    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    yeah i can understand that, freo supporters still talk about a shane parker kick out, which he did with 5 seconds left in the game when we were 5 points up against richmond, he kicked a 35m pinpoint pass to ben hollands, a guy who only ended up playing two games, who then put the goal through...

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    yeah i hope he improves, and that is an interesting point that you make about the boundary umpires, i never thought of that, but you could be right, heres hoping anyway

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    thanks yodellinhank, well there you go, i think knights will end up being right as i think bradeley will be best suited to the forwardline, and with the bombers you are definetly not short on forwards, with the obvious two being lloyd and lucas, and with gumbleton and neagal coming through he...

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    im not trying to spout crap, i was curious as to everyones opinion about it, i heard kevin sheedy asked about that, as to why he was played down back when clearly he was struggling, at the time he said that it was because essendon already had two key forwards in lucas and lloyd so he wasnt going...

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    you're not an english teacher by any chance are you? ;) being a bit precious if you're worrying about spelling on a footy chatroom i would have thought. hey, being a freo supporter means that sometimes you just have to accept the bad decisions made in the past and run with what you have at...

    Delisted Players You Would Consider Drafting

    and fitest :D it was kinda like watching something out of the WWE :thumbsu:, although thinking about it now, it would have been even better if we could exchange plugga with barry hall, then we really would have seen some fireworks..... yokings all round :)

    Delisted Players You Would Consider Drafting

    good value was oconnor, i remember that time sheeds played him on lockett when lockett moved to sydney. rhino was in his face something terrible right at the start of the game, letting lockett have it, they wrestled all day, lockett won out i think though, because if i remember rightly he ended...

    Delisted Players You Would Consider Drafting

    get some mongrel back into the side i say, any of the following would do: barry young paul barnard sean denham ryan o'connor convince them that coming out of retirement would be the best thing for essendon going forward, that is if freo havent spoken to them already :D

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    oh your funny :rolleyes:, i think you might be a little annoyed that the bombers could be the first team in the AFL to ever lose out on a deal with freo :D, not that im saying kepler will be a champion, just that you used pick 6 on him, we offered you pick 56 which was rejected, so we take him...

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    time will tell on this one, but i can understand why you guys got rid of him. truth be tols when we got him, i was not overly rapt as i used to bag him... but i think he has won most dockers supporters over with his efforts this year.

    Draft: Daniel Rich

    the only other three i can remember is maybe hodge judd and ball, although polak and sampi were both touted as top three propositions as well

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    i will agree that his decision making is not always the best, hence the reason why you would never have him as a backman, however as a backup ruckman come forward he played well, his kicking for goal was excellent and he never made any glaring errors that cost us games.... however obviously he...

    Draft: Daniel Rich

    i agree PM, if they are about the same in ability, then surely we would go with the home grown talent..... especially after losing warnock and carr to go back to other states. personally this is the first draft i can remember a top three that are so locked in.
  15. FootyEater

    Draft: Daniel Rich

    nup, would be staggered if this happened, the dockers have just lost warnock,because he wants to go home, josh carr because he wanted to go back to SA , and we have the opportunity to take the highest rated midfielder, clearly our biggest area of defficiency and he is from WA!!! i know the...

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    yeah but he hasnt being playing in defence, or the midfield, he has been playing as a forward, and has been fantastic, his pressure in the forward line has been second to none, and as i said he was top five in the B&F in 07 and would have been again this year if he didnt belt the paddlepop lion

    Draft: Daniel Rich

    there is a difference between the dockers fans rating hartlett higher than rich and the dockers recruiting staff rating hartlett higher than rich. rich will be at freo, as wce have stated that they need height

    Draft: Daniel Rich

    over here it is jjust taken for granted the WCE will take naitanui and Freo will take rich. thats the way it will be unless a massive shock happens

    Soloman & pick 52 for pick 42 & 47

    I think overall essendon will prove to have won the day on this one, but as yalls said.... solly has been sensational for us, and would have featured in our top 5 B&F again this year if he ahdnt of belted the suitcase out of ling. Bradley is an interesting one, did he ever play on the wing...

    Hayden Skipworth

    while your looking at skipworth maybe you should look at gettinng chris ladhams back :thumbsu: honestly though, essendon and freo are in similar positions in that we both are having massive cleanouts, and while you dont want to throw the younger guys to the wolves, you do have enough...

    Merged Trade/Delistings threads

    Re: Robert Warnock for Jason Laycock - Anyone Interested? I doubt warnie is going anywhere, but if he does i would say that richmond would be the team chasing the hardest, and freo would as for their first round pick, when that is rejected we will take their second and possibly their fourth...

    Small Defender

    he's young, the defensive side of things can be learnt

    Small Defender

    was he? well maybe you wont have to trade or draft anyone, maybe you already have your player, you just need to get the guy fit. roger hayden had heaps of soft tissue injuries at the start of his career too, hopefully dempsey can get his body together

    Small Defender

    you guys will probably shoot me down for suggesting this, but at freo Roger Hayden has been a revelation for us the last five years or so. and i think that courtney dempsey is of similar stature, would it be worth giving him a crack? just a thought

    Slattery is not an AFL standard player

    The player i would be putting in the gun first is nathan lovett murray, is this guy a dud or what? your middle tier players have let you down. on the positive, reimers looks a likely type, and it will be good when you get jetta, dempsey and gumbleton in the side. essendon have promise

    Rhys Palmer / David Myers Watch - Palmer Named in the side

    Hey, im a dockers supporter, you do not have to tell me how annoying it is when people give your team crap for drafting blunders :o. my money and i believe the smart money is on Rhys Palmer being a gun Midfielder, adn Myers becoming a gun running defender who can also be damaging in the...

    Rhys Palmer / David Myers Watch - Palmer Named in the side

    Rhys Palmer got that tattoo as a 17 year old as a present from his parents, the tattoo says such is life, the same as ben cousins, but he had it before that west coast disgrace had, so he isn i wouldnt think trying to copy him in that regards Secondly, Rhys being an out of control party boy is...

    Gumby hurts hamstring

    think your being a bit harsh bomber1, pavlich didnt do anything untill towards the end of his second year, and only started to really cause problems in his third year. now look at him. gumby will be a great asset, or alternatively you can trade him to freo :D

    Essendon secures Myers with pick six

    congrats/thankyou for taking myers, he will be a good player, but honestly i can not believe you let palmer come to us. and i am stoked. palmer is a hell of a lot better. but you should still get good service from myers.
