Caldwell officially has requested a trade home to Vic. nominated essendon

 

[Keystone agony]

Id love for players to start to pick states of where they'd like to go rather than specific clubs and create an auction.

Just not with Caldwell
eth-dog I even saw him listed on draft central at 184cm

 

[FlyingV]

GWS are going to be so salty. We’ve poached the guy we essentially gave them for Shiel.

 

[fairbump_playon]

If we get Dunkley, Caldwell, keep a top 10 pick and have James Stewart

kick 60 goals, fix Tom Hird blinking issues, a refreshed Zaka back to B&F form then the skies the limit for 2021.

Not discounting top 4 and a tilt at the flag.

. Not all bad for them

 

[Seb78]

Was the pick 11 used for Caldwell in his draft year one of the picks we gave for Shiel?

 

[fairbump_playon]

Re-zoned

run down former corner store is heavily renovated and becomes "character laden period piece with modern loft"

 

[mickd]

If Caldwell chooses us over St Kilda I’d be concerned about his decision making already.

He wants to play senior footy. Will not happen at saints

 

[freddy mercury]

Why would Caldwell want to come to Essendon? Doesn't he watch TV? Check the scores? Read social media or news? Poor kid.

 

[fairbump_playon]

The saints have crouch prisoner?

Ahhh LOL. Yes he was captured and is now trapped in the mud at Moorabbin.

 

[BeeZurk]

Lol

Jog on nuffo

 

[Hird05]

Next level negativity. You do support the dons yeah?

I prefer the destitute PSD gentrified with walkers

 

[citizen-erased]

yep it was.

 

[faible]

Next level negativity. You do support the dons yeah?

Kelvin was posting positive stuff this morning, maybe the real kelvin has taken over freddy's account?

 

[srobbo]

Caldwell nominates us

Will be a great get!

 

[Howard Moon]

Caldwell by name, called well by nature

 

[freddy mercury]

Next level negativity. You do support the dons yeah?

Used to until they started standing for nothing and accepting that being a mediocre side was more than okay if they're making record profits each year

a five-season deal to lure him to the Dons as well as the centre-square opportunities to help him grow into an elite inside midfielder.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

There’s rumours McKernan is headed to GWS.

Nice delisting Essendon, could’ve been steak knives in a trade.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Kelvin was posting positive stuff this morning, maybe the real kelvin has taken over freddy's account?

Everyone knows he was being sarcastic and funny.. right?

Personally I'm a big fan of the new approach.

Cool. Seems odd your still here then
