    Can play, but has he sorted his head out?

    Sure he has the ability to break games open but personally, he seems every part the glamour/bad boy type. Not dissimilar to Cupido i suppose.

    We have a young list and the players we trade in need to have a positive effect on the playing group off the field as well as on it. If he'd turned any major corners you'd expect he'd be staying at the dons, and a move to the dees wouldn't be a huge change in scenery for him.

    I think Alwyn is the one we'd want from them. After seeing how aggressively we've gone after Warnock I think Bailey may be following the path of the club he came from by recruiting siblings, who knows it may've even been his doing over there.

    No...

    26 years old...

    not a particularly awesome player... a poor mans version on Davey.

    extremely bad egg.... has lots of trouble with the police including stalking his x...

    if he was 20 years old would be a different story perhaps, but no.

    Depends what Essendon want. His age (26-27) would drive down his value to us while his extra curricular activities can't help.

    I wouldn't give up a pick so probable a 2 Melb players for 1 deal.

    Dons are hunting for draft picks I'd say.

    Like everybody else ;) ?!!!

    Nah, don't draft him. He is a head case that beats up on girls.

    My mate Fothers' would like to draft him as he likes the little Aboriginal players like the Davey's and Aussie although he didn't like Che's brothers.

    A head case like Lovett would still be a better player and have more impact than Colin Sylvia onfield and off field.

    You care to elaborate on that..........to support your argument?

    Because IMO Sylvia has done more this year than Lovett has ever done.

    Sylvia is just a very dumb footballer that has no engine. This isn't the Colin Sylvia forum.

    My mate Fothers likes Aboriginal players better -he says he was responsible for getting Les Bamblett to the Ds.

    Though I do think we need pace, I don't think Lovett is in the right 'mold' for us. I woulnd't want to give up much for him either.

    Sylvia has never won an Anzac medal ;)

    Not it isn't the Colin Sylvia forum, its the Andrew Lovett forum, but you brought it up, as you have tried in another forum.

    Sylvia is on the improve, Lovett has no brain.

    Les Bamblett.......FFS. Give me strength!

    You risk wasting a draft pick if you get Lovey as if he is naughty he may end up hurt or in jail.

    Colin Sylvia as a straight swap would be worth it.

    Sylvia is the Ds version of Courtney Johns without the major injuries but with the niggling ones.

  • Quote

    Andrew Lovett is a very talented player. His ability to run and carry the ball, and deliver it, is outstanding.

    But why would Essendon be looking to trade a player with so much skill and pace.

    Cos he is a bad egg. He was suspended twice by the club this year and I get the feeling Knights has lost patience with him.

    If you think Melbourne has the ability to "straighten" him out, you will pick up a very good player if you traded for him.

    Personally, I think Melbourne have enough issues without adding Lovett to the mix.

    Your last sentence carry's the most weight.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
