JUST REPORTED IN HERALD SUN-

Essendon ready to pounce on Shaun Burgoyne

Finn Bradshaw From: Herald Sun October 01, 2009 2:54PM

THE Bombers believe they can lure disgruntled Port star Shaun Burgoyne to Windy Hill despite Hawthorn being the midfielder's preferred destination.

Burgoyne has nominated Hawthorn as his preferred destination, but new Essendon CEO Ian Robson today said the Bombers were waiting to pounce if the talks between Port and the Hawks break down.

"There are some challenges between Port and Hawthorn to get that done," Robson told SEN this morning.

"They may well get it done, because ultimately there's a will and a resolve to do it, but we stand as a very, very active participant on the margins of that conversation, and ready because We believe Shaun would be a great fit for us."

"But we also respect that to date Shaun has indicated his preference is Hawthorn."

And this is relevant to us because...

IT IS RELEVANT AS WELL AS PERTINANT- IT IS RELEVANT BECAUSE IT IS NEWS- WE STILL WOULD LIKE TO PICK HIM UP IN PSD. SO THEREFORE IT IS NOT A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT HE IS GOING TO ESSENDON OR HAWTHORN & PERTINANT AS HE IS DAVEY'S COUSIN -WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING HIM.

But was it really that necessary to start a new thread?

He's out of contract. If Port don't accept a 1st rounder from Hawthorn or Essendon he can go straight into the National Draft witha contract price and term and get picked up there by one of them. Sure Richmond, Freo, North, Sydney and West Coast will get a look too but if they want to spend their 1st rounder on him they can enter the trade discussion. There's no way he's getting to the PSD unless he specifically wants to come to MFC which apparently he doesn't.

Dont have to apolagise its all good mate,[censored] happens & its still a valid topic.Ess will chase him hard cos Matthew LLoyd was on radio here talking to Cornsey & rowe & said they realy badly wanted Davey 1st but they couldnt get him so now they will focus on Burgoyne.Good for us they didnt get Davey

I can't see any chance of him landing at melbourne as pointed out by other posters Hawthorn are prepared to use pick 9 as we speak and if port demand more and this falls through pick 9 it is in the ND.... be nice to get him for nothing but maybe another will slip through if its going to happin this may be the year for it. there are some big names being floated around and maybe more next week going to be pretty interesting more so than years gone by

That's a rubbish rule by the AFL. If you put yourself in the national draft, the rules should be stated that you have to be paid at a rookie wage like all draftees or just scrap PSD cause its worth jack squat. The PSD is in essence just a continuation of the national draft.

If you put yourself in ND, you can't name your price or terms. In PSD, you can. That surely makes more sense.

It's not jayceebee's fault - someone sabotaged his keyboard :(

I managed to get hold of a security camera* still of the incident:

*can't blame the criminal for not expecting a security camera just a metre from the keyboard..!

    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.
