Robert Walls about Essendon's Drafting

[BrownPearHookers]

on Graham Cornes radio station early last year, Robert Walls was talking to Graham Cornes and said he thinks Essendon have recruited better then Carlton, By getting Ryder, Gumbleton, Hooker, Pears and Hurley which long term could see Essendon in a better position then Carlton. I was amazed because even he amited he was bias towards Carlton.
What are your thought on this?

really we have been pretty lucky getting a full spine of this quality, But for mine holds us in great stead for the future, Which I think we have just stepped into. Even luckier pulling off Bellchambers and now Heppell, in 2013 we get Daniher. Maybe the Stars Are Aligning.

You know it's glaringly obvious when even he can see it.

FMD if Daniher is half as good as some are suggesting we are going to bring some serious hurt in two or three years.

And you forgot Fletcher, he has at least eight or nine years left in him....

If we got gumbleton and myers picks right we would be looking at a pretty impressive list.

I fear that Gumby may never reach his full potential due to constant injuries which is a shame

I had some bozo Pies supporter telling me "surely if you had your time again you'd choose sidebottom over hurley". I laughed so loud!

Yeah I'd prefer a good servicable mid over a game winning CHF.

What an idiot.

Give him a break Whomb. This comment pails into insignificance when you consider the thread that he started at approx. the same time he made this post. The OP contained the line in 2009 we had an above average team that performed poorly. It is a bit disappointed to know that one of our supporters is a crack addict, although, having said that, everyone needs a time to support, addict or not!?!?!!!!???!?

 

[igknighter]

shut up whomb

yeah, shut up whomb.

 

[Kong]

Phone can get away with it because he's a friend.

Who are you?

 

[Phone]

i don't remember anything about being friends.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Walls just covering all bases.

 

[Phone]

i'm pretty sure walls loves judd and thinks the rest of the list is crap.

By ****ing up the 06 & 07 first round drafts it kept us down long enough to score very very well in 08, 09 and 10.....






I'm clutching at straws.

 

[SydneyBomber]

walls - stay the f__k off our bandwagon!

Myers will come good. He has areas to work on but he is improving. 1-2 more pre-seasons and he'll be gold!

Was relatively impressed with some of Gumbleton's games in '10 but I must admit I don't like his kicking and he's not great when the balls on the ground. May be harsh but his engine has been spoken of for some time and I just haven't seen anything above average yet. I still hold high hopes but as has been said ad nauseum, injuries are restricting his development.
