Obviously has had an injury-riddled career, but he may be worth a go. Especially seeing as he hasn't received a show cause notice...

 

[Tigerbob]

What the?

 

[james Dean]

Hopefully he goes to you guys just for the lulz and Essendon fan meltdown

 

[harimal12]

Ok for VFL

 

[bananatigz]

Good player and would be best 22...for the year he has left. What's the point we aren't going to challenge next year?

 

[tugga]

oh ffs

 

[copthat]

If he nominates us can we tell him thanks but no thanks? Good player when on but the bloke did retire this year, says something about his body..

 

[FootyBuzz]

Good acquisition to get for depth, even by his own admission he finds it hard on his body week by week. Plus it will provide many laughs and meltdowns from Essendon fans.

 

[TheAnt]

Stop-gap while we can get a good small forward. Pacey, classy, difficult to match up on. He'll improve us next season if he can string together 15 games.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Winderlich is a jet when fit.
Has x-factor, something we have only with Dustin.
Would be a great addition to the list for a year.

Hey, if it's for peanuts, why not?

 

[Tiger Toffee]

I made my feelings known on the main board, petrol cans and matches are at the ready.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

This makes me sad if true

 

[tugga]

He's played one good season in his whole pathetic career. Will spew if he comes to us.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Where is the thread and news article linking us to Johnathon Brown ?

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

He's played one good season in his whole pathetic career. Will spew if he comes to us.

Tuggz, he had probably his best and most consistent seasons this year.
Could potentially get 2 quality years out of him.
He is just as good one on one inside 50 as Dustin Martin.
Can kick 3-4 goals a game.
Would be a good addition, trust me.

I agree, why do we have to suffer for their stuff up's, will be 30 in 2015, what would he possibly bring to our side.

 

[thetradesman]

Love this move!

If we can get 2 years while our other small forwards develop why not?

 

[Calcium Man]

For nothing then yes. Has pace and would do what everyone is whinging about Matt White doing at Port.

Expecting Essendon to demand Cotchin, Ellis and Pick 11 though.

Class and experience.

3/4 goals a game would make him an 80 goal a year player. Nope. Honestly, I think he's rubbish. Not saying it to get a rise. Plenty of Essneodn players I do rate, but he isn't one of them.

You speak the truth.

 

[TheAnt]

Fact is our attack isn't very potent. If we can add one more midfielder to keep Lids and Dusty forward for longer it becomes extremely dangerous and really difficult to match up on. Jack is no average KPF, Vickery is incredibly agile for a big man, Griffiths is a terrific contested mark, Martin is terrific one-on-one, Lids is incredibly classy around goals, Winderlich is just as good in a marking contest as he is on ground level, Titch is always dangerous...

Coz he takes a spot on the list we should be using on developing a player for the long term .

 

[_RT_]

My favourite part of that article is the bit about Kavanagh wanting to explore his options elsewhere, given the flog and his old man basically told everyone that he would only play for Essendon it's yet another bout of karma coming back their way.

What are you smoking? Can kick 3-4 goals a game? He kicked 3 goals or more once this season in 15 games.

Very average footballer. Injury prone and 30. No thanks.

He played off a half-back line for most of it..
