Wonder if Dom Sheed might be gettable. He’s from WA, but in and out of the Eagles team a lot. 23 years old so right in our age bracket too.
Nah, he ruined himself, nothing to do with GC.
Wallis would love it at essendon. Will get a game every week.
Only one problem, he’s trash.
If he manages to stay on the park, then it’s a bit of a 50/50 now I reckon. His heart is in it. It gets awfully frustrating and depressing being continuously in rehab.
Blitz last year “why aren’t we playing slow guy who can’t kick (Bird/Hocking”
Blitz this year “why aren’t we playing slow guy who can’t kick (D Clarke”
Blitz 2019 “why aren’t we playing slow guy who can’t kick [watch this space]”
Well Heppel has that role covered.
I’m not opposed to getting Wallis as a free agent. He is only 25 give him a couple of years in a new environment with spongy floors and see how he goes. At the end of the day, if he is depth only what have you lost? If we don’t land a big fish we can front load his contract for next year so he has SFA effect on 2020s cap. What have you lost really?
Cap space to get a player that actually improves the team
Laverde to FarkCarlton for pick 32.
(Laverde to FarKCarlton for Pick 22 has a nicer ring to it).
How can it be a surprise given we and the media have been talking about it for six weeks
I’ll be surprised simply because the trades that are talked about at this time of year rarely happen.

No.
Just because you don’t like the guy, there is no need for that sort of cruelty.
That was before today’s game.
On the plus side for him, he’ll never play VFL.
A Bulldogs moderator at Bigfooty claims that Wallis is gone and will most likely end up at Essendon.
The thing with Wallis is we don’t need him to be a superstar will come and play a role will apply tackles and feed the ball out offers way more than Myers imo
For some reason I thought Wallis was a bit of a ball magnet. Has only topped 30 possessions twice in his career.
We need better than that.
Wallis career Averages-
21 touches
5 tackles
1 goal
I would take that for the right price.
Just about to get his 2nd too. Good call by me. Haha.
Not recruiting any known leaders to help mentor their prodigious young talent and subsequently having one of the poorest off-field cultures is the main culprit I’d say.
Gary Ablett
Jared Brennan
Jared Harbrow
Campbell Brown
Nathan Bock (didn’t play a game)
Michael Rischitelli
Carmichael Hunt
Not their fault no one wanted to really go there.
Apart from that 1 shocking against North his last few weeks have been trending upwards imo
