Just saw this written on a facebook page - AFL FREE AGENCY, TRADE, DRAFT...

ESSENDON: have committed to Joe Daniher with their first round pick, the bombers have also committed to Daniel Thompson, son of Mark.

The second part is news to me. Can sanybody confirm that this is true or is this not decided yet? Also if anybody can shed some light on Thompson the player? Hope we don't pick up a dud just because he has the name Thompson.
 
Would wait for some sort of confirmation, but interesting if so.

We're going to assemble the kids of the 1990 GF side and wreak horrible revenge upon Collingwood, hopefully.
 
What's our last pick? Doubt it would be any higher then that.

We don't know yet. We haven't done any delistings.

At the rate we're going our last pick is Joe Daniher.

Stop reading crap.
 
Also how can we have committed to daniher with our first rounder if bidding hasn't happened yet?

Well we obviously haven't. There is simply an assumption that a team ahead of us will nominate him, which will happen. We should have tanked harder to reduce that likelihood ;)

As of next year Tania's uterus will have her own award for services to the club...

Even if we are interested in picking him up, which doesn't sound likely, no way we have committed to him before the F/S bidding. Why would we, it just compromises the bidding process for us.
Only reason we have committed to Big Joe is to keep him out of the u17 mini-draft last year and keep Sydney's mitts off him.
 
And we will whisper in the ear of all the clubs before us that Joe D has a OP and an ACL injury and a AC join heck up and we pick him up for our second pick o_O right?
 
im happy to orchestrate a fake cabbie bashing, ill borrow my uncle's silvertop, grow a moustache and make sure I get that herp a derp face fairly and squarely on camera

I think there was a change to the F/S bidding process this year that makes it possible to pick the player up in the rookie draft if you declare that you are going to bid for them. If the rules were changed before last year we would currently have Dunnell on our list
