Essendon is also allowed to promote their entire rookie list.

yeah, i know, but there are still restrictions for everybody on total list size and total playable size

if ess promote >2 rookies and recruit 10 top-ups then surely a top-up has to go on the rookie list?

I believe Essendon are allowed to promote 5 of their six rookies (they have two category B rookies) as well as adding up to 10 players. PA will promote 2 rookies, leaving them one player short of Essendon.

They would do well to appoint 'Action Jackson' to pull them into some semblance of respectability.

For the benefit of the competition, I would be open to him leaving the MFC.

Happy to agree but only if you mean Wayne Jackson or, at a pinch, Mark Jackson. (Or there again, maybe not for Mark).

Old Whacko Jacko would slot straight in.

Really bothers me that there is almost a celebration of the players that are being signed as top up players, in my opinion the top ups should not be selected ahead of any of the remaining listed players and only used in the case of injuries, remembering that this situation has come about as a punishment, and really it's just becoming a case of minimizing the damage.

Bring back Wayne, and it will put a bit more humour back into Brownlow night....  "Essendon ...Blake Carraa-chella... 1 vote"

I thought this thread would be about picking Essendon's list apart like a carcass.

I'd be in Hurley's ear right now trying to lure him to the MFC.

Of course some of our more sanctimonious supporters won't want a "drug cheat" at the club, but I'm far more interested in trying to win a flag.

To avoid starting another thread, the article on the AFL website is a reminder that several clubs are sniffing out Hurleys manager.

This is where the Goodwin factor will come in, but more importantly having a strong and exciting 2016.  Hope we pillage their list and take their talent.

Don't want to start a new thread about these scum, but had to post my disgust WRT Anzac day.

 

After having their rights to the day questioned, their response:

"“Everyone understands this game is about Essendon and Collingwood. It’s why the game is played, it’s the clubs that have driven it for so long."

 

I always thought it was meant to be about remembering the diggers

Demonlanders shudder with fear that if the Demons are a basket case, then good players will want to leave. Let's hope by the end of the year Essendrug is such a basket case that that applies to their good players too - regardless of where the players actually go.

I had no info at the time, but Mark Harvey has told a good source that Melbourne are right into Hurley.

Now I know a lot of clubs would be, but Melbourne was specifically mentioned. The only club mentioned. 

Who knows ?  He'll probably stay, but he might want a fresh start and at 24-25 he might not see a flag at Essendon.  Plenty of his mates have moved on, including Melksham.  And he'll also be familiar with Goodwin.

I hope we go hard.  Hogan up front, Hurley down back with that developing midfield could be very exciting. 

I'm sure the Hawks and Pies, etc. will be just as keen.

Did that really say that? I'd hope not because that's a seriously repugnant perspective on what Anzac day's all about.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
