I am not one to spread unfounded rumours, but I have just heard a good one. My source (who is very close to an Essendon player's family), shall remain unnamed.

The proposed deal is that Melbourne take Ricky Dyson in exchange for Chris Johnson, in a rare player for player swap.

My original reaction was pretty skeptic, as I think they are two pretty similar type of players. But now that I think about it Dyson would be a good pick up. He's quick with very good disposal. The question is whether its a fair trade??

Thoughts?

we would do well to get him.

i like dyson as he can play the game and is a genuine ball carrier

ricky dyson just signed a one year deal i think?

Thats strange, cos Dyson just signed a 1 year deal with th Bombers

The differance is, Ricky Dyson actually showed something, Chris Johnson has shown nothing. Why would the Bombers want a dud like cj.

Like I said, I'm just the messenger. Kennedy just signed a two year deal with Carlton as well....and he got moved on.

Dyson is ok. Cj is ok. It is a bit like swapping coke for diet coke. Sure, one has less calories, but they both still stain your teeth!

Is it really worth it? May as well run another season with Cj and see how he goes now that the backline depth has thinned out. A new coach blooding youth will allow CJ to make an error or two, so he might start to develop.
