Oh Rob, on second thoughts on reading the Age article and the Sun, I think you might be right, mate. The Age seem to think that we may not love Lucy any more and he's the likely one to get delisted. We'll have to wait and see. We can't delist Lucy, he was drafted last year, all players must remain ...

Re Katich - looks like you'll get your wish boys as it seems highly likely that Watson is going to take his place as Gilly's opening partner for the first game of the Champions Trophy =D> That's just another example of how stupid this selection panel is. Spot on. Watson consistently talks himself u...

God what is it about Essendon fans. You all expect us to land some massive name in trade period, but the moment anyone mentions a somewhat servicable Essendon player there is a massive outcry about how we can't get rid of them. Eg Jason Johnson, if we were able to con a high first round draft pick f...

Josh Thurgood, isn't his claim to fame is that Lloydy caved his face in with his armguard when he was coming back from his broken arm in 2005?

Michael Robinson

For a self reported Essendon fan and AFL journalist does this guy know anything about either. Was reading an article of his in the Sports section of the scum this morning about players at Essendon facing the axe. Now the names he mentioned were the obvious Rioli retired, Solly traded, Rama and then ...

if we did pick him up there wouldnt be a spot on the team for him unless there were a major amount of injuries to our backmen, PLUS we have an abundance of running backmen its not funny ie Mcphee, NLM, Mcveigh, Welsh, Nash, MJ (when need be), Cole and Bradley Like I said, picking him up would free ...

could do alot worse. Picking him up would also free up MJ and McVeigh to play in the middle more. don't necessarily have to use a PSD pick on him either. Telling him to nominate for the National Draft and we can use a late round pick on him. A 5th round pick for Makepeace would be a bargain. And wit...

Was the trade that was going to always happen. Before the Hawks got a case of wanting to prove their dicks were bigger than Sydney's a try and force themselves to screw themselves to get Everitt!!

I'm under the belief that there is rule stating that a club must use a pick it has traded for.

As picks 42 and 47 were a result of the Solly trade, we have to use them.

Meaning 6 picks!!

Here's a conspiracy theory for you. Sheedy has traded Solomon, without getting a replacement backman who can play key position if he has, in order to save his love child Henneman being axed. He was gone for all money, but with the way this trade week has panned out, I would not be at all surprised t...

Why is everyone finding it so freaking hard to work out why the JJ situation has 'dragged' out for so long??!! It's really pretty damn simple!! It's the best draft in years, it's in the club's long term interest to get as many high draft picks as possible. Every club has only 2, maybe 3 players that...

I know he's had injuries but he is a goal kicker and would be a good forward option. Could also allow Lucas some time at CHB should we need it.
How would getting a snall crumbing forward pocket/forward flanker allow us to play Lucas at CHB??!!

Voss has the opportunity if he wants it. If not the last spot will probably go to Fevola or Kepler Bradley according to Sheeds.
