News Wellingham traded to Eagles for pick 17

[robertto]

important to remember that pick 17 is actually pick 19, because Jager O'mera and Couch would have been taken in this draft if it weren't for the minidraft.


having said that, i still think pick 19 is overs.

 

[Forget the Stats]

Once

Was BOG Round 1 2002 and the East Perth President came out and declared that was the last time he'd ever play for them

Yep and its one of my favourite Judd stories. Didn't he kick four goals in that game? You got the impression that all his team mates we just in awe.

Isn't this also a 'compromised' draft due to the concessions received by GWS?

Actually that was probably last year..

 

[fryzie]

Good forward pressure
Good kick

Not sure if it's been posted by anybody yet but I came across this little gem after watching your clip:

Come on mate get realistic and stop under valuing?

Last 10 number 19's

Kavanagh
Smith
Griffiths
Strauss
Ward
Grigg
Dempsey
Willits
Mundy
Troy Selwood

Yep so who would you take before Wellingham??

David Mundy. Thats it.

So we have 1/10 chance of grabbing a better player and that is without taking into account Sharrods upside. Definately worth it.

And once the Goddard compo pick is added, it'll be out to pick 20.

This deal's getting better all the time!

And that's not even taking into account the fact that he'll slot straight into the midfield and is the type of player everyone wanted after we got beaten in the finals.

When we win the flag no one will care what we paid for him.

I think that's too simplistic. Plenty of clubs struggle with talent identification and development. Better off looking at what picks we've had around that mark in the last decade or so.

Brown (16), Kerr (18), Shuey (18), Butler (20), Swift (20), Notte (20), Selwood (22), Weedon (22), Stevens (23), Newman (23), Darling (26), McKinley (29), Mackenzie (29), Rosa (29), Lycett (29).

Notte (20). Weedon (22)

It fell off when he ducked....

Thats a fair call if you want to go down that path.

I think 4 are certainly better ( Kerr, Schuey, EMac and Darling) a couple questionable ( Butler, Brown and Rosa ) and no doubt Sharrod is better than at least 4 off them IMO.

regardless of what sort of player pick 17 might turn out to be, we can win a premiership in the next 2 seasons. We dont have the luxury of sitting around for 3-4 years like Swift hoping they develop. We need an established mid who can be part of our best 22 this season and we got 1.

The reactions from some Eagles supporters would almost have you believe we gave up picks 1 and 3 or something.

 

[eagles rule]

Glad we caved in and traded pk 17 ..

lol at your lol.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Rubbish. Anyone of our midfielders would have stood out like the proverbial for Port Adelaide this season.

Trade Ebert for Priddis. Would the results of the respective clubs be similar?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

lol at your lol.

We "could" win a flag in the next two years.

Boy you've got your negative nancy hat on tonight EH.

Being a negative nancy but I think we're a long, long ways off challenging.

What, no LeCras or Kennedy for the majority of the year and finish a game out of top 4, bring in a 92 game player and we're not at least as good off as this season for next?

Top 4 in 2011
Missed top 4 by a game in 2012

How are we a long, long way off challenging?
