Depends where Carlton finish I suppose. But even then would you let Reid go for that? I'd want 2 top 10 picks for Reid minimum. Allen...well Allen is a different story and if I'm the Eagles I'd separate the two deals.

BozoParkes responds to every single H Reid post within 9 minutes of it going up. Day and night. I think he might need a hobby.
Isn't Worshipping over rated entitled Flogg's a Hobby?

menage a trois?
Our club has it's own issues which i acknowledge - but this thread is to bag other clubs right?!
I cant believe the useless decisions the Budgies keep making. They've been making turd decisions for years and are still not improving in this area. Can you believe they let Barrass go, and didnt even think to stock their backs (i know they got Sandy Bum as a SSP but that certainly wasnt planned). I mean, even just get an Oscar Mac type - a mature ager as a back up. Everyone knew McGovern likes an injury or two each year. Laughable to think their next best option is their best KPF.
Secondly - what a useless decision to let Oscar Allen keep the captaincy at the start of the year, with no contract. It just screams insecurity which is the last thing they want during a rebuild. I said this would happen at the start of the year. He should have been given an ultimatum. Either sign your new deal now (before the season) or relinquish the captaincy. Going through a rebuild, with a captain who wont even commit is just crazy. And now that ol Sammy boy has been in town on the whisper, it's made an even bigger mockery of the club. Going to be a loooong season for that mob at this rate.
And then there's ol Tubby Reid. As least he's rich enough to be spending a thousand bucks a week on fines!

They could have held Witherden for one more season. He's at least an experienced body.
exactly - there's endless possibilities, but to leave themselves so skint in the backline is crazy. McGovern is a gun, but he's also ageing and very injury prone. Can't fathom they dont have any other options. It's like if we just left our backline with AP and maybe big Hughy as our options - crazy! i'm so used to the eagles doing everything right, it's fantastic watching them make poor decision after poor decision for a change. Next they'll appoint Damian Drum as Coach!

The Eagles have turned into the gift that keeps on giving.
We must never forget that they had the choice of Carlton or Hawthorn's first and second rounders and chose Hawthorn's. Now they'll probably lose their skipper to get their hands on Carlton's, which are projecting to be far more valuable. Wtf is Don Pyke doing over there?
Hawthorn have made West Coast their bitch.

The AFL have cleared Noah Balta to play in Round 5 against us and Round 6 against GCS prior to his sentencing for the assault he has pleaded guilty for.
Just when you think they couldn't sink any lower they prove you wrong!

Wouldn't mind if Allen went to Hawks tbh, I don't rate him in the slightest and he is extremely prone to an injury, anything to keep the Hawks at bay atm

That's ridiculous, if anyone's seen the footage it's pretty disgusting. Poor form from the AFL once again

What's that, he pleaded guilty? Well might as well give him a couple of games, he's been honest.
Said someone at AFL house.
The arrogant little shit would fit right in there though

Someone has to take the mantle from long gone souls like Numero Uno and DanWA.
Up to Richmond now. Let's see if they have the guts to leave him out (which includes VFL). Great timing signing him up in October 2024 to a long term deal until the end of 2032. Surely they must be able to rip the contract up without paying him out?

(brought this over from the bruce thread).
They've started mentioning all the cups they have again as well.
As I said to the kid in high school, they need them all, with the amount of shits they're taking in each one.
1 club x 4 cups.

Meh, Andrew Krakouer beat a bloke so bad the victim was put in a coma and spent six months in hospital in rehab. Coincidentally that Krak beating was also dished out after a night out on the piss accompanied by his brother, just like Balta's.
Richmond have already made that mistake once, they took the high moral ground and delisted Krak only for him to become a posthumous Collingwood legend. Watch Geelong pick up Tarym Thomas next year as a DFA. The lesson is there's nothing to be gained from clubs trying to do the right thing, some other club will just gazump you.
If they don't want these types of guys playing the AFL needs to act and ban them for life, not pass the buck to his club
