    Forums never like the project KPP best available pick :p It's never sexy enough

    Nairn absolutely has the profile of someone who could do better at a higher level. With the running and height, could slot into that Dempsey role. Busting arse between goal squares, impacting in the air. Very important role these days and hard to make a show of that at junior levels when game...

    I like Nairn's traits as an AFL wing

    A future second for a single spot in the late teens? Surely not?

    The proposed North trade makes some strategic sense. If you want to strike while our defensive unit is still elite, then having an asset to trade for established players next year seems the better short term play. And on the 5+ year horizon of mining for elite talent, you're probably not that...

    Pretty hard to make it as an undersized marking forward these days. Feels like a wing or even half-back at AFL level to me.

    Xavier Taylor I really like. Back 7 is the Hawks strongest area but also the oldest. The end for defenders can come quickly and I don't know how much longer you have all of Impey, Barrass, Sicily, Hardwick playing elite football. But succession planning is probably a low priority. More likely...

    His highlights are great. Moves well in traffic, good mark. Second game at SANFL league level was very good, hopefully a sign he could make an earlier jump to the level. I'm starting to like the look of quite a few prospects in our hitting range. Cumming, Lindsay, Dovaston, Farrow...

    If we got the equivalent of Grain Miers with pick 10 in this draft we would be absolutely laughing. I don't think the history of those picks is as good as you are thinking.

    Anyone know the risks on Cumming? As simple as he didn't dominate U18s as much as other prospects have? Looks to move really well through the contest. I think Xavier Taylor looks great but unlikely to be at our pick. Dovaston looks pretty bankable. You'd take that in our part of the draft...

    A 30 year old in a rebuild turning down 3 firsts. For ego to take over that much is almost unbelievable. Even for Essendon.

    Now lost CJ, Worpel, Serong without additions. Going to need a lot of growth from within the list.

    Petroro texted Barrett that the Bombers can go get ****ed and leaked their offer on air. He's pissed and thinks they're a joke.

    How quickly can Essendon get a quorum for a board meeting? Everyone make sure their phones weren't on silent?

    Genuinely don't know how I'd be able to handle the situation if I was a bombers supporter. Would absolutely break you. Long term I think it's good for them.

    Cal now justifying it as 3 first round picks after discounting 22 before. Sounds done.

    Gold Coast with Trac is pretty scary. Could hardly get an inside touch as it is, now they have added close to the highest impact inside player in the comp.

    Twomey is so salty, this is great. Sour that Hawthorn made a late offer to not give Essendon time to do medicals. Sour that Hawthorn put a deadline on the first offer. Sour about the 80s and 04. Brilliant stuff.

    And funnily, 9 and 31 came from 2024 pick 14. 2024 pick 14, 2026 R1, CJ and Worpel compensation. If you want some rose coloured glasses.

    No matter what happens today, I will always have this. Zach is the only good thing to happen to that club in 20 years. I have an Essendon mate, I see a lot of their games. One of my favourite ever players outside of Hawthorn. And he has told his club that he doesn't believe in them. He thinks...

    Since the Lynch and Cogs moves, "missing" a player has been a blessing much more often than not. Even if the deal does fall through, I'm not stressing. Miss Ladhams, get Meek and Chol. Miss McKay and Rategolea, get Barrass and Battle. Etc

    It's such a funny strategy. Start by having senior players and officials slag him off, crying, making his return much harder. Then do an about face, almost have the board overthrown and deny any willingness to trade him. I thought the club was starting to turn it around the last couple...

    The article speculates 9, F1, Hustwaite and a future first from (roughly) a bottom 6 club. Beyond insane stuff. I doubt North will give away their future first like they are premiership favourites again.
