Recommitted Jordan Ridley [UFA 2029] - name was floated for a move to Brisbane in 2025, stayed

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Breathe friend

13 losses in a row with the last game being a 95 point belting

The club is a shambles I suspect Ridley won't be the last

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

What I'm learning is if you're a "big club" you're a pretty good chance of being a rabble.

We are broken club and they need help

 

[Keystone agony]

Should be simple

Brisbane pay up for Band 1 Draper, Then Essendon pay part of Ridleys contract but get a 1st rounder in

We shall see. If Ridley does go I take it as a sign the club learned its lesson from its past mistakes.

 

[Yoda_]

am I daft for wanting 2 x firsts knowing they're both likely in the teens ?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I think the club will make it very tough for Ridley to leave unless we get compensated really well.

Contracted till 2029 when up and running he's a very good player and Brisbane need to pay up.

it is time to bring the riddler home

 

[GenericUsername202]

Now can we have Neale?

You'll get him at the end of next year.

 

[longdonkey]

The system is broken if Brisbane can bring in Oscar Allan, Draper, and Ridley.

Meanwhile Bowes and Pick 7 to Geelong and Barrass and Battle and maybe Butters to Hawthorn - all good

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Couple of firsts the minimum here. Going to be interesting

Can't play for the Brions if you're living on the Bellarine Peninsula

How doea a club that’s a good chance to win two premierships in a row then go land Allen on close to a Mil, Draper on good doh, and Ridley, and get a top draft pick in the door at the same time.
I guess Starcevich would be a player to help broker a deal given the Dons have an interest in him..and overpay Draper to get a band one compo pick..Draft picks aren’t the answer for struggling clubs. It’s a self perpetuating prophecy of mediocrity..

 

[Libbaaaa]

Never plays, soft tissue history, mammoth contract and a top 5 candidate to be medically retired with another concussion.

The AFL don't care about the bottom teams equalization my farking arse.

Up the Draper deal to band 1 and a future first.

Unfortunately we are out of the race for Starcevich it's stay at Brisbane or he goes home to WC. And this year is the worst draft to load up on picks

Is that what Brisbane are calling brown paper bags these days..

Easy. We have better list management than any other club barring maybe geelong. We don't blow our cap on 2-3 players like St Kilda and Melbourne, rather we have a more even spread. Likewise, our team has a lot of players under the age of 22, who wouldn't be given big contracts yet as well. We're also more than willing to let players go who can get more elsewhere (ah chee and starce will probably leave).

 

[jackag24]

Unfortunately for Essendon his worth is quite low at the moment, I'd hold him to his contract

Ah Chee as part of the Ridley trade would be good but he's from SA right and Crows after him?

The joke is that this is all about Brisbane and Gold Coast but the AFL are only going to half close the gate.
Free Agency means the rorting and uneven competition continues.

we are currently paying our players in gold and silver bullion warren tredrea style to circumvent the salary cap. don't let the afl hear about it though.

Bottom clubs have become feeders for the top teams AFL are too dumb to see this.

The trick is to become a top team. Brisbane were a feeder club but then we fixed our culcha.

Essendon knows what it has to do to be great again.
