Of course we do, it’s whether the club actually has the pills to get it done.

I think there is a false narrative perpetuated in these boards about the no DH policy.
Firstly it was a McCartney comment not Bev
Secondly the main issue with players is not so much what they do off the field, their behaviour is only an issue if it is impacting the playing group, rightfully so.

Betting on games you're playing in is a pretty big deal. Afl swept it under the rug but it's 100% spot fixing at best.
But I'd still take him 100%

I think the major thing that stopped Stephenson this year was was the glandular fever he had in pre season which seen him lose 10kg and lots of conditioning.
While the gambling stuff was very stupid I'd say it was more an isolated incident, wouldn't exactly call him a dickhead. I did alot of dumb crap in my 20s aswell.
Gotta be 500-600 by the end of trade week

What are the issues people allude to? I know he had serious glandular fever which is the reason he’s struggled this year. Is it in reference to the betting incident?
Hearing that Dunkley is staying and we can expect an announcement of a contract extension soon...
Stay tuned

From memory, you were correct with Bruce last year. Hope this one makes 2 from 2.
There was an article a while back on how Stephenson is basically a non entity in matches outside of first quarters. The stats that backed it up were quite staggering if I recall correctly.
Don't know if it's conditioning, heart related or something else but we'd want to do our due diligence.
Really I'd be careful with any of the players Collingwood are trying to push considering some of the players they're keeping on their list.

Would much prefer Dale to Stephenson.Dale when fully fit is a huge talent and capable of doing some real damage. Way overs for a player who is fragile and needs to put on 10 kegs. Dale gets bagged for not being hard enough , but hey - let’s replace him with Stephenson, who has been relentlessly bagged for being soft.
Dale just needs a good pre season and an uninterrupted run. If we trade him we will see him thrive elsewhere and wonder why we let him go.
Maybe I rate him too highly - but he is the next Williams in my opinion - is capable of a major jump in performance

would take Stephenson in a heartbeat at the right price. Couldn't care less about the off-field issues. If we don't have faith we can give a clearly talented 21yo the environment to thrive then we've got bigger issues

Farrrk...that would be brilliant. Been getting smashed by Ess nuffies all week. Do you have anything on the rumour that Bretty Sutton will be taking over as Ess Club Doctor?

Typical Mods, no sense of humour. I'll just have to post a mountain of sh1t-stirring to get this new thread to 1,000 pages. Maybe Scrag can combine his erotic fiction with trade speculation? "Oh my, Essendon, what a big Dodo you have!" I'm not going to touch any big American Cox jokes though!

If Dunkley re-signs with the Dogs, we will be running at half capacity for a while until all our bans from the Essendon board expire....

Saw a great trade suggestion on the fox q&a. Was Dunkley to Essendon, Saad to Carlton and Kreuzer to the dogs. Maybe we could get Carlton to throw in Gibbs as well.
And Betts...the Adelaide version
Matthew Kreuzer, Andrew Carrazzo, Chris Judd and Cain Ackland yes pleaseSaw a great trade suggestion on the fox q&a. Was Dunkley to Essendon, Saad to Carlton and Kreuzer to the dogs. Maybe we could get Carlton to throw in Gibbs as well.
