Myers was taken the draft after David Armitage. He wins less contested ball than David Armitage.
Idiots want us to trade out Armitage, while others want us to trade in Myers.
Add the possibility of ASADA bans and the answer is NO.

Scott Watters, Dean Laidley and Chris Pelchen all want to go to Essendon.

It a legitimate rumour........ actually no
I made it up.

Do not rate David Myers and don't want him. Would rather draft picks..

I wouldn't be surprised if Joey plays better than Myers, and retires after him.

Neither If we are rebuilding... Why Get games into Tom Hickey if he's the one.... Accelerate his development.... Stanley too and don't keep Lewis from #1 at Sandy ATM Get a hack back up if needed.... Like a Rix and only use him if needed Temptation for the coach with Jolly... Would b to pick him......

In truth the recruitment department have been looking at all of these guys all year.
They will have it all mapped out, who they would take in what order. They will be crossing them off as the draft progresses.
Recent events and the draft combine will have made only minor differences.

What contract is TDL on? I'd have thought Savage will displace at least one of Milera and him in the pecking order.

Little point strategically, if you are lucky you get someone just as good after 3 years development.

Of course that's the case, but not a guarantee..... However If we compared our picks 21 onwards in recent drafts we have fared much better than early picks? It's an interesting fact... Siposs, Webster, Markworth, Stanley, Newnes, Steven, Gwilt, Fisher..... Our later picking has been relatively good...

Ben Brown missed the draft when he was younger due to injury. Now 21 and off the back of a successful season at Weribee he's expected to go in the last half of the draft. I'd rather go with a backup with an upside than an old spud who should be playing each week, but is stopping the development of H...

I don't know whats the obsession with getting rid of Dal for a 20ish pick? That's a terrible idea. Fisher for Bruce seems ok, and probably a trade of a pick/downgrade I guess, unless we put in another player? I saw on the news our Pick 23 will be exchanged for Hawthorns Pick 20, not sure what's tha...

I rate McEvoy, but I don't disagree with the trade. If the people who are paid to know rate Hickey there will be a point where there is no point having both on the list. It makes sense to trade him when he's at maximum value. We could get someone like Ben Brown ( VFL ) for depth to the Hickey, Stanl...

If I was Terry Milera, I'd be trying to make sure I was the guy already working out in the Gym when Pelchen gets in in the morning, and hoping that Trent Dennis Lane wasn't there before me.

If we keep getting players from other clubs we are more likely to continue to get ordinary players. delaney is 24 years of age and still hasnt made it. I want to have 3 ot 4 picks in the draft so they we may fluke a Sam Fisher and yes of course we could get a Howard but we arent going to improve ju...

Yes they wanted an idyllic system where all players can wander in and out of clubs. If you mean a system where all uncontracted players are free agents, no they didn't. They had their proposal on their website for years and it was entirely realistic. It was basically the same as what we got except ...

If we only get 22 for Dal when we could have had Delaney and 26ish then that will be a disgrace. Would much prefer to keep Dal than settle for 22. I reckon 22 is about Dal's worth, I'd take it in a heartbeat if it was guaranteed. ..it's not unfortunately.. .....only reason delaney hasn't played mor...

Interesting to see the phantom draft order change. We would be into Billings if it was to fall the way Twoomey says now. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-09/phantom-draft Interesting. IF we are into Billings , Twoomey has got it right. Its not a matter of "how it falls" its a matter of ...

I only added the "taxpayer funded" bit - the rest is in the article. It does sound a bit "basket-weaving grants" especially as she only saw her first game in 2011! I think I don't like conceptual artists. I prefer the term "bulls*** artist" which is closer to the bone....

In the end the AFLPA are like a union, and like a union they don't seem to understand the basics of supply and demand. The current FA wasn't the system the AFLPA were pushing for. They wanted a lower age, no restrictions and no compensation. I'm pretty confident that Luke Ball has a really solid un...

Myers is off the table. And I am glad for that...Any trade that involves a 2012 listed Essendon player coming to our club is fraught with danger. True, but I'd be happy if they signed a legal document stating that they hadn't been injected with anything at all during 2012. If they have been injecte...

Dal would be the difference in premiership contention and just a finals appearance IMO....he is the perfect fit at North and both sides know that....they have to give up something for a tilt at a flag. I feel impatient too, but it's a card game...the worst result is we keep Dal (not too bad), for t...

Dragit and Bergholt. If there is no middle of first round picks, explain how GWS have pick 9 then! GWS have a compensation pick for losing a player to a startup team. ( I assume that they got it as part of a trade deal ). It is a totally different system to the free agency system. It is not applica...

It seems the hearld sun are wrong and that it is a proposed straight swap, Delaney for Dal. To that I would say get stuffed. If the AFL refuse to guarantee us pick 22 then we should just take him off the table. If the AFL guarantee us a good FA pick then we should take that pick. LOL all we have to...

If we'd have won in 2009 I'd have been quite happy to have Steven King, Schneider and Farren Ray in the team. But I don't like the system. I don't like how the teams have to pay a minimum of the cap, and I think the average footballers are losing since they've now opened up a massive auction for a r...

I'm waiting for the club to get "aggressive".... As they said they would be all year. Seem to be giving away stars and going after second tier players. Talk is cheap, it's time we started delivering some real names. It's not over yet, but our hopes of possibly having a fast turn around lo...

The big question mark for me is Delaney. I rate Brown, Delaney and Bruce all pretty similarly at the moment, that is to say big, but not very good. Brown and Delaney are both 24 ( Dawson was 23 when we got him ) and even as talls should be starting to play some good footy. Bruce is 21 and a bit bigg...
