What

Trade radio is back - praise allah!

thanks for the PM, AF Pretty incredible that Jesse has decided to quit footy and move to Tibet to live in a monastery but good luck to him for the future

chuck me a PM too AF, if you can be bothered. All in the spirit of silly season

Was he stil at the club when we got Hogan? I know he was there for the T Mac draft

Thats a good deal for us , we bag pick 40 or thereabouts for free. Doubt its true though

So one delisting of a depth player that cost us nothing, and two guys that aren't bad at all and played some good footy for us What about Vince, Tyson and Garlett? We have had a very good strike rate with recruiting in the Roos era so far

thank you

Anyone comparing him to our VFL level Z grades like Bail and M Jones are clueless... he is Bernie Vince like the way he can kick off both feet and get penetration on his opposite foot. He will be a great pick up for us (WADA permitting).

Can anyone name a young player at the Dons who has developed as a player during the ASADA saga? Its understandable that they havent kicked on in that environment There is hope for Jake yet. Think he will realize his potential at the Dees. Get behind him folks, its Mlikshake time.

really Einstein? What a genius you are,

Thanks for the laugh lol go get em Jakey

Just have to be positive. No young kid could have blossomed in the Essendon environment the last few seasons. It must have been the most toxic footy environment in the history of VFL/AFL. A new lease on life will be good for not just Melksham but any other player smart enough to leave.

I dont think a 12 year old could describe Essendon supporters as perfectly as I just did

Who give s [censored] what those Hird worshipping losers think

Is he a free agent? Hes a great player but its not wise giving up pick 6 for a bloke who will be 28 before next season ends Just speculating pick 6 is what the Swans would demand for him

You might be on to something considering what Damian Barrett just wrote about us in his Sliding Doors column.

Anyone know what i'vas track record is like with rumours? I wanna get excited, I really do.

I did the other day, I had Ablett Jnr coming to the Demons Still could happen btw

so boring at the moment with us being linked to anybody significant I know its early days but come onnnnn. Hopefully its a good sign we have something going on behind the scenes and arent leaking, instead of a precursor to a big let down this trade period

As will I. The hysteria has probably been a bit over the top. He was looking the goods as a 21 year old then, the drug scandal happened. Hard for any young player to develop in the toxic environment of Essendope. Perhaps a change of scenery will see him blossom.

Lets get excited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1k5DFakV9E

The day cant come soon enough when this potato re-signs with Essendope and this thread can be locked and disappear forever

I suspect this is exactly what will happen. How many other clubs would Howe get a game at? He aint worth more than 290k

Its like he owns the field, everyone are just pawns in his game. He read that play from a mile away.
