Take your point, but we'd have to get rid of 2/3rds of our list for that exact reason!Sismis wrote:Why are they getting rid of him? He was always looked to as someone to take over responsibility when the premiership group faded out. He has never stepped up. Has some streakish ability but do we really want a player who cannot maintain consistancy?

I should clarify what I was saying...
He is good in an excellent unit, with the likes of some of the names I mentioned earlier. He'd probably do well enough in our side, but we're lacking in areas that he can't fill.
As has been said, we have an abundance of flanker style players. We need a CHB and some gun midfielders, which Notting really isn't either (although he could possibly fill the midfield role?).
Agree with antcl, we should be focusing on youth.

You guys should join the circus with keplar do you seriousley think Lee Mathews would take Cole ,Mathews is clearing the decks ,which you must do after any era .All the players being offered up dont fit the long term plan , are too old or have long injury histories, or are just plain pain in the arses.This is what Essendon should have done two seasons a go instead of proping up the list with hacks from other teams and persisting with players who for one reason or another have escaped scrutiny eg; reynolds.hennerman.peverill.bolton,
Let's see, we have;antcl wrote:lets see, we have Cole, McPhee, NLM, Solomon, Welsh, McVeigh and MJ who are all small=>medium defenders AND YOU WANT TO ADD ANOTHER ONE?
Whats more, he's 27! People, we came 2nd last, focus a bit more on youth.
Cartledge 21
Bradley 21
Dempsey 19
Dyson 21
Johns 21
Jolley 20
Laycock 22
Lee 20
Lonergan 19
Lucy 19
Monfries 19
Nash 20
Neagle 18
Ryder 18
Slattery 20
Stanton 20
Watson 21
Winderlich 22
That's 43% of our current list 22 and under. How much youth do you want???
