Another midget. We need to look at getting some bigger bodied players on to the list, particularly around the midfield.

Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.
Clearly no other club is chasing Stringer or has the trade currency which is why Dodoro felt comfortable getting the Smith deal done using 11. I dont believe they would be throwing away any chance of getting Stringer just to go f*** You Bulldogs. So I would imagine behind the scenes the deal is still alive and now depending on the outcome of what we do with the 2 second round picks. I am guessing these will be traded for a selection in the high teens to satisfy the Bulldogs. We'll see I guess
Either way, Smith is the best of the three S's in my opinion so very pleased to have him locked down

Don't make any mistake. This is a shot at the Dogs.
My first thought. It stuck it right up 'em!
Worsfold wrote:... Smith is a welcome addition to the Club’s list..
“He is an exciting midfielder, who hunts the footy and uses it well. He adds that depth that we’ve been looking to add to our midfield group,” Worsfold said.
“We want guys that we know can play at the elite level but also have character - guys that are hungry to get the best out of themselves.
“We want players owning their own career and driving themselves to achieve the maximum they can and by doing so help us, as a team, achieve the goals that we are aiming for.

VFL, reckon the club is hoping the likes of Mutch, Begley, Langford, Laverde will develop into those big bodied midfield types.
Reckon it is probably too soon to expect too much from Mutch and Begley and there are obviously still pretty significant question marks over Langford and Laverde.

But what other inside mid types are available?
Dylan Clarke is an extractor. An honest footballer but still a while away I expect. With some more body and another year, I hope he can take the leap. He's not the answer you're looking for I expect.
I watched him as a junior where he was a clear standout against the likes of Begley and Gallucci from Adelaide. Of course the big league is different but I have hope for his development, but not holding my breathe.
Rumours circulating on Bomberblitz that Paul Connors is looking at pulling out the breach of contract play against the Bulldogs to get the trade done and get Stringer to Essendon. Couple of posters have claimed he has had several discussion with Paul Marsh, the head of the AFLPA and has his backing to go that route.

How have the Bulldogs breached their contract with Stringer?

Aaron Francis perhaps.....
Looks like there is little love coming his way from the 2 Adelaide clubs. Seems a weird strategy to restrict your choice to a place where there is only two clubs that you haven't even communicated with.
My material isn't very good..Oh...and then there's the bladder problem.
