Mega Thread Trade/Draft SuperMegaUltraThread - 2015 trade period edition

Who is he, seems a bit intangible if he hasn't come up on any of the phantoms.

Blargh!

 

[Keys]

Do colledge is so slow he even stalled the draft tracker

 

[erbenz]

Blargh!

IT WAS ABSOLUTE TRASH AND YOU KNEW IT.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Ryan Davis, still can't believe that. Six years out of the AFL and he's back.

It really was a weak draft.

 

[Chris_6678]

Meh happy with what we got. Next year i hope we go for some more talls for down back.

 

[liam123]

I'm happy with that

 

[Sammy J]

No love for Newman? Thought he showed a bit last season as sub

 

[Carbine Chaos]

So happy that Ryan Davis got picked up! Definite AFL quality.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Snadden a good pick up, Waterman a gimme, the other two a waste of time..

 

[Galileo9]

taking Colledge with our second makes no sense to me

Hmmm he had a contract and therefore a commitment?

So makes perfect sense if that's the case.

As for the rest, it's a rookie spot. You never know he might come on and clearly Eagles hierarchy thinks so. That there is something to work with.

 

[The wily weagle]

I really like our first pick, snadden has alot of upside and is a great size for a mid. Seriously though, what's with redrafting the other list cloggers? Waterman, maybe. The other two are just taking up list space

Couldnt agree more. Playing it safe with the known quantities.. Wouldve left Colledge 'til last in the hope someone else took him. Tunners *yawn*

 

[bodazoka]

Like Snadden's height, seemed to be able to get a handball out in traffic also.

Or maybe the Eagles thought Tunbridge was better than the other available options at rookie pick 61 in a draft so weak Ryan Davis was drafted 23 picks higher

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

So, Newman's career officially came to an end.

It's strange he ended on such a quiet note considering how much drama his career has had.

 

[dispute]

Like Snadden's height, seemed to be able to get a handball out in traffic also.

His inside work is Sheed/Priddis like. Tries to hold on to the ball as long as possible while trying to find the right option. Has 2 good blokes and the coaches to help him get to the next level.

 

[Chris_6678]

At least we have a bunch of big mids now.

I think with College and Tunbridge we at least know if we have to call up on them through injury we know that they can at least be capable unlike some raw rookie would end up drafting. We have to remember we are in flag mode so we need mature bodies at our disposal.

 

[SpaceClef]

Luke Hodge and who else?

 

[squashface]

Hmmm he had a contract and therefore a commitment?

So makes perfect sense if that's the case.

leave him until our last pick just in case someone takes a punt? I know Essendon had interest.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Did Tunbridge ever share a house with McGinnity? I think Tunners may have acquired a set of prints from McSpud's collection! Can not see any reason to select him ahead of Shaw.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Tunnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Jordan Snadden (2/8/1997. 190cm, 79kg. East Fremantle)

Medium midfielder

AFL biography: Quick medium midfielder who plays with aggression, particularly in contested situations when the ball is there to be won. Uses his speed to break away from stoppages, putting a gap on his opponents before disposing of the ball. AFL Academy member.

"Jordan has explosive pace. He can break lines and he has a penetrating kick. He plays outside the game at this stage, and he's a quiet, diligent worker. With a bit of self confidence he could really be the surprise packet at this year's draft."

Raff Guadagnino, WA talent manager

[Ambrose Burnside]

Lets remember that one golden moment.

I was at that game too. Nearly abused Woosha after that "performance" by the team. Nearly.

Stop Essendon pouncing
