It would be nice if he used this pace defensively on the odd occasion. Absolutely refused to chase or run to pick up loose players last night. You just can't have that from a defender, stands out like dogs balls.

This whole gorilla forward thing makes no sense to me. I don't understand why Tippett played on Walker last week. We have a glaring hole for a gorilla fullback and we are trying to address it. So we develop two: Tarrant and Tippett. Come round one, we play our gorilla fullback Tippett on a...

And Essendon supporters wonder why they are so loathed.

Yeah, weird circumstances with Durdin this year though. Missed preseason and struggled with form after breaking his hand. Played FF at times, but often in the ruck due to lack of a ruckman in his team. Obviously not ideal for his development as a kpp. Was rated a top 3 pick before this year, so...

Bruce Lewis (head recruiter) has already said that he views Durdin as a forward. I'd imagine he will be built up as a centrepiece in the forward line.

Could McMahon make a move back to the forward line? Used to go alright there.

It's Joel Perry all over again...

Here I was thinking that Harper missed most of last year with injury. HE PLAYED 17 GAMES. Not confident he will be able to break into the senior team. The guy has been in Werribee's best players FOUR TIMES in his CAREER. Breaks my heart realising this, I was his biggest fan a few years back :(

Can't believe people are against this. We are trading a fringe VFL player for a former Brownlow medallist... AND the dogs are essentially paying his salary. There are several recent examples of disenchanted players changing clubs and quickly returning to their prior form: Brian Lake, Bernie...

People talking about using Harper in a low possession impact role. Hasn't Turner shown he plays this role better than Harper ever did? I used to love Kieran Harper. Oodles of talent and class, but doesn't find another of the pill. I'd give him another year, but it would speculative at best.

You do realise that argument also works in reverse, yeah? If you want to offer him so much... He must be worth something decent.

No you wouldn't, you are posturing to suit your argument and you know it. Dan Hannebery is comfortably worth a top 10 pick.

If he has been low balled he should get more. I want him to stay, he is young and coming off a great season including strong finals performances. A pick in the 20's is not fair value. Worth 10-15 at a minimum.

Second round pick for one of the top players in a team that made a prelim? Yeah, sounds fair...
