RIP mf.

Ha! Again I'm somewhere in between the two of you. In advance of the 2013 GF I certainly didn't want Freo to win - some lingering feeling of disloyalty regarding Ross leaving I suppose. Though I certainly understand why he left and in retrospect realise that it was good for both sides. "I wonde...

I get all that, well kind of. This is a bit Ch 10 news did on my family before the 2010 GF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKTm7D5VE4 I have shed tears of joy and despair after footy games, and I consider myself not to cry easily. I have had sleepness nights because I was so excited about the gam...

Longer should get around #25-30 and Eli *might* be able to be traded with #46 for around #30?

Hartung could fetch up to $450k per season on a 4 year deal at Tigerland.

Been told that Lachie already spends a bit of time in Melboune and is very close mates with our HG. In the article that followed Mav through a week it said that HG and LW are the best of mates Never saw that but heard it from someone who would know first hand. https://twitter.com/hughgoddard23?ref_...

Some of the bigfooty types rate Brett Voss' boy, Jackson.

15. GL all

It was either bad drafting or poor development?? Either way a pick 12 was traded for pick 37 after three years in the system Followed by pick 24 for Pick 43 the next year (after three yrs on the list) We were lucky enough to pick up Newnes with pick 37 But that was never a guarantee We did not trad...

In reality it was both poor drafting by us and a case of Tom being a later developer. Tom was taken by us at pick 13. Here's a few names of players taken in the next two rounds of picks. Shoenmakers, Schuey, Ballantyne, Trengove, Zaharakis, Suban, Redden, Beams, Hannebery, Shiels, Clarke, Broadbent,...

Have just been cheering myself up with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb-PKNfqgRU Jake Carlisle 8 goals vs Western Bulldogs Round 18 2014 Comedy moment at 3.35 when Jake takes the mark in the lead up to him kicking his 8th... the advertising hoardings behind the Essendon goals are for... ......

Jaxons, what should the club do with pick 14? Surely we package 14 with 44 and 68 and send to GWS for #8... Could end up as Carlisle and Freeman for 2 x 2nd rounders, a 4th rounder and a 1st round pick downgrade (#5 --> #8). Still would leave us #45 for Rice. That would be some draft and trade peri...

Would pick 25 + Pierce get it done? For the record I rate Pierce. Hed get games at Essendon. I don't think so. #25 and Longer certainly would. #25 and Hickey might. However, I can't realistically see any young player agreeing to go to that mob, so we'd need to use picks alone. I would have thought ...

Carlisle is 23. He'd complete our spine for the next 7+ years...

Carlisle - Goddard - Longer - McCartin - Bruce

If we could somehow get him and keep this years and next years 1st round picks then IMO that would be terrific.

More of a question than a comment. But we are ranked number 1 in the comp for 'pressure' and Id guess we are also right up there for Inside 50s as well. But we are 6th bottom overall. I dont think you can knock our effort this year - but we lack finishing. What do people think we need to make the n...

I went. Took my 3yo. We enjoyed ourselves though the standard of footy (in the first half at least) was pretty poor. Left at half time as he's brewing a cough. One strange thing - on a cold, wet day the car park at the G was closed. Que?

What's with this obsession of wanting to draft defenders. We need midfielders. The game is won and lost by the quality of the midfield. All I read was an obsession with drafting the best available kid. If the best available kid is Jacob Weitering - who as a 17 year old for the u18's Academy blitzed...

I can see 7 more wins in that lot (Dogs, Bombers, GWS, Melb, North, Freo, Cats) - which would unfortunately still leave us a game short of finals.

Watching the game I had the feeling that he was in everything. His work inside 50 was phenomenal. Every possession he is credited with is worth 2-3x as many. The follow-up efforts inside 50 were amazing. So nimble, and the hand-eye co-ordination exceptional. He also turned up on the ball and was at ...

Seems ok for mine. Only extra I would have done would have been Lee for Shenton. Lee might not cope with one of their Talls but IMO would have been worth a shot. Anyhow, presumably Savage has served his penalty for whatever off-field misdemeanour he committed, so glad he is back. I'm also chomping t...

A change of heart from the AFL has allowed St Kilda to reverse their decision to demote emerging youngster Jack Sinclair back to the rookie list....

Problem is that Longer is a really good tap ruckman who is currently a near liability around the ground, whilst Hickey is an ordinary tap ruckman who is good around the ground. In two years we'll know which of the two manages to improve on his deficiencies enough to be the undoubted number 1. In the...

Really, we've publicly stated that we're in for young players for the last two (maybe more) off-seasons. Sometimes it's for real (Membrey) sometimes we miss out but drive up the price for competitors (Jaksch). Overall we have to trust our experts that we will not overpay and get good value. After so...

There were a couple of images at the end of the game that I thought were telling. Firstly Richo looking on the boys celebrating, looking as proud as punch. Secondly Rooey and Joey hugging each other as they were coming off at the end... their faces looked like they were exclaiming... "Wow, we s...
