Big fan of this kid from what i've seen. Champion Data had him ranked as the #16 player available from last year's draft for what it's worth. Hope to see him get a game soon!
I'm for it. Granted a completely different kettle of fish, but it works quite well in the NBA. Player X is traded to the Chicago Bulls who return trade Player Y and a pick for the first round of the year following draft. Happens quite often actually.
Did we see it to some extent when both GC...
Hannath looked okay from the games i've seen him play, add him to your backup stocks. I can easily see Clarke being Ryder's replacement at the Bombers. I've always rated Clarke when he's had the opportunity, but a top 20 pick is a bit opportunistic if we're to compare that McEvoy and Ryder were...
Anybody else feel this has similarities of the McEvoy trade from a few years back? Obviously under completely different circumstances but - Good ruckman for a late first rounder and a sweetner. If history is to somewhat repeat itself, who do Port have that could be the sweetner? I've heard Cam...
Really hope this lad gets picked up. Live locally to Noarlunga and have seen him a handful of times, enough to develop a footy crush on him. The kid is an absolute gun.
Have a mate who has played with him at South who can't speak highly enough of him. Says his work ethic is unreal, runs a high...
Sure, Captain Coach.
But in all seriousness, those blokes are probably the only real trade targets Essendon can offer up. A doubtful scenario nonetheless.
I've heard the same, would love him at the Bombers. I'd be packaging up Tayte Pears, Melksham and Bellchambers for him and a second/third round pick. For me, he's worth trading a first round pick...which we don't have!
Rumour is Tippett to GC for a pick. Ebert to Port will almost 100% happen, much the same for Clark to the Eagles. Potentially Ebert goes to Port with a pick, which goes to the Lions, which sees Clark go to the Eagles :confused: ...something like that anyway.
With Guy McKenna signalling they may offload this seasons #4 pick, i'd highly consider putting a package together including David Myers and Gumby. God knows I love both players, but with Hurley emerging as a real dominant key position player, and with the likes of Dempsey and Winderlich...
All the best to Luke. Has always been a favourite player of mine, although he did play for the wrong club :P
But i'm liking the notion of players who have previously proven themselves at other clubs, THEN taking the money at a new club, not the other way round. Luke Power is a triple...
Bollenhagen and Sumner would be very handy acquisitions in my opinion. Both quite silky link up players who could give some much needed quality ball into the likes of Butcher, Schulz and whatnot (I am an Essendon fan based in S.A, but Attend most port home games, lets call it a soft spot for...
Thats true. Didn't really think about that. Just had a flick through some of the drafts from '06-'09 and if we drafted Selwood, finished a few places higher theres still some quality young mids that potentially could have got picked up. Beauty of hindsight.
Having said all that, I am very glad...
As in a bigger scalp marketing-wise? I think Issy Folau has that covered.
Rumour also had it, that if Trengove were Victorian, his name would have been read first. But take that with a pinch of salt as politics and state v state rivalry is next to nothing these days.
Having said that, I still...
If anything, the signing would give the GWS kids a bit of mongrel to aspire to. Sure, they'll get belted each week, but Cornes will instill some pride into the jumper. I reckon it'd be a great aquisition to get a player with his credentials - even if it's just for a year. Scully, Ward and Davis...
Very sad to see the state of Gumby. He was touted as a star but his body has let him down continually. A bit disheartening to see some of the picks after Gumby in '06 - Leunberger, Joel Selwood (this is an amazing oversight), Jack Riewoldt, Tippett and Goldstein at pick #37.
The beauty of...
