Nah i dont mind people who provide inside info, whether its Melbourne or Essendon.

Not sticking up for Braysure but all of his info turned out correct and many got stuck into him for simply saying Hurley wasn't coming to us. Dont think many gave him a chance at all to see if he was correct indeed.

Agree but impersonating a Demon's supporter is a banable offence.

There is only one poster who deserves every bit of a wack that comes his way especially after the Patrick Dangerfield Josh Kennedy debacle that led everyone on a merry go round. He was taking the [censored] with everyone and somehow managed to get away with it. Yet many on here are willing to bow down and worship him. I dont.. He goes on to mention that Prestia will choose us, again how did that turn out? when clearly me and you saw that the Dees shut the door on him as soon as he turned us down and we git Oliver. We were never in the hunt this year fair to say?

Yes, his info was correct. Kudos to him/her

Most of us got stuck in, because we could clearly see he was an essedon supporter posing as one of us, and we take exception to that in whatever way we see fit.

Salem strikes me as the perfect winger, playing on the opposite side to Stretch.  Both are calm under pressure, use the ball well and run to the right positions.  Hunt may also push up into that role as well.

I think Vince and Melksham may play that veteran, half back role for us which will release some of those players to have a spot further up the field.  

Yes I agree Wise we dont really need him especially if we actually have to trade for him

Was interested when we could get him for free but no interest now.Lets develop our own. BTW i am not sure he was ever really available so 25 pages and lots of tim elost for ever

Hibberd would be a really solid get for us and I still hope we land him. He'd be another really strong and experienced defender that'd help glue that back six.

And on the Salem issue, I would absolutely hate to lose him.

Have said it before, but as soon as he has one uninterrupted pre-season and season of footy, I think we'll all see how important he'll be as one of our young core. 

I don't think we have much to fear there, Steve.  The club seem to rate him highly and he was even in the discussion of being a replacement for Garlett, and he's only had a few games back in the VFL.  They know his quality and they know what he can bring to the side.  I can't see him going anywhere, and certainly not for Hibberd.

Is that legal?

In your view?

If he is told he will get x, but 50% of that we will treat as compo for settling with you, yes it is legal. More importantly, the AFL will not interfere.

i still find it quite strange the essendrug players suing for compensation (seemingly without much opposition) when they were found guilty by cas and no essendon officials were charged or found guilty (by wada/cas). i know there was worksafe charges sustained against the club, but still

it just seems to give the bad impression that convicted drug cheats can profit financially in the courts (or the threat of court action)

I don't know if they have sued or will sue, i am just suggesting ways they can do deals.

If this happens or has happened it will be interesting to see how long it takes for Eddie to roll into town.

His club has already been made to look a tad stupid over Hurley...

I think his club is looking stupid over its own performance.

wasn't referring to you, red and yes as i understand it they have only threatened to sue and a deal is being done to pay compensation to avoid a court case

just saying that the guilty getting compensated doesn't sit quite right with me, though i sort of understand why

Credit to braysure. He certainly had the inside word.

It was an inside job

Wasn't there a financial impediment in the ban as well, or are they allowed to go to the AFL  ATM as required. Anyone.

It beggars belief how much money has slipped and continues to slip through Essendrug's fingers. If it's not legal fees, it's fines, or its Hird's hush money and o/s study, or its player compo or its over inflated contracts to keep players.....

Guys like Paul Little and Andrew Muir must be continually pulling blank cheques out of their pockets. 

Wonder if they're funding the Hird Junior's school fees in Paris.

Wouldn't be the first time the guilty have prospered.

Hurley is now a no go situation,I hope Hibberd is. O'Mac is going to be much better. We do need to recruit another backman surely we can get one off the footy factory GWS !!!!

Beat me to it! Reporting the same on SEN just now. Dees in the box seat they reckon..

Good news for us. We're one step closer to landing him. He'll be a good half back flanker for us, offers great rebound, and it would allow Salem and Vince to play full time midfield.

Yep, reported by Caro just then on 3AW. Has requested a trade, presumably to us.

His Dad will be cross

Pretty much lock him in now.

Poor statement.  It gives essendon the upper hand in negotiations. 

Hibbo and Milkshakes, come on down
