EFA

1st Round pick, Martin & Guelfi
for
Harley Reid
Three players who would all be in the WEagles best 22 for Reid. That is a steep price to pay.
I read somewhere we had a few key players we were looking for, does anyone have any idea who they are? Surely a key forward/key defender?
no one in the market really attracts me, i personally think we keep developing reid cox and co
McGovern, Zac Williams + Carlton’s No.1 pick for Harley Reid ?
Edit…jokes
Worth it, kid is unique
Lukosious someone ill desperately try to bring in if im in charge
They’re waisting him up forward, he was starting to come on nicely when on the halfback flank and working up the wings
him as a half word along with langford and perkins will be absolutely deadly
Hope we’re not tempted to chase Gresham. A high-quality free agent small forward makes sense, but I don’t think he’s that player for us.
About to re-sign with Saints i think

Or Dodoro could draft another stick who takes 5 years to develop their body to be even remotely competitive at AFL level.
Perkins and Hobbs aren’t sticks. Neither was Tsatas. Talls take longer; which talls were available at our picks that are doing so much better? If you want talls with elite talent, they mostly take time.

Pittonet just signed for 4 years.
TDK might be considering his future. We have the cap space for $700-$800k a year on a long contract. It’s a yes for me.
Despite being older he wasn’t doing much more than Bryan at VFL level.
I did this for another thread, thought I’d post it here as is interesting given all the attention Tom De Koning has been getting. Is the VFL performances for both players across 2021 to 2023. Averages of course.
Worth noting that Tom was drafted two years before Bryan, is about 20 odd months older, and played in his first 3 seasons 2, 7 and 13 AFL games. No idea if his VFl results are distorted due to any reasons (e.g. injury, low TOG).
Player Games Kicks Handballs Disposals Marks Hitouts Tackles Goals Behinds Tom De Koning 6 8.0 4.7 12.7 3.2 20.7 2.2 0.7 0.8 Nick Bryan 26 9.8 5.0 14.8 3.7 33.5 2.4 0.0 0.0 Difference - 1.8 0.3 2.1 0.5 12.9 0.2 -0.7 -0.8
Interesting stats and point taken but there’s always an argument to be had with taking on any player.
The last few years just to name a couple have been Dunkley and De Goey which would be amazing players for us.
Flip will possibly retire this year or next and we are light on for talls.
From all reports we have the cap space and the kids 23 which fits our age demographic.
IMO I think the kid has a lot of potential and it sounds like there’s a chance to pry him off FC.
Yeah he might cost us our pick 10ish but watch dodoro pick Reid’s slim brother with that pick or similar which will take 3-4 years to get their body fit for afl.
Under contract but I’d be making an enquiry with Bailey Williams management. He is a beast, great age to partner with Draper long term. His forward craft isn’t bad either.
he is one of the worst players in the league
I think he can play, he was excellent last night.

Does this mean you have given up on getting Gresham? I remember you were pushing his case a year or so ago.
no one in free agency class this year worth splashing money for, none of them
I say so
