We won't be getting pick 11 for him. pick 32 more likely.

I think we'll take pick 32 for him.

I think it will be more likely pick 46.

No not needed we will only have one or 2 draft picks then. Tomlinson and Schache as required players baffles me. Doesn't give us much to play with. McAdam for Jordon's pick and Fullerton for Harmes pick. Rookie Melksham. That leaves with Grundy's pick, pick 13, 26, 34 which we can package for pick for pick 10. In the draft we have picks 5 and 10 and K.Brown as a late pick and we'll have 1 rookie pick.

I put Moniz-Wakefield in the middle because we have too many small forwards. If I had my way I’d delist Schache and put Moniz-Wakefield forward pocket.

He should have kicked that goal against Carlton that was a bad miss.

How the hell has Essendon become a destination club? They were woeful at the end of the year. I hope we don't go with any 30-year-olds like Bruest, Hawkins, and so on. Invest in youth. If Mathieson comes to the club I might just give it away worst player I have seen. I don't mind McAdam if you think he is a better version of Chandler and Spargo. Fullarton isn't a bad idea as second ruck playing predominantly in the reserves. I thought Schache could do that not sure why he is still on our list. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, D.Turner, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, McAdam, Smith SUB: Chandler EMERG: Spargo, Woewodin, Laurie Casey B: K.Turner, Adams, K.Brown HB: Howes, Tomlinson, Draft Pick C: Woewodin, Laurie, Draft Pick HF: Chandler, McDonald, Spargo F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Schache FOLL: Fullerton, Moniz-Wakefield, Draft Pick IC: Melksham, Sestan, Verrall, Farris-White That gives us 2 picks 5 and 13 and 1 rookie, unless they think K.Brown will be rookied then that's 3 picks 5, 13 and 24. Melksham will be rookied and D.Turner will go on the senior list.

Edwards the WA ruckman I thought we had pick 32?

Happy with this hopefully Dew replaces Stafford.

Keep up the good stuff Nudge. Dazzle is Dazzle he's harmless. Don't let him put you off posting.

I'm all for McKay it will allow Petty to go back. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Petty, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, McKay, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, McAdam, J.Smith SUB: Chandler Our time is now get it done dees

I think we should make our best 22 the best it could possibly be BACKLINE: McVee keeps his spot, May keeps his spot, Lever keeps his spot. Rivers keeps his spot, we have no CHB Tomlinson is useless and Turner has had limited opportunities that's a spot we should look to cover trade week or draft night. Salem needs to improve to keep his spot that's another position we should try to cover trade week or draft night. Bowey keeps his spot.Noble should be looked at IMO. Howes is depth ATS. MIDFIELD : Langdon needs to improve to keep his spot. Oliver keeps his spot, Hunter keeps his spot. Gawn keeps his spot, Brayshaw keeps his spot, Viney keeps his spot and Sparrow keeps his spot. We need another midfielder and I think Sanders will be our man. We should look at Hollands IMO. Woewodin is depth ATS. FORWARDS: Petracca keeps his spot, van Rooyen keeps his spot, Neal-Bullen keeps his spot. Fritsch keeps his spot, Petty keeps his spot and Pickett keeps his spot. J.Smith keeps his spot too. Spargo, Laurie and Chandler are depth ATS. We are looking at McAdam. CONCLUSION: I think we need a CHB, a half back, a wingman and midfielder and pray we don't get injuries to our best 22.

I would have a crack at Hollands. Looks the goods and with Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan gone he should get a game.

Yeah I was probably a bit harsh on Rivers, but I tried my best

1 Petracca 2 Viney 3 May 4 Lever 5 Oliver 6 Gawn 7 Brayshaw 8 Fritsch 9 Neal-Bullen 10 Hunter 11 Rivers 12 Pickett 13 van Rooyen 14 Melksham 15 Bowey 16 Petty 17 McVee 18 Sparrow 19 Chandler 20 Langdon 21 Salem 22 J.Smith 23 Tomlinson 24 Hibberd 25 Spargo 26 Jordon 27 Harmes 28 Laurie 29 Grundy 30 McDonald 31 Woewodin 32 Brown 33 D.Turner 34 Schache 35 Howes 36 Dunstan 37 Moniz-Wakefield 38 Jefferson 39 D.Smith 40 Verrall 41 Sestan 42 Adams 43 K.Turner 44 Farris-White

I've decided to pick my best 44 way in advance for round 1 B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Turner, Salem C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, J.Smith FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Bowey, Sanders (pick5), Sparrow, McAdam (swap for Tomlinson) SUB: Chandler Casey B: Jiath (pick 24), Adams, K.Brown (pick 87) HB: Howes, Schache, Leake (pick 13) C: Woewodin, Laurie, Stephens (swap for Grundy) HF: Spargo, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Sestan, Jefferson, Grey (Casey) FOLL: Edwards (pick 32), Hollands (swap for Harmes), White (Casey) IC: Farris-White, Verrall, Rookie, Rookie SUSPENDED: Pickett

That's the best 44 for the year the next installment won't have D.Smith, Hibberd, Dunstan and anybody else who leaves during trade week.

I've done the end of season review all wrong. This is the real best 44 B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, J.Smith, Melksham SUB: Chandler Casey B: D.Smith, Adams, K.Turner HB: Howes, D.Turner, Hibberd C: Woewodin, Dunstan, Laurie HF: Spargo, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Schache FOLL: Grundy, Harmes, Jordon IC: Farris-White, Verrall, Sestan, White, Munro

So what's the draft supposed to look like. 1 Read WC 2 Walter GC 3 Curtin NM 4 McKersher NM 5 Duursma HAW 6 Watson BULL 7 Sanders MEL Can someone like Norm Smith give us a more detailed phantom draft?

How can they trade up they already have pick 2 and 3?

Bad luck Trac always the bridesmaid never the bride.

Casey B: K.Turner, Tomlinson, K.Brown HB: Howes, Adams, Draft pick C: Woewodin, Harmes, Spargo HF: Sestan, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Schache FOLL: Verrall, Laurie, Draft pick IC: Farris-White INJURED: Melksham

This is the end of season review. There will be a after trade week review followed by an after drafts review, then a pre season review. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, D.Turner, Bowey C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, Smith FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Pick 5, Sparrow, McAdam SUB: Chandler Casey B: K.Turner, Tomlinson, K.Brown HB: Howes, Adams, Draft pick C: Woewodin, Harmes, Spargo HF: Sestan, McDonald, Melksham F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Moniz-Wakefield FOLL: Schache, Laurie, Draft pick IC: Verrell, Farris-White SUSPENDED: Pickett ADDED: McAam, K.Brown GONE: Jordon, Grundy, Hibberd, Dunstan, D.Smith

Would be amazed if Brown didn't retire his knee is shot. If McDonald knows what's good for him he'll retire as well the game has passed him.
