Pulp Fritschon

Sure Brown is known for his lead and mark but the guy is 200cm. He will be a good target. Must admit I was a no on this at first but I am getting keen now. A proven goal kicker on our list is certainly a missing piece.

I’d take him. Use our 2nd round pick and offer a 3 year incentive based contract. Take the pressure off Weid

This would be good. I love the romance and he does have a good resume.

Have we been linked to Brown at all?

Good news! Was hoping this one was going to drop soon. Good player. Important player

Very happy with this as Adelaide must have been sniffing around. These two have shown enough to me that they could make it. Good signings.

If ANB can get a two year deal somewhere else I think it is best he takes it. He is decent enough depth I suppose but if we are to be any good anytime soon he will not be playing all that often.

Pretty much every deal the guy is involved in is hard work From memory - Carlisle to St Kilda went to mediation Stringer to Essendon went down to the last day Shiel to Essendon nearly fell over Joe D didn’t get done Essendon supporters love him. List manager of a club that hasn’t won a final since Adam was a boy. Hardly a great resume. Long may he continue in that role.

No doubt our midfield mix needs a change up. Whether that is personnel or tactics. If Viney left would we be better off? Not sure either way but probably not. But what I am very sure of given time to think about it is that seeing Viney running around in another jumper would be a very sad day. Hope he stays

Pleased to hear this. Always been impressed by Luke Ball. To me he looks like he would make a good footy GM. Be happy to take him in any role though. I was annoyed/jealous we he was first appointed at the Bombers and surprised to see they let him go. Hopefully somethings does come of this.

Might be best to make our intentions known this year and pick him up as a free agent next year. I can't see Essendon trading him this year unless we offer up overs and we have a very week draft hand as it stands.

RFA in 2021 interesting Also got dropped from leadership group in 2019 Good player finds a heap of the ball. Would suit us. Hard to see us having the currency to satisfy.

Didn’t think that much of him yesterday to be honest. Seems to just burst out of blocks and make it up as he goes Sam Frost style. Not sure that manic movement is what we need. Salem was awesome yesterday and really stood out with his composure and skills. Same with Rivers and these are the type of players we need not Saad in my opinion.

I'd have him. Watched him last night. He is very outside and waits in space to get used as Landgon does. Fit perfectly for us. 4th club is a red flag but I believe Port very much wanted to keep him just North came up with a massive offer as they missed on everyone else they chased prior. Left Brisbane with not much form to return home.

Haha Preuss does have some currency to the right club. GWS must be desperate. They could cough up something good - Jye Caldwell could be of interest to us if Viney/Brayshaw leave.

He got dropped after the Carlton game - Media made some connection that he was supposed to play a defensive game on Cripps and Shaw didn't rate it. Assume they don't rate him defensively/team first attitude ect. He actually got coaches votes in that game. Assume only by Teague. To me he is the guy they Viney and Oliver would handball to after they gather the ball in close. He has a nice step and change of direction. I wouldnt give up much to get him but a swap of sorts with Tmac would work

Essendon have offered him a 4 year deal. They want him. They won’t be letting him go unless they get way overs. I wouldn’t be getting involved.

Send Tmac to North for Polec. Both contracted on good coin and on the outer.

Saad would be ok but having to deal with Essendon on a trade I couldn't think of anything worse. Id rather leave it.

Good to get back on the tier 1 grounds Great win - It was a tough week. Could have done without that last GWS goal. Was looking forward to a stress free last 30 secs. Not to be.

List management nightmare. Guy on decent coin with multiple years left that can't get a game. Will have to pay some of his salary to move him on you would think.

Goodwin said we need to be ruthless as a club. Jack Viney running around for someone else. Ruthless indeed. If so mixed feelings and anywhere but Essendon.

Freo played with good system. We played with none. They made zero changes we made 7. We are spent. The season is a joke. Living in hubs, 4 days breaks, Dees travelling every game and playing on tier 2 grounds. The boys have had enough. They will look forward to getting back to their own beds. Be interesting to see our off field moves heading into 2021. List needs some tinkering and just wonder if we will trade out someone unexpected. We need to change our mix. I am going to back Goody in. Wake me up round 1 2021

Out: Oscar, Jones, ANB, Smith, Wagner In: Kozzie, VDB, Hibberd, Lockhart, Bennell

Played in the 2nds practice match last week so isn’t injured I’d be surprised if we saw him again this season. To me he has just the lacked physicality needed. Onto season 2021 with a solid preseason under his belt and hopefully we see the Harley of old.
