Neil Erasmus is one to watch Chaser, another Sorrento Duncraig boy who had an outstanding Colts grand final for Subi. Won't play many games at Subi till late as he has PSA commitments at Hale

Welcome aboard Fraser

Welcome aboard Bailey

Welcome aboard Jake (JB)

I expext the Suns will be taking Will Phillips, Crows to take best available from Bruhn, Cook, Powell or Henry with Freo taking Chapman

Take note those who continue to bemoan our club sitting on their hands, based solely on the presumption that it hasn't been reported in the media.

Hope you're well OD and looking forward to the festive season with family

Not unexpected, as I said on the rumour only thread, fairly well known he'd applied for the Essendon position and who could blame him when the position was vacant and our FD was under review. As others have said 13 years is a long time and despite being maligned on here by posters (many of whom also question Taylor) I think he has performed well in his roll. Thanks for your service Josh

No sinking feelings are for those who still go on about 186, the PF loss in Perth and anything else that has gone wrong in the last 50 + years

I did the same with us taking them 2 First Round prediction based on club needs and available players 1. Essendon trade 6 & 7 to Crows take Logan McDonald 2. Dogs match bid take Ugle Hagan 3. Roos - Elijah Hollands 4. Swans - Grainger Barrass 5. Hawks -Will Phillips 6. Suns - Archie Perkins 7. Crows - Riley Tilthorpe 8. Power match Crows bid for Lachie Jones 9. Crows - Tanner Bruhn 10. Essendon- Zac Reid 11. Crows - Braden Cook 12. Sydney match GWS bid for Braden Campbell 13. GWS - Oliver Henry 14 North - Nick Cox 15. Freo - Heath Chapman 16. Pies match GWS bid for Reef Mcinness 17. GWS - Tom Powell 18. Pies - Jackson Callow 19. GWS - Finlay Mcrae 20. Tigers - Bailey Laurie 21. Dees - Tom Carroll 22. Dees - Conor Stone 23. GWS - Matt Allison 24. Saints - Nathan O'Driscoll Hoping DOWNIE lasts to our 3rd pick

No Pace is gone Never had freat endurance Desire is gone The Eagles don't get many calls wrong on when it's time

Agreed people would have watched anything during that time. Bad move IMO

With LJ resigning, Oliver not having moved to Carlton, Goodwin reaching the magical 9 wins to save himself and Matty Egan staying within the coaching structure we are due another rumour

Saad is worth what Carlton were willing to pay, that's not Essendon's fault. Let's not forget we managed to get pick 3 for Chip

Never doubted your intel ET. Shark Park is in dire meed of an upgrade

He's a smart kid McQueen reads the tea leaves and backs himself. I'm confident based on what I hear if we do the right thing he"ll extend again

Doesn't help when like so many on here who suffer MFCSS and the sky is always falling listen to BS rumors put on here by posters who claim to have sources telling them stuff. Yet when you actually check the timing of their posts with BF posts and media stories, that is obviously their source

Thanks for your service Omac in the red and blue, had a patch in 2017 where you really showed confidence and inroads but alas it wasn't to be. 80 odd games more than I ever played, good luck to you in your future endeavors. Some of you posters really need to have a look at yourself. Total lack of class by some and please don't use "this is a fan forum" as a pathetic excuse

I don't care who we dislodge once it's somebody and we finish strong not just making up numbers

Yep made comment on another thread (can't recall which one it was) but saw a very special IMO future talent in the Subiaco 14s Malachy Champion, who I think is one to look out for in 2023 draft

WA had close to a full junior season. 11 game season as opposed to the usual 15 + finals. 10 games H & A with top 2 playing the GF. There was 8 game WAFL Colts + finals. WAFL Development Squads had their trials for u/14 & 15s squads across the 9 WAFL clubs with final squads selected. Each WAFL development squad played 2 matches against other WAFL development squads in their relevant year group

Yes absolutely but can't see it materialising that way. Be a hard call at 18 and 19 pucking 2 because I think taking both Carroll and Macrae leaves you without real burst speed. They both look like good ball users can win their own footy and make good decisions. To me Perkins wouldn't be one I'd pass up as he has that x factor and I think can be a game changer, so if he's there at 18 and 19 you are taking him along with Macrae IMO, hoping Carroll somehow slips to 28 Wood could be one you consider as a developing wing option or you consider Laurie at 28 If we get 2 of the 3 at picks 18 and 19 weve done well

Trolls are getting worse every year

The ones I think could slide out. Pies I think need a reset with their list Lions - great run for a couple of years but think they may fall back with regular travel back next year West Coast - they will either go close to making a prelim or fall away completely. The cliff is close for Hurn, Kennedy and Shuey. Yeo has some groin issues and Nic Nat won't have the luxury of the shortened quarters. Saints - still not sold on them see them as a team floating from 5th to 12th depending on injury and form I think ourselves, Blues and Dockers will be the sides pushing to jump in

Roos need bookends to build around will IMO take McDonald if Crowd don't. If Crows take him they will take Holland and Grainger-Barras or another KPD at 11 if DGB doesn't last that late Bombers I think will take best available inside big sized mid, best available key tall and Will Phillips if they hold those picks
