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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
