Not sure if I am blind. If Freeman isn't on the injury list where is he listed?

Re: 1996, 2003, 2008, 2016?

White Winmar - good to see some people on the site trying to put out some positive vibes. Let's hope we are able to attract some quality players, like we did when Blight came to the club. All you need is a few quality player and the rest of will lift around them.

Hope it isn't him. Pity this did not come out earlier to help with negotiations. Probably a disappointed essendon supporter.

Re: Best 22 by end of 2016

Does not look bad on paper for next year, agree about 3 more wins. If we get L.Weller, Midfield is looking even better for the future. Hope Freeman lives up to expectations. In the next few years we need to replace; Reiwoldt, Montagna,Fisher and Dempster, big shoes to fill.

Re: Is the Club Being Pig Headed?

Just because Essendon think he is worth 5 doesn't mean he is. As mentioned 6000-700K can be better used. We need midfielders. Once we have a good engine room the rest will come. He was a second round pick. We can't afford to pay overs at the moment. No bet regret! No loss if we don't get him. Would ...

Re: Is the Club Being Pig Headed?

As with most people on the forum i agree we are now being pigheaded it is essendon that is being pigheaded. Keep pick 5, we need good midfielders as our engine room is only a 3 cylinder alto at the moment needs to be a V8.

Re: Engine Rooms how does ours compare

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking the same that we need to reallv improve our engine room so giving up pick 5 for me is not an option. We need a good engine room to be a good side. I releaves pressure on your backs and are able to provide good supply to the forwards. Not saying we don't need g...

Re: Say Au Revoir to Pick 5

Most people agree Carlisle is not worth pick 5 of which I am one. The Adelaide scenarion sounds like an ok ok so we still keep a first round pick. The only propblem is in this draft 13 maybe suspect. If we get Parish with pick 5 I would he happier with that. We need midfielders, when you compare our...

We have to delist/retire 3 players. The ones I have put a question mark next to I would prefer to keep 1 more year but wanting to know people’s thoughts. Retire Hayes Maister Fisher?

Just thought people might be interested as I compiled the list for myself. I was surprised with the recruiting of 2007 better than I thought. I think what we recruited 2011 and 2012, seem like a reasonable bunch, given the compromised drafts. I am looking forward to the next 2 drafts and what talent...

Our recruiting from 2000 onwards. The year a player has been elevated from the rookie list is when I include them as recruited. I don’t include Rookies in the stats until they are elevated.

Draft Picks

The Sunday Herald Sun has us with the following picks 3,18,19,24,25. The Club site says we have 4 inside the top 25. 3,18,24,25. How did we get 19 was that also for Mac?
If this is the case we have achieved one of the major objectives 3 picks inside the top 20.

Re: Official Trade Rumours thread (all in here please)

It is not certain we will get pick 22 for Dal as a free agent. Don't think we will take the risk that we get a pick 30 something as Dal is worth more than that. North are not willing to give up pick 26, which I don't think is a fair deal anyway, even if North offer up a player. So therefore don't yo...
