hayden skipworth

[bring it on]

now i have noticed that he is playing for the bendigo bombers.......... he is a gun player and should still be playin afl in my mind...
anyway the question is cause he plays for bendigo does that make it easier for essendon to pick him up
cause i would love to have him at essendon

I'm not sure whether Skipworth and Cloke are training with Essendon or Bendigo, but I think they atleast do some work with the Essendon guys. So in saying that, yes it does make it easier to get Skipworth in the PSD because having been around the boys for 1 year will make him more inclined to sign a contract before the PSD.

Wont happen......No room..we dont want to get rid of the kids we have...He was stiff to get delisted by adelaide but i highly doubt he will come to essendon..He would only hold someone like Bachar back which we dont want..He will go to Melbourne or something id say...He will play afl again..

disagree......... it will be good to get him... cause no doubt a couple will retire at the end of the year

Id rather give Cloke a go, than to persist with Bolts or Bradley.

I'd agree at this stage

with a bit of luck we delist bradely and bolton and pick up cloke and skipworth

 

[monty1104]

Cloke is a spud too. Leave him and just get Skipworth along with the best young midfielder available in the PSD (hopefully someone reasonable)

Well you can draw a line through Skippy. Went off on a stretcher after slipping over and getting squashed under a marking contest.Dislocated his knee and snapped his patellla tendon from the reports i heard
Bad luck for him

OUCH....... thats gotta hurt

 

[Skippy_14]

are you serious?

 

[ant555]

are you serious?

Well i saw it happen about 30 meters in front of me so yes i was serious.
Bad luck for him was looking forward to see him play this year.

 

[P.A.F.C]

That's pretty bad luck. I was a fan of skippy, even to the point where I thought us taking Rodan over him would be a mistake. Of course, now I don't believe that but he deserves to play AFL somewhere. Poor guy never put a foot wrong yet could never cement a AFL spot. Hopefully he recovers and someone takes him next year

 

[Jex]

Is he gone for the year?

 

[warney7]

When they say 'snapped the patella tendon' one could only assume it will be a very lengthy spell on the sidelines.

That is shit though, could be the end of his career even though he has clearly more talent than plenty of the current listed AFL players!
