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.

Club culture anyone? This guy's a bit of a bad egg apparently.

I don't think we'll be trading any players in this year anyway.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
