    Don't know, but probably immensely better than he did in an Essendon one.

    Lol, small problem with the reverse printing on Hibberds guernsey.

     

    Put a pair of dorky glasses and a cow lick on him, and there is a bit of the Clark Kents about Lewis.

    With the Lewis deal done, and us now knowing what picks we have now got, I wonder if we are offering Pick 29 and 68 for Hibberd and 41.

    Would give us our first pick at 41, but our 2nd pick at 57.

    Our desire to use 2017 2nd means we have someone in mind around 29 this year and/or we don't want to waste an entire year of prospect analysis by JT and the recruiting team by having first pick at 57.  If we have to do 29 for Hibberd it should be possible to trade next years 2nd to one of the clubs who end up with multiple 2nds this year.

    This explains why Dodo might be holding it up.

    Dunn and next year's 2nd to the Lions for a 2nd this year? (Dunns not a FA is he?)

    They may also have something in mind for next years first pick which would mean they wouldn't be able to use next years second. We may have to wait a while for their plans to play out.

    Had the same thought over the weekend.

    Currently

    Bris - 21 & 22 - 

    Gold Coast - 24 & 26

    Nth - 32 & 33

    GWS - 31 & 37

    So a few options for us. Id be aiming for one of GCS picks with them more than likely to have 3 picks before the pick 24 so could afford to shift one to 2017.

    Hands up if you thought dealing with dodo the insufferable was going to be straight forward.

    With reports suggesting that James Stewart has nominated Essendon as his club of choice ahead of Carlton, maybe we could get involved seeing as Essendon are playing hardball re: 2nd Round Picks.

    For example we send Garland (Patfull replacement) to GWS & Picks 29 & 57 to Essendon

    GWS send Stewart to Essendon & Pick 37 back to us.

    Essendon send Hibberd to us & Pick 41 to GWS

    So for us it's Garland, Picks 29 & 57 out. Hibberd & Pick 37 in.

    Essendon it's Hibberd & Pick 41 out.  Stewart & Picks 29 & 57 in.

    GWS it's Stewart & 37 out.  Garland & Pick 41 in.

    It's not bad. Don't think GWS do that we'll,  but they may not mind

    i don't think Garland has that degree of value. Good in theory though, would like to see us get some real value out of potential departing players like Dunn, Garland and maybe Dawes (wishful thinking with Dawesy though!!)

    On the AFL site it says the Hibberd deal has stalled over Essendon wanting our second round pick (This years), and we are only offering next years second round pick. So atm we are playing a game of chicken.

    Essendon are known to be horrible to deal with in trade week which is why i suspect noone has had a crack at pick 1, they overvalue everything.

    they need to understand they did the wrong thing by Hibbo and in part caused him to miss 12 months of his career, they owe it to him to not be tools about this, a future second round pick for him given he's missed 12 months is extremely fair.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
