Provisional 2025 Draft order

Spoiler

 

[BG__]

Bit disappointing to not get the sugar hit of him next year, but if we still get him in a couple of years this will be the best outcome for our rebuild.

 

[Cuzz09]

Sydney are going nowhere too so he will be stuck in a middling side anyway but he's comfortable so why shake things up.

He would think I'd have to be the main man and maybe he doesn't have it in him.... yet

 

[Eastern Rangers]

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Yessssssss. He can now join us once we are actually on the up and we risk far less. Nice!

The funny thing is nuffies elsewhere will think eagles fans will be down about it. Anyone who knows their shit and wants the best for us will be stoked he has signed and short term. Great outcome

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Warner in two years for free in terms of draft capital is the dream. Tops off a young midfield to push us into a window, or replaces Reid a year late with 90% of Reid’s potential while still getting a massive haul for Reid.

 

[Cuzz09]

Warner will be handy help for Hewett coming off a Brownlow season

 

[JackOutback]

People cheering a likely two more years of little improvement. If lack of Warner also encourages Reid to go, it would be an epic stuff-up not to be able to lure him home.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Also Bont for Hawks pick (so get pick 2 for Oscar) is now massively enticing.

Helps us develop for two years, top up with Chad and still have a couple of years of Bont at a very good level.

Please football gods

 

[ep2018]

Would have cost us nothing more than Oscar's compo, how are people trying to spin this into a win? Also in two years Freo will be in a better position to lure him as well. Legit 'didn't want him anyway' copium going on in here.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I reckon that was our chance to get Chad. He will go to Freo in 2 years as a free agent.

Please football gods

1 year of Reid, Hewett, Warner and Bont in 2027 would be pretty delicious please footy gods

We've been through enough

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Or maybe people just see value in spending our draft collateral in a different way. People were talking about 2 firsts for Chad with one being a top 3 pick.

If Harley leaves, we’ll get a bounty for him.

No club on our list position should be giving up multiple first round picks for a player.

I was legit 50/50.

Didn't mind either way.

Would've been awesome to see him in blue now gold next year but now we can draft a couple of gun kids

 

[RookiePick]

The Chad doing us a solid I think. Pick him up for salary in 2 years time and we will have laid a much better foundation in the interim.

Signing a 2 year deal is very expressive in it's messaging. Very.

Because it was highly unlikely he’d come while we are so shit. 2 years gives us time to show improvement and get him as a free agent. Probably the best “realistic” outcome.

Yes, having him now would be nice but he’s not a moron. He can see we are still a way off

 

[lmach]

No chance only one first rounder would've done it.

 

[Cuzz09]

Feels like a "CBF doing hard work" decision

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Coming to us now would have been as dumb as Gaff leaving for Norf in 2018.

We have enough dumb footballers so happy with his decision.

 

[kerrazy]

Why cough up the pick 2 aka the 2nd best player of the draft when we can get him for free in 2 years?

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

So young guns game on may 28th

Ayden McCarroll all our eyes need to be on him

209.4cm tall ruckman just what we need if he's any good

 

[dinnaz]

In hindsight sure, but he was being compared to Grundy at draft time.

Super athleticism but weak.
Is still the case even now, but i still hold hope he cam be something. Chuck him on the wing.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

So we would have been offering more years, but I doubt substantially more $’s. Fair call by him

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Will cost us less now, plus we will get a high pick for Oscar for another top prospect then add him anyway when we are more heading into a window. Nah, it’s good

 

[Boohemian]

Wrong stage of the rebuild to be relinquishing draft capital trading players in. We still need to draft more elite young talent and get games into the youth.

 

[flyinghi64]

Wow our war chest needs to go somewhere.
We will have a surplus to spend this year you would think, particularly if Harley doesn't come to the party.
Trade week will be very interesting this year.
Who out there could we lure over with a big pay day. I am sure there are some left field choices we haven't even thought off.
