It now looks like he pulled the pin beacuse of the saga. The club may have talked him out of it but he only wants to go on at another club then that speaks volumes about how he is feeling at the minute.
No that is rubbish, I suspect you know that too. However, after deciding to play again the bullcrap around who is and isn't appealing plus Hird being sacked then not sacked (for the immediate term) would probably give him the attitude of "eff this".

Hey I am guessing just like you. If you want to spin it so your club is painted in the best possible light then so be it. I don't have to buy what your selling.
IMO - a life member walking out is really damming.
Geelong traded Steven King and Charlie Gardiner for pick 91, which they ended up not using. There'd be no point trading Winderlich in that instance.

It's a damn shame - We're a dysfunctional family at Tullamarine presently. I reckon employ Mark Harvey as coach, send Hird and Bomber off with a wave (and $), thank Paul Little for having a go (albeit a questionable one), trade Ryder for pick 17, tell Howlett to s**t or get off the can and let Winderlich retire or go (the blokes been through hell over the past 10 years). Honestly, let anyone who wants to leave exercise their right. We need a clean house, guilty/not guilty, whatever- the damage is done. I'd sooner watch us cellar dwell with U18 and VFL players in the jumper for the next 15 years if I thought it would get us some credibility and integrity back down the track. Bring in the toilers, the pure, the uninfected and let em win back the football community's trust.

Don't think its been posted here but Richmond have all but ruled out trading for him, will only be as a FA, probably as a rookie.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
If only Essendons CEO thought like Josh....This storm would have died off a looong time ago

Yes it would be you releasing him and us picking him up in the rookie draft if we were to rookie him.

Worth noting Richmond always leave space to upgrade two rookies to the main list prior to round 1, would probably be guaranteed one of those spots fitness permitting is my guess. Anyway the important part is that Richmond aren't going to trade for him, so Essendon either have to release him or he retires I guess.
As a rookie upgrade wouldn't he be on minimum wage? I would have thought he'd be on higher at EFC, albeit probably linked to games played. Sounds odd.
Sure there is. Get him where he wants to go. Which is what I was saying. Not worried about compensation given his age, service and injury status.

Slightly different from your "will never return to the club". Saying Winders won't play for the club again because he "is not prepared to through a 2015 season which could see Essendon players sanctioned by ASADA" is very different and understandable. Your sentence implied he never wanted anything to do with the club again.

Nah, you can pay rookies whatever you want. Scotland ended his career on the rookie list, for example. It then only counts against your salary cap while said rookie is promoted.

Cant be a FA and end up a rookie.

Heh.

I'm stoked Winderlich's staying. He'd be a bad leader to lose in what's going to be another difficult year I reckon
Class by EmmaQ to post it.
I do still wonder how much of this was actually true.
Wanted nothing to do with EFC wednesday, going around again with EFC friday.....
not a single quote from him or his manager.
