Feel free to add/subtract your choices.

I'm sure your captain should be in that list...

Agreed, but sometimes I think I'm the only Bomber fan left, who still appreciates Hird. Have I missed something?

The only people I'd put on that list are

JJ
Lloyd
Hird
Fletcher

Peverill possibly, Rama close, but not absolutely untouchable, and a few others in that boat.

I know Hird gets injured, but he's really not one you could get rid of. How would you justify it? He's awesome when he's playing, and he's devoted, his foot injuries were 3 years ago, and as for his face injury... it could have happened to anyone. So as he is at the moment, I'd say he's pretty much untouchable. If he's not, he should be.

Not just the foot injuries. Groin, broken finger, knee troubles, etc. I love the guy as much as any Essendon supporter, but let's face it his career is nearly over. I would certainly consider a Reiwoldt-Hird trade. The team is bigger than one player and you have to look to the future.

Nah I'm with ya ellie, I still appreciate him. I would never, ever consider trading him. Of course it's not up to me, but I don't think the Essendon board would contemplate it either.
 
I think Hird should be in our untouchables, I know theres not much sentiment left in football these days but it would be a travesty if Hird ever played in a jumper other than ours.

Jacobs ? gotta do more,been ok,gotta do more.
He is currently ranked 3rd in the AFL for marks. Also ranked 5th at Essendon in disposals. Has held down our backline and kicked 5 goals while he's at it. Fair effort.
 
I reckon you guys, with respect, have missed the point a bit.

There should be NO untouchables.

Maybe that might assist with the current situation.

He is better with Solomon and Fletcher around him,was shown up by Tredrea, completely out of his depth, while his five goals were kicked in junk time,particularly the ones v port and the filth.

... end of discussion

yeah, fair call.

I think Jacobs is certainly tradeable. I think Peverill would not be traded as long as Sheeds is at the club, along with M.Johnson. However, I thought D.Hardwick would never be booted whilst Sheeds was there, so anything can happen in today's climate.

Just a view from outside the club.

Danny Jacobs, if not on our untouchables list, should be very very close to it. He is so reliable, always takes the tough marks, always finds a target. Been bloody good for us this year.

No one's untouchable - everyone has a price.

But here's what I think:

Hird
Lloyd (Carlton would love to get him)
JJ
Rama (Future Captain - forget Heff)
Fletcher
Peverill (how much did we miss him in the 2nd half of 2001?)

Danny Jacobs isn't far off this list.
 
Bolton - we couldn't get anyone to take him even if we wanted...:D

just kiddin bolts, you'll be a superstar one day...prove windy wrong, prove windy wrong!
