Correct, we are seen as a departure point for players

Agree club at the moment is not seen as a destination club
I think we are more of a destination club than Nth Or Adelaide or WCE

WCE and Adelaide will always be a lure for home grown players considering they are 2 horse towns.

Back on kennedy, this isn’t a situation of a player shopping himself around. This is one being told by his current team to find another club. He doesn’t have much stock as a 27 year old fairly 1 dimensional player and will likely have minimal interest.

I agree we are a bit of a rabble atm and can’t offer outside players much other than a far contract, but let’s not go overboard and think we can’t get any players in.

In this case, we shouldn’t be going after players of his profile anyway imo.

Trading of picks is going to be interesting given from next year the value of draft picks will completely change.





CLUBS with exciting Academy and father-son prospects for 2025 will be working through two different draft points models this AFL Trade Period as they prepare for next year.

Dodged a bullet here in that we can use our many late draft picks to prop up Lions and GC points (possibly Carlton) to get their academy and father son selections.

West Coast would want to choose its coach by the start of the trade period to ensure it doesn't compromise its plans including links to Tigers Liam Baker and Jack Graham.

It’s believed Eagles coaching contender Andrew McQualter’s relationships with the likes of Baker and Graham from his time as caretaker coach at Richmond could be key in West Coast’s pursuit of such names.

And can we completely put a line through them for West Australian-bound Shai Bolton?

“The interesting one is Liam Baker, we want to know whether he is going to get to West Coast, that will be fascinating to watch. Does Jack Graham get there? It could depend on who is the senior coach and whether ‘Mini’ McQualter gets that gig.

“Shai Bolton probably wants to go to the Dockers, but could the Eagles jump in at the last minute?”

is it safe to assume Jack Graham is gone, we offered him an improved contract a while ago and has not signed. I'm assuming at best Jack is waiting to see who the coach is and baring not a shocking, he will ask for a trade?

I reckon we should give McBean another go.
