Re: Welcome to the club Liam Henry

Ok so we have 13 and 22 and 35?

Coffield and 56 to WB for 40 and 53

Then go to Geelong who only have 8 and offer 13 and 35 (1734 pts) for 8(1551 pts)

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....

Re: Keep Coffield

Why do supporters feel the need to be happy when the club cuts a player who isn't rated but some then feel the need to criticize a player when he says he wants to leave - significant double standards.

Re: Dylan Shiel

Pick 8 has to come into play for this to appear legit. Essendon offer Gresh 3 x $850 with triggers and we get 13. Essendon dump Shiel, $1.6m deal and 8 for 13. Deal done. Essendon free up $1.6 to secure Gresh with a 1st round compo and receive change because he is worth $1.8 for 3 and they will onl...

Re: 2023 trade period

As good a player as Oliver is he is another inside mid. A starting midfield of Steele , Crouch and Oliver sounds good but all would likely lose a race with Ro to the edge of the square, all tough in and under not explosive which i think we need. Based on what you would have to give up not worth it. ...

People saying no to this deal do not seem to understand it... If approved by the AFL and agreed by Essendon, then the deal is St. kilda: Out: Gresham, Pick 50 In: Pick 13, Shiel Essendon: Out: Shiel and his high salary In: Gresham + pick 50 The pick 13 is created by free agency.

Re: Gresham

There is no way we would be handing over the 1st round compo pick for Shiel. By taking his salary I would think a 2nd round pick at best. Deal makes sense; Saints Get - 1st round pick, Shiel Lose - Gresham, 2nd round pick and Shiels salary. Essendon Get - Gresham. 2nd round pick, salary dump Lose -...

Threatening to become the 2020' version of Tom Lynch (Adel). First round pick, showed a bit , difference here is early he had opportunity and 2020 was a great year. Injuries hurt from there, but seems the club happy to let him walk to WB. Webster is 30 so who fills that role in the next year or so ....

One advantage of 7th

Just realised over the weekend one advantage of a 1st round loss rather than second round loss in finals is it puts us in middle 6 bracket for the draw in 2024.

Sydney, WB, Adel, ess, Geel ,

as opposed to Coll, Bris, Melb, port, GWS, Carl

Obviously always want to win but is a small upside.
