It's interesting, my brother in law is a mad eagles member/supporter and I was talking to him about S.Selwood last night. He couldn't care if Selwood left, he said Shuey would hurt Selwood not so. Reckons if we gave up a first round pick we have been robbed. I personally think we rate players from other teams a lot higher then they actually are because our cattle is so far below the afl standard.

Yeah, I think I'd want a high pick and a player of Shuey or Selwood's calibre. I wouldn't give up pick #2 for just one of them I don't think.

So... you're saying Scott Selwood is Jordie McKenzie..?

Paul Roos was spotted in the Perth suburb of Claremont today having a Chai Latte with Scott Selwood. The new Melbourne coach had made the trip west to have a chat with Jesse Hogan whilst the young Demon was holidaying in his native state, though also took the opportunity to catch up with Selwood, who is alleged to be warm to the idea of a return back to Victoria. No doubt that Melbourne would need to depart with pick no. 2 for the emerging midfielder should any deal between the two clubs eventuate.

Hmmm plot thickens.... You sure it was a chai latte??

Thank you Markc and Greeny.

I don't do Facebook, but am I right to say it's a far from reliable source for the trade/draft period ?

dont be seduced by the surname. should not be mentioned in the same breath as swallow, adams, martin when discussing trade options.

You obviously don't watch WCE games, he just had his breakout year (the stats i've shown above support this perfectly), he's also super impressive on the track and an ideal bloke you would want around your club.

I believe the same source said on Friday night that Voss had signed on with Collingwood as an assistant coach.

That should give you an indication.

Either it's really good and the mainstream media isn't onto Vossy 4+ days later... or it's highly unreliable.

Selwood has just as many runs on the board as these blokes and just as much potential.

Whilst I now agree that pick 2 in itself would be overs, I still believe Selwood comes into calculations bundled with other picks/trades from the Eagles.

Not just this season he stepped up well in 2012 and maintained his good form into this season

He'd be a good pickup, but i'm not sure of handing over pick 2 for Selwood alone, i wonder if we could do 2 and a player for selwood and 8?

I'd happily give up pick 2 for selwood and their 2nd rounder (mid 20's). Selwood is already a gun and exactly what we need to help out Jones.

Would love Scooter Selwood, but this talk of pick 2 is madness. He's a handy player but is unlikely to become a top 20 mid. A pick 2 mid should.

Pick 2 and 20 for Selwood and 6 is the only way I'd entertain giving them pick 2.

Better players available!

Don't believe it people. Sell wood going nowhere.

Word out of West Coast from Tim Gossage on Sen is that he may be made captain and staying put.

Those Footy Trade Facebook pages are generally made up by kids.

Lmao nice copy and paste from facebook!

Scott Selwood is currently in Melbourne with family to support his brothers.

oh and btw that facebook page is the biggest [censored] talker going around. basically he makes up all his rumours.

He is currently better then all 3 of those blokes.

According to his brother Troy on SEN this morning, Selwood won't be moving. As well as being mid-contract & happy at WCE, his recently retired brother Adam will likely remain at the Eagles in an off-field role.

That interview is probably up at the SEN website by now for those interested enough

Right age, hard tackler, wins his own ball and is an excellent tagger if needed. Honestly, if a fair deal can be brokered, we will benefit massively! 2nd round pick is fair compensation or worst case a swap of first round picks. We put too much value on high draft picks in the AFL as most players taken in the top 10-15 work out well.

Look at the NFL system and they can (and do) trade picks right up to the last minute in the draft.

A few things; this trade is unlikely, a 2nd round pick is not fair compensation, pick 15 is not a second round pick, and your point about the NFL is a tangent. I don't know how it follows what you were saying about the worth of these kids.

Not discussed in the same breath as Swallow? Whys that? Do you even watch football? He is 10 times the player Swallow is. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous. Adams may become the better player but so far Selwood is far superior

selwood has been playing for several seasons and in my opinion has reached his potential. a bit of a brent moloney type. the 3 i mentioned have far more upseide and show more class in what they do. Just too young to do it consistently yet. I watch a lot of football. You are "prendergast" in your talent spotting abilities.
