Where does the list sit after the trade week, and what are our options.

Yeah I am hoping that we delist a couple more so we can use pick 67 and PSD #1

Would be quite happy if one was used on Wilkes (hopefully pick 67)

Actually, I reckon we'd miss out on him at #67 in the ND, especially in this draft.

I'd much prefer he put himself into the PSD only, where we would be a certainty to get him with our pick #1.

correct but better to have a lot of talls around the same age than none at ball. at least you solve your problem down the track rather than still be in the probem down the track.

it seems no one has a problem loading up with smalls mediums all around the same age but dont want to load up with talls when good ones are even harder to find.

due to terrible list management we have age gaps in our list theres not a lot you can do about it so we have to live with it. taking players because they fit a certain age bracket is fraught with danger. you take them because of their ability.

It is easier to find role for small mids because there are more of them on the field at any one time and they are more flexible in use. JR, Schulz and Hughes are not helped by the fact they are essentially competing for the same spot. It's not a huge issue though, no reason to not draft people.

if jr schulz and hughes are good enough theres 2 possies there for them now chf and third tall option if they are versatile theres also third tall in defence available. look at wce they have 7 kpd theres only a place for 3 in the team. 6 kpf again theres only room for 3 in the team they have just 2 ruckmen its here where they are deficient.

with rookies they have 17 190cm+ players and yet they are still deficient in one area ruckmen. 7 of their talls are very much development players its here where they will continue to turn over their talls those that show enough are kept those that dont are delisted traded. you also get the odd one who is good enough but cant get a regular game so hes traded and you guessed it for a earlyish pick.

They do have the advantage though that they can distribute their talls throughout the WAFL and they don’t have to worry about two guys in one position at the Burg. But as I said, it’s not a huge issue.

To bad he wouldn't last to 67
I'd be happy to use PSD #1 on Wilkes provided there wasn't anyone better, I would still like to use 67 in this draft

When is the nomination of PSD???
 
Please refer to the linked list of dates.

http://www.puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=28730.0

To be of best advantage to the RFC, Wilkes would be best nominating straight after the National Draft on November 24th, and before the next deadline of December 7th, 2pm, if he is able to do so.

This would mean he can prevented from being picked up earlier than our PSD #1, and can be taken on PSD day, on December 11.

The Eagles would actually have preferred to have kept Beau Wilkes. Its simply our abundance of talls on the senior list that has denied him his chance. Spangher, Mitch Brown, Staker, Hunter, Jaymie Graham, Glass, Bones are all ahead of him that can play tall in defence. And we elevated Chad Jones who kicked a fair few goals and hit plenty of goal posts in the WAFL and AFL this year (if only he could put them through the middle more often! Eternal frustration with him) and Jamie Mcnamara (love the look of this kid from East Freo, next Matt Priddis story).

And Guy Richards is a hack.
Good to see im not the only one who rates McNamara(although he isnt a tall)
 
I am not sure we have done enough? Who is happy with what we achieved this year? We needed to be more aggressive rather than chase Chris Juda$ he never really considered us the PRICK. >:D

Where are these guys taking us.

Tivendale? Hyde? Jon? Schulz? Meyer? White?

We could do with a Proper Full back, not Bowden.

Another ruck, I am worried about Simmo?

More midfielders, with good foot skills.

Another coach? :hihi :hihi :hihi

always rated him as a junior always found lots of the ball stood out at colts level.should have gone in the nd. hes a e freo boy and i saw plenty of him.
 
Yep.

Jamie McNamara's WAFL Colts stats were regularly over the 30 possie mark. Got over 40 on a couple of occassions. Didn't get much TOG in the carnival which counted against him come draft time last year.

Very similar scenario to Callum Leslie this year. Callum has picked up a heap of possies at WAFL Colts level this year but got left out of the WA carnival team. I think that was more of a reflection of how good the WA juniors are this year.

Callum is shorter than McNamara.

Mind you, the Tigers needs are in the opposite end of the height scale to these two. Callum Leslie could be a rookie opportunity but that would be at the expense of one of the Coburg smalls - Horne, Carnell, et al.
 
I get the feeling that we have a couple of smokies out there somewhere? I could be wrong but it wouldn't surprise me if we did. If we do and you know who they are please don't name them!
