Eagles fans need to be careful with this public smashing of our club. Imagine a young draftee in Vic seeing it. F**k that I don’t wanna go to that disfunctional lot.

My theory is the elevated bashing of the Eagles from the Vic media is a poorly disguised attempt to make Harley Reid think twice
Hase thinks if we trade JD to Freo, we would have to pay some of his salary and give them a draft pick.
I know Darling has been poor but he'd still be their best forward.
“Is the currency there right now for Jack Darling? I’m not sure Fremantle, who need another key forward, would be that interested right now in Jack Darling unless the terms were in their favour - a massive salary dump and maybe a pick to come with it - because he’s just not performing.

Is the end coming quickly for West Coast’s Jack Darling?

Why the **** would we even trade out Darling, whilst giving Fremantle a pick, as well as paying a portion of his salary?
Lay off the crack please Hase.
Yes but we’ve already seen in this last draft ; players coming out and saying they don’t want to go here or there. Interstate clubs then think twice before drafting them. Safer to go home grown

So we trade out a player, pay his salary and give a draft pick?
I'd love a hit of whatever Hasleby is smoking right now.

Jack can be hell frustrating at times with his brain-glitches and rubber chest. But he's often tag teamed by 2 players, hopefully allowing Oscar more space, and of course there's all his defensive work. It's worth remembering all the bags of goals he has scored, when he's on! In our best 22 team with better mids and supply and good forwards buzzing around, he'll have a better day at the office..he's just as likely to bob up and have a good game, unless he's physically on the slide now?
Suma and The Worst are a good match for each other!
Freo all razzamatazz again after Fyfe's triumphant return and beating up Hawthorn, the bottom team...well done, how about a celebratory somersault?

I think we’d probably have to include Ginbey in the trade as well, wouldn’t we?
Apart from getting Darling and a draft pick and us paying a chunk of his salary, what’s in it for Freo?

Must be getting West Coast confused with Gold Coast... has any other club ever engaged in that kind of charity?
Feathers would probably balk at the deal and try pushing for more!
Lol -it's not like we have any salary cap pressure. You'd sooner just have a player in the WAFL then agree to that.
Hasleby is a bit of a dumbarse.

Eagles fans: Sumich suggesting West Coast should drop Darling and play one short is the stupidest idea ever.
Hasleby: Hold my beer.

Never seen a more idiotic idea.
Darling is not nearly as bad as these media nuffies are suggesting.

You can sort of understand it if we were in a salary cap squeeze, and sort of also understand it if our top pick this year would be outside the top 10...
...but in our current scenario with barely any players on top dollar and a lot of minimum wage list cloggers, and a draft pick this year that will be in the top 3? And we pay some of his salary too next year? Clearly the abundance of purple haze isn't just for one round down at Freo Oval.

To be fair, he never suggested a round 1 pick.
Ludicrous idea to be sure but pretty certain he was only suggesting a loose change pick.

Maybe at a stretch a pick 39...but anything more than a trash pick is fanciful. And even then is there a salary cap squeeze like Bowes at Gold Coast?

Very true!
That's exactly what Cornes is saying.They all just follow each other, 1 journo(
Gives Robbo a big whack here.
Jacks such a momentum player. Very Mitch Johnson like in that when he doesn’t have any form he is outta sorts but when things starts clicking he builds up momentum and becomes such a force. I’ve seen Jack fight through periods like this in the past but atm he’s probably got the biggest fight of his career since his on the other side of 30, playing injured and playing a team thats starving hom of opportunities up forward
If any of these guys bagging JD actually watched a game from a neutral standpoint they would see how many free's he doesn't get and contests he is completely shut out from illegally. Blocks, holds, arm chops, mugged in the back etc etc.
He looks at the oppo sideways and gives away a free.
It has been getting worse every year as though the opposition know they can do pretty much anything they want and will probably get away with it.
Watched the game with a few mates last week by the end of it we were just laughing about it as it was ridiculous.

I agree with the JD getting mugged constantly but he may be reaping what he sowed from the good old days of throwing your head back. Certainly doesn't seem like he gets much going his way. Not too dissimilar to Sonny Walters in that he misses out on a few from his history (not a Freo supporter),
We don't have a salary cap squeeze, a lot of our big contracts are well past their peak so will get smaller subsequent contracts and there's nobody on our list bashing down the door for a big contract.Hase thinks if we trade JD to Freo, we would have to pay some of his salary and give them a draft pick.

Why exactly do we need to trade JD as a salary dump?
Haze is as bitter as Pavlich towards the Eagles. Not at all surprising, busted their arses for that gimp team of theirs with nothing to show for it while we calmly won a couple flags.
