Re: Trade hypotheticals

No. A ruckman like Tim only comes along once in a while. In ruckman terms he's still a baby and has a lot of growth in him. If he develops as we hope he could be on the most influential/top 5 players in the comp

He can play 80%+ time in the ruck, he can go forward and is a fair shot at goal and he can take relieving marks in defence. On top of that he's a natural footballer. There's nothing manufactured about him at all. As far as I'm concerned Tim stays for as long as he wants because he will continue to improve year on year

Great post Td. Although I would say Tim is a reliable kick for goal rather than fair.

Tom Barrass is a Perth boy, just signed a 5 year contract extension, and will be the next captain of the West Coast Eagles.

Why would he give all that up to join a pissant club like the Bulldogs.

Re: Trade hypotheticals

Would you do it?

Here's one - English for Barrass. Yay or nay?

If we had Grundy and Lobb in in another trades, yay.

Re: Trade hypotheticals

Good pick up but after one game have we determined he is a key defender? As chef said, he's not there yet.
Lets see how he goes today, GWS has a couple of players that might test him.

His hands suggest he is already good enough at the level. Is he defender? I don't know. Thats the first time i saw him last week & watching on tv is not the same live. Maybe he turns into the intercepter defender that we need next year.

It doesn't make any sense to me other than chasing finals. For some reason there is some speculation or perhaps just wishful thinking.

How did we let Lewis Young go. He has played pretty well for Carlton tonight and is not on much coin. Now here we are looking for a Big body defender. Go figure Deja Ve. Another Roughead situation

Melbourne getting the rub of the green umpire wise but might not be enough.

May could get an Oscar for his work tonight.

Would be the perfect fit for us. Unbelievable after all the work we put into him. He always showed talent as a backman. Will never understand why we never gave him the opportunity. Now we are in the mix to see if we can get another Lewis Young.

Re: Trade hypotheticals

Big no. We are short on ruck options, and English is starting to show why he is so valuable.

What about Barrass for Dunkley?

Eagles won't release Barrass. Even in rebuilds the bookends are the first positions you build on. They have Oscar Allen returning next year who will play full forward with a few others returning so won't be down the bottom for to long.

Re: Trade hypotheticals

"Someone" at WB thought Young was a ruckman just as they thought Dunkley was a ruckman. That same "someone"
thinks McComb, McNeill and Cordy are best 22 and Bruce (this week "managed") will be an automatic walk up after three grossly underwhelming games.

Re: Trade hypotheticals

How on earth has the Lewis Young debate ended up in this thread? At least propose a trade to get him back to the club.

Whilst I’m here, what about Sean Darcy for Tim English. Yay or nay?
