7/10 and one of our best for the year.

Would like to see him in the middle more often also and if he has the engine after this years preseason im sure we will.

Well it's official...... Austin Lucy has been delisted :? I reckon this is pretty harsh going by some reports that said he was coming along well in the reserves.... He's 19 and only had one year on our list???.... very harsh.... A little surprising but i get the feeling that he has only been let go...

I'm getting a bit worried now,Sheeds said that the Essendon Football Club will go strongly after the best player in the PSD! So far,not much to pick from!!!.......... :evil: WTF does that mean? Isn't it a matter of waiting for your turn in the queue? How do you "strongly go after" the bes...

Lee can potentially fill the hoe at CHB, the clubs biggest deficiency. Bolton cant. Even when Lee got a senior game he hardly got any game time at CHB. Thats no way to find out whether hes up to it or not. Lee has shown very little at CHB for Bendigo. Esendon were pretty good at promoting young pla...

This bullshit about not being in a window of opportunity is rubbish. If we arnt going to challenge for a flag, why is Hird playing on? Why dont we trade Lucus and Lloyd for some first rd picks? Why do we keep anyone over the age of 25? BECAUSE WE WILL CHALLENGE FOR THE FLAG EVERY YEAR!! The baby bom...

Well 6 gone as below has freed up our 6 draft picks Rioli - Retired Rama - to be rookied or delisted Solomon - Traded Cartledge - Delisted Reynolds - Delisted Henno - Delisted We will free up at least 1 PSD, even if we only use it to redraft whoever is delisted. The following have been mentioned rec...

Well Bolton got signed so my understanding is it will hve to be one of Heff, Lee or Nash as im sure all others are either untouchable, signed a contract within the last couple of months or have not been listed for more than 2 years.

Out of those, I guess I'm hoping Heff.

One more to go yet if we plan on using our PSD pick.

If I was Bolton I wouldnt be getting settled in yet.

I was actually thinking he could play the role as 3rd tall behind fletcher and lucus in the backline, leaving McPhee and NLM to play on shorter running players who they can dominate in the air. I'm sure Thurgood could play a similar role to Jacobs, as he is tall and mobile, can take a grab and has p...

with a full strength team we have a decent amount of good defenders : fletch, NLM, McPhee, McVeigh, Slatts. Then there is Lee and Bradley (who can only improve with age) I dont think we are in too dire straights back there... well you could say with the worst defense in the league we hit rock botto...

The only thing I will say, is that HOW, can we offer Winders a straight out 2yr deal (nothing against him personally), but only offer JJ a 1 yr deal???? Not in the same league, yet, and is just not right. JJ's best is almost at an end and the ability for his aging body to get through yet another se...

Just read that Josh Thurgood has been delisted by the hawks. he is only 22 and has had some injury concerns, but the kid can take a grab down back and for mine, is the most promising player confirmed available in the PSD to date. Luke Brennan, Pick 8 in 2002 draft has also been dropped. He has great...

Solomons best is past him. His best now is about as good as bradleys best to date. Bradleys best is most definately in the future therefore he will provide far more value than Solomon. Bradley also has no intention of leaving, Solomon has been looking to move on for 3 years and in hindsight we shoul...

From the few snippets I saw of Andrew Lee I would be very very disappointed if we were to lose him. I reckon he's got the potential to be a gun. We certainly dont want another Ted Richards type situation on our hands. Ie. Good young player who is starved of opportunities finally gets p'eed off and ...

The Hawks have agreed to 1 mil over 3 years for Thornton. I dont rate him at all at that rate so I would hope we let him slip through.

I dont think our options are that bad with Lucus back at CHB. Surely McPhee will have a better season and Bradley and Lee can only get better.

Notting would be OK, but as you just worked out yourself, send Lucus back to HB where he was AA and B&F and our backline looks OK. We should also expect some improvement from Bradley who I certainly havent given up on yet. So whilst Notting would add some depth and give us another option, it wou...

what a shithouse trade!! Our guys are bloody hopeless!! Watch Solly kick ass next season when played in position. They know they just got a steal there.

We have just come off our worse season on 73 years and with the prospect of a fabulous draft coming up we cant negotiate a single extra pick? Surely a third round pick for Bolts is better than Bolts I am afraid to say the Essendon is not the club it once was. Its gone soft Absolutely spot on. We ha...

Not as confident as you are but I agree, I think he will get back to his best and his best is pretty good so we should expect adequate compensation.
