Thanks for this Little Richard and sorry for the delay in responding. Can be a long time between drinks in this thread but you do occasionally find yourself coming on here when things aren't great! I think there is definitely merit to the idea of letting anxiety or an attack happen, it's a bit like the 'stay still' approach and the bear won't see you kind of thing. The only time I'm not too confident about using it is while driving, it's the one place where it legitimately feels like a panic attack could bring serious danger. Anyway thanks for this post, this second half of the year has been tougher but hopefully it looks up.

It's bold, very bold. Obviously want to get experience into the club and getting pick 12 back doesn't hurt in an even draft. Carlton would be laughing though.

To reiterate what I said about Sloane, I don't see why ex players with next to no coaching experience are being touted as the all important midfield coach replacement that we so badly need. I'm not opposed to bringing good leadership into the club and I would love to see Jonesy back in some form but throwing these guys into the fire in what seems to be a pretty extensive role doesn't gel with me.

At least I can still call Tholstrup 'Dirk' now.

The way Trac is training he could be one of the most feared people on Earth.

Who cares.

Houston, you have a problem

If 49 gets it done for Sharp I'll be very happy.

A small part of me thinks yes. But a much more accurate part of me says no.

I might be cynical cyril here but I think that we actually should be focussing mostly on the draft this year. The trade period is as slow as a wet week and there isn't much worth a pinch of poop. Not interested in using it for Houston either, that feels like one of those hot days where 5 people are fighting it out for the last ice cream in the milk bar.

I think we've given up all our steak knives

Yeah but isn't it a good thing if the club is doing what we want ie. getting higher picks?

Gotta nail these picks and not be annoyed if we bomb next year making Essendon's pick a really good one. Playing a longer game.

I was excited about Sharp. I'm surprised we gave up 40, 46 and 54 as a couple of those might have helped get it done. Stoked with 5 and 9 but would have liked to keep some bargaining chips.

Happy with 9 but did we need to give up that many picks? Was hoping we would still package something up for one in the 20s.

Yep, total joke of a line and not good enough

Not a great article

Set to get it, let's hope so. And i think it's a brilliant move to get two picks inside the top 10. Reid, Lalor, Langford, O'Sullivan and I'm starting to warm to Draper as well, any of those would be beautiful

Hopefully next year is his year

It's good news but the name sounds like some kind of witchcraft pisshead

This is no way to live

It's like WWE storylines all over the place

No bottom 6 is a perfectly fair assumption.
