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).

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

    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.

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

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
