How much did you see him live?

Literally not at all, didn’t see a minute f any of them live, but that’s also not the point.

My opinion of the traits he has and how it aligns with what we need pre draft was only reinforced by the fact Freo was the club that ended up calling his name out.

You back their eye in anyway because of their track record but particularly on their judgement of Sweid given the clear and obvious similarities between him and Caleb Serong. They have good form.

Freo have still had their misses and are yet to achieve anything (win a final with this lot), but no doubt will

Erasmus
Amiss
L.Henry
H.Chapman
Sturt as top 17 picks hardly scream stars

Cerra at 6 seems meh, but you take it (But its probably behind Parish 5)

Theyve had their misses. Theyve also only picked once inside the top 33 before Sweid in the last 4 years

J.Clark
Mcvee
L.Jackson
Shai Bolton

a fair reason to their results atm aswell..... not sure we as a melbourne club get this luxury of quality player wanting to come to our club

Why does freo and Essendon need the same traits and if they, do then which clubs dont need those traits?

Good backmen win you premierships.

Isnt Mckay, Ridley, Redman, Mcgrath, Reid, Roberts good?

Roberts and Farrow off the HB line is chef's kiss

Roberts and Farrow off the HB line is chef's kiss

Lets see how good they are

I do like that weve added some left footers back there. Helps with shifting to each side easier imo. Think Angus Clarke off half back needs to be put alongside them aswell as being just as good

Looks like we might be filling our second CAT-B Rookie spot with someone from Ireland

Sure it is. You've stuck your flag in the ground based on not much.

Same as everyone else.

I watch the seniors and the ressies enough to identify the attributes and skills we are consistently short in.

From there it's just a venn diagram of strengths which is enough for me.

In this particular niche case there are a few other reasons that are just additional gravy on top that I think reenforce as well.

My point wasnt that you dont know what skills we need.

Its you dont really know what the player we didnt match brings.

Hard working, bollocking crash and bash inside mid, with clean hands and a sprinkle of forward half ability not a need?

Cmon man

So you are saying Robey and sharp do not have those traits ?

Hi guys excuse the intrusion

There are rumors around on Richmond forums that the bombers may have signed Thomas Burton who is a train on player with Richmond currently. Does Essendon have a rookie list spot and have there been any word on this in your forum
would most likely be for the Nick Martin LTI i suspect if true

Cheers

Nick Martin is the spot; they must have moved quickly if this is true.

Scott’s reaction is interesting and also how the team works without the dud

Best part was the words "stick to the plan".

Do we think Dodoro even knew what the word plan meant?
