If we are only allowed to elevate a rookie then that leaves us at a disadvantage to other clubs in the competition should long term injuries occur, etc...

We knew the risks.

Hope he plays again.  Definitely a top 10-15 player still at most clubs in my book.

Any chance Daniel Cross makes a comeback and replaces Melksham's spot on the list for 2016?

The AFL website is suggesting Cross as one of the top up players for the Bombers. Fat chance!

lol - next they'll be suggesting juddy and then his grandmother

I would like to think that our contribution in defraying Essendon impact by taking Mikshake and gifting them a 2nd rnd pick is sufficient donation in the AFL "ensure the competition continues" game to allow us exemption from any predatory moves from Essendon.

Should we have given him one more year? His kicking and possession out of half back would have been pretty valuable this year, but I guess we could not have foresaw the injuries to Lamumba and Salem (which is clearly the answer to my own question)

Lol Kicking off a half back??

Clearly never saw him play....

With Cross there it may not have given a chance to someone like Hunt. 

Loved his time at the club, but we made the right decision. 

Best runner

Best trainer

Great role model for the young 'uns in terms of elite fitness and application

Fin

PS His chip over the top to Salem for the winning goal was a beautiful kick

I wanted him to stay another year. But with Hunt and Wagner getting opportunities and doing well, it was definitely the right choice.

I find it funny how Cross was given such a reception last year like we'd never see him again and now he's hidden in plain sight as a runner. Surely he still gets an urge to intercept a mark at half back when delivering messages to players

Careful mate, Saty has just ridden in to remind you that you didn't play AFL, therefore you couldn't know a thing about it... better retract your statement, and fast!

Wow you really did take that personally...

Here il make it you easier for you and explain in real simple terms Pauline Henson.

I loved and admired Crossy for what he did and was one who disagreed with the decision to let him go at the time. But while he was still winning alot of the footy his penetration in his kicking was decreasing and was struggling to hit targets. 

And do you know whats even funny Satyriconhome? Crossy even admited this when i had a beer with him after playing against him this year at Albury. He now knows that he would have only taken a spot that maybe a Wagner or Hunt are playing now. We spoke about things but as he said then, in hindsight the club made the right decision.

Now was that too hard for you? Who am i kidding, you'll come back with some pathetic response like he always do.

But hang on... Doesn't he go down to training and tells em what they did wrong during the game?

Imagine your an AFL player and some crazy old fool comes down and  tells you how to play the game. Players would cringe and take the [censored] out him.

As the old saying goes.. 'Every club has one'.

He contradicts himself all the time.  You can't talk about the players if you haven't played AFL, yet he tells them what they did wrong all the time at training.  Strange.

Try not to type too fast you make mistakes

I thought you said whatever the players say to supporters when they ask questions is not to be believed, or is that not the case for you?

It is your opinion, the role he was playing didn't require him to do a lot of kicking, his role was to float around pissing on fires which he did exceptionally well

I also had a chat to him at the start of pre season

It is always you that has to denigrate, either players or posters, ever though the issue may be you, probably not, couldn't see through the narcissistic haze

Thought you might pop up and misinterpret what I said, whilst you have some backup of course, anybody can talk to a player, I just don't denigrate, if you denigrate then the player would be right to have an unfavourable opinion of you, if you discuss with them, they discuss, but as I have said, any answer from a player to a supporter is not to be believed surely?

Pathetic again eh?  Suggest maybe you and Wiseblood get a room and discuss things, maybe even a bit of footy

Wow!
