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."

Hoping neither club picks him up by the close of trade week, and he decides to go into the pre-season draft where his 3rd choice of club picks him up :wub:

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.

SORRY DIDN'T SEE OTHER THREADS .

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..!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
