According to Cal T. :

”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

It'll be pick 7 or 8 after bids, cursed lifted...!

No way! I don't see any upside to this at all.  There will be a good player available at six - take him. Why take a punt that could go wrong?

Hold onto the picks we have unless we can snag pick 1. I would much prefer two high quality players at 6 and 11 than one with pick 2/3.

The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

It is not the justification, as no one would take a dud in the hope you could swap him.

Curtin was suggested to be as good as  Reid by some pundits.

It’s more an insurance bonus if homesickness leads him to want to return to WA.

If he is available at our pick I would think we probably take him and swapping him later with Reid would not enter into the drafting discussion.

The Eagles will offer it for every spot that Curtin is available, but I’m not convinced we take it. Especially not straight up.

That said, if there’s no one left that we rate in the elite crop we have a choice to make between:

1. Moving back the prized part of the Jackson trade back one year further 

2. Taking Curtin who seems to be increasing his flight risk level to a fairly high level, which means he could be gone inside 3 years. Could all be rubbish, but the player manager played his cards strongly. 

Im always of the belief you draft interstate talent unless you think it’s inevitable. Curtin could be flirting with it. Only those with inside knowledge would know.

I’m hoping JT and Co have someone else in the top bracket they want instead and take the pick.

Curtin’s manager said he has talked to the Dees, and that they said they would take him at 6, if he’s still there.

Skip ahead to about 10.30 in.

Melbourne #6 -> North

North #2 #6 -> West Coast (= Curtain & satisfies their want for 2 top 10 picks)

West Coast #1 -> North (= Reid)

North & West Coast Future First Rounds -> Melbourne

 

Would you?

No

That's potentially pick 1 and 2 in next year's draft. You'd have to look at it

WC 2024 first rounder is 95% to be either pick 1 or 2. most likely 1.

Suns, Freo, Hawks, bombers will all improve

You may well turn out to be right. The wildcard is what Free Agency compo picks get dealt out by AFL House.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
