A leftfield option

A leftfield option

The first clearance in that vid 😬

Read somewhere that when asked who he thinks should go #1 in the draft he answered ‘me’. I think his brother said something similar in his draft year

Sharrod Wellingham in the Western Australian suggests that WC who have picks 1, 2 and 13 trade out their number 1 or 2 pick for 2 other first round picks so that they end up with 4 picks in the top 20. Holding 7 and 8 pick would be tempting for us to make this deal if we choose to play the numbers game to acquire a player we really want.

Wellingham: Why Eagles should consider top pick split

Former Eagle Sharrod Wellingham has praised West Coast for their ‘calculated’ trade period, but says they should be open to fielding offers to split one of their first two picks in this year’s draft.

Haha going from a Petracca and an Oliver to a Phillipou may prove counter productive for our 'cultural cleanse'

Judging from Kings interview, we will go with speed ball use. Not sure which players have those qualities. Maybe Taylor would be one candidate,.

A bit off script but still to do with new players, has anybody heard how Berry is coming along. Did he play anywhere towards the end of last year?

Was watching some footage of your boy Taylor this morning - looks a jet

Do you prefer him over Lindsay?

Yes given the explosiveness he has but I'm no expert on them

I was disparaging of Robey after watching only one video, where he was super ordinary (round 19 Talent League). I've since watched and learnt more, so I now get the hype. He's a great size and has some impressive dynamic movement around contests. I've also learnt that he's very bottom age (October) and grew 20cm in a pretty short period. So, he's a great size, moves well around the contest and is a good mark. There's things I don't like, such as his kicking and he falls to ground way too often, but I do get the potential upside and power to his game.

Pretty sure he's been in the US with the whole basketball thing. Spent the last 7 years there so hasnt played any footy since his junior days.

Played the finals with a crack in his collar bone.

My player comparison for him (which only NFL fans will get) is Josh Allen. He’s huge, he’s raw, he’s powerful and will ultimately be a big test of a teams development coaching.

“Berry is expected to return to Australia in September to start preparing for pre-season training with Melbourne in November.”

Melbourne fc listed in the Insta bio so expect to see him day 1 of preseason but I don’t think cat B are allowed to play prior to signing on. Hopefully he can find his feet right away at Casey.

With Robey and CDT most likely off the board, i'm warming to selecting Sharp with a first selection. He's basically the best contested mid in the draft and something I think we need due to the loss of Oliver and Trac and Viney in his 30's. We need a side kick to Langford in the guts, and not to mention he's quite a handy defender with work rate and footy IQ also his big strengths. With Pick 8 I'm happy with Lindsay (who could be a Salem replacement in future) or Dovaston as a much needed small forward but may be too higher price for a good but not great player. Grlj is another great option with our second pick and we could possibly take Latrelle Pickett if he lasts to our pick 37.

Wish list Noah HH ,Robey and Hyphenated Picket or possibly Dovaston. Our current picks may be able to pick up two of those players. Perhaps we need to to make a deal with Essendon we get there pick 6 and 21 and a Future 2nd rounder for our pick 8 and 37 and our 1st rounder ana GWS 1st rounder. OR we deal with North we take there pick 24 and 25 for future 1st round picks ,we then swap pick 24 and 25 with Essendon pick 21.
