  1. Bad Seed

    Grade your team's draft 2023

    Has it not been reported that West Coast had a F1 on the table for Geelong's pick with the intention of taking Caddy? He was clearly Essendon's priority, and so pick 31 was offered to make sure of it. Anyone thinking it's a fleecing with that context is delusional and clueless. Essendon's draft...

    Draft Watcher SMYTHE’s 2023 Draft

    Interesting effort. If Essendon passed on Caddy, Dodoro's life insurance premium would triple.

    News Xavier Duursma departs for Essendon

    With all due respect, you're massively underrating BZT. Yes if you look at goals against it might look bad - Hogan and Hawkins got a hold of him - but he was clearly undersized against those types and even Fletcher would have had 8 kicked on him when we got touched up by 21 goals against GWS. In...

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    Gresham is a $600K maybe $650K player at absolute tops. Best finish in a BnF is 6th. Didn't even finish in the top 10 this year and played every game. If Essendon wants to retain contract integrity in the list they shouldn't be paying more than that. What does $600-650K net for Saints? Band 3...

    Recommitted Dylan Shiel [OOC 2024; reports he may move? Dodoro says he is a 'required player']

    Guess who comes out of contract next year genius.

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    This theme that essendon needs his contract off our books is pure fantasy. We have millions in cap space available. MILLIONS. We aren't pushing Dylan Shiel out of our club. He is being pursued by another club. Fans may not like it, but the Saints hierarchy clearly see value in what Shiel can...

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    The notion that Gresham slots into every team's best 22 is laughable. Clearly the Saints don't want to pay him what's been offered on the open market. The only way he is staying is if they match.' Shiel is a far better player than Gresham. Granted he is older, but Saints are a better team...

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    All the boneheads in this thread need to understand one thing. This highly sought after pick 13 doesn't exist unless Essendon make it exist. This only happens because we offer a stupid contract to Gresham. We have absolutely no need to move Shiel on. Gresham is a free agent and will trigger...

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    This is the post of someone who actually has no ******* idea about Essendon. Shiel has been injured this year genius, and before that was clearly best 22 and playing very well. Cox has been injured for 2 years and just came back at the end of the season. He's not a gun but he's a kid...

    Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    It is absolutely delusional to think Shiel is worthless. He would walk into the Saints midfield and make that team stronger immediately. The scenario is simple. Essendon agree to pay Gresham the salary that nets Saints band 1 compo. Saints net pick 13. Essendon send Shiel to the Saints for...

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    Essendon offer 600K for 4 years. That spits out what, band 3 compo being a 2nd round pick? North fancifully want pick 3 if he leaves which won't happen and they choose to match and thus force a trade. Essendon then offer 3rd round pick that North reject. What happens next?

    Review Grade your team’s draft

    These kinds of snap judgements are the epitome of numbing ignorance. Completely ignoring that we've drafted Munkara as a medium forward who probably has more potential than almost anyone in the draft. Why did we need George as well. We've drafted the second highest ranked KPD for a pick in the...

    Rumour 2022 Draft Rumours

    No we need top 5 quality, not quantity. If Parish leaves via FA and we get a top 5-10 pick for him next year then we have even less need for those picks in the teens. You actually need to find someone who would want to do the trade and there is even less likelihood by the sounds of it that...

    Rumour 2022 Draft Rumours

    We need stars, not picks in the teens. History shows you need to be top 5-10 to get the stars, and then you might get lucky from then on. Hewett looks good, but clearly there is a reason he isn't considered in top echelon of players, which means he's far more speculative (granted all picks are...

    Rumour 2022 Draft Rumours

    A pick in the 30's is useless as it gets eaten up by the Davey bid that would be before it. It's a terrible deal and Essendon would be mad to take it.

    Review Winners and Losers of the Trade Period 2022

    Geelong were given the most extraordinary gift from GC and the AFL, it's impossible for them not to be the biggest winners. Losers are clearly every other team trying to close the gap to the reigning premier being given ridiculous handouts. I'm not saying that is Geelong's fault, they've just...

    Traded Sam Weideman [Traded with #54 and #72 to Essendon for #37]

    If they are good enough, they will play. But they are nothing more than speculative, whilst weed has actually played AFL footy and whilst not earth shattering, he has shown moments of genuine talent. Going into the season with Wright and Jones as the main options is just not enough cattle.

    U18 Champs Victoria Metro vs Victoria Country, Marvel Stadium, Thursday September 22 @ 12.35pm (Free Entry)

    No, he wasn't. In fact the only decent kick I saw was his hit up to Sheezel in the third quarter. Everything else was up and under with little penetration. Sure he can find the footy but he was a liability with it IMO. I hope Essendon aren't looking at him at pick 4

    What are the wraps on Tsatas? I don't see him as a top 10 talent based on today's showing. Very poor disposal and terrible defensive work rate. How is he touted as a top 5 pick?
