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!

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.

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).

Gee those blokes are real news-breakers aren't they. Really hedging their bets.

Clowns.

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.

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.

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?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
