I categorise some players (Foley and Snake as Utility). For the current balanced or inside mids under 28 come end 2022, we have 4 who have played less than 15 games for our club (OK SPS has played some for Carlton but he was last playing VFL and is a hope not any certainty).

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I was joking, but oh good we’re already talking about delisting the first round pick we took yesterday.

I am not reading it that way. Gross disappointment we did not address our Achilles Heel. Chesser will be good. When we did the mock WCE draft, I took him at 24 for Geelong and was very happy to do so. I am not hearing delisting calls, I am hearing regret calls.
