[JT_the_Man]

1 before 3QT, three in the last 10 minutes

Didn’t Waterman do almost exactly the same thing against Carlton.

 

[Keystone agony]

You’d think if we don’t sign Martin soon another club will grab him.

Fremantle would be silly if they wernt considering

They have Bailey Rogers training on whos basiy the same player as Alec Waterman

 

[Petrify]

Biggest worry in this intra club for me is all our tall forwards being completely invisible. The Francis + Wright combo just doesnt seem to work, theyre always in each others space. Hopefully Jones will fix this.

 

[Lore]

Perhaps. I haven't been watching it closely enough, is he getting off the chain because he got a different match up with players retiring mid-game?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Not sure. From what I can tell he’s been mostly on the wing, which almost makes it more impressive.

 

[DynamiteDons]

I think we just got to use both spots on Martin and Tex. Both been solid today and over the pre season, don't worry about the mid season draft spot just yet, no doubt will get injuries and if AMT doesn't come back, can always use his spot for a selection in the mid season draft. I think both Martin and Tex offers good things going forward.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Yeah I'm thinking it has to be Martin and Wanganeen.

 

[andleanback]

Martin looks like he’ll win that battle.

4.

We have 2 spots, we could take both

 

[Deepthroat]

Bryan injured

How bad was it?

 

[Lore]

How bad was it?

I didn't see it, they just said he went off. It didn't sound like a big deal though.

 

[Ambrosia]

I’m sure a LTI will happen for us to gain access to the preseason draft so we should use both spots.

Martin should be a lock based on reports plus today and Tex looks a clear second. Number 11 looked very lively hope he plays in our VFL side.

 

[JT_the_Man]

We have 2 spots, we could take both

I’m for taking both Martin and Wanganeen.

Martin looks like he could play very early on.

Sam Conforti, was in our VFL side last year so I’d imagine he’s still with us.

If it’s too close to call you take both. WA clubs will circle straight away if we don’t take Martin. How they go against the dogs next week will be key.

I meant the tall who only played a half. Blonde headed guy.

Too many number 11s to keep track off!

Do we even have priority? They could sign him right now if they wanted. Although you’d think if there was interest for him from them he wouldn’t have come to Essendon to train

Don’t think they can just sign him if he isn’t training with the club and he’s training with us.

 

[Ambrosia]

Don’t think they can just sign him if he isn’t training with the club and he’s training with us.

Pretty confident the only requirement to be signed as an SSP is to have nominated for the most recent national draft or have been on an AFL list before. Nothing about having to be training with said team.

 

[Ati Tude]

I missed the game. Did we win? Please tell me we won. I can't handle another loss.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I missed the game. Did we win? Please tell me we won. I can't handle another loss.

Well the good news is we won.

The bad news is we also lost.

Take this information and interpret it as you wish.

I don’t think you can take a player that’s currently training at another club.

 

[Ambrosia]

I don’t think you can take a player that’s currently training at another club.

I’m confident you’re wrong.

I remember Richmond being forced to sign Stack earlier then they wanted because opposition clubs had offered to sign him.

 

[Mikevk123]

Sign them both we need depth up forward.
