FA & Trade Whispers

If this rumour turns out to be true, and I'm skeptical about it at the moment, it seems to be an odd move from an Eagles perspective.  He might have had an inconsistent season, but Kennedy is approaching 30 and they don't have a great deal else in terms of key forwards coming through the ranks.

Obviously this rumour would also make some Dees fans nervous, as the Eagles being willing to entertain trade offers for Darling might suggest they believe they are in the box seat to lure Hogan west.

So am I, but after Franklin and Tom Boyd nothing would surprise me any more, I would forget Lamb and make a play for Darling if rumours are correct

They may be looking to beat Freo to the punch with Cam McCarthy?

Rory Lobb is getting talked about a lot.

Aaron Black from North on the move?

Mason Shaw had a good year in the WAFL,

There could be a few other options that they may also be looking at and after Darling's last two finals, I'm not surprised they're looking to move him on.

All fair points there AAC.  I hadn't put a great deal of thought into it, and obviously missed a number of players that they could also pursue that aren't named 'Hogan'.

I'd certainly take a look at him, but I'm not sure if we could come up with a trade that the Eagles would find satisfactory.

Er....Hogan if he decides to go.....for Darling and Lamb and a pick?

Well of course, if Hogan decided to go, then I'd certainly look at Darling and their first round pick.  I'd even try and see if we could squeeze someone better than Lamb out of them to go with the deal as well.

Lots of water to go under the bridge yet and, as AAC pointed out, there are plenty of KPP's that may want to head home to Perth during this off season.

WC have pick 12. So it would be Hogan for pick 12 + Darling and Lamb.

I still think thats unders for Hogan. Call me stubbon but id have McGovern instead of Darling.

I'd have McGovern, Darling, Kennedy, Gaff, Shuey et al.........my personal favourite would be to see Luke Parker, after he picks up his Premiership medal next weekend, that he fancies a change and would like a trade to Melbourne........and then I wake up unfortunately

Surely Rory Lobb wouldn't entertain leaving the Giants after missing out on a GF berth by a solitary goal?

He's had a great year there.

Definitely...

It might also be why the Eagles would move Darling. McGovern is a natural at CHF...

This is the problem I have with managers these days, starting to go the way of European soccer, the player might not consider it but a manager might have his ear bent and he only sees the dollar signs, and convinces the player,  no manager becomes a manager for altruistic reasons

Duggan , McGovern and Pick 12 for Hogan. No less

Duggan is average and doesn't add much at all to that deal for me. Would still rather we hold onto Hoges.

McGovern WILL NOT BE LEAVING WCE.

THIS IS NOT THE [censored] HOGAN thread.

Carry on...

Apparently he responds very well to a roasting.

Cam Macarthy has 72% goal kicking accuracy in his 2015 season (36g14b). I'd definitely make a play for him if I were WCE.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
