Re: The recent shift in age demographic

Really like what we have done this off season and the overall change in the demographic and clearing out of some stale players, however to me the greatest rubbish to come from fans mouths is the comment "Play the kids" . Its the catch cry of all who support the teams at the bottom like the...

Re: Arie Schoenmaker

That makes 37 senior players plus 2 rookie B and 4 rookie A for a total of 43 players. The club is now limited to 1 more rookie A I suspect they decided to grab Schoenmaker in the main draft than let him go into the rookie draft where St Kilda would miss him. That probably means they will not take ...

Re: Lance Collard

Love the positivity here, some already having jumping on a plane and heading home before he leaves the state based on the fact he is from WA, and a bit shy on TV. This kid was rated on draft boards a lot higher than this so a great pick and if the club have the right structures and cultures within t...

Re: Strength & Loyalty Program thoughts?

Are they looking to build up their cash reserves to fund huge payouts to Rod Owen and others with shared experience ? The bulldogs are facing a $6 million payout for historic abuse to players. We've all heard of what happened to Rod and others . The fact that Finnis apologised a couple of years ago...

Strength & Loyalty Program thoughts?

I see the club is reaching out again with the launch of this program to boost funds to put directly into the football program. My initial reaction I must say as a long term member of over 40 years was "Again?". Granted details haven't yet been provided to what the levels of donation will p...

Re: Billings wants out

What if we keep him? Gresham gone and therefore one injury away from him playing much more. Even then he could attract more value in 12 months you would think. Love RL tactically however i think sometimes he gets set on what players can't do as opposed to what they can do and how that can work for t...

According to article during the week pretty good. Don't have many contracts with uplift in them so when cap goes up much will be free money not yet committed.

No way we would get that on an open market if he was to be traded.
Collingwood reportedly offering #19 for Shultz, IMO Gresham is a better player.
Shultz would be on a lot less coin.
Schultz under contract so have to pay more

Re: Gresham

My guess for delay, Essendon know we are waiting on compo to get other deals done such as Henry, Coffield and therefore hoping to make us act early and potentially get stuck. Feel it has backfired as if you believe what is said Gresham is willing to stay if low ball offer by Ess to try and stuff us....
