i think thats right, hope they all get signed up, im pretty confident that they will be signed up, especially nash and most likely lee. also hoppe that rama is allowed to go on rookie list

 

[Shane Hird]

If thats true,3 years is too much.2 would be the limit for me.

He has got to get back to power form next year or he will be hugging trees in Bendigo for the rest of the year.

 

[Barts]

Few players at One bar on sat nite after the cox plate.

I yelled at Johns to sign a bloody contract already

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

Sounds right, I dont know why people are getting worried all those guys will resign we've pretty much planned for it.

 

[Longy413]

I'm pretty sure Bradley is contracted for next year.

I expect the other three will be announced with McPhee.

U should have told that yeti to put that blood- drink down,go home and watch around the clock DVDs of Nick ReVolt and learn how to be a HF line target

He does have to get back to power form next year, a great deal better than this season, I agree. But McPhee's worst form this year was easily in our best 22.

I think telling him to find a classier establishment might have been an even better idea.

McPhee is a big worry. A player who just blitzed the comp last year(or the year before?) and was going to be our new Super Utility,ie-Hird

and just looked so lost and confused this year.

Its all in his head.Hope he shakes the cloud and returns to dominate.

You're not wrong. Seemed to mistime a lot of his jumping at marks, that in 2004 he would have swallowed. Mentally he was a different player.

But he did have some good solid games that suggested, one that stands out was the 2nd game against Collingwood. He was very good.
2005 he was as good as ever before injury struck him down, and seemed to drain a lot of confidence out of him. It is one thing Hirdy never lost, the ability to have full confidence in his body no matter what injury he had previously had.
But I believe, and obviously so does the club, that with a full pre-season, practise matches and everything. McPhee, in the next three years (covering his absolute prime) can and will be as good, and better than he was in 2004.

He is the classic confidence player. Needs confidence,can't play with out it.

he is our a solution to our backline woes

 

[Duckworth]

I noticed on several occasions this year McPhee trying to force some 'flair' into his game. look away over the head handpasses and the like. I like him much better as a player doing the solid things and let the instinctive flair in his game return naturally. I hope that he can regain his confidence and become a gun again! and I'm glad we didn't loose him.

Thats right,he tried to boost his confidence with outlandish play that back fired on him and made him even less confident.


He needs a good holiday from his shocker of a season and maybe will come back a born again player. Heaps of 4-5 th year players have gone thru the same thing......heal b rite!! f-cking hope so..........

 

[Crave]

I think he might've been over compensating for his recent history of abdominal strains, much like when a player tentatively contests a loose ball after coming back from a knee reco. The hesitation to jump straight up sharply may be why his leaps were mistimed in contests. 07 will see him back to his best...I have no doubt about that

indeed.....terrible establishment, with his bad luck with injuries he'll probably slip on the invisible steps and break his hip again

 

[fairlight_cmi]

/Thread, One Bar sucks...

 

[topdon]

Good! Excellent footballer when in full flight. Hoping for an uninterrupted pre-season from him!

 

[danielcan]

Woohoo! Good on Adam. 2007 should be a better year.

 

[Darealrath]

Good news. Needs to prove he's worth the faith in him now and hopefully develop some more footy smarts to go with his great physical attributes.

McPhee signed and looking to the future
Tuesday, 31 October 2006

Essendon half-back and 2004 Crichton Medallist Adam McPhee has this afternoon signed a new three-year deal with the Bombers. "I'm really pleased it is now done and there was never any question of me leaving," McPhee said.

"I think we can be a much better side in 2007 provided we have some luck with injuries. We can be very competitive if we get our best side on the ground and I think we have a lot of young players that will have benefited from the game time they got last season.

"I am feeling good at the moment and hopefully I have now shaken the injury problems I have had the past couple of seasons. I want to work hard in the pre-season and get back to playing the type of football I did in
2004."

McPhee, 24, has played 79 games for Essendon since being traded by Fremantle at the end of the 2002 season.

McPhee is a Gun. Hope he takes control of our back line once again and unleashes his full talent in 07'.

 

[Storyboy]

I have to say that I am feeling pretty good about this. I am still surprised that it was resolved now though. I would have thought leaving it longer or sorting it out earlier would have been smarter. Still he is still with us, that's the important thing.

I guess Sheedy is wondering if he should have taken McPhee to Ireland instead of Fev when Reiwoldt went down with injury. Many people can't tell them apart anyway, and Fev wouldn't be facing assault charges. I can't quite wrap my head around where that young man is at.

 

[DaSawx]

He seems pretty pumped to bounce back, I think he'll have a good year

Fev's a nob. End of story! He doesnt remotely resemble anyone above a Grade 3 education, let alone an ambassador of the game...
