Really?
Hurley, Merrett, Daniher, Heppell, Hooker, Zaka, Parish, McGrath, Goddard, Fantasia. Who out of those 10 is he better than?

Also Tippa, Kelly, Ambrose, TBC, Stewart & Gleeson you could also make cases for.

He's a much better player than Goddard is currently.

i worry about the impending cliff and Goddard.
He went from the safest boot in the team to a turnover merchant at critical points
Feel the sydney kick in has haunted him a little. Good opportunity for redemption

Goddard's first half of the season was the best footy he's played at Essendon.

Offensively yes, but he's been arguably our worst defensive player during his entire tenure (not that he's been alone in that regard *cough Zaharakis *cough Watson). Personally prefer someone less prolific who adds to team structure, pressure and transitions.
 
Would be gutted if he leaves...

Been pumping up his tires on the Essendon board for the last two years and finally he comes good and I won't even be able to gloat to all the people who wrote him off.
 
He would be a nice fit with the hawkers, maybe a swap with strats going to the bombers so he can play with his best bud joey
stop mooching off our youf!!!

Stratts isn't the type we'd need. We have Ambrose & Gleeson in the starting lineup and Ridley and Francis coming through who are quite similar in that role
We can ill afford losing McKenna as he's our only real running HBF option if McGrath moves into the middle (Redman is an option but not ready yet).
Given we pursued JJ and Pittard so we could shift McGrath into the middle, i can't see us not paying McKenna's demands.

Poster on the Carlton board knows him apparently, and mentioned it was a move north to Queensland... Fits with the above narrative.

I believe he posted it on the Bombers board, but got crucified for doing so.
That's not the story he told us, he said he'd heard from "someone" that Brisbane and North were chasing him. He never once so much as insinuated that he knows McKenna. Obviously hasn't gotten his story straight.
 
Brisbane keen apparently, they were also keen on Ciaran Byrne earlier in the year, they obviously have a type
We need speed and both these guys fit the bill, great pace and underrated foot skills. I think there'd be a few clubs keen on McKenna

Sorry Essendon but you don't hold any cards here.

Pick 1 PSD
Connor don't love Essendon
David Noble is a god
 
Why should we accept unders? if he leaves we should be aiming to get maximum value he's not some fringe 22 player he's an integral part of our back 6.
its a shit place to be in and i can see clubs wanting to stick the boot in on dodoro. though kind of surprised essendon don't really lose anyone they want to keep.

ryder yes but that was more the saga
carlisle i think the club were happy to see the back of
