WERRIDEE

Why isn't he what we need?

Ely Smith and Turner for mine. Inside and outside mid. Bedford 54 Reynolds 62 Anderson 91 Lockhart Rookie. Taylor said we don't need a tall we already have Bradtke developing.

Welcome Wags now head down and bum up. He is definitely better than his brother but that doesn't mean he'll be playing senior football any time soon. Good luck don't let a second chance pass.

I don't expect him to name the player but I'd expect him to say if we are interested or not.

Why didn't you ask Josh if we were picking up a delisted free agent this year?

The good thing is they won't be rushing back Lever. I would hate to see him do another knee for the third time. Give him the 12 months off and I don't expect him to be back in the team until Rnd 10.

I like it. Spargo the unlucky one to miss out and Lever won't play rnd1. Hopefully Fritsch takes Lever's spot and cements a place in the 22.

Loved the game. It's the first time I've watched a '86 game. Garry's first game you could just tell he was a natural forward. Unfortunately I didn't see the best of Robbie due to injury. Love the series if I was able to request a game it would be '98 against West Coast away with half the team out and Robbo on fire we won the unwinnable.

You're not the voice of reason you're the voice of stupidity. To base your opinion on 3 games is ridiculous. KK will be a good pick up just wait and see.

CASEY SIDE 2019 B: LOCKHART, HUTCHINS, FRITSCH HB: C.WAGNER, FROST, J.WAGNER C : STRETCH, MAYNARD, BAKER HF: KENNEDY HARRIS, KEILTY, MACHAYA F: SCOTT, T.SMITH, GARLETT FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARGO, VINCE IC: J.SMITH, PETTY, MUNRO, WHITE

Realistically Hutchins should retire he can only play full back and we have plenty of full backs. Vince would be the perfect captain for Casey.

Kennerley's kicking doesn't look too flash but you can put him amongst players like Duursma, Sturt, Turner, O'Halloran, E.Smith as midfielders around the mark of 23 to 28. McKenzie is a steal at 61. Hind is the exact player we should be after at 82. Can someone take away my thoughts on Williams being the next Juice Newton? he even has his number. I don't think we need him another midfielder or small forward would be better. Bedford as expected has his bid matched after 28 and before 54.

Everybody should be replicating Gawn's fitness regime he's close to the best player in the AFL.

A pass mark is to make the finals, that's for every team. Realistically we should be aiming for the grand final.

Party for 5 months only stopping to watch the grand final replay countless times and try and get a bit of sleep in between.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-04/worth-a-look-15-tempting-delisted-free-agents Partington has my interest can get the ball and his kicking can be worked on.

I think we should risk Tom and Sam in the ruck. If Gawn goes down we are in trouble if both Preuss and Gawn go down we are unlucky. Tom Campbell isn't AFL standard. Develop Bradtke in the reserves don't need Campbell or any other reject ruckman.

No we don't we have Weideman and McDonald. Don't need another project ruckman like King and Filipovic, Bradtke is enough.

What you think about Rubock was impressive in the Acadamy series? I noticed you haven't got him in your phantom draft. He addresses the small forward needs.

Garlett is no where near enough. We need 2 small forwards Bedford and Rubock. 2 half backs Duursma and Ayton-Delaney. A half forward in Sturt. 2 wingers maybe Partington and C.Wagner and a back pocket maybe Lockhart.

We don't need any of those really. speed on the outside and small forwards is what we need.

Great draw. Only 5 sunday games. Which is great and blockbuster games against Richmond, Collinwood and Essendon. Can't ask for much more than that. BRING ON 2019.

Just another load of crap done by none other than Garry Lyon. I can't believe how such a great player can be such a poor expert. He should have given the game away when he picked Bailey when no one in their right mind would.

Sheil must be the greatest footballer to ever play the game if Essendon are to improve that much. They will improve but they are not premiership material. 5th to 8th is where I see them.
