Yeah it's not like there's free agency or trading that we can do...

The free agents we get would be fringe at best. Who would want to come here now?

Rumour on Triple M Adelaide that Hurley isn't happy at Essendon and wants out.

Did Roo switch stations or let go from the other radio station after is last statement? You would of thought he learnt already about making a statement like this..

 

[yaco55]

Lloyd was interviewed on AW, and stated that as of 2 weeks ago, no player is likely to leave, because of the supplements program.

He said that players could leave because of bigger offers/more opportunities etc - But nothing out of the ordinary.

Like I said in my last post

Elliot Kavanagh with a 3rd pre - season is like a 1st round draft pick, Joe Daniher with a 2nd pre season likewise..

Imagine we get a Dayle Garlett with our 3rd round draft pick and he comes out and DOMINATES next year?

flipping lol's if that happens.

 

[Hartnet]

it's been proved wrong once, it'll be proved wrong again

I agree, why would he be unhappy, number 1 forward, gets a game everyday of the week he's fit, only way I could see he was unhappy is if he wanted to play defense instead of a forward role,

Not saying I want him to leave but, gws put pick one on the table for a more natural forward (Boyd), wouldn't knock it back. Plus Taylor Adams of course

 

[Zach Package]

with the latest news in mind my thoughts are as follows.
Firstly I don't see picks as a necessary punishment, IMO they should be reserved for salary cap breaches and draft tampering, but here we are.

Secondly, we got the bargain of the century last year in Joe Daniher, as well as adding Goddard, we did well enough last year to mitigate basically all of the damage if we draft well, assuming it's just the one draft. 2 drafts makes it harder but by all means not impossible.

We've been really good at mining for talent recently, we will continue to do so and work through this, good players slide way past pick 50odd every year.

isnt that the same station that reported that hird was definitely going to stand down like a month ago

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

i know nothing has been finalised yet but i have 2 questions about the draft:
so when is the draft order finalised?
can we trade a player for a higher draft pick this year? and if so, would that draft pick still have to be after our original 1st and 2nd round picks?

 

[AB_Blue]

Firstly i come in peace.
Just wanted to know if you guys have any idea who is off contract.
Just by looking At the last few posts it seems Bellcho, gumby and crameri......anyone else?

The 2014 end of round 1 pick is clearly for a father son pick = Jake Long.

Absolute garbage from the AFL and Essendon's "negotiations".

 

[Phone]

see guys it could have been worse

 

[daz17]

Dodoro better be studying.

 

[Draft Bored]

Jack Package - add Jake Long to your list of J's. The AFL just gifted him to you.

How ****ing generous of them.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Jack Package - add Jake Long to your list of J's. The AFL just gifted him to you.

And just for the record, if we didn't get pick 18, we'd be getting Jake with our 3rd rounder. So your argument is invalid. Toodle-oo

ruddy lol's if that happens.

I think we'll look to trade out Jetta and see if we can get a second rounder for him. Dayle Garlett could come into play. Also a good chance we'll get a VFL player late in the draft.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

All dickheads aside, we do need to reassess our trading/contract strategy now.

The most harmful thing a club can do in terms of list management is to have a big gap in a particular age group. Of we have very little coming out of the 1995 and 1996 classes, it will hurt us massively. For that reason, I think we have to start shedding some talls, in particular Bellchambers who carries the most value. Pick 10 for Tom would go a long way to restoring the damage done today. Obviously there'd be immense pressure on Dodoro to nail the pick, but we have to make every effort to restore our position in both drafts.

McCartney was keen on Jetta last year. Package him with Crameri or Pears and take what we can get.

 

[Zach Package]

Was just going to say, that pick is definitely for Jake Long. It's a tiny tiny win, because Adelaide did get banned from taking father son's last year.

and we can trade into it as ben said

 

[Duckworth]

Jetta would be 3rd rounder if it's WB. Bellchambers/Pears to GWS - AFL would be pissed if we secured pick 10. Sheedy is still there right?

We need to be shrewd in our trading with GWS and GC. They will have 3rd and 4th rounders that will probably not be used by them, and could potentially be very important to us.

That's fine, 3rd rounders are valuable now, as you say.

You're also very correct with GWS and GC. Bellchambers for pick 9 and whatever picks are useless to GWS would be a perfect result.

Just realised it will be pick 9, as only eight of the bottom ten are eligible for first round selections.

Incorrect.

If another team wants to pick him they nominate before the draft what round they will be picking him in. If Essendon still want to get him for that pick they have to select him during that round.

That is why you had to use your first pick this year to get Daniher while Melbourne only had to use their second round pick to get Viney. No other club was willing to pick Viney in the first round. It happens prior to the draft.

That's not true at all. Port Adelaide bid their first rounder (#7) on Viney. Melbourne selected him with their next live pick, their second rounder (#26). Compensation picks aren't included. Try again.
