Gees pick 3 is going to be a gun player. Crazy from Eagles considering their current situation

Draft is apparently quite deep, but very even in the first round.

Blues have given up quite a bit to get to pick 3, they would want to nail that pick.

12 & 14, plus F1 F2 to get 14 in the first place.

Apparently the plan is draft this year, FA's/trades next year (assuming not big name FA's due to cap constraints).

Which kind of makes sense knowing the draft will be compromised again soon.

I hope we haven’t done all of this just to go the boring route and draft Finn O’Sullivan just because he is Sam Walsh

’s cousin. Sid Draper or Sam Lalor sound like they are exactly what we need and the former sounds like he can be a Round 1 starter. Hopefully every option is taken into consideration.

i could understand moving 3 to like 7 or 8. but this is a big move back for 2 guys who were out of contract. could've got baker to a draft and owies probably as a dfa.

 

[Jatz]

There was little interest in Owies, could definitely have got him as a DFA.

Utterly bizarre by the Eagles.

 

[RPCB]

chef , sounds like Matthew Kennedy is headed to the Bulldogs soon.

 

[RPCB]

All this trade period from West Coast was missing was West Coast trading for their own player.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

I was told yesterday Blues have a very tight salary, going to have to shed some players fairly cheap.

Looks like it could be Kemp and Kennedy

 

[Magma]

i was wrong. looks like pick 50 AND rory atkins

Should I be happy or sad?

We’ve already done so with Marchbank, Cuningham and Martin all being delisted. Owies is off the books and so is Kennedy now. I’d say close to $2M saved right there. All we are bringing in now are draftees and possibly a DFA. Hit free agency in 12 months is the plan.

I’ve seen the Kemp to Saints rumour (another SOS special lol), but can’t personally see it happening.

Honestly mate. Clarke and Pyke should lose their jobs, like immediately.

I'm just ... speechless. It's just so bad. I dont know what to say.

I'll miss the big lump but he's a bit limited.

There is no way that's close to 2m saved. Marchbank/Cuningham would've been on nothing. Martin's deal was front ended from memory so not much there. Owies wouldn't have been on a lot. Kennedy probably a bit more.

Would think it would be closer to 1.2ish at a guess.

 

[RPCB]

I reckon happy. He’s a decent player, not very quick but he will put in a decent shift and always gives 100%. He wants to be inside midfielder which I guess your club could provide. He was in our top 10 in the BNF this year, and he was awarded our best clubman award this year. So he’s a good character and much loved around Carlton.

 

[Jatz]

Houston gets to Collingwood.

Collingwood are in for a world of hurt in the next 1-2 years.

You’ll be surprised how much it accumulates. The average salary in the league is $440,000 and these are all senior players who received extensions and increased salaries during their time at the club. But I am happy to give you this and say, $2m might be too high a guesstimate. But $1.2M @ $240,000 on average seems too low.

Marchbank/Cuningham would've been on minimum deals. Unsure on Jack, you might be right there. With what Owies was chasing, I tend to believe he'd have been on a small deal.

I do think Kennedy was probably north of 600k.

You may well be right.

I reckon we should meet in the middle and say $1.6M. Just to be safe.

Today I finally understand what it's like to be a United fan over the past decade. Watching sheer incompetence ruin the club you support.

You don't remember the Hicks and Gillett days?

Would happily take Kemp.
Won't happen though.

I prefer to scrub that from my memory. They were truly dark days.
