Nah, the spewing is just the lingering side-effects...Essendon has long had the idea that if a kid is indigenous he must play for the bombers. They must be spewing that the missed out on Ben Long.
Wasn’t Chris indigenous?
If so, that’s the reason.
Great pun. 5 star rating.Essendon has long had the idea that if a kid is indigenous he must play for the bombers. They must be spewing that the missed out on Ben Long.
Wasn’t Voss really promising at the back end of the season as a bottom ager? He was also a stand out as a 15 year oldWill need to keep an eye on Voss and Milne in the TAC Cup this year. They were pretty lacklustre as bottom agers, but I wonder how training with the Saints will help them. Hopefully getting a taste of the professional environment will boost their influence on TAC Cup games.

i think we have more chance of landing Fyfe then we do Kelly ... from what i have heard we have twice put forward very good offers to him and he has rejected them twice ... so short of him geting into some kind of trouble and his value plumenting i cant see him in red white and black ..If Kelly wanted to come to us, it would have been more obvious by now. He named the Kangaroos as being a chance after he re-signed with the Giants.
That ship has either sailed or isn’t even on the water. Josh Kelly isn’t happening. We aren’t in the picture.
surely we are getting the old Toadfish...Well if they’re as good at fishing as you are then I guess it’s “welcome to the Saints Jack Beercan and Josh Gumboot”

If you shared my wife's philosophy, you'd think that it would be worth the club nagging at him until he signed up just to get them to shut up.
SaintsSeptember I take it you are fairly confident that your wife is not going to read this then?
Think this bloke had been mentioned as a possible FA #strikehimoff
Yeah I don’t think it would be too hard to sell the advantages of Sydney either. They lose out of playing in front of big home crowds but that’s not exactly something we can promise eitherClark also reporting we were interested ( as were 16 other clubs ). Be interesting to see if Shiel was the last of the GWS to leave. They look to have built a strong culture there.

I know a player's sister, apparently they were all living a fair way out of the city early on, but at some place where they could all walk between each others houses and it was all pretty communal.They could walk a few doors down to a mates place and they can knock about at the beach or in the city and no-one knew who they were. Sounded pretty good.
I think as we move on with life from FA, we'll see more of the Shiel type situation.Updated AFL FA list released a couple of days ago is looking pretty thin now with Haynes gone.
Realistically the options I would be interested in are down to (in order of preference):
1. Nick Smith2. Brad Sheppard3. Rory Thompson4. Adam Tomlinson5. Tom Liberatore
If we were a little closer to finals I would love to throw coin at Sam Jacobs or Matthew Kruezer. But not sure we are in the window for that yet.
With Haynes out of the picture we might have to either lower our standards, or look at moving for a 2020 FA (Whitfield, Grundy, Viney) or 2020 OOC (Hunter, DeGoey, Witherdon) and see if we can shake one loose a year early (unlikely but what the hell).
Relax now there champ. Improvement is all we need, a better 2018 could've resulted in us getting Shiel possibly. We got that with Carlisle in 2015, we improved and showed promises from 2014 in 2015, resulted in getting Snake. We're very capable of attracting players, it all comes down to culture and form, and the playing list. This year is pointing towards a much better season, hopefully it is and not another s**t show under Richo.even if a sought after GWS star wanted out, why would they come to our club? they have a bunch of clubs to choose from in Victoria, many of which more successful than ours, playing finals, with respected coaches and leaders.
i'd have us ahead of Carlton and that's about it.
