Dont we only have room for 4 players, as we kept Thomas and Murphy???

If so, we must use 3 picks in the national draft, and cant take 2 players in the PSD!

Someone explain please...
 
7 delistings/retirements (Alvey, Hunt, Bullen, Haynes, Zantuck, Allan, Cupido).
Two rookie promotions leaves 5 spots (Richards and Cole cancel each other out).
One of Thomas and Murphy to go, leaving 6 spots.

4 picks in the National Draft and 2 in the PSD.

And we must use 4 picks in the draft. Pick 51 was traded for and under AFL rules you must use traded picks.

It sounds as though Geelong are interested in Heff as well. If we leave him and Campo for the PSD and say we go for Campo pick 1, Geelong would probably then take Heff with their pick.

I reckon we pick up Heff with pick 1 in PSD and we'd probably still get Campo with pick 2. It should be remembered a lot of teams dont use their selections in the PSD so our 1st pick may be at 4 and second pick may be at 8 or 9.
 
:thumbsu: Not duds two polished finishes with expirience in the midfield. A real coup an opportunity to try and snatch a top 4 position next year.
 
I'd honestly rather get Steven Armstrong than Heffernan, is that an option?

We know what Heffernan can do, and hes 26, get in a younger bloke who we havent had before, try him out. Anybody's gotta be harder at the ball than Heff.

With a soft draw and additions of two polished midfielders, Campo (good for 20-25) possies a game and Heff (still only 26 and coming home), we could have a real go next year.

I would have said it was unlikely, but with Campo our 1st choice, Heff may well nominate for the National Draft, if Essendon request him to do so.

How can one club possibly leap from the bottom 4 one year, to top 4 the next ???
That logic is hard to fathom as is Essendon trying to recruit both Campo and Heffernan. Campo might have something to offer but I think Heffernan is over the hill by now.

Adelaide went from 8-14 to 3rd. 2006 we have the softest draw in the AFL, and with Hird, Lloyd, Lucas, Fletcher, McPhee, J.Johnson, M.Johnson, Stanton, Campo, Rioli, Lovett in one team, who knows what could happen.

Port did it from 2000 to 2001.
Fremantle went from 4th last in 2002 to 5th in 2003.
Melbourne went from 3rd last in 2003 to 5th in 2004.
Adelaide went from 5th last in 2004 to 1st in 2005.

(Home and Away ladder).

The logic is hard to fathom because you don't understand the concept of midfield depth. We have a weakness, we are trying to address it. Camporeale and Heffernan add depth.
 
could we delist murphy and thomous and then use pick 51 on heffernan, our first psd person on camporealy and our second on steven greene, and is it a possibility cos greene and heffernan are atm training with the dons
