Oliver came off in clear discomfort with his shoulder again. Went back on with the red non contact hat on. He's definitely carrying the injury.

Yep

This from my mate who's a mad Bombers supporter. Pros: He has a huge tank and will literally run all day leading to flanks (like a decoy at times) creating space inside 50. Can kick well beyond 50 and tends to take a lot of his shots on goal from 40+ so his goal accuracy is probably negatively skewed given the degree of difficulty for his shots on goal. Cons: Not good in one-on-one contests, not a key forward despite his height, forward pressure almost non-existent. Overall he’s a handy depth player. Probably not in best 22 but ready to go when needed (i.e. no Daniher, Stewart). Underrated by most Essendon supporters but his running capacity alone makes him an asset and his long kicking is elite.

He's a very good chance to still be there at our pick 8.

100% a forward and from what i hear will train as a forward this pre season.

No he won't

When I watch his highlights on the NAB app I can see his kicking skills but I'm not seeing much pace.

There's absolutely zero chance we'll swap our first round pick in any deal to get Langdon.

We've got our eye's firmly on pick 2.

St Kilda could offer him a lot more cash, our salary cap is getting stretched.

No I understand Hill for 2nd round and pick swaps maybe a younger player?? Pick swaps? Are we talking later picks? Younger player i assume would be steak knives. Still think they'd demand a 1st round pick regardless but that's just my opinion.

2nd round for Hill? no way they'd except that. They'll want a 1st round pick for sure. Does anyone know if we can trade a future 1st this year?

I think you just take best available at that point in the draft whoever that may be, that's my opinion anyway. There's plenty other ways to fill needs.

Speaking to a recruiter from another team last night, we'd want Rowell or Anderson if we finish that low but Hayden Young is a name climbing up the draft boards.

I'm all for players holding each other to account but just say what you need to say and move on.

We've got no hope, forget about it.

It was just really positive to see Jack moving freely with that zip, I haven't seen that for a long time now. I'd just about conceded the foot injury had robbed him of his best footy.

Let me guess we rushed Lever back for QB when he should've come back after the bye...

He'll be fine we know he's a quality player. Just quietly the guy who out bodied him was a lump of a lad and was in prime position a couple of times. Moving forward May will take the big boys and depending on match ups id even have Frost in the team just to make sure we can always free up Lever to roam and play the intercept role, I'm not sure where that will leave Marty Hore.

I arrived at halftime and saw him outmarked in a 1v1 contest 3 times which resulted in his opponent kicking goals. I definitely think he needs a couple more weeks at Casey but yes it's definitely a positive he got through unscathed, he'll be better for the run.

Does anyone have any updates on AVB, Hannon & Joel Smith? Wouldn't mind all three in our forward line.

Well he should fit in with the rest of our mids then.

Weideman's price going down by the second.

After reading your post I'm definitely doing the same!

So Jesse has clinical anxiety because he's moved from Melbourne FC to Fremantle FC?
