Bice is now Fonti.

 

[Jiska]

Yeah I was one of them

You scored 8372 points this week - third highest score in the land. Who gives a ****?

ZReid may well be a keeper this season.

Nice write-up on him here

This Bomber has finally arrived and can supercharge club's stuttering build

Zach Reid has been spoken about like a mythical creature at Essendon for years. After years of false starts, he is finally healthy and showing why the club was prepared to be so patient with his development.

www.abc.net.au

He's probably a keeper, at least until Ridley returns.

I reckon I'll use him to get Butters/Bont though.

He could be $500k in rd 13 or 14.

Never seen the Eagles coach so animated. I wouldn't be surprised if he's banished Gross. He's probably on the 'never again' list alongside Hall now.

"YOU COST ME MY FIRST WIN YOU FLOG, YOU'RE GROSS, GROSS. YOU'LL NEVER PLAY AFL AGAIN YOU RATBAG"

Didn’t catch any of the eagles vs tigers.

What did Gross do?

Seen he scored well after being subbed on so I was feeing optimistic.

This is why you should watch games and not look at scores.

Is it the right time to cull Trainor, Lindsay?. Anyone able to share the BE and price rises (would be grateful), don't want to downgrade to other rookies who'll end up dead weight.

You didn't see the rundown tackle? That was the moment of the round.

Nah he did play well, came on and got amongst it, he was in everything.

Got the ball, running into 50, as soon as he got the ball he took a bounce and he got rundown tackled. Just a bit of inexperience, but defs showed a lot.

I'm just messing around because I despise their coach. I'd be shocked if Gross didn't play a full game.

I thought he was quite influential in helping the Eagles get close to winning. With the fresh legs, good spread and skills. Just unfortunate he got caught HTB twice.

Nah didn’t see the run down tackle.

Was out for Mother’s Day festivities and was just watching the score all day and couldn’t be bothered checking highlights.

Thanks for filling me in I’ll have to go watch the run down tackle.

Lindsay:
BE 36
will rise $11k with a score of 62

Trainor:
BE 36
will rise $8k with a score of 55

both are keeps, but if it gets you a premo and you got nobody else to trade out, no issue getting rid of them

tell Gross to go to goal with his back turned to the defender chasing him down?

Experienced player doing **** all to protect the player. Zero awareness

He's been a terrible pick-up. I understand you need experience to rebuild, but this bloke seems uninterested, there's no burning desire to improve and improve the blokes around him. He's reached the pinnacle twice, how much does he care in a poor side? Surely you lure players with elite mentalities, or if you can't do that, you focus on players with a chip on their shoulder, or that are desperate and hungry for success.

He's been pitiful. probably regrets going to WA. Will end up at Poort

Great run down tackle from Tom Brown what a game saving moment.

Actually not sure why Gross took a bounce so early he should’ve just accelerated through.

Kelli Underwood please tone it down

Yeah, was shocked seeing he's not even from WA. Yep you're right, wouldn't be surprised if he's playing WAFL next year, then request a trade to SA.

Yeah unreal, love a rundown tackle.

Just inexperience for the young fella. He'll learn.

Imagine he kicked the winning goal, he would have scored 80 or something ridiculous (from like 15 minutes of game time).

out of contract at the end of this year. Surely he'll end up at the Eagles? Could be the rookie of the season next year.

 

[mochacinolatte]

The thing annoyed me about this play is Reid/Graham not providing any blocks or sheppard. Pretty sure you get drilled this in the juniors. Reeks of, look at me Syndrome.

Would be surprised if he comes to Port. He was all but to join before we cut the cord to chase and lock in JHF

What do you expect when you look at the captain who does not want to be there.

Yep agree. They should trade Harley as well, he doesn't want to be there either.

 

[SC fish]

I know we said this last week and it didn't quite pan out, but there might be a few decent bubble boys next week.

Binns, Bews, Lorenz, Simpson, Sims, Day-Wicks hopefully a few are worth trading IN
