why would he want to leave the Eagles?

lol, no. he would be absolutely crazy to leave now. theyre every chance to go back to back and then some
Isnt he 32 this year? Would the eagles offer him another long term deal?
Virtually zero chance, the only possibility would be if Woosha convinces him to do a Sam Mitchell/Luke Hodge and come across as a playing/coach, which virtually zero.
Canāt have them all, Iād love jackets to pull something from nowhere though.
Would have to lose a decent young player plus picks it seems.
We also do have two x 2nd rounders that could get upgraded to a 1st, especially with the academy clubs or someone with a f/s selection.
Unless Jack Martin grows 6-7cm and puts on 10kgās over this season then he isnāt what we need.

Iād take him if he lost 5kgs and shrunk a couple of cms.
193 cm and 93 kgās thatās a big mid.
Still smaller than Cripps.
Well all mids are smaller than Cripps. Maybe blivcas?
So the rumours of Martin wanting a trade to Essendon were true.
I guess Sheil nominating Essendon threw the Martin trade out the window. Just no way we were able to get Shiel and Martin
Weād need to free up some space in the cap and find some trade currency in order to have another crack at him. Thereāll be plenty of clubs heavily into him and I doubt he will be entertaining us as a realistic option.
I just hope it isnāt Hawthorn that poaches him, but Iāve got a feeling.
Gold Coast had just lost their 2 captains. they were pretty hostile to us with the idea of losing Jack, who was under contract. we were after a gun mid and i dont think Dodoro was expecting Shiel to pick us with the offers on the table. so the next on the list was Jack
would absolutely love to have him at the club but its highly unlikely. he would have to sign a 1-2 year deal with the Suns and wait till we had the currency.
he will probably go to Hawthornā¦

Anybody rate him? Unrestricted free agent so wouldnāt have to trade.
Predictable, but very sad. I really really really rate Martin, and heās started to show why this year.
If we donāt get him, I hope he stays at the Suns.

Bring me Clugg. I want Clugg.
Hearing Jordan Galluci is gettable. Not too pleased with playing SANFL footy.
Mozzie/Ham probably means that we donāt need small forwards/half-forward flankersā¦maybe if Gallucci is going to be a midfielder, but he would be another smallish oneā¦in the end, other clubs probably out-bid us in terms of $, senior opportunities.
Youāve got me thinking though - what player types do we get with say our next 3 draft picks/trades?
I rate him as a wing/HFF, surprised he canāt get a game for the Crows considering theyāre not exactly setting the world on fire at the moment.
But, Adelaide would want more than he is worth to us, and theyād probably prefer one of our āgettableā SA boys - Redman, Francis, Draper who wonāt/shouldnāt be on the table. I donāt think theyād be interested in Houlahan unfortunately.
