It seems that way, although i think we have done pretty well out of the Giants so far anyway, the took scully, gave us a few compo picks that got us Hogan and co, and then we snagged Frost and Tyson who both look really good. is asking for one more a bit greedy?

He looked good, but as Roos said they were going to go with strong bodies, Billy will get his chance this year I think

Disagree dazzle, watched Billy train up close and while he has talent I don't think he is quite ready for senior footy, Matt Jones will fill the void while the next wave develops naturally. Billy would have only ever been sub if he had played

Will announce Devon Smith has also signed on tomorrow.

His manager said today talks weren't on hold... I reckon the age is incorrect here. Apparently had a chat with Josh and were going away for a week or so to think before speaking again.

Some of the comments here you would think we list by 186 again. Thought we were pretty good

Dawes has been moving seriously well at training and again tonight, i think he is in for a good year.

I think kicking out of the backline is more important than ever in modern footy, if Grimes is constantly missing easy targets it's a real concern, especially when our bloke is out and a simple kick is missed.

I think howe will add a lot when he comes back, alot of freo's long bombs in are exactly the reason Howe was put back, big intercept marks and big pack marks

Good effort first up, imo we already look much better than last year, great to see the boys taking the game on and a couple of good targets up forward helps. really impressed by Frost

Much more attractive footy to watch, Vanders looks very good, as did Newton, Salem classy off half back, Hogan.. wow

so can't do it on the laptop?

bought an AFL.com subscription, how do i watch the game with that?

I'd be far more happy to see dawes kick 5 tbh

Hypothetical question, is the Essendon picking the four players from their 2012 list who weren't involved in the supplements saga an indirect breach of confidentiality? it certainly seems that all of a sudden protecting the identity of those players isn't such a priority, why threaten to boycott games, and then do this.

Calling it early, Kent, Garlett and JKH to be very dangerous in this game, if they all play well i'm not sure freo have the small defenders to cover them, they will be more worried about Hogan, Dawes and Gawn

he is 196 cm, and has kicked bags of 3-4 playing as a key forward, i'd say he very much qualifies, I rate Fitzy, but it is a big year for him. I think Pederson, Gawn, Hogan, Watts is plenty of tall targets for round 1, even without Dawes

Knee injury, they are going to nurse him through to round 1 i think but he went down with his knee the same day Christian did and it sent a bit of panic through Essendon supporters.

I agree, but i don't think Frost will be playing forward unless there are injuries. Dawes, Hogan, Pederson, Gawn, Watts, Fitzpatrick all ahead of him as far as tall forwards

Wow, if this is the case the club needs to be hit extremely hard, absolutely disgusting if true.

I'm really interested to see tonights game, will be great to see how much of the more attacking style we have been working on comes out in game. and to get a good look at Jesse Hogan against a really good defender will be great to see as well.

I reckon he will stay, although GWS are a bit of a wildcard if they offer him an insane amount of money, in which case, straight swap for devon smith and all is well in the world

Just my opinion Players who have signed waivers and then accepted injections that weren't lied to about what they were being injected with should be banned for life from the AFL playing elite level sport is a privilege, any attempted cheats should be removed from the game with no sympathy imo, Hird, Dank and co should also cop the same treatment, if however the players didn't know, they must have had suspicions, clearly Doc Reid knew, surely someone could have made a phone call to confirm the status of these substances.

Col Garland to play forward?
