I think Dempsey should be firmly on the table if it would get us Mundy.s'dreams wrote:Yeah well ... in terms of rebounding half backs we are a bit thin... I'd put Dempsy off the table... that leaves Atkinson (not enough cachet to swing the deal), Houli (just won't work - family), and ... now I'm struggling ...

From the Freo chatrooms ... they seem to be keen on a readymade rebounding defender to replace Tarrant or a marking forward.
Sorry ... but Hooker isn't either of these.
Dyson anyone?

Dyson is ready made to do what...?
Hell, if you're right though, would approve that deal in a heartbeat.
Maybe I'd offer Davey.

Re: Mundy
I disagree - Dempsey is a victim of being played out of his best position (as has been the case with several Bombers under No-Idea-Knighta.Jazz_84 wrote:100% agree.... L-Murray tooBomberinJapan wrote: I think Dempsey should be firmly on the table if it would get us Mundy.
Plant Dempsey on a wing for one season with a license to run with the ball, and kick long to the forward line and forget about being a defender and we may just have a Peter Matera type player. If it doesnt work, then sure, f*** him off. But please, dont judge the guy based on his performances as a half back flanker.
Re: Mundy
Well, I guess it's irrelevant now, but my post wasn't a knock against Dempsey....you just have to be willing to give something to get something. Mundy for Dempsey seemed like it would be an increase in talent on our list.Windy_Hill wrote:I disagree - Dempsey is a victim of being played out of his best position (as has been the case with several Bombers under No-Idea-Knighta.Jazz_84 wrote:100% agree....

Re: Mundy
the best midfielders available for trade are actually at Essendon.Windy_Hill wrote:Well lets hope Dempsey can step up next season coz at this rate, we aint picking up anybody in the trade period (other than cast offs)
Stanton, Houli and Jetta.
Re: Mundy
can't agree enough with that! The Emu was born to run, not be a defender can't wait to see him cause a bot of havok for oppositions next year when he gets a decent coach who can see what we've all been going on about for years now..... let the Emu runWindy_Hill wrote:I disagree - Dempsey is a victim of being played out of his best position (as has been the case with several Bombers under No-Idea-Knighta.Jazz_84 wrote:100% agree....

Re: Mundy
Wonder whether things would have turned out differently had the Hird deal been announced a little earlier?

Re: Mundy
personally, I think any young player who is in their best 22 or knocking on the door would be NUTS to leave Fremantle now.
they are going to be top 4 next year and harvs will open up their premiership window.
Essendon is a couple of years behind. Right now, if your 17/18, Essendon is the club to be drafted too.
