    Recommitted Michael Hurley?

    Yep. Forced to trade 3 premiership players 5 minutes after having lifted the premiership cup. And yes, total mismanagement of the cap. The Mercuri deal was just unfortunate. Dead set gun that would probably almost be the equal of the three players traded in the fire sale...

    Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

    Hope Wallis is as hard at it like his old man was.... I can still remember Wally cleaning up Mil Hanna in the 93 GF.

    Mega Thread The Suspended 12- who stays and who goes- DISCUSSION HERE PLEASE

    Rule of thumb in football. Flankers are easier to replace than Key position players... It's not called "key position" for nothing... As soon as bans were announced I said to mates that from a list perspective there were 3 key signatures we had to get and they were Heppell, Hurley & Hooker...

    Trading the #1 pick

    I think GC would be absolutely mad not to trade for #1. Bowes rated as top 3. If Essendon bid GC have to match with #5 and have #8 downgraded to #17 to make up the required points... Bowes + #17 Or trade and have #1 and Bowes (bid being matched by 3 of the 4 picks they currently hold on the 2nd...

    Will you appreciate a flag more now?

    I was there in '93 that was the flag I appreciated most. The greatest football day of my life! All week commentators were saying the scum were going to smash us... Nothing better than sticking it to Sticks! Bruce Doull was sitting in front of us and got up to leave half way through the last...

    Essendon 2011

    Agree the game has changed and now that theyv'e got the KPP's they will go after the midfielders. One of the first things Hirdy mentioned was the midfield.

    Will we make the 8 in 2011?

    I dont think so... Everything would have to go right. Injuries, consistency, established players stepping up, younger players having some impact and a perfecting the gameplan quickly... You never know, we could surprise like Freo did last year It will be a development year though im...

    Essendon 2011

    EXACTLY :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: Those saying Watson is only a 3 or 4 rank in the midfield are basing it on the role of the breakaway ball carrying midfielder. Watson is not in that mould so to try to rank him on that basis is incorrect.

    Essendon 2011

    Im happy with the direction the club is taking. We are starting to get back on track after having lost our way. Our drafting strategy has been to go for the KP players first as they take longer to develop and now we are adding the mids and addressing other areas of concern such as small...

    The Forward Line

    I remember watching him a couple of years back in some early season matches playing as a midfielder and he was killing it! I remember talking to mates who support other clubs and even they were saying how good he was looking in the midfield... The move to the midfield just never eventuated...

    1st Round Draft Predictions

    As the other Bomber supporters said - we need midfielders! We've got enough forward options: Gumbleton (will have a break out 2010 - I hope) Neagle Hurley (2nd half of the season showed how good he was) Williams Daniher (was a foward as a junior) Still Hille/Ryder/Laycock (if he...

    Mark Williams

    As much as I wanted Lloyd to go on it was the right decision to make. He used to be able to break away from the full back on the lead but most of the time when he led for the ball the full back was right there with him... The hamstring injury just took the extra yard of pace he had. But...

    Brendan Fevola and the 'Ewing Theory'

    A good post. I was thinking about this after the trade... So many forward 50 entries were directed to Fev that to a degree it assisted defenders knowing where the ball was going to go so they can set up, sometimes double teaming and hopefully getting a quick clearance from a spoil. Now the...
