Willmoy1947 4,261 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Isn't there conjecture regarding Essendon players not getting any suspensions. If this is so we could do worse than a couple of their on ballers but I don't know who. Quote
Mondê 525 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Yarran - NO. Don't need another lazy front runner He won't be coming to us, but in fantasy land he'd actually fill a really important role for us off half back. Tomlinson would be great and I hope Dom and Frosty are getting in the ears of some of these homesick GWS kids. Quote
whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 would love it if we could come in late and land a player such as treloar. unlikely. the only real stories around melbourne are that we are chasing lynch, likely to lose howe, and have enquired about every decent midfielder in the comp as well as a couple of fringe gws talls.

Return to Glory 8,518 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) In terms of later picks, very bullish on Kurt Mutimer. Have had a little to do with him and significant upside imo. Central to Vic Country down back but received very little media attention. Good kick. Edited August 28, 2015 by Return to Glory 1 Quote

I think, wada asada & our admins have finally got their man, the one they really wanted, & Now after much ado about nothing but cheating, I think they're players will walk like Scott f Byrd. so I agree with you wilmoy Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Outs(9). Howe-Giants(trade 1) Toumpas-Crows (trade 2) Garland (FA) bail m.jones mckenzie terlich fitz riley Promoted. Harmes VDNberg Ins. Tomlinson - Giants(trade 1) Tom Lynch - Crows(trade 2) Tom Bugg DFA. Thats the CHF, Half fwd and tough onball tagger. draft picks 5 (Harley Balic), 25 (Ryan Clarke),26 (Jake Gresham), 45 (Kurt Mutimer). Thats a skilled ruck rover, x factor midfielder, high possession rover and skilled running half back. Edited August 28, 2015 by spirit of norm smith Quote
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Looking at our list going forward the spots i'd have locked up and would take a massive deal to trade would be.. Lynden Dunn ???????? Nev Jetta Christian Salem Tom Mcdonald ??????? ???????? Jack Viney Bernie Vince Christian Petracca Jesse Hogan Jack Watts Jeff Garlett ??????? Dean Kent Max Gawn Nathan Jones ?????? Angus Brayshaw Dom Tyson Alex Neil-Bullen Billy Stretch 1 Quote

Dean Kent Max Gawn Nathan Jones ?????? Angus Brayshaw Dom Tyson Alex Neil-Bullen Billy Stretch What I really like about this is that it's a very young list. We'd only have to replace about 5 players over the next five 3 to 4 years. Plus, we'd need to fill those 5 question marks. Two more draft/trade/FA periods should get us the majority of those players and after that, it'll just be a case of ensuring we have good deoth and any non performers are shown the door. Gold Coast's McKenzie, Bennell and Prestia would be a good start with three of those question marks. Edited August 29, 2015 by AdamFarr 1 Quote

Angus Brayshaw Dom Tyson Alex Neil-Bullen Billy Stretch Very strong team!! Gives hope for the future. Moves beyond the inconsistent and questionable efforts of Dawes, Howe, Toumpas. And places great faith in the future built on Viney, Salem, Hogan, Brayshaw, Petracca, Watts. I'm going to keep any eye out for the first time this 17 group of players take to the field together, and no doubt will be pleased with the scoreboard result at the final siren. There is some serious talent on our list, and serious reason to be excited for 2016 and beyond!! 2 Quote
Dee-licious 1,954 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I'd be thinking that Frost might be that full back you are looking for. Possibly Weiderman as that full forward but no idea where the rest will come from. It's exciting though. 2 Quote

Demi Dee 578 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I'm not sure about McKay? But, if these guys are fit and firing at the same time. I feel pretty good about next year. Give us 1 a grade mid to boot, I'll feel even better Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,716 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Lachie Plowman played a pretty good game today, having started on the bench: 20 poss (3 kicks, 17 HB) of which 6 uncont. at 85% efficiency and 3 tackles. Not bad for 1st game this year at AFL level. We get to have a closer look at him when he plays against us next week. 2 Quote

The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Lynch looking the goods against the Eagles. Quote
DistrACTION Jackson 10,728 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 If we can get Lynch it would be massive for our forward line. Very good player. Quote
