Thanks Alpha.

I'd be interested to learn Essendon's motives for coming out of the ND with two PSD picks. Seems a bit odd to me.

Lock in Sampi for the PSD.

According to the Sunday HUN, we're going to take the risk and select him.

Great news if true. You can't overlook players who have kicked 4 and 5 goal hauls.

5 more new players - it's exciting - makes 11 new players at the club in 2008, quite a change from recent years.

My money is on Sampi.

I'd rather we took someone who we knew had the hunger and the commitment to play footy, but the club obviously feels his talent and ability cancel out the question marks that hang over his head... or so it seems.

Can't wait to be at the MCG, sitting in the MCC stand near the bench next season and screaming SAMPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When he kicks the exciting game defining goals.

Given his condition...it could be realistically 2009 before you do that

The thing I keep thinking to myself is ...are we that bloody desperate to pick up this bloke ( Sampi ) who whilst has a talent , quite frankly seems out of sorts on a number of fronts. Ppl seem resigned that he might not prove of much worth til 09 ?? Are we that RICH we can throw money away on "maybe's " ??

Id rather pick up a kid in the PSD which of course defeats the purpose of it, as you either pick em up in the Draft of as cheap and cheerfuls in the Rookie draft.

If he cant play in 08 then give him a big miss for me.

It has to be Sampi, every team needs an x factor, we dont have one at the moment. And kids are kids, we have enough now, we will rookie 4, so why take a young bloke that did not make the top 80 in the ND. Sampi would be a brilliant pick up, at alow cost.

i don`t think they would have perseirved with him for this long if they weren`t going to pick him, surely he`ll be fit after a full pre season

Given his condition...it could be realistically 2009 before you do that

Given his condition...it could be realistically in another lifetime when you do that

i don`t think they would have perseirved with him for this long if they weren`t going to pick him, surely he`ll be fit after a full pre season

just possibly to the contrary ...without any cost they give him the maximum period to prove to us he's worth a look.

Tomorrow wil tell

It has to be Sampi, every team needs an x factor, we dont have one at the moment.

A little harsh on Davey, perhaps?

Imgoing to go out on a limb here and pick Kangars.. Probably didnt pick him in the draft to allow room in the PSD for a look see at Sampi.. I think the Mfc now have seen enough ( or not !! ) to consider their decision and will now look to youth .

Im suspecting they might have to take Kangars NOW rather than the rookie draft in case he's snapped up by another team.

Still Noon tomorrow will see this right or wrong !!

If we want X factor we should be selecting Clayton Collard who has apparently been burning at Tigerland to the extent that it's been said they're trying to hide him.
