2017/2018 Trades,Drafting and Off Season Discussion Thread

[LF]

So let's discuss what Eagles need to do at the trade and draft table

[jvalles69]

Out: Wellingham, Hill, Masten
In: honestly can't see anyone that would help us Fasolo maybe, but think he'll stay at the Pies.

Reckon you need some more mid depth someone like Miles will be up for grabs

If you guys got offered pick 7 or 8 from the saints for Gaff would you guys take it do you think?

Apparently we were offered that plus Acres already and knocked it back

Honestly, I love Gaffy but if he did actually leave I don't think it's that much of a loss as silly as that might sound. I'd be gutted to lose him, but he is replaceable

As for what we need, with Pridda and Smitch gone how does our midfield look now?

Shuey leading Redden, Sheed and not much more. Gaff plays outside and Hutch gets in there a bit, but overall that's a pretty underwhelming midfield, but I can't see us getting an established gun mid unfortunately

Yeo will need to spend more time in the mids you'd think

NN & Shuey are going to be extremely vital next year

Partington should get a significant run in the midfield by the look of it?

Yeah he'll get more games, but it's basically Shuey or bust

Acres was never 'offered'. He was just apart of the trade rumor because he's from WA.

"Apparently"

Just going by what some Saints guy in the know said according to Kyle

Anyway, it's irrelevant really because nothing came from it

Yeah was just a rumor circulating from the half-wits from bigfooty. They all shut up about it once he signed for an extra 2 years.

I could see Gaff for 7/8 happening though. It'll allow you guys to worry about your inside game with 2 guns retiring. Jetta just needs to step up if Gaff leaves.

Any mature agers out there worth grabbing?  Priddis came in and gave instant impact, maybe thats what we need again till the kids get some games into them.

I'd be stoked with Tim Kelly at Freo, I'd be chasing him if i was west coast

Surely the return of NicNat has to have an impact - Redden good SC and DT prospect?
