Who’s Dean Terlich? Never heard of him lol.

Stoked for Hunty though, do miss him but glad he’s valued out West.

Dean Terlich was one of those players plucked from nowhere who had noticeable limitations, but gave his all every time he pulled on the jumper. Certainly didn't die wondering and gave it his best crack.

Congrats to Hunty and feel for him having to end up at WC but I reckon I could have come top 10 in the WC b&f

Prescient!

I’d love to claim credit for my top 5 B&F call for Hunty back in June, but as long as an Eagles player was upright and available week in week out, then he’d be a fair chance for top 5.

Poor man’s Viney.

Where else was he gonna go? My point is he didn’t wanna leave us.

He had other options. West Coast gave him a three year deal I believe.

And you're right, He didn't want to leave.

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825]

There is a few players doing well that we've lost that wouldn't get a game with us, that are going well else-where.

Hunt, Bedford, McInerney, Weideman,....one or two others, that I can't think of.

It shows how deep our list has been in recent years.

Wow that’s seriously mean to Viney.

On ya Hunt! better to play for WC than Casey. if we had of kept him i couldn’t imagine he would have played more than 2-3 games. He just never showed the consistency. 

He could very well reinvent himself though. WC have to improve and i’d love to see him develop further 

[layzie 34,528]

It was a good move for Jayden in regards to more game time but nothing else.

Well done mate!

If I’m watching footy and it’s a non Demons game I barrack for the following players:

Jayden
Jesse Hogan
Toby Bedford

Those 3 always gave everything for us. Jayden’s story is well documented here, Jesse had far too much to deal with personally before he turned 23, and Toby had a frustrating few seasons of limited chances with us, and has been great this year.

I have a ‘mafia’ mentality with certain players. If you gave your all for the family then the only way out of the family is in a pine box.

It’s a bit of a stretch to describe Oscar McInerney as a player we lost; he was never Melbourne listed and he spent most of his time at Casey kicking around in the twos.

Add Oskar Baker to your list.

I disagree re inconsistency as he played 40 games in his last 2 years with us.

But I do agree re less games if he stayed - he would have lost games this year to McVee.

Remember when Langdon "Got what he deserved"? 

Not that we need motivation but I hope that one is stuck on the bathroom exit door at least.

You’ll like the story about Howe in todays Age then Jaded. Him waffling on about how he wasn’t getting the best out of himself at Melbourne and needed a change.

He left us for better money at a bigger club. He left us when we were struggling - after we plucked him from obscurity and gave him every opportunity. He can dress it up however he wants, but we all know the truth.

Weideman?!?!?! We have very different interpretations of what doing well means. 

[Smokey 4,391]

Always loved Jayden, so happy for him

Essendon forums havent exactly been complimentary when Weidemans name pops up. Liked him early on then fizzled out. Everyone knew it would happen. Next year make or break for him.

Hunt  Hogan and Bedford doing well but we've done better from the trades.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,064]

Thought this might be a reasonable place to acknowledge and congratulate Jayden Hunt on his 4th placing in the WC B&F.

Although the current state of the Eagles list somewhat tempers the achievement, I still think it's a good effort from Jayden to be a consistently good performer in a struggling side.

Jayden certainly gave the impression that he was a pretty solid citizen  at the MFC and I'm guessing his contribution to WC will likely go beyond his 4th B&F on feild placing.

Shows how far the MFC has come in the past 5 years, when we were the ones recycling excess tallent and experience from the lists of others, where we have now become an exporter of such tallent ourselves, with Hunt, Baker, Bedford, Jackson and to an extent Weiderman.

You could tell in those final games lasy year how much success he wanted with the dees. Was seriously desperate in trying to win the ball. Wish Jackson played with as much heart in the end. He looked like he was out the door.

He got games....which he wouldn't have with us.

He started ok, then went back to his usual poor form.

I ribbed my Bomber mates about them giving him John Coleman's number!!
