Ah, missed that. Apologies.

And that's the first I heard Adelaide bidding pick 7. Interesting. I thought they were excluded from the first two rounds that year.

Port Adelaide, not Adelaide I think.

But Port picked Wines as their first rounder. I'm confused.

Yep, port used their first pick to bid on Jack Viney. After that failed, they picked Ollie Wines.

It was Port.

Puts an interesting spin on the Wines story - he was essentially their third choice!

Put a Port in the front of it and it'll work.

Was just mentioned on SEN that Hurley is 50/50 to be at Essendon and Melbourne is a massive chance due to the Simon Goodwin relationship..

Giddy up!

...so not a reporter then. :-(

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Geez we need this one. Add another class outside mid either by trade or draft/development and we have the makings of a side well and truly capable of finals.

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,213]

Solely dependent on Hurley being allowed to void his contract, as he's already signed up until the end of 2017.  Can't see Essendon rolling over and can't see the AFL being too helpful either.

Damn you DD. Don't get our hopes up like that, and then demoralise us with the post above.

I was of the understand the 12 banned players were able to leave at the end of serving their 12 months ban, irrespective of when their current contract ended. They would be treated as de-listed free agents if they chose to leave.

My understanding is that is something of an untested hypothetical.  In theory, there is a clause that could potentially make them de-listed free agents, but it would definitely be vigorously contested.

i don't think that has actually been approved officially so it is still supposition. it was aflpa's opinion 

doubt essendon would go to court on it, but who knows. if a player doesn't want to be there in this environment doesn't make sense to force him

This makes sense. From what I remember reading it had to do with the AFLPA confirming the suspended players were free to quit Essendon. 

My guess is the AFL wont approve it as it will mean Essendon will be down the bottom for even longer (If more players decide to leave).

if the afl get involved they'll probably put up a facebook poll to seek opinions - LOL

Interesting.

Last week Slobbo was banging on about Essendon retaining 10/12 of the drug cheats.

The only 2 that weren't coming back were Pears and Howlett, only because Essendon didn't want them.

[brendan 3,421]

Was also said that Richmond have offered him a 5 year deal at 900k per year that's just rediculous money 

[Dee1987 277]

Apart from money not sure he has other links to Richmond?? Correct me if I'm wrong? I've been saying Hurley to help bolster our defence

[Guest]

If Robbo is saying he is a chance to leave it probably isn't far off the truth, he is a mad Bombers fan and wouldn't be passing on bad information about Essendon.

[brendan 3,421]

Tigers would want him to play next to riewoldt, I hope we can land him but at what cost 

[GCDee 3,111]

Hypothetically if he wants to come to us, and doesn't/cannot void his contract what would you entertain in the form of a trade?
