Xavier Ellis officially signed

[jaxxon]

One swallow doesn't make a summer.

 

[Spooky17]

Best Signing we have had in 10 Years. Watch him tear it up this season

Let's hope it's not a hammy we're talking about

 

[bkozican]

Watching this bloke makes me think that we have done pretty well in the off season this year.....Good times coming

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Hopefully his body can hold up getting on a plane every second week, can be a massive pick up if he plays a high percentage of the games this year, giving him 1 year was the way to go, beats having the play Ash Smith

Brings a lot of footy smarts, class and composure that we sorely lack.

Ash Smith.. can we delist him already!? Waste of a spot.

 

[lmach]

Delist Smith? Surely you aren't serious.

 

[Prem87]

He's shown crap all

 

[Eastern Rangers]

If we have designs of Yeo playing up the ground then Smith quickly comes back into contention.

But we have Carter, Wilson and Brennan instead.

I'd have Smith ahead of all of them... Except maybe Carter.

Lol Wilson and Brennan. Both delisted at the end of the year.

Heard rumours B.Gibbs is looking elsewhere next year, although would be almost a certainty to head to one of the S.A clubs. Cant hurt offering him some coin to join the Eagles, would be an awesome pickup in my opinion. Play him off the back and watch these arguments about who of Smith, Brennan, or Wilson is the awesomest disappear, as all 3 would be delisted.

him playing off the half back is the whole reason he has been a rubbish #1 pick. Ratten hindered his development doing this for 5 years. He should be played in the guts and a fresh start at the Eagles in the guts would be ideal.

Would be a good pick up but i think we would be needing cash to pay Hurn, Nic Nat and Gaff.

should have some cash free after glass retires (not to mention what we've already made available with kerr, nickoski, selwood all leaving).

Very true didn't take that into account.

Surely we'd be looking at securing a gun player over the next couple years with all this free money?

Probably need a bit to secure Nic

At ~$5m for 4-5 years, I'd say so. Hope we have a good injury clause in that contract, a la Ellis.

Also, that would leave Naitanui at 28-29 when the contract expires, which seems... risky as far as free agency goes.

 

[INSANE]

Look at GC. Matera, Bennell and Swallow all out of contract. Have a feeling one of them will be an Eagle one day.

In order would prefer

Bennell
Swallow
Matera

Wouldn't mind getting in the ear of Coniglio as well to entice him home.

And O'Meara. And Martin for that matter.
