We may need to pay overs for Carlisle. We're building a list and we need a good key defender. Obviously the plan is to get an elite midfielder via free agency next year. Not getting Carlisle could disrupt those plans. We need to move and move quickly if we want Carlisle. I think think we seriously n...

Hawthorn have offered Essendon picks 15 & 18 for Carlisle.

Believe he was 'integral' You'll believe anything Choco Williams, PHIL Walsh, Warren Tredrea and Kane/Chad Cornes were integral. As was Clarksom, Dunstall, franklin and Roughead (who were selected by Gary Buckenara) Both those clubs would have succeeded with or without Pelchen. His big weapon... Ge...

I'm a fan of the Pelican. Crawford said very early at hawthorn he put up in front of everyone what the premiership team would look like. It mirrors the infamous spreadsheet he has for us. He has a real vision of what the team will look like that will run out on Grand Final day and win and sets that...

I'll chuck one out from left field - Jack Newnes. He's coming into his prime with 70 games under his belt. He starting to get around the ground really well now and would suit a coach who likes getting a lot of numbers to the ball. We wouldn't want to lose him but we do have a bit of an overload of ...

I think we'll try and trade player(s) & picks for a first round pick. Trade that pick or 5 for Carlisle and keep the pick not used on Carlisle.

How delightful that would be! Getting Freeman off them and then stealing Treloar! That would certainly be suitable revenge for the theft of Luke Ball.

I remember all of that, the VFL were even promised a Train Station at the ground. I think the Government farked it all up for them. I also remember my old man often taking out me to Waverley for a look when it was being constructed. Fortunately they don't build Grounds like that anymore. The people...

Well done by Cain, even though he was Labor. Great win for the MCC. I just hope after 2035 when the MCG contract ends that the Grand Final will always be played at the MCG There are no other stadiums as big - you can't count Mike Fitzpatrick Stadium in Sydney as it's a dump. One thing I love about ...

Nice shot at Richo's character :roll: Nice rolling eyes :roll: Probably missing the mark though with your comment about character… Coaches wanting fringe players from their previous connections/clubs are generally a bad move IMO , but not always the case of course. Dennis-Lane & Maister have le...

You could be forgiven for assuming they're twins.

You are talking about the second most successful coach in our Club's history. You are forgetting the bumbling, overpaid Michael Nettlefold's role in his departure. So true. Thank you Michael Nettlefold for being so incompetent. At least now we have a coach who looks to the future and isn't so focus...

Tell Connors will take him.
But we want him for the same price as Luke Ball.

GOLD!

Oh yes, I reckon pick 30 is just the right price.

all clubs list changes to date ( Sept 22nd) http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-2015-retirements-and-delistings-who-has-left-your-club/story-fndv8t7m-1227498406719 Really disappointed we have only delisted 5 so far. That includes Schneids retiring. Market leaders have dumped 8. I want to see at le...

Surely Sipposs is a better prospect than Saad? I hope they rookie Sipposs & White.

And he just kicked a goal! Well done Sippa.

Just watching the Sandy final. Geez!, Sipposs has some sublime foot skills. His ability to hit a target, or put it to the advantage to a team mate over distance (50-60 metres) is fantastic. Something that doesn't grow on trees.

There is no way dunstan will be traded. If it is a player and it is the bombers my guess is Ross or hickey But like I said earlier Carlisle is out of contract, has requested a trade and has wada hanging over his head. We owe Essendon f-all so if they don't deal he can go to Carlton in the psd for n...

...why on earth are many writing off Templeton. Has he even played 10 games yet?

I rate Dalhaus, but Lonie is going to be better, a lot better.

I read yesterday that Carlisle is indeed facing WADA charges, so I'd stay clear. Unless the WADA matter is concluded by the pre season draft.

I think Nth Melb is the most likely to relocate to Tassie. The AFL should also hold their fire, because the Gold Coast's survival is far from assured. There simply is not a market for two teams in Qld.

The only problem being we may not see him play with us until 2018. I would assume that there will be strong due diligence. That should mean no interest unless we are sure that he's not in WADA's sights, because quite frankly those in the gun are quite likely stuffed. I don't think all the Essendon ...

Trading Pick 5 for Bennell is just a no brainer.
