Solomon
Fremantle have offered him 2 years
We have offered him one.
Fremantle have desperately tried to find a trade for him.
What have they offered that we haven't been happy with?
I would be happy with a 3rd round draft pick or a player of Marcus Drum's quality.
Surely this deal will happen tomorrow, or else Solly will just walk to the PSD and we'll get nothing for me.

What garbage.Because he has done nothing for 2-3 seasons!!! A 3rd rounder is a steal!
2004 arguably our best player apart from McPhee. solly came 3rd in the B&F.
2005 - Played the season with a knee injury and was only pulled out for surgery in rd 17 when we were officially out of contention for top 8.
2006 - No excuse. Poor season. But the guy was playing out of position alot.
One thing is for sure...Solly is worth more than a 3rd rd draft pick.
If Essendon dont get adequate ruturn for Solly it will bite us in the ass. He is in for a BIG season next year. I dont care what anyone says.

Depending on how those drafts we acquired turn out and Solomon's form, that could describe either Connolly or Sheedy's performance in this trade. You just don't know.SuperSonic wrote:Absolute shit.
One thing is certain, though: if Solomon plays at Freo like he did for us in 2005/06, then even if Freo gave us a cheese sandwich we'd be better off.

The Bombers traded Solomon and draft selection 52 in exchange for draft selections 42 and 47.
This is a disgrace!!! Solly is still young with a few years still ahead of him... He's a Premiership player and from what you hear is generally well liked around the club... I'm not gonna try and defend his season this year but his overall record with us would be pretty bloody good!!! I reckon he will have a great season next year and all we get out of it is pick 42!!!!..... yeah we get 47 instead of 52 but five places at that end of the draft probably aint gonna matter that much...... Hey I might be wrong and we might get some gun at #42 who turns out to be the next Hird or Fletcher but I really do think this trade is gonna come back and bite us in the ass!!
Much the same as when we let Hardwick go......
Time will tell and I hope i'm wrong....
GO BOMBERS!!!!

have any of you guys considered the fact that maybe $oloman didn't want to stay? The club stood firm on a one year deal. That was all he deserved IMO. He has held the club to ransom before and was now holding out for a 2 year deal. If he wasn't traded, he may of walked in the PSD. He needed to pull his head in and take the one year deal and prove his worth to the Essendon Football Club, not hold out for a deal he did not earn!!! Good bye Dean, good luck at your new home, Bombers, let's close the book on this deal and move on trying to replace him with a more skilled, disciplined and dedicated player.
