A bit of discussion that the bid for Matthews could come early, which would make it hard to trade for the Giants pick 9.
Some of the intel from this includes …
- Bombers’ top open-pool choice doesn’t appear locked in. Some of the contenders set to meet key officials at the club post-exams.
- Ethan Matthews bid a decent chance to come before Sydney’s pick.
- Pies looking to move up the order, most likely for Sam Gayfer
- Harvie Cooke a first-round chance
- Dons NGA prospect Blake Justice has fans in the 20s
- Everyone is linked to St Kilda …
@FOXFOOTY
We play 3 top 7 teams twice next year, with two of them being top two on H&A ladder (Fremantle, Melbourne, and Sydney). Obviously Freo is unavoidable, but why don't we play North, Saints or GWS twice?
Fixed it:
1. Killers - Mr Brightside
2. White Stripes - 7 Nation Army
3. Strokes - Last Nite
4. YYYs - Maps
5. Radiohead - EIIRP
6. FF - Take Me Out
7. Arctic Monkeys - I bet you …
8. Foo Fighters - The Pretender
9. QOTSA - No One Knows
10. SOAD - Chop Suey
Rolling Stone reveals their top rock songs of the 21st century.
1. “Maps” - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2. “Seven Nation Army” - The White Stripes
3. “Mr. Brightside” - The Killers
4. “good 4 u” - Olivia Rodrigo
5. “The National Anthem” - Radiohead
6. “I Know The End” - Phoebe Bridgers
7. “Last Nite” - The Strokes
8. “99 Problems” - Jay-Z
9. “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” - Arctic Monkeys
10. “Impossible Germany” - Wilco
Potential plan could be:
Pick 3: Butler/Mellody
Pick 23 + F1 to get up the board: Snell/Bradley/Steed
Pick 24 for a F1
Later pick: Banfield/Lecras
"West Coast is open to trading one of its picks in the 20's (once compensation is allocated)"
"If they can turn one of them into a future 1st Round selection I think they're very open to doing that"

Well we can rule out Steed sliding to our second rounder.
The first group of prospects invited to the opening night of the draft are in 👇📩
Thirteen draftees in the initial list of invites, with a couple more likely to be added closer to the draft. afl.com.au/news/1636237/doug…
Looking unlikely we will be able to trade up to get another first rounder.
I'll never forget that Owies was the reason we pulled the trigger on the Pick 3 deal with Carlton
Matt Owies will not continue at West Coast in 2027.
We thank Matt for his contribution over the past two years and wish him well for the future 💙

Collingwood's AFLW captain Ruby Schleicher will leave the club at the end of the season, where she is expected to join West Coast on a four-year deal. She informed Magpies staff and teammates of her decision this morning. More on @AFLcomau.
Looks like we have a total of 46 list spots (Main List + Cat A). We currently have 44 contracted and only 2 spots open to use on the national draft. You’d think there’s a chance Owies, Brock or Macrae get squeezed despite being contracted.
Not sure why WCE would worry about paying Viney’s contract as long as it didn’t cost much in terms of picks.
"I don't think Melbourne has wanted to pay anything to do with Viney's deal. It has been under the cloak of darkness. I'm still of the view it gets there, but it has been hanging for a few days with not much progress."

Port have done about as well as you can after losing a top 5 player in the comp. Incredible trade period for them.
Watch us now handover 23 for Rivers.
🚨 Richmond has secured Port Adelaide's pick No.5 in a trade. Deal is DONE and will be processed this afternoon, giving the Tigers picks 2 & 5.
Tigers get: Pick No.5
Port gets: Richmond's 2027 Rd1 pick, 2027 Rd2 pick, 2027 Rd4 pick and pick 22 this year.
