BAMF

How? Essendon are allowed to bid on academy players with pick 1. How is it draft tampering? The other clubs dont have to match the bid.

Fixed.

You could play Watts, Hogan, Weid and a Ruck/Fwd if needed. The Ruck/Fwd would rotate between Ruck, Forward and Bench. Watts can play fwd, bench and also drops to the backline in the last 5-10 min of each quarter. Weid is fairly 1 dimensional and would need to stay in the fwd line. Jesse will then have more freedom to roam the ground and get involved.

Yes he could.

2. 2014, 2015. He will be OK.

Picken. Amazing.

My god this umpiring! Sydney are being robbed.

Great grand final sprint

If we included an 'Umpire award's at the best and fairest would anyone give a [censored] who won it?

I thought Hell's Bell's was our thing. I hadnt noticed anyone else playing it, but if so then thats really annoying.

I dont think they are worried about that trade outcome.

What would their expectations be regarding Delidio? Would a mid 1st round pick get it done? He spent most of the year injured.

Pick 12 got traded to Geelong for Moloney. We got pick 15 for Jolly and used it on Dunn. Lost both of them.

Was he invited to the combine?

Yep. Boring. But I when leaks happen we quickly absorb and want more. Hibberd looks like joining us, but because we have known this for months we no longer find it interesting and demand more. In reality, we have no first round pick and will likely have to trade our second for Hibberd. We have bugger all currency left and will likely be small players this year.

Goodwin himself said that we needed more ruck depth. I am almost certain an assistant coach mentioned we would be looking to add ruck depth earlier in the year as well.

Okay. So if no club pick him up then he is ours for free. The thing is... There is likely to be around 70 picks in the main draft and 70 in the rookie. So how good is he?

Thought he had been pretty good compared to others.

I hope we bring someone else in. And I am assuming we will. If we dont/cant. Pedo stays for 1 more year.

Neither. If I had to choose it would be Pedo because he can ruck.

Not to mention where Tyson was pulled up for deliberate out of bounds. To me it looks like Darling is the one who initiated the contact with the ball. By that point all he had to do was wave his arms as the umpires were calling everything for them. Darling consistantly plays for frees. Why wouldnt he? The crowd roars and the umpires do whatever they want. I just watched all the free kicks in the last quarter and half of them are questionalble. Makes little difference. We should have won that game by 5 goals. Umpire bias or not.

I had a quick look at some early phantom drafts. Only found 1 that ranked him at pick 50. He a good game a few weeks ago apparently. Played half back flank then pushed forward in the 2nd half and kicked 4 straight. Looks pretty vanilla from this highlight video.

ANB! Yes!

If it's not the coach's fault then who's is it? All our experianced players who should be getting a game are not up to it. Therefore we have to play the kids. Why are the experianced players not up to it?
