    No he wouldn't. We don't have any midfielder on our list with remotely the same skillset of Wells. He's exactly the type of mid we need, but $550k per year for an injury prone 31yo is the sticking point.

    Fair point mate.

    Disagree, very bad Karma to make comments like this. Be careful what you wish for. Coming from decades of despair, I feel sorry for the true Tiger supporters. I don't know why people should get such pleasure out of the miseries of others. They are a true blue footy club with a rich history and culture and real supporters unlike many of the franchised or new clubs that have been created out of the ether. Go Tiges. 

    Sorry mate, didn't get any sympathy from the ones I know during the past 10 years or so. I think we need to get some rivalry going not be friends with our rivals.

    Who are the Dees chasing for 2017 and at what cost?

    I'll play along.

    The main trade that we're going to be involved in that we know of is Hibberd. I'm hoping that by combining Garland with Pick 26 to Gold Coast will see them send their Pick 22 to Essendon for Hibberd to make his way to the Dees.

    Nathan (Collingwood) or Mitch (Wes Coast) Brown should then be looked at as free agents. Personally i think Mitch is a bit quicker off the mark and more versatile with an ability to go forward. So he'd be my pick.

    Send our 2017 2nd Round pick to Geelong for Nathan Vardy and Geelong's 2016 3rd Round Pick (currently 53).

    I'd be keen to trade with West Coast also to land the untapped talent of Tom Lamb who's father played 2 games for the Dees back in 93' i believe. He's a real utility, 190/191cm tall, lightning quick who can play forward, back and mid. Only played 1 game in two years after going about pick 34 in the draft. We may be able to secure him with our 4th round pick (62) with any luck.

    And finally Nick Dal Santo as a delisted free agent. Add some experience and class to the midfield. He's still playing very solid football, and given our lack of a 1st round pick this year, this is how we can add class without giving up a 2nd years 1st round pick.

    Grimes walks as a free agent then delist Dawes, Pedersen, Terlich, M. Jones, Newton, Michie & Max King and from the sounds of things Lumumba may be retiring.

    Promote Wagner and we go to the draft with Picks 44 & 53 and three rookie draft selections  (give White a 3rd year).

    Suddenly we have a 22 looking lime:

    Frost/O. Mc, Brown, Jetta

    Melksham, T. Mc, Hibberd

    Vince, N. Jones, Tyson

    Petracca, Hogan, Kent

    Watts, Vardy, Garlett

    Gawn, Oliver, Viney

    Brayshaw, Dal Santo, Hunt, Salem

    Harmes, Vandenberg, Kennedy, Trengove, Bugg, Neal-Bullen, Stretch, Weideman, Hulett, Wagner and one of Frost/O. Mc become depth. We improve the list at minimal cost. We sacrifice one draft where we're already out of the 1st Round but still keep 2 picks inside the 3rd round.

    This also means that we would go into the 2017 draft with a 1st Round pick and only down a 2nd Rounder. That should be easy for us to get back also as after another 12 months we should be able to make a call on a player such as Salem or Kent if there's still question marks there.

    I like it, great work there mate. Lamb has family here in Tassie as that's where his dad played & coached for a few years after his time for Melb, They are great people & if he's anything like them he would be a fine addition to our club.

    Thompson had recurring soft tissue injuries that seemed to miraculously disappear when he moved home.  Maybe some of the soft tissue was cerebrum?

    Just a question as I do not and have not watched Essendon games for several years.  Would Melksham, and or Hibberd were he to come across, be reliable kick ins from full back?

    I would like to see Salem on a wing or HFF with runs through the middle. He is a smart footballer with good disposal and a calm demeanor - one would seriously hope that his thyroid is now under expert specialist care and should be controllable. 

    A quick txt to an Essendon mate & i'm assured that kick in's are no problem for Hibberd, Can see Salem supplying  our forwards with silver service for many years to come *depending on health.

    Although it looks like our boys clocked off for the year after the Port game I think our season has gone as most would of expected it to, Step improvement from most of the list, some great wins, some poor losses & a tired finish, The addition of Hibberd & another pre season into the rest of the boys I can finally reach for the sunglasses because the light at the end of the tunnel will be blinding.
