^^link seems broken ^^ Three years for me as coach: Roos (May 22 - 2014)

Young Demon Toumpas struck down with appendicitis "MELBOURNE youngster Jimmy Toumpas has been diagnosed with acute appendicitis and will miss the next four to six weeks" Hope you recover quickly Lad best of luck

Frawley has to be band 1...which then goes to round 1 . But is that after pick or end of round ? The bias will be political....I bet on it

sources ? What has she recycled that really wasnt in the public domain anyway, well, for anyone with an ounce of investigative fervour that is.

lol

good point re age./.forgot that.. He'll be about the youngest so far ?

any of the contenders wishing to shore up their defenses. It will in large depend whos actually around on the market to be bought...The ol supply and demand thing.. it may not be exact currency but I can see him going for 4 ( maybe 5 ) years for somewhere around 650+ pa. New salary caps may lift the money. Hawks will have the room and a need for a back. Kitties would like him but maybe not for top dollar but it will still be serious coin. Suns might open their wallets as they sniff a window perhaps and the timing might work for them. Dare I say...a certain team just north of the city might be looking for players soon !!

I see Frawley going for a similar amount as Goddard. A 1st rounder wold be applicable youd think. Now then would there be some consideration given for the PP we didnt and never will get and see it given as a 1st rounder after our pick? One of the louder dissenters towards us has their plate full with other things currently so who knows. Of course it will also depend on any other free agency movements inbound to us.

As RPFC alludes Im sure the compo "equation" ..."formula" call it what you will is probably nothing more than a round circle thinking of convenience made up on the fly. There seems to be more variation applied than any fixed determnations.

Dont think Boyds going anywhere either. but it intrigues me why some wouldnt consider him.. We salivated at the idea of Clark Dawes and Hogan Id be quite chuffed with Hogan Dawes and Boyd.. All conjecture really

He wouldnt add to our line up ? just asking

would have signed a 2year deal by now already then....just saying

Essentially right. They will remove all the eggs from just one basket sts. This is also why they might listen to suitable trades, even ones that on the surface seem ludicrous. I did say listen though,and thats often a distance from agree !!

well we'll know soon enough

I reckon its a pretty handy thing to have someone to kick it to.

Frawleys value re compo is based upon the his market worth going forward. i..e the length and remunerative value of the contract he's given. His CV as such will play no real part in it. Frawley brings a quality to the backline but only when he's switched on otherwise at crucial times he can be just as much a liability as an asset. We've done ok and indeed improved our defence with and without him. Going to be interesting observing Chip over the rest of the season. Only Roos and Chip seem to know what is really going on

nicely revisionist !!! lol There is no logical reason to give the players Thymomodulin, it would serve no purpose. He really is just taking everyone for fools the smug bastard !!

You have no right writing that...Now go and drink a glass of Rosey-ness and a a slice or two of blinkered-pie and once saty-sfied you two can suggest we've got the cattle but its just a wait on development !!

Well there was a story....its been pretty much the same one all along. Take the Harcourt thing aside though that in itself has also been around for a while too, its just now resurfaced. Caro gives Essendon a whack essentially for the gall displayed and contempt for their own. She cites their delusion and lack of remorse. This story, or elements to such has been the constant through out and she now comes along all but Johnny come lately and serves it up. Wonderful in itself as many follow here words slavishly and they too might now adhere more to the side of decency as opposed the flawed rhetoric of those numnuts in Robbo Whately and Co She could have easily written this much earlier but seems like shes waited for the tide to turn so she can surf it. Thats not good journalism thats opportunism

Depends where every one else is actually situated on the field. Sometimes your team mates havent been as like minded and gone fwd. Overall though I like the idea of pushing on...places the opposition under pressure. I do however think we're a few blokes shy up front just at present to make a play on ( at most times ) effective

he thought he was clever not labeling the vials remember But I hear you Mike....only the offender would actually know what evidence was possible !!

Essendon’s former sports scientist Stephen Dank has no regrets over supplements program at the clubStill carrying on like he/they did nothing wrong......or.....maybe more that "Dank said yesterday he was adamant ASADA “don’t have categoric evidence” to back up the 34 show-cause notices handed to Essendon players." So Mr Dank, is it you've done nothing wrong or you think they've got no evidence to catch you out? Cant wait to see their collective smiles wiped from their face as they're all brought to acount

Given the beast that GWS is.. i.e a creation macabre it doesnt surprise me they struggle to capture the hearts of some ( players ) Some will be there under sufferance and happily run

would anyone seriously not have Boyd ??

in all fairness Bin...it would have been good journalism to write this about a month ago seems really shes just riding the coat tails of the bleeding obvious !! But is better than some of the rubbish shes written for sure
