I just don't understand how they think pick 7 & 8 were on the table for the eagles Is he assuming trac comes back to the dees then cos otherwise there was no way the petracca deal gets done I understand being all in and wanting the best for your club but it doesn't mean the other clubs vanish into thin air there's a much bigger picture at play in the trade and draft season and even with a .1% chance of this happening I can't imagine the AFL wouldn't find out eventually

I found this article quite funny to read. This Eagles member/supporter wanted 7 & 8 from Gold Coast for West Coast’s word that they wouldn't bid on Uwland and Patterson. https://www.theroar.com.au/2025/11/28/the-eagles-botched-the-2025-national-draft-heres-how/

XT wearing 19 on Friday, mihocek in the 5

Dylan alexander did a phantom draft on Dan gorringes podcast and has us taking grlj and dovaston

Melbourne is one of the clubs that has an interest in 17 year old Irishman Kobe McDonald. Report: Irish gun set to join the AFL

No chance Essendon is taking cumming over Robey I'd be ecstatic if they did but I think it's a very long shot

https://youtu.be/Iv2nTWXkwcw?si=_boD4pkxeWTx_b0g Has us taking Dyson Sharp and Josh Lindsay

The highlights may not show what people are looking for but Imv he is a point of difference to our current young mids He plays differently to pickett Langford Lindsay and Windsor He probably ends up being an upgrade on the type of player we want tholstrup to be

Zero hanger is crazy They have us taking Schubert and Philippou which isn't that bad But they have Cooper duff Tytler going the pick after our 2 picks Surely if CDT is still available we take him

Any 2 from this group would be good Robey, Grlj, Lindsay, Cumming, Hibbins-hargreaves, X. Taylor, Greeves, Dovaston, Farrow Whether we trade up or hold our picks and see what falls through the cracks

My complete guesswork prediction Melb give: Petracca, 24, 28, 42, 2027 3rd round pick GCS give: 7, 8, 36, 2026 first round, 2027 second round

If we are only getting a late pick I hope we're not paying the speculated amount even if it comes to be some type of agreement where it's 600k yr 1 then 400k for the next 2 years and then 200k for the final years or if to fill cap space the front end a majority of what we owe early to clear it off the cap faster

Pick 24 is the first pick of the second night of the draft even if we don't have a player still on the board it could end up being very valuable ie. North and Richmond last year North traded pick 27 last year (Matt Whitlock) for what ended up being pick 3 Should be holding onto pick 24 and give them 28 and 42 Hopefully whatever the return from Oliver is will end up being the Kalani white pick

Tom Morris says that if we ask for Humphrey for Petracca, GCS walk away from the deal.

Forwards looking good, interesting that Marty hore seems to be training as a forward

For a cat B could we have a look at one of the Irish lads that tested at the combine Eoin McEvoy and David colbert

I think there's a good chance we take Tauru at 5 if he's still there

SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft has us taking Josh Smillie with 5 (6), and Jobe Shanahan with 9 (11). SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft Richmond take Harvey Langford with 6 (7) and Alix Tauru with 10 (12).

I'd say we are going mids with both picks especially if our pursuit of Wade derksen continues unless tauru available at 9, My thoughts on who we might select in order of preference 5, Lalor,Smith,Langford,Smilie 9, Bo Allan, Reid, Tauru, Hotton,Lindsay , Travaglia

If we are still pursuing derksen from gws next year assuming Tauru is gone I think we draft 2 midfielders At 9 we would potentially select Allan Hotton Reid Lindsay travaglia

This line of thought has me wondering how the list management and talent scouts see Wade derksen as an option are we in for the long haul with the pursuit of Derk if so then surely mids

Some highlights from the VFL https://www.afl.com.au/video/1155593
