Cheap Seats

Well I'll be buggered..... Still young will continue to make mistakes but doing well for a young kpp

General rules for posting trades on Footy Forums 1. Find uncontracted player 2. Is there a perceived need for player 3. Are they related to a current player 4. Post I have no idea if the Dees are interested in Towballs brother but it fits the criteria

Doesn't Sam Mitchell play off the back of the square for both the hawks and now wce? Isn't Mitchell regarded as one of the best stoppage clearance players in the league? Seems like it might be you who is the negative one.

Agree Stats are very mislesding. Getting 30 as an inside mid at a lower level with lots of stoppages doesn't necessarily teanslate well to etihad where there are less stoppages or the fast break game styles employed in the afl today

Wagner played on the weekend for Casey I believe but probably underdone, but I rate him (obviously). Fits in to our structure well

I almost spat out my chardonnay....

I know this is stating the obvious but, Regardless of the Pro EFC chest beating and investigation into ASADa it doesn't change the facts Easendon don't have records what they injected players with nor the fact ASADAs investigation was found legal in the high or supreme court (sorry for my ignorance) nor the fact they were found guilty in the swiss high court. Just sour grapes and im enjoying it. Personally im still waiting for james horss truth to come out that will prove essendon innocent......

100% Agree Not a flashy player but so clean and hard at the ball. If he can add some breakaway flare to his game he will become top 5 AFL material I just love watching him, he is so strong and clean in the contest, I haven't seen a Dees player like that in a long long time. I know Viney is hard but he's not as clean and as good with the ball as Clarry. Looking forward to watching him develop more again this year.... its going to be Huge

Interesting. Thanks DL5 I dont claim to be in thr know but i can't see the lions giving up pick 30 for Dunn who isn't even playing afl. Will be interesting to see how it plays out

The lions dont want Dunn. They will get Frost for basically free. They're not a retirement home.they just want a big body to suppoet their developing talls And even if the lions do want Dunn, they wont gove pick 30 for a bloke who hasn't played afl all year

Non Dees related but a non the less embarrassing record. Are the Tigers on track to beat our 186 at the cattery?

I like you're line of thinking 55. Is there a chance though that some of those players would find other positions. VandenBerg comes to mind as one who is a mid but is forced to play hff. I wonder if others like harmes and salem as an example would be forced to.move positions. I think Roos and Goody are massive on players who can play multiple positions. But in saying that it might be a reality that we have to trade some.of our young brigade (which i dont like.at first glance) to bring in experience to be able to tke the next step

Not suggesting u approve this trade AAC but any suggestion Salem is tradeable would be nothing less then a top 10 pick... especially if we want to recoup our investment in him. Salem is 21 and a top 10 pick I hope Essendon play hardball like Carlisle in 2015 and mess this up and he walks. Dont cave on this Dees. There are surely enough issues at play here to not be bullied in to trading with Essenscum. He's been out of the game for 12 months, age, demanded to leave, Injection regime, the fact that Xavier Campbell said he (essenscum) wouldn't stand in any players way who wanted to leave, have to be all.mitigating factors in any trade Mitch Clark as an example was a straight swap. Love the hypocrisy in essendon saying they want like for like, they have no choice/say if a player chooses to leave. Tell Essendon they're dreaming and move on

Agree The MFC wont disappear if he leaves but if we want to be a serious team who plays dewp in to September. Hes our no 1 priority

Don't ruin my entertainment with your lodgic

Haha gravity. It's perfect

Mids Mids Mids for me We have Hogan, Dawes, Pederson, TMac, OMac, Gawn, Spencer, Frost who can all pinch hit as big forwards Lets win the ball and move the ball consistently before we worry too much about the lack of quality talls I haven't even discussed our poor history of drafting talls or Roos's preference to go with young ready made players early in the draft. I like the sound of Hopper??? I think that's his name but in saying that I know nothing about the young lads

Yep i am disappointed with this as well. Nothing to loose your pants over but cleary we caved

Made me giggle... thought id post the appreciation No a graders as we'd hope for (hopefully yet) but handy additions in their own right... Well time will tell... Surely an upgrade on a few we have now though

Thanks Generation D Love a drunken update or 2 Make sure you get the Demon boys ears and find out what you can find....

In a supposedly weak draft a 3rd rounder wouldn't be giving up too much. In saying that who knows what value we'd get out of it with wada hanging over him and ability. I'll trust the clubs judgement on this one... but its very very risky imo

Sounds like he'll fit in well then

Love the jet How did his grab on the weekend not get in marks of the week? (Well not on the footy shows I saw)

No agree. I was more referring to his overall games, but points noted as I saw the same thing by the sound of it. At crucial times when the pies were coming I thought he kept making costly mistakes. As I said I hope he plays the remaining games and gets it right but my opinion is no he won't.

Due to our lack of depth and experience I hope we keep them all. Even though I do think they all have limitations as players. if we can keep building with these 3 as role players I think we will be on the right track. But it's really up to Howe and Col about what they want
