This isn’t a bad outcome given we salvaged a pick in the 40’s with this trade with Port. Don’t underestimate Bo Allan he is a quality player who will help compliment our midfield and can swing back in defence.
If Hamish davis slides that's another good pick. Same with Lachie Jaques. There's some decent options that could potentially slide if there's a few doozy picks
Crows fan here. Massive win for the eagles! This guy reminds me of will day and from all reports a great character, which is just as important for you guys at this stage as talent. This guy will be a 200+ gamer and a future captain of your club, great result after trading out of the top 10.
if he becomes a good defender he can help fill in the void that barrass left. And I think that this player really fits the mold with Mini's style of play, emphasising turnovers in the backline. the draft tends to favour the Vic boys so we probably got him for better value. also I love your channel (my girlfriend rolls her eyes whenever you're on the tv because she doesn't care about footy)
I called it on one of your previous videos that I didn't think the Vic clubs would take Allen with so many good local kids and the risk of Bo's go home factor. Getting another pick in the 40s was a great addition. Excited for tomorrow as theres still some exciting players out there - Shanahan, Mraz, Moraes, Davis, Gerryn, bell, champion etc...
I have the feeling our list management still have good communication with Richmond. Bo Allan being available might be a repay of us overpaying for Baker.
i always felt we had some agreement with tigers, they would help us get who we wanted. they wouldnt take him before us. also helped us get him out from under freo. sometimes paying slight overs for a player can help in the long run. stoked to get Bo, plus a handy extra pick.
I think we salvaged this draft relatively well so far considering we traded down. I'm happy we have Bo Allan, he is also a left footed midfielder potentially which is a slight point of difference. He can also play back, has leadership qualities, combined with Baker, Graham, Owies etc. I do feel that this might be the better outcome for the rebuild with the benefit of future hindsight.
As for whether this vindicates the decision to split pick 3 to get Liam Baker, you can argue that pick 3 for Baker, Owies, Allan and pick 45 looks decent. But I'd argue that we've still left a couple of picks on the table by being too amenable. First, we should have got an extra pick from Carlton when we split pick 3 for picks 12 and 14. Instead, we sweetened that deal for them, which is ridiculous. Second, we should have got something back from Richmond when we gave up pick 14 for Baker. So let's not start calling it a win just yet. We still accepted unders for pick 3 and then paid overs for Baker. Fortunately, North swooped in and eclipsed our bad deal with something even stinkier.
Yep. We should have gotten back what became pick 27 if we were hell-bent on using 14 for Baker. Or alternatively used hawks F1 and kept 14. Either of those scenarios let's us trade with north for their F1.
Fantastic get for the club, that Port trade surprised the hell out of me. Most of the deficiencies that you listed are all fixable, will be interesting to see how we go with the next pick. North's trade is very puzzling. Glad you acknowledged that we have Bo, Graham, Baker and Owies for what essentially is 2 picks. Shanahan would be very handy but I feel we need backs more than Forwards. Hit the nail on the head we should have 4 players that could play from round 1, not sure how many 1st round draftees will start round 1💙💛🦅🏆
Today has made me much more positive about the whole trade situation. Looking at tigers and bulldogs, very likely we can get shanahan, which would be a steal!! Then a back and champion, pretty well balanced draft hand If we get Warner, a midfield with Reid, Warner, hewett and either ginbey or Allan, that looks sexy!!
For what it's worth, with my lens as a Freo supporter, West Coast did pretty bloody well here. All said and done with the trade period, the first night of the draft, and the future picks in the bank the Eagles list management should be eating their cake. You'll never please all the supporters and I think you've nailed the justification towards the end of the video, the side is atronger with multiple players coming in.... No sure about the converting of Freo supporters though. 😝
@@BDub2024 absolutely! No complaints from me there. I probably would have preferred Berry from a list need standpoint but Murphy Reid at half forward, eventually rotating into the midfield sounds pretty good to me too.
Don’t be surprised if dogs and saints try to move couple of places forward might get another pick or future pick depends if eagles want one of the key forwards still available
Since the coach has said Baker and Gymbey are playing backline next year, I don’t see a spot for Allan in defence. McGovern, Edward’s or Bazzo for key backs. Hoff, Gymbey, Maric and Allan fighting for 3rd tall. I realise Hoff can play small but he is 194cm. Then the smalls are Baker, Hunt, Cole and Duggan. Hunt could play wing. So one or two of these are likely to be squeezed out. So it is going to be interesting who misses out. I like the look of Allan, but not sure there is a spot for him round one, bearing in mind we get Hewitt back who will slide into the mid field, and Long back. Not sure how he gets squeezed into the team with Owies and Graham starting round one. A good problem to have. But I would have preferred we kept pick 3 and got jagga. When you consider our trade for Baker, Freo’s trade for Bolton and Geelong’s trade for Smith, Geelong came out streets ahead. Smith is better than Bolton and streets ahead of Baker. Don’t get me wrong I like Baker, but not at the price of pick 14.
Just saw on another channel Freo offered pick 17 & 34 for pick 15 to pick Berry before Port. But Port were going to Pick Allan which means we would have got M. Reid. Funny how the live trades can change players and clubs fortunes.
I reckon we'll trade a future second to move into the 30s in the draft. It will be interesting if we get another pick in this draft or whether we move forward from pick 45.
I was gutted when we traded out pick 3 yet I've also felt deflated after every game for the last 3 years bar maybe 6 or 7 games, 3 in particular this year so its been a really lean trot as we can all attest to. So reflecting back on the trade period I was like ok, we've brought in 3 really solid citizens which will strengthen our team resolve and help Yeo, Gov, Duggo, Oscar & the like lead the way both on the track and on field. To get Bo Allen at pick 15 is a win! He's a bull and with Harls, Hewey & Ginbey they will take the mantle from Yeo & TK in a couple of years time and we could potentially have 3/4 bulls in the guts, all of which offer something slightly different. It also puts pressure on Cole & Hunt to keep their output at 100% when playing in the backline. Whether we're able to bring Chad to the club for next year remains to be seen yet we have plenty of draft capital to either trade or draft before Tassie join which is important. Suddenly, its not all doom and gloom. Onwards & upwards to flag #5!
It will be interesting if we go for some guys delisted with draft picks. I would consider some of the WA boys as I'm sure there are some gems there that just haven't had the development of the Vic kids.
Love your work mate. On the topic at hand, this is not what we need. We don’t need another back men that can possibly play mid. We need a full-time ball winning midfielder with good skills and that’s what we would’ve got at pick three I’m still on the club trading topic like that just for an old, mediocre player or two. This list is full of old mediocre players. We need Young gun talent, particularly in the midfield. In my opinion we have stuffed this draft.
I think Shanahan at 30 would be a phenomenal pick up for us. Personally I would like to trade back into the draft and pick up a smaller mid/winger like Gross, Hayes, Moraes or Ivisic.
I really like the Allan pick, tbh I had him above Lindsay or Travaglia in order of preference. I just think he suits what Mini wants and he has all the attributes that Yeo has, that top end agility and power with a penetrating boot that Ginbey just doesnt have. If Shanahan or J.Whitlock is there at 30 I reckon we should be fielding offers, we might be able to snag an extra pick. Essendon f1+37 for wcef2+30? Essendon 37+39 for 30? Collingwood or Geelong use their f1 + a pick in the 40s? Brisbane f1+46 for hawksf2+30? Plenty of opportunities to profit
Bo doesn't fix our needs but he is a good player and given the circumstances this was a good outcome. That pick 45 is an awesome pickup and we may not need to use future picks to trade back in. Christian Moraes, Hamish Davis, Noah Miraz, James Barat, Hugh Boxshall and Tom Gross all still available as well. We traded Sid Draper for Bo, #45, Baker and Owies feels like a win
Shanahan is a great prospect but i would find it strange if we pick him with all the forwards we have. Id much rather us get a forward of centre mid and a key back with our next 2 picks. Happy with allen, was best available imo and has the tools to be a mid if he works on his kicking.
Bo Allen was a good pick up for us. Best of all we got another pick 45. I think Freo and other clubs were after Eagles pick. Eagles wanted Berry as did Freo. But Bo Allen was their preferred choice. I think Bo Allen looks like a natural wingman to me. Probably more upside than Maric as a wingman.
Idea for another trade Shanahan won't be taken by richmond, and Bulldogs does Port trade up with us again. Pick 30 for 33 and 38, and we get the chance to get an outside runner (jaxon Artemis) actual mid (Hugh Boxshall) and Key Defender (Charlie Nicholls) with picks 33, 38, and 44 all before we even get Malakai Champion would be a pretty complete draft In My Opinion
pick 3 into Baker, Owies, Allan and pick 40 something with the list we have that's a good deal. turning 1 player into 4. pulse we still have 2 first rounders, 2 second rounders and 2 third rounders for next year. id say job well done.
Bo Allen has good leadership. The Eagles backline includes these small midsized players Duggan Cole Baker Ginbey Hunt Hough. So three of those guys. I can't see Allen replacing those guys. then you've got Johnstone Dewar and Yeo if he cops injuries... Then our usual tall in defence. If Allen wants to play he'll need to be up the ground. Unless they move Duggan Baker Hough or Hunt into the midfield.
Take Cole and Hunt out of that backline, put them on wings or as depth. Hough, Allan, Baker and Duggan as the medium/small defenders, Edwards, Gov and Ginbey as the 3 talls.
@@stallon720 i'd have baker in the middle and half forward and add that defensive pressure. cole is a good tackler so is useful to have in the mix, but certainly those are attributes useful to have on ball and half forard. Duggan will spend time in middle possibly too.
@@BDub2024 Baker will be in the backline at least to start the year, thats basically been confirmed by the club. We have more depth and better small forwards than we do defenders. Cole is not a great defender, hes looked his best playing higher up the ground this year, after Ginbey went into the backline. Cole is a wing or defensive depth imo. Duggan can play wherever, but we have Yeo, Kelly, Reid, Hewett, Graham and some of Hutch and Hall in the middle. Those blokes have 3 midfield spots to fill at a time, none of them are wingers. Cole and Hunt should fight it out for wing spots with Johnston, Maric(if not in defence), and whoever else we want on a wing.
@@tater222 You forgot Hough and Hunt who are the 2 best performing small defenders... then you consider youngsters like Johnston and Dewar off half back. Plus Maric is doing time there as a mid sized back as well. I can't see Allen being a regular in defence, unless they move existing defenders into the midfield.
I don't believe so. Usually they mention related players - Ed is Ben's son at Collingwood and there has been nothing to suggest Bo is related at all! Good question though, as they spell 'Allan' the same way
Gotta take Shanahan if he’s there I think. If dons offer 2 picks for him I wouldn’t be upset with that. Give him a few years down back like Oscar Allen did.
Eagles could have had Jagga Smith and Bo Allan. Given Jagga and Harley have a history this is a huge miss for West Coast. Particularly given Jagga’s reported professionalism. If Harley ever requests a trade the recruitment of Baker will forever be highlighted as one of the worst modern trades
Personally for our needs I would have gone M.Reid but Bo Allan we won’t have go home factor to worry about in 3 years. We have done well considering the mess with pick 3. Pick 3 for Allan, Baler, Owies and pick 44. And if we get Shanahan, all the cards have fallen our way .
@@BDub2024I agree, with rotations in the centre square at times. Just thought a lot of our kids are burst players who don’t get a lot of possessions. M.Reid accumulates a lot of the ball and his decision making is elite.
Jobe has scope to be a KPD, it was written somewhere that last year he played a game as a KPD on Nate Caddy and won the battle despite being a year younger and not really spending a lot of time in the backline
Left field but I wouldn’t mind eagles redrafting Isiah winder - seems to have matured and on talent seems way too good for wafl. Would rather us pay twice than someone help see him flourish at their club.
I will bash this horse to death. But he has one of the worst kicks I've seen, second to Barrass. But hate to be only negative and look forward to watching him progress and hopefully find his role and fit in the team
@@TrueEagleAFLit’s not a knock on Bo, and it’s not his fault we picked him. It still comes back to being haunted by trading down from pick 3 and how we could have used other avenues to acquire the players we did in the trade too and retained the pick. We needed an accumulator, Draper or Smith. Bo will get a go for me, but will always be compared to those two boys now

I have the feeling our list management still have good communication with Richmond. Bo Allan being available might be a repay of us overpaying for Baker.
Agree with you, pinky promise from Richmond that they would leave Bo for WC if he was still available with their two picks preceeding ours
But Melbourne or St Kilda could easily have picked him.
I totally think that Tiges made Freo swap out the two picks prior so that we had access to Bo as a sweetner for the Bakes deal!
@@DavidCribbin Or they just wanted the best picks they could get for Bolton. What's more likely?
@BigCatinBKK For similar ability, why would the Vic teams pick a WA player? Lower risk to take a Vic player.

I would of personally been very disappointed if we got a small forward we have so much depth in that position
Agreed definitely.

could you please now do a best 23 afl and wafl side, since the draft is finished, keep up the content its great
I was more than happy with Bo Allen, he’s a great player already. Feeling not so bad about pick 3.
looking at some of those highlights he actually reminds a little of Bontempelli, rangy left footer

Port Adelaide needed to pay for the insurance. Pick 45 is the price.

@@timdogan9960 he will develop it, he’s probably the best athlete in the draft, he has good speed and a good vertical different to ginbey endurance

Could still grow to 193-194 at this rate!
Not sure I want Jobe. We have too many players at that position
Jobe has scope to be a KPD, it was written somewhere that last year he played a game as a KPD on Nate Caddy and won the battle despite being a year younger and not really spending a lot of time in the backline
We make finals in 2026 when we land Warner
😁🦅
If you're negative before the start your going to waiting for his faults his whole career. Dont do it 😅
Left field but I wouldn’t mind eagles redrafting Isiah winder - seems to have matured and on talent seems way too good for wafl. Would rather us pay twice than someone help see him flourish at their club.
I will bash this horse to death. But he has one of the worst kicks I've seen, second to Barrass.
But hate to be only negative and look forward to watching him progress and hopefully find his role and fit in the team
As good as he is he really doesnt fit out needs to well imo, lets just hope we nail the rest of the draft.
He can really play anywhere he could play as a hf
What .....we have been shit for 3 years ....anyone with 2 legs and heart beat is good
He can play
Seriously we needed to get baker too
Can’t express my disappointment enough
Why's that Bo? Who did you want?
@@TrueEagleAFLit’s not a knock on Bo, and it’s not his fault we picked him. It still comes back to being haunted by trading down from pick 3 and how we could have used other avenues to acquire the players we did in the trade too and retained the pick. We needed an accumulator, Draper or Smith. Bo will get a go for me, but will always be compared to those two boys now
Copium indeed ✅
You gotta have a little, right?
