Not a huge amount of big-name free agents, but between that and the guys OOC there should be some ability to chase things.

Of the FA, Duggan may appeal to take Heps spot, of the uncontracted guys listed, Zac Bailey gets me up and about.

What, use a list spot on a 194cm, 95kg hard ball specialist with a big engine?

Please. I've moved on. I'm learning to embrace our outside flakes.

Apparently Vozzo and Davies got involved and sorted out the Port trade for Duursma/Zerk-Thatcher.

Cripps and Dodoro get on really well but Essendon don’t have a future 3rd and weren’t going to give up a future 2nd, so the big bosses stepped in to sort it out.

Per Tom Morris, SEN (straight after the Duursma interview, was just listening to it)

If he gets to us I would throw a bid at Ethan Read.

I would also have no problem with using one of our picks in the 30's on Mitchell Edwards or Will Green to fill out our ruck stocks.

asked around and looked up his stats, maybe he's just not very good

Doubt he gets past Melbourne as far as a bid is concerned

 

[Keystone agony]

Why? Didn’t you say above we have 35 spots taken of a possible 38 not including Snelling

Yes we have 35 (excl Snelling)

Meaning 9, 31, 35 are active picks for us

Baldwin muat be upgraded, hes included in that 35

But all big blokes who play in the midfield are good aren't they ?

was pick 73. Gems can come from anywhere.

Nick Larkey was pick 73. Gems can come from anywhere.

How many years of drafting does it take to find one Nick Larkey at the arse end of the draft?

Given current list sizes… too many

1 out of every 56 players picked after 70 will make AA in their career.

That's a lot of drafts.

How is it that dodoro is the one getting all the credit for dragging out the zerk Thatcher trade. The media just love to bash Essendon

Eh
You win nothing from being besties with an industry who's primary focus is a scoop over the game

There was a time when I thought you understood that in this context the effectiveness of the player in issue is a matter of putting complimentary pieces together.

But for all of your professing of your expertise, you will always toe a party line that indicates you don't actually get it.



Does the wink make it less passive aggressive?

bruno you suck

Those pieces actually have to be good though. Being big doesn’t make one good.

Looks like over 30 VFL games Long averaged 18 disposals, 4 marks, 6 tackles, and kicked 11 goals and was trialled fwd, mid, def. 5 AFL games. Seems a decent start for a young bloke yet to turn 21. Is he not worth a rookie spot?

I was joking hence I used
Seriously.
Read my post n the make up of our list thread .
I clearly stated we have tinkered around the edges and we still lack hard edge leaders and players who can win contested footy around the ground.
I get it . I just do not wind myself up over it .
It is what it is and no amount of yelling at the clouds can change it.
And I do not really rate Long . Average player.
Yes we need some list balance . Leaders. Marking types. Contested ball winners.
That is why I have said more like 5 years than three years if they can get it right which is no guarantee.

we should try and rookie Blake coleman. Kid has talent, behind a few on Brisbane’s list

Nick Larkey was pick 73. Gems can come from anywhere.

And Mitch Lewis was a couple of picks later
