No chance anyone else is picking up a guy with severe health issues. Eagles will likely rookie list him and give him time to get himself right

If a team medically clears him then they would rookie list him

 

[Warhorse]

No star but a very good role player in the right team. I could see him as a 3rd tall working alongside the key forwards at Carlton for example.

Shame about the health issues and dissappointing to see the relationship breakdown with West Coast

Chris Waterman's already gone on radio and said the 'miscommunication' with the club has been cleared up. This is old news.

Jake's already been back at the club this week.

So is he expected to play any footy remainder of this year?

Hasn't been ruled out at this stage.

Out indefinitely.

Will be on a rookie list next year IMO.

Eagles or someone else's.

Probably in the WAFL.

Don't think he will have any clubs chasing him tbh

The Eagles might keep him on as a rookie as goodwill but yeah, no other team is taking him on.

 

[HTPunter]

If healthy then I don’t see how he isn’t in the top 700 odd players in the country.

He’s serviceable.

I’d think the Eagles have far more issues than him (health permitting).

Waterman accepts fresh West Coast deal after trade talk

UPDATED: Jake Waterman has agreed to a two-year deal to remain at West Coast just a day after deciding to test the trade market.

thewest.com.au

Freo, Hawks, Adelaide and Essendon all interested apparently.

 

[Joao]

Gross, try harder Eagles.

 

[kaiserchief13]

He's probably worth about pick 40 but if so many clubs interested could he fetch pick 25 or so?

 

[bzparkes]

Surely wouldn't be trying for a trade if he didn't have an offer, you'd think.

Started like a house on fire early season before his health issue derailed his season.

Wouldn't expect to get much in a trade but if he can get a decent contract, then I wish him all the best.

Looks like he will go elsewhere

Just agreed to terms about 10 minutes after the first article came out...

Mitchell Woodcock is such a dropkick journo.

Either someone set him up or that's pure amateur hour.

Maybe he hit the post button on his tweet instead of delaying it until tomorrow..

Weird how he said it's been 24 hours since Waterman initially said he was interested in a trade then immediately followed up with the confirmation that he's staying.

 

[Joao]

They did it! Well done Eagles and great reporting.

And so ends the great Jake Waterman trade saga.

How good is Mitch Woodcock.....

Seems he spent more time re-writing the headline than he did researching the article.

Woodcock's the john ralph of WA!

 

[The Falcon Strike]

After finding myself easily confused by heath streaks death and Kamahl’s voting intentions…

Can someone let me know what Jake is doing
