Fair enough then, all jokes aside. No means no.

Nothing to fall out over. One of the reasons people become friends is because they like the same things.

They did seem to combine well.

The OP may well turn out to be correct, maybe the Flag is heading our way... driving past Gosch's paddock on the way to Punt Road.

I like Baker and think we should continue to invest in his development. However, from an overall list perspective I'd prefer that he was out understudy wing option. So, by all means look at bringing someone like Phillips in.

'Judd's Grandmother told me...'

Phew...for awhile there I thought COVID may have done you in. To Hell and Back a Little Further?

Maybe he needs one of those 'I did nothing wrong' T-shirts which are currently in vogue in state politics?

☝️This, my favourite player because of the tenacious way he has carved out his career.

I believe it's also traditional to point out that Charlie Spargo is not very tall.

Melksham's USB has 'the missing Essendon spreadsheet' and it was created by Goodwin?

I see him as talented, but for whatever reason drifts in and out of games. At 26, will he click and go to a new level? Or is this it? Tricky one for the football department and what would the Dogs offer us? Currently holding picks 13,38 and 49.

Am astonished that @Bitter but optimistic hasn't weighed in on this topic yet.

Re T.Mac out and Brown in. What's Brown like when the ball's below his knees? How are his knees?

Maybe, just maybe you could change the commentators vernacular. However, there are those amongst them who would still insist that the ball was 'chiselled' to him. ?

Agreed, unless they offer a half-decent player in return.

1-year contract and I'd be interested.

Thanks @spirit of norm smith, Beyond that, I'm interested in any insights into the quality and depth of the 2021 draft. Can add into the equation the RFA and pre-RFA's that may become part of the picture - is it worth building a bank of picks so that we're positioned to be major players?

With this year's draft being compromised by: 1. Academies 2. Father-Sons, and 3. Disruptions to competitions What does next year's crop look like? Is it enticing enough to warrant the likes of Preuss, ANB, Macs O&T, Bedford being traded for future picks?

On the optimistic side, you'd hope that next year's pick was somewhere between 30 and 36 ?. Going with the 'Sunshine & Lollypops' scenario, the next questions to ask are: What does next year's draft crop look like compared to this year's? Where will our current 2nd round pick slide to in this year's compromised draft?

Okay, but curious as to why, considering the compromised nature of this year's draft, you'd offer next year's pick instead of this year's?

Seeing what looks like grey hair...contract worries?

Arrogance of their supporter base Fuelled by the AFL's biased treatment towards them across the doping scandal Large supporter base. The irony of point 3 being that most Melbourne clubs have a large supporter base when things are going well. We dominated the % of crowd support during the finals played at the MCG in 2018.

Not seen him play. Did get some praise in some of the Magoos reviews this year . No idea if that counts for much.

If those rumours were true then it looks like the Bombers have royally stuffed it up.
