Would love to have him certainly have the picks and trading commodities to make GWS happy compared to Freo but cant see it happening.
Agree. But nothing wrong with picking up the phone.

If nothing else I like that Woosha has straightened the joint up a bit already. Told the recruiting team his priority would be a key forward and they should get onto it.

Maybe we can turn the Carlisle situation into something.

Nobody nominates Essendon unless you're looking for a final pay check before retirement. No offence.

Essendon need to put the Hird recruiting behind them and head to the draft.

Hope for pick 5 and head to the draft with 4 + 5. Get yourselves Parish + Curnow/Weideman.

Essendon should be heading for the draft rebuild, IMO.

It makes sense simply from his comments about Cale heading down to the backline again. Which I'm pleased about.

It's interesting that the bombers are after him cause he is "the best available" yet he isn't actually available. If they Giants don't want to trade him to Freo cause he is "homesick" he won't be making his way the Essendon no matter how much they enquire.

Like Bunk said no harm in trying.

Just a phone call or two. Wouldn't mean much and I'm sure they're not the only club to do so.

I would assume if macarthy and bennell end up at freo.
Freo wont have any first rounders 2015 or 2016. And there is a possibility the second rounders will go also.

We probably dont need Carlisle,but nothing wrong with a "kingy" type 3 way swap.
Would imagine all clubs are currently working these scenarios out for the past 6 weeks.

Everything but a second round pick next year is definitely a possibility though, plus maybe losing a player (Weller seeming to be belle of the big footy ball atm).

Still if it brought in both McCarthy and Bennell it'd be an interesting risk to see play out.

Is McCarthy actually that good? It seem his contract status and Freo's desperation are jacking up his price significantly.

He's certainly far from a proven player.
Has shown as much potential as Jack Darling...

Not the one from last week, the good one...

Hope we can get involved, just what we need...

It isn't over until WADA say's its over.

Until then Essendons list planning and outlook is totally up n the air.
You really think an entire list is going get banned for 2 years for something that happened 3 years ago?

At worse they'll miss 3-4 games if they're found guilty.

I don't understand why Darling is involved here?

2nd Year Stats
Darling 11.1 disposals, 5.5 marks, 1.5 CM, 2.2 goals, 1.0 behinds, 0.3 GA, 2.4 I50, 2.8 tackles, 1.4 1%
McCarthy 9.0 disposals, 3.6 marks, 0.4 CM, 1.8 goals, 0.7 behinds, 0.4 GA, 2.0 I50, 1.2 tackles, 0.5 1%

They're pretty dissimilar but it's also largely irrelevant.

Not what is being discussed, which is that the unresolved WADA issues will impact your attractiveness as a destination for players open to trades.
