News Lovett to St Kilda

Please, not again.

How many times must rumours of Kerr being up for trade be proved as rumours before the rumours stop?

How many times must rumours of Kerr being up for trade be proved as rumours before the rumours stop?

Rumour is that there are more rumours to come of a rumoured Kerr trade. If Pazza is willing to share his knowledge via PM, I wouldn't mind having a chat to him about prospects. But from the outside, it's stupid.

Just like the people offering Pick 16 + Nash for Burgoyne. I have not seen one article that confirms Port are interested in him, it is mearly people linking him with them due to his adelaide roots.

 

[Kettles]

For pick 16... this is a joke for a proven finisher who possesses amazing leg speed. My disappointment is palpable.

 

[Call Me Cake]

your dreaming if you thing pick 16 will get you Burgoyne

With Hawthorn officially out of the race (as reported) packaging pick 16 with something else for Burgoyne would be a bargain as Port would hate to get nothing in the end. They'll be pretty desperate.

We can essentially play hard ball, if we want to.

Other than that, I say no to the guy.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

They're not out of the race. Reported today that they expected to get a deal done within 24/48 hours.

Incredible effort. Fantastic result. Much better than i'd hoped for. Now just pick the right bloke!

Great work EFC!

Nearly as good as the effort that saw EFC, or should I say Knighter and his crew, unload Hislop. Now that was incredible, and fantastic.
Great work Knighter and crew, and EFC.

 

[Spikey]

That's so a year ago.

And didn't Hislop set Richmond alight....

They're not out of the race. Reported today that they expected to get a deal done within 24/48 hours.

I've heard about Port giving the Hawks a wishlist and handing down a 24 hour limit before they move to the second best option (Essendon), but I haven't heard that it was "expected to be done".

Read in today's Herald Sun (and heard on the news) that the Hawks have switched their interest from Burgoyne to Jolly with pick 9, leaving Essendon the chance to snare him up.

Port have also said that out of all the clubs that have remained interested, "Essendon is the most likely destination."

But who knows, clubs have been known to change their minds during draft week before...

I actually don't know if you're being sincere or sarcastic?

Genuine, I would've thought, considering Hislop was a **** that can't play football.

More chance of Ben getting drafted by us then than is Atkinson surpassing Lovett

They didn't invite me to Draft Camp, because they wanted other kids to have a chance.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Anyone know what's up with Trade 7 on the trade tracker (afl website)
Syd and Bris just swapped picks?

I think it's an evener for the 3-way deal.

Brisbane got well and truly r*ped in what is now a 4-way deal.

Brisbane:
Gain: Buchanan, Staker, Pick 47
Lose: Dalziell, Pick 28

Sydney:
Gain: Seaby, Pick 28, Pick 39
Lose: Hall, Buchanan, Pick 22

West Coast:
Gain: Dalziell, Pick 22
Lose: Seaby, Staker, Pick 39

Western Bulldogs:
Gain: Hall
Lose: Pick 47

TRADE WEEK: St Kilda confirms Andrew Lovett's move to the Saints for pick 16 in the draft. Bombers likely to trade that pick later this week

[redandblackbomba]

Pick 16 is ample for Port or they get nothing for him in the PSD, they have done this before so who knows.
Pick 16 for Lovett is a good result for the EFC

The other guy was a Hislop follower, not me.

 

[TheStinger]

Thank you very much Matthew Knights.

Look forward to him running towards our goal instead of splitting our defence.

Pick 16 for Lovett is a good result for the EFC

Remember the Dees have Cartlon's pick 11 for McLean

Are you one of those morons that posted on the Essendon website?

I didn't realise we had so many nuffa supporters but i have been given a rude awakaning in recent times since reading all of the comments from Essendon supporters that go with the stories.

98% of the posts on the Essendion website are saying we got robbed in the trade for Lovett.

Many are balaming Knights and calling for his sacking.

Many are saying we have become a joke of a club at trading and Dodoro must go immediately.

Many are vastly over-rating how good Luke Ball is.

Many are saying we should have netted a top 5 pick for Lovett.

These are the same morons that were mentioning names like Peake and Drum in straight swaps for Lovett.

Seriously, Essendon supporters are becoming a joke with their over-rating of players and their lack of knowledge about opposition players.

The guy walked out on the club and Essendon got the absolute best possible deal they could for him. The club should be commended for their efforts not have pages of insulkts thrown at them on the Essendon website!

 

[Spikey]

I'd take Shane Tuck before him tbh

 

[TheStinger]

Luke Ball would be good for you guys. He is one of the best tacklers in the league and he makes his opponent work hard both ways to beat him. You won't find a guy who gives more everytime he is out there than Luke Ball.

Agree with most of what you said Jim.

This is what I don't agree with. We, along with every other club, have nuff-nuffs. That's the pleasure of following a professional team sport; it attracts all sorts.

If you don't like it; I suggest you go and follow a sport like lawn bowls.

We seem to have more than most. The club did so brilliantly to land pick #16 but under normal circumastances you would still expect there to be a few nuff-nuffs who don't have any idea. But if you look at the Essendon website it is filled with about 98% nuffies who have NFI what they are on about.

Or i could continue doing what i have been doing to Essendon supporters at the games. Telling them to STFU and leant something about football. Too many nuffie supporters more interested in bagging our players and club instead of actually watching the game. So ironic that all these nuff nuffs on the Essendon website are bagging Knights and co, saying he is turning us into Richmond when it is our nuff nuff supporters that are making us as pathetic as Richmond. Hope bf posters don't take this the wrong way. Many are clued on on our board and actually know something.

I agree, I'm with ya.

But that's a small portion of our supporter base, so I couldn't give a rat's arse to be honest.

Yeah i know, just had to get it off my chest!
