have read a few 'rumour' reports, and the fact that sheedy apparently has had a yarn to him.

i think he would be good at essendon ... and i see no problem having him along side in team which also had hille and laycock/ryder in it.
thoughts? would you draft him?
leunberger
Re: leunberger
Well nothing surprising there really. With the number 2 draft pick at his disposal it is Sheedy's job to speak anyone likely to go in the top 15-20 as a priority and then to anyone else that they've got their eyes on for later on in the draft as well.tom9779 wrote:have read a few 'rumour' reports, and the fact that sheedy apparently has had a yarn to him.
Pretty much all the coaches will be talking to the like of Leunberger, Gibbs, Sellar, Hansen etc.
No-one thought Ryder would still be around at number 7 for us next year, but he was.
Personally myself I don't think a ruckman is that higher priority for us. I think we need a class midfielder or KP backman is what we are most in need of. Therefore depending on who Carlton take we will be grabbing Bryce Gibbs or Lachlan Hansen in my opinion.
My gut feel is that he might be snapped up by Carlton at no 1.
Carlton have no ruckmen apart from McLaren and Deluca who have been in an out of the side because of form.
Given that I think Carlton will be torn between Leunberger and Gibbs. They do have some good midfielders in Stevens, Murphy, Simpson, Scotland and McGrath has also been pretty good for them too. So a good ruckman to feed them might be on the menu.
Both have been playing senior footy in their respective states.

i think we need to pick up midfielders because our backline isn't as bad as everyone seems to think
if our midfield is getting smashed yes so does our defence because there is so much ball coming in to oposition forwards they dn't stan a chance every contest they win send it forward it just comes straight back if our midfield is firing our defence will stand up with them

Good you know the blues are in trouble when they players on that list are considered their 'pretty good' midfielders....and really Corey McGrath has been pretty good for them????!!!!
Prehaps in about 5 games over his 4 seasons there. I was annoyed when we let him go, but looking back on it now we sure as hell got the best out of that deal...and I thought Justin Murphy was a waste of space at the club for the majority of his time here.
