Moore... Going to be a good one.

What's happened to Lovett?

I think he has Crameri too... interesting mix of players that are no longer or appear to want out of Ess. Mate from the outside the Dons are trying to big ball it, whether they actually can is a different story. But the AFL will do what is can to "support" Ess in as many ways as it can... The other thing is that putting aside "no deal" Dodoro and his history I believe most clubs want a win win deal as they have to go back and trade again next year.

Campbell thinks it is, from The Age article: "You'd be trying to facilitate a trade," Campbell told SEN when asked what he would do if Hurley wanted to leave the club. In the work that we've done with the AFL and others, the grievance process we don't think is that option working with those parties. "And a lot of their (players') management groups have indicated if they did want to go, they'd work to a trade with the club. "You want players that want to be at your football club. Particularly given the period of time we've been through, if a player said that they didn't feel they could come back to the football club with everything that had happened, of course we work with them to go to another club but we'd also ensure that the club got a reasonable return in exchange for that player leaving a contract early and that's really important." http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-ceo-xavier-campbell-says-michael-hurley-free-to-leave-20160811-gqpy88.html

Yyyeeewwwww!!!!! Come on JH... Come join the party.. You know you want too....

Schwab was our Klink and Neeld our Shultz?

Was listening to bits and pieces of SEN just before and I am pretty sure Watson said he didn't think and Ess don't think contracted players will be able to walk from Ess. Any players wanting out ie Hurl and Hibb, will have to request a trade. The arrogance of that club.

Like Goddard going o the Dons as he wanted to play finals hahahahahha

I'm sure that is San Francisco:

All players have been given licence to take the game on ala Angus horrendous turn over Sat that lead to Gunstan goal. T Mac just needs to keep working on the brain farts, and our boys up field to keep providing enough space to put the ball into an attacking position.

Hhhmmm I think if we could get both Hibb and Hurl it adds a whole new dimension to the def structure. Hurl ability to body then really frees up T Mac to be that floating/marking/punching backman. Then Hurls foot skills, which are a step above Tmac again allows us to open up teams in a better way again. Hibb the same, good foot skills, then frees up Salem etc to push into the middle/fwd part of the ground.

I do hope we finish of the season with a big 3 weeks, give Hurls a few things to really ponder about our potential for success compared to others in market for him.

Holding off a 27yr old Smith whilst doing it.

I thought my eyes deceived me.. Nup, next level skill.

I guess if my raging [censored] had public wifi id scream at it like a lunatic too. Hope the people enjoyed it!

He was there best player by far on the day.

The last 8 mins of the 3rd was outstanding. Kicked his own goal and just served it on a platter to Viney and Jones. It was ridiculous!

Trident or Redlegs ding?

He was really good today, along with Frosty if they can keep the turn overs low, look like a formidable pairing. Works so hard across the ground, to make space and to position himself when coming back to kill opposition fwd entries. He has had some poor moments this year but would be bloody hard to replace. Sign him up.

We as fans see short term, win this week, the footy depth have looked at Oscar as long term. Today was reward for that. He will have his ups and downs but is looking a lot more comfortable at AFL.

Black is a poor mans Clarry. Guts, lots of guts as a first year player to get up after the Rioli bump and the very next contest he was in over it again and got the clearance. Gun!

True true

Cloke what a liability! Dawes>>>>>> Cloke

Sue have to totally disagree, the game then is netball. One of the beauties of our game is players coming from all angles with there eyes on the ball.
