I am still wanting Vandenburg to stay. Really adds to our mix. Ready to deliver in 2019. But if he wants to go then Vandenburg and MFC 3rd Rd pick 54 for Swans 2nd Rd pick 33

I agree. Saints say Kent is a skilled strong fast midfielder who will greatly benefit through mid running. Yet they downgrade his value ??? FFS 4th round pick which will end up as pick 62/63 is still an insult.

215 pages Hope Hogan stays but if he chooses to go home Hogan and MFC 2nd round 2019 pick for Freo first round 2018 pick (#6) and Freo first round 2019 draft

Doesn’t have the interest or motivation to play AFL. Huge talent. Wasted. Move on

Perhaps Shiel has a part time job as promotional ambassador for one of Essendon’s sponsors. (Like Chris Judds visyboard deal !!!!)

Two NT neutral games is a luxury. We need the wins and playing at the MCG v Port v Freo v Suns v Giants etc is a better chance of winning than at NT. The $$ are now not as critical.

Hope Hogan stays but if he goes we need to get a good deal. Suns will want the Pick 5 for May and not a future 1st round. Reworked below. Otherwise it works. In May, KK, Ed Langdon, Freo 1st round 2019, Suns 2nd round compo pick 30 out Hogan, Tyson, MFC 1st round 2019, MFC 2nd round pick 40, 3rd Round pick 48 (Crows Lever compo)

Tyson for Suns pick 31. 2nd round. KK to Dees for pick 45. 3rd Round. So Suns: TYSON AND PICK 45 Demons : KOLODJASHNIJ AND PICK 31.

A punt. A risk. A potential player. Unfortunately we will wait to see if he fits.

Slow progress. I don’t really trust Craig C. Hope the KK deal gets done soon. Maybe waiting on what happens to Hogan and May.

Likely Dees will look at 1-2 delisted free agents to top up given likely turnover of 10-12 players. List to date of such players doesn’t quite excite. Or Maybe some late trade action might see MFC offering picks in 60-70s to grab someone as a 11th hour deal.

Preuss gives us options and backup. Solid real ruck backup. Fingers crossed that he will be onboard.

If it was the choice of eagles or demons then I would care. But it’s another Kangas miss !! perhaps S$$$cully and Kangas are the perfect match.

Lachlan McDonnell is on the radar hopefully. Skilled midfield/ half forward. Good pace shown in state combine. 2.94 seconds for the 20 metres is quick. As quick as anyone.

Agree. If we got 2-3 midfield injuries, we have limited coverage. It’s a long year.

When will the Dees get a free (FREE) agent. They are free in terms of you give no TRADE OR DRAFT PICKS. We got Lever but he cost us two 1st round picks Lynch, Gaff, Dahlhaus, Conca will cost their new clubs nothing (just the $$$$$)

Menzel only and only if he comes for cheap biscuits and performance contract. Pick 60ish as a trade. We can give him the 2-years he wants. Might be handy if we need some depth and goal kicking. Third forward option deep inside forward 30 Menzel would like our oversupply into fwd 50. Just need to ensure a Spargo or small forward provides to forward chase. Risk V reward

Oh no.

Colyer. Um Ah Nooo!! Butchers the footy. Godfrey reincarnation

Yes potentially up to a dozen new faces likely. Some good opportunities to access new talent. Still hoping Hogan stays but seems more and more unlikely.

Tom McKenzie (Northern Knights) Get him in. 25/30 in goal kicking at combine and finished first at a 2.9 seconds in sprint Has the football skills and speed. I still think demons in with a chance to grab him if we keep the late 2nd round pick around 36-38.

I think Casey upgrade mean support the progress by selecting a Casey VFL player in the national draft. It makes sense if there’s a quality youngster available Jay Lockhart, Corey Wagner, and Mitch Lewis all definitely worthy of a late draft pick. Unfortunately no Fritsch gold but some rough and ready types to provide depth and potential.

Yes. I’ll keep Jesse if he wants to stay. But if his life is better with family in the Wild West than we all move out.

Matty Lloyd - Rebels under 18s midfielder His parents must have been Bombers fans or had no idea about an Essendon full forward. I wonder if he does the grass thing before kicking for goal !!! Velvet sledgehammer 2

Mature 23yo midfielder. Ex SANFL star who moved to Kangas VFL team in 2018. Strong body. Good skills. Quite burst of pace at stoppages. Kangas AFL would have played him in 2018 if available. Co-captained& asst coached Kangas VFL He meets our need to midfield depth. We should get in before Kangas.
