    Club Focus Essendon 2025

    Plenty of footy left this year, but hard to see us winning more than 2-3 games, melbourne too so safe to say we'll have two of picks 4,5 or 6, moving back a back once WCE get compo for Allen. Draper looks gone, likely band 2 compo, which will be pick 19 that moves back a couple of spots...

    Club Focus Essendon 2024

    Working from what we know the club is clear we want to keep our high end picks, we also know we need to have about 900-1000 draft points to match a kako bid around picks 13-15 (if he goes there as projected). We have a lots of guys in the fringe/depth/role player category at years end, some...

    Club Focus Essendon 2024

    Some good a less good strategies here.... my thoughts. Retire - goldstein and heppell Delist - weidermann, wanganeen trade - shiel to saints for pick 46, wright a pick in the 40's, stringer F3 (think there would be suiters) 1 years deals with triggers - hunter, kelly, j davey, baldwin...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    Hi all, Long time since I have posted but interested on your thoughts. Looking at our current contract status and trade bait after Friday's loss, I normally do this once I think the season is 'done.' On balance I think its more likely than not we miss finals now but taking a glass half full...

    Club Focus Essendon 2023

    Lord - delist Phillips - retired Tippa - retire (will stay on staff with vfl coaching role) BTZ - trade (not quite a 1st choice key back - currency will never be higher) Mcbride - delist (was a cat b rookie so not absorbing a list spot) Parish - lose to FA (always been a fan but on balance we...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency X - Club has elected not to fill list spot - Davey returning from injury?

    Need to break down the realities and the likelihoods before speculating too far ahead.... We currently have 5 snr list spots following smith, hurley, tippa retirements and cutler, mcdonagh delistings (hird was cat b rookie, not counted in list numbers). Forgive me if I'm wrong but currently...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency X - Club has elected not to fill list spot - Davey returning from injury?

    Using footywire as a guide we have 23 out of contract out of contract at years end... there 2 CAT B rookies are worth another year provided no one is earmarked for one of these spots. Hurley looks certain to retire... tippa seems more than likely. Perkins, cox and reid all sign for 2. Mcgrath...

    Club Focus Collingwood 2021 - Kreuger, Lipinski, Daicos, Murley, Harrison

    Didn't realise that was the GWS position.... with any luck they don't bid at all. Aren't they really into Mac Andrews. Even if he goes at 3 you need about 200 points however it is hard to see you not using a pick for either lipiski of krueger this year unless you're looking at taking one in the PSD

    Club Focus Collingwood 2021 - Kreuger, Lipinski, Daicos, Murley, Harrison

    He will go pick 2. Currently need 420 points to match. Trade cox or lynch to once of the QLD clubs for a pick in the 50's that they're not going to use anyway. Still about 200 points away..... Offer a future 3rd or pick 48 for lipinski..... dogs can take their pick. Future 3rd likely to be a...

    Strategy 2021 Trade Hypotheticals

    I'm playing with a collingwood hypothetical.... after completely ballsing up last years trade period I think the pies should be doing everything they can to pinch the #1 pick so they can take horne-francis, prior to the bid on daicos. How you ask? well.... Darcy moore and future 2nd rd pick for...

    Club Focus Gold Coast 2021 - Chol, Andrew, Constable

    I based that on the draft order at the time of my post... it's subject to quite a bit of change as ladder positions change

    Club Focus Gold Coast 2021 - Chol, Andrew, Constable

    Hard to see this pick moving, particularly for a straight swap. As previously raised attracting the 'right' player is difficult, this person will need good leadership qualities, worth ethic and a positive contributor to culture and performance. They tend to stay at their own club or go home...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency IX

    Went to the VFL game a windy hill last weekend, love getting there to see some of our younger and depth players do their thing. Thought our best player on the ground was VFL listed player Angus Baker, seems a no brainer we'll take him in the mid season draft. Another option and far more...
