Bombers Implode

It looks like the Lions offer to Daniher will get Ess an end of first round comp pick at best.  So Ess now make demands of Lions to improve offer to Daniher or they will match to force a trade. 

Its time someone stopped their stupid ambit claims that disrupt the whole trade period.  Would love to see Lions call their bluff and let them match and threaten to walk away.

God the herald sun love getting Hird's father involved. The bloke only played 4 games for the dons. Now he is trying to blame David Evans. Seriously your son stuffed up and trusted the wrong people. 

My issue is I don't care if what was taken was illegal or not it was morally disgraceful what they did to the players. 

 

Maybe he needs one of those 'I did nothing wrong' T-shirts which are currently in vogue in state politics?

I want my—I want my MTV [4x]

You play your footy on the MCG

Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

I think that doesn't help Daniher or hurt Essendon though. Lions are probably paying way under what essendon can afford, so if they put the offer in at whatever it is, and Essendon match.. To me that equals Essendon winning big time as they get Daniher for a long term deal for way less money. So although i agree with you that it would be good to let them match as a stuff you, in this case it won't work (it would be a gift).

If Jeremy cameron was a restricted free agent (hypothetically) on the other hand and say he wanted to go to geelong for 50-100k more than GWS was offereing and GWS said no we are matching. Then that is a situation where i can see it [censored] GWS up as they are meant to be super tight on salary space (although surely with williams gone this isn't so much the case, but worst comes to worse they pay cameron more than they wanted to and they may lose another player later :).

Chicks for free? Sure you didn't mean to post this in the Jesse Hogan thread? Although his "chick" cost him 8k.

From what I read the issue with the Brisb offer it is for 3 years with a low base (and a lot of add-ons which is not unreasonable because no-one knows how many games he will play).  But the AFL FA comp formula of secret herbs and spices doesn't consider the add-ons. 

I would think the AFL and the PA would step in and arbitrate before Daniher is forced to stay at Ess. 

Lions calling Ess bluff to walk away would be to force them to be reasonable and not make ridiculous ambit demands of destination clubs and waste everyone's time.

Essendon start negotiations by asking for Curnow.

Carlton agree but ask for some loose change late draft picks, as they really value having a mature body in the midfield...

 

I mean, really, Saad for Walsh, Curnow or McKay is like... well, it's like trying to trade a very handy mature player for a young potential superstar.

They can have Curnow, He can replace Daniher on their injury list.

Brilliant.

What is the point of contracting players long term to a club they don't want to be at? Recipe for disaster, I'd reckon.

Yesterday, the last 3 teams left in the comp were all members of the cat family. Essendon, currently undergoing a crisis of culture, have decided to return to their true culture plus embrace that winning feline feeling, as the Essendon Cheetahs. Make Great Drugs Again.

I reckon he's talking about Dodoro, head list manager (and unliked by all clubs except for essendon)

He is teflon. Rutten goes before him. Dodoro is an 'Essendon person'. Expecting Hird to be in some role soon.

I hear Mitch McGovern might be part of the Saad deal...not quite Curnow, Walsh or Mackay but he's probably ok for them.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
