If we're talking exclusively for this years picks and Geelong offered 15 + 16 (draft points = 2,179) then we'd have to seriously consider it if we were to garner band 1 compo (pick 7 = 1,644).
Essendon don't have a second selection till the 40'2 (42), getting multiple early picks woudn't be a...
I wouldn't mind a deal that involved 2 x firsts (baring in mind they aren't early which most seem to think of first).
As silly as it sounds, losing 2 x firsts this year, especially ones that aren't early, isn't the worst case in the world. Afterall, the 2020 draft is going to be more of a...
Hindsight is a wonderful thing :rolleyes: :p
It's easy to see why Dodoro kept him. His talent is as good as we have seen for some time. You try and hold onto said player at all costs.
I don't think Essendon supporters would melt nearly as much at Joe for leaving as you suggest. Bitter at Adrian Dodoro for allowing Joe to leave (possibly) for free? Yeah, most would burn down Tullamarine. if that happened.
tbh it really is a tough call
On one hand, we could use a running defender that will eventually double up as an inside midfielder.
We lost an abundance of talent and depth in our small defender stocks (Hibberd, Melksham, Dempsey, Morgan was an unsighted draftee) but have since replenished...
Smells like Dogs, Dees, Tigers all over it.
We wouldn't be in the race would be? Been a massive fan of the two VFL games I've seen of him.
Just looks like an AFL player at that level
Who are these "many of the same sort" you mention? I tried saying the same thing to our board about why he was delisted and was laughed at pretty much saying he's no good (despite winning the Liston last year).
So my boy is now officially on the (delisted) free agency list. What's happened with Schroder for the Cats to say enough is enough?
I know I've asked this before but i feel a team like Essendon (who is short on those middle aged inside midfield bulls) could use him as a suitable depth since...
Tom Bellchambers had a lower leg/achilles/ankle injury in January this year that set him back for a couple of months. After returning, he has struggled with fitness but to question him being "on the outer" is a little shy of whats really happening.
Kicked 28 goals, along with averaging 21...
I value your opinion highly Turbocat (to be frank, you Cats posters are some of the best crop on BigFooty)
Would love to know how Matt Sully went? Was big on him after being named as a player to watch from country footy 3 years ago. How has he progressed? Would be 22/23 now? Still playing KPD...
Turbocat
Player and club can agree to demote a player to the rookie list such as the cases like Rhys O'Keefe (Carlton) and Anthony Long (Essendon) that I can think of myself.
Some clubs will (re) rookie players for salary cap purposes such as Essendon with Jay Neagle.
That is probably the same analysis of us towards Caroliene Wilson. Although she gets most of her "calls" wrong even after being proven incorrect she never apologises.
Im not coming on here to bash, but im not educated enough in his opinion about Geelong (didn't have Foxtel 'till about 2 months ago), so I wouldn't know :oops:
I quite like Cameron Ling, just does not fit in with the skylarking of that idiot BT. Didn't he play for Richmond or something? why did he love "Neon Leon"? farkin' hell..
It genuinely sucks! I posted on Facebook that former stars or coaches should NOT commentate their teams. The bias and barracking will seep out no matter how "balanced" they want to come across.
Even when Ch10 had the rights, Robert Walls was horrendous with Carlton with his commentating...
We have spoken in length on the Essendon board about the Ch 7 guys. The job of BT & Darcy is to keep the run of the mill supporters interested in the game, hence the "wowee", "big boy", "my boy" references that continue in the commentary. The sheer barracking of someone like Paul Roos was...
Wait till you play Sydney, in Sydney with Paul ******* Roos commentating.
He was reffering to every single Sydney player by there nickname.
He even STATED Myke Pyke should be the All Australian ruckmen last night. Turn it up Roosy. And I was sick to death of him saying ">insert player x<...
Youngest kid on the list, one of the youngest on an AFL list, 7 VFL seniors games..
DELIST??
Oh dear..
Stevie Johnson would have been gone after 3 years wouldn't he?
