seaby is not that bad , would possibly be worth a R3 pick or a trade for JON perhaps...my guess is he's only 23 or so and would have performed better at senior level than what cartledge has shown...may be worth a cheap punt

I agree, there are far worse options available than Seaby for a cheap backup.

West Coast ruckman Mark Seaby wants out
Greg Denham | October 03, 2008

WEST Coast's premiership ruckman Mark Seaby may be the answer to the prayers of several clubs after requesting to be traded out of the Eagles for more opportunities.

Seaby, who played a bit part in West Coast's 2006 premiership win over Sydney under the competition's elite ruckman Dean Cox, informed coach John Worsfold of his intentions to leave for an opportunity to get more game time at another club.

His Perth-based manager Wayne Loxley yesterday said he had spoken to Richmond, Carlton and St Kilda and would also discuss his client's future with the Swans.

"Mark has informed the Eagles that he wants to be traded and he hopes they can do a deal because he is contracted until the end of next year," Loxley said.

"He's basically been forced out by the dominance of Cox, who is rarely rested, and Mark wants

more game time. It's been difficult at times under the best ruckman and he aspires to be No1 at another club."

Seaby, 24, has played 97 games in five seasons and is prepared to move anywhere to play on a regular basis.

"West Coast's attitude is that they want him to stay, but we think he's good enough to be the No.1 man at a number of clubs," Loxley said.

"His form in the WAFL finals for West Perth was outstanding. He's recently married and would adjust very well. He's such a settled young bloke."

After withdrawing from the race to secure ex-Fremantle ruckman Robbie Warnock because of Carlton's massive offer, Richmond has expressed keen interest in Seaby, which would allow the

Tigers to play their No1 ruckman Troy Simmonds more often as a key forward. The Tigers have been placed on a tight budget and the Blues have offered Warnock a four-year deal worth $1.4million.

While Richmond will not give up its first national draft selection, No8 overall, its second-round selection (No26) could be used as part of a deal to satisfy the Eagles.

Tigers general manager of football operations Craig Cameron said: "We're in preliminary discussions with West Coast."

The Eagles, who will almost certainly replace Seaby by drafting West Australian ruckman Nick Naitanui with their first pick (No.2 overall), will demand a better deal than Richmond's second-round draft selection.

Dammit, He's contracted.

I'd be pretty disappointed if we gave away a 2nd rounder for him.

3rd and JON would suffice hopefully.

no

[wayne]

He's better than Mark Blake

[Infamy]

He's better than Mark Blake

Isn't that kinda like saying having terminal cancer is better than being dead?

[mightytiges]

If we give away our 2nd round pick for a dud like Seaby  , Craig Cameron should be sacked on the spot. A good way to set the record for the shortest stint as a list manager in history.

Geez he's 24 and his stats are not far different from Patto's  .

Perhaps we will use a pick to get Seaby we gained from trading. We need a mid-age ruckman to replace Simmonds and he Seaby may be worth a 2nd round pick to fill the void until Putt, Graham and any other possible ruck recruits come on.

Got to give something worthwhile to get something worthwhile. I just hope we gain another one or two picks between 15 - 30 through trades so a deal like this doesn't stop us continuing to increase our list depth.

As long as we use a 4th rounder i'd be happy with it.

bare in mind MT that seaby prob plays reduced game time as second fiddle to cox...his redeeming feature, He WINS tapouts, an unknown at tigerland since Roy wright

[blaisee]

seaby fills a critical void in our list

at 24 his best footy is still ahead of him

with putt and graham developing, seaby will give them both time to flourish

Hopefully the cost will be minimal, but I somehow doubt it unfortunately

Line ball this one

I dont know what all this fuss is about picking up a mid aged ruckman.

We have 4 ruck/very tall fowards on our books now and dont we want to give game time to the three backups/learners ? How are they going to learn running around at Coburg ? Whats the point of trading away picks ?

I think if we are realy worried Simmo going down and about the results in 2009 then we may be better of picking up sombody like Jeff White in the PSD on a one year deal and keeping all our picks. He probably would be a better ruck coach to help bring on the other three than what Monkey is.
