And saying you'll trade picks our first 2 picks (it would be picks 2 and 18 ;) ) for pick one is silly. Mojo still rates Gumbleton, Hansen and Gibbs as equal number 1 and we'd be the loser in that comical deal. :)

Well if Essendon would swear an oath to not take Gibbs at pick 1, then I'll reconsider my proposition. ;)

PS: I knew you'd be the first to reject that trade. :p

If Hansen is groomed to be specifically a chb, then he may not get the accolades that a chf would get - maybe Gibbs as an onballer would get the headlines as the better player. Interesting that mojo labelled Gibbs as more of a link player/winger.

There have been HUGE reports coming out of the dons that thye are going to use there number 1 pick of the best ruckman in the draft. So really that would open up Gibbs for us. But do we really want him?? There is no douting that he is the one of the best players in the draft. But i think that our mid is the best thing we have going for us, in terms of youth. And with murphy to be back stronger, better next yr and with ppl like Kade, and lukey finding there feet and playing decent football i think we should let him slip. There is no doubt in my mind that i would take Hansen, by all reports he is the best defender in the draft, and we REALLY need some young guns down back. I think with getting murph and Josh last yr i would love it if we got a 'young gun' spine and got Hansen


Hansen
Waite
Murphy
Kennedy
Fev


now thats a spine that the carlton faithful can get pumped about. :thumbsu:


Also in letting gibbs slip a pick to possible 3rd, that would push the draft back a few picks and get another quality player with out secong pick. maybe even a jetta?


What absolute CRAP!!!
 
We need defenders people - that is why we'll take Hansen with our first pick, even is we have the #1 pick.

Had Bower or Hartlett debuted and showed that they can hold down CHB for the next 8-10 years, then i'd probably have a different opinion. They haven't, and Hansen is just too good to let slip.
 
I don't know anything about the internal workings of Essendon but I think it'd be a 50/50 decision on whether to take Gibbs or Gumbleton. (Whichever one of Hansen, Gumby or Gibbs they pick they'll get it right anyway.)

Gibbs isn't a lock to go number one by any stretch of the imagination, despite the media's beat-up.

Pretty well summed up OZ. :thumbsu:

You are a total tosser. I cant believe you wrote that. Total loser. You may have sat in the stands mate but not any more, not if if they read this arrogan **** fest of a comment. Get over your self, you have just shown everyone what a fool you are.

Another name that may pop into Seedy's head is Thorp, the kid can play multiple positions, is big and skilled plus he is a Bumbers supporter from all reports. The romantic in Seedy could very well sway his decision.
But in saying that I personnelly think they'll take Gunbleton, guys of this calibre don't come along often and you need to jump on them when they do. Guys of this stature can make a difference between making a GF and winning a GF.
 
I have a feeling that they'll go more of a tall... Hirdy is going or will go next year... Llyod is becoming susceptable to injury... Lucas is not getting younger...

I feel they need more of a marking tallish player.

We could get Gibbs...

The only factor is that Gibbs is a good replacement for Beef-Ravioli.

A lot of good thoughts for reading there.

Whichever way the cards fall if we have 2nd pick, we should do really well.

I wouldn't worry about Gibbs going home, as I don't think either Crows or Power will finish down the bottom in next few years enabling them to get him in PSD.

I think Hansen at no.2 & either a ruckmen or 2 quality running players with good skills.

I also think we could do with a player like Collard as a crumbing/opportunist forward, as the jury is still out with Eddie Betts ( hope Eddie makes it, love the guy)

I would love to hear the discussions between Hughes & Pagan regarding who we take 1st pick

Total knob.

Mate there are some around here who not only party with afl players, but also international rock stars, actors, poticians etc. Some are related to them. Some are even related to prime ministers, governer generals and the rest. NO ONE talks about it like you do. You are the biggest loser of all time for these posts.

Sorry but you are the lowest.

There is no WAY you know a single AFL player past the pie man at the Dome. Get over yourself.

IMO pagan would say to hughes get us the best available player

whoever we pick is going to benefit us

I'm better than u....i will always be better than u. I move in higher society circles than u would ever dream off. I'm friends with TV people, football stars and members of the 'higher end' of melbounre. I belong there. u dont, u will never be where i am right now. And that kills u. Because i'm so much younger than u but have so much more going for me than u will EVER have.

get over it mate....green isn't ur colour :p




ps-- is there anything u want me to say to fev tonight.....i'm having dinner with him?? lolllll
