What headline says that? (maybe I missed something?) Also, I would think that most clubs who have a player who made AA selection, would consider that player to be a star; so it makes sense that as he made AA as a Dee, we would consider him such. And let’s not forget he came to the club having been a star player at the Bummers. Putting injury interrupted seasons aside, Hibbo has really only had one down season, and that was this year; there’s no way I’d be writing him off just yet.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see anywhere that he suggested doing that?

I think CJK is saying that GWS can cough up their pick 6 if they want to get Green.

Hey, I’m responding to the fact that you said, and I quote: “Deludio plays Tomlinson doesn't.”, which is patently incorrect.

Yet Deledio played 7 games this year and Tomlinson played in every game.

Are you seriously saying that injuries kept him in their fielded team (aka best 22), for 3 years on the trot?

Goodwin’s 2018 Dees won their first two finals. Fagan’s 2019 Lions lost their only two finals. Who knows what Fagan’s 2020 will be like? I’d say that at this point in time they’re probably level pegging.

We need a pinned thread on coping with grief ?

Injury prone, yes... overrated?? Definitely not!!

Just like Ebola, MFCSS has started to flare up again. Is it a bridge too far to think that perhaps these players may have expressed a preference (behind closed doors) to get to the Dees if theirown clubs won’t come to the party?

So far you have us landing several players while retaining our pick 3 for use in the draft. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but in the meantime, and unless you can prove your credentials as an 8 post newcomer, then I’m calling BS of the highest order.

I’d say he was a very young child when his father left, judging by this from the article in The Age: “Toby's mother, Kate, released a statement to the Seven Network, saying: "Toby is estranged from his father. His father has battled mental health issues and has had nothing to do with this family for over 20 years".”

Haven’t heard anything, but Brad Green would be my preferred goal kicking coach. He was as close to the perfect kick for goal that this club has had.

I thought he looked like a drinks waiter

Yep, Houli and Edwards led the second half resurgence; some moments of true brilliance.

Are selectors ‘curating’ the team?

Really impressed with Houli after seeing him interviewed by Daisy.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding there rjay... my reply was not directed at you, but rather, it was an extrapolation of what you said.

But we’re equally as screwed if we base our recruiting purely on their last outing as some here would do... I don’t think that one game out of 80 is sampling at its best ?

Upon what do you base your belief? Sauce or ketchup?

My mistake, but the comment stands regarding the PDTs list. And for someone who was complaining about the fact I attacked the poster, you’re doing quite well on that front with the second line of your post, no?

How many on your list were actually given a run at AFL level? How many were injured? How many were first year or rookies? It was a laughable post.

Laughable post. Your forum name clearly is appropriate.

In which case, he should immediately have his Captaincy reinstated!

Well, if Essendon do "resign" him, we should definitely make an offer.
