Windy Hill flu

If we could jag a second round pick from the Saints for him that'd be a good result for all involved imo

His value has probably deteriorated to the point we'd be lucky to get a 3rd.

I'd be beyond shocked if he's at the club next season.

No chance. I feel like I’m one of the last Essendon fans to still rate him, but there is no way they’re giving us a second round pick. I’d take it and bolt if they offered a third.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Seem to recall saints baulked at a 2nd last year after he got injured just before trade period, theyd be even less likely to part with a 2nd this season.

Shiel and our second for their second might be more realistic.

the time to trade him was like 3 years ago. at this point, the hope should be that we somehow find a new role or something for him

Get him a bag and some grabber tongs and he can clean up the second oval.

He spent plenty of time on it pre season. He should know the lay out.

 

[Runk]

If there was a NBA styled mid season draft he'd be gone.

I believe the technical term is a pooper scooper

 

[justlookingaround]

I believe the technical term for this physique is ‘swole’

 

[Keystone agony]

Your better off keeping him now, assuming he wants to stay. Wouldnt be many teams that could guarantee him a best 22 spot right now outside of North Melbourne

Excellent depth and hopefully his training standards are still good

Im fine with a 1 year deal on like ~300k with no guarantees

Dylan’s face looks as ripped as his body

Maybe it’s the kids

I think he could get into the Saints midfield. He has a bit more speed than what they have.
Problem with us is he basically has Parish playing his role and Tsatas in waiting and then throw in Durham / Caldwell / Perkins / Hobbs. North would be one side I would say he would not go to. There midfield is fine and they are young.
He would probably go alright at the Pies. Geelong could squeeze a couple of season from him. Even the Tigers could use him for a bit .
From what you hear over here is most likely to go. His training has been spot on. He will just want to get somewhere that can use him in the midfield.

Essendon really should be doing it with Parish out. It’s such an obvious like for like swap. Feels personality based. Has no future so why bother integrate him

 

[Snake Charmer]

There isn’t even an NBA styled mid season draft in the NBA

 

[Vindicater]

Offer him to St Kilda for 53 (or wherever their third is) I reckon.

 

[Just A Tragic]

I think you should keep him if you can. Pick 53 won't give us what he can as midfield depth if he stays fit.
I agree he probably isn't best 22 right now. But as coverage, he is a senior body in a pretty young midfield mix outside Merritt and Parish.
I would understand him wanting to go, but for a third rounder, I wouldn't be pushing him out.

 

[eth-dog]

Honestly think we've done him dirty. Let him go wherever he wants.

yeah if he wasnt part of our plans shouldve let him go to Saints for a lower pick instead of holding out.

Nah, nothing I see from Scott seems personal re selection.

Shiel had a limited preseason and long layoff. He hasn't been killing it in the VFL and last game as a sub hardly touched it.

Needs another VFL game IMO.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him in for the Blues.

You don't think he might go if LDU were leaving?

Not really. They just picked another young midfielder with speed.
