some excellent and well thought out posts by btdg. The only things i would point out is that of Essendons midfielders only mcveigh and welsh will be past their prime in 3 years, you would think Watson, Winderlich and Stanton would be around the same level, (possibly winderlich improving if he...

Re: Hille? Is he gawn? wow, the tribunal shows their amazing inconsistency yet again.

Re: 2. Ricky Dyson The only person who even implied that was Kelvin, I just said he had a bad game and then justified why.

Re: 2. Ricky Dyson That's definitely true, as a sidenote though Selwood was in Geelongs top 3 players, so he didn't do too well in holding the other person out of the game either.

Re: 2. Ricky Dyson Disposal efficiency is one of the most flawed stats in football. A 60 metre bullet pass that get's dropped by an incompetent teammate is inefficient whilst a hospital handball or a behind kicked while alone in the goal square is efficient. He had a bad game, as a...

who/what are you referring to?

3 - Stanton 2 - Hooker 1 - Reimers Reimers was excellent, just didn't get it enough whenever he had the ball something happened and his tackling was also a standout. Gumbleton had a bad game but being his first match since his debut season that's to be expected. Though Neagle had those...

It takes all of 2 seconds to look it up if you don't have the mental capacity to remember things like Tayte Pears soundly beating Fevola. You should probably try it.

Fev kicked 4.7 in round three against Darcy Danhier and a mere 2.2 against tayte pears in round 13.

I'm confident his spot in the side will be unquestioned by the end of the year provided he remains injury free.

Neagle has had injuries the majority of his career.

No he won't take the best forward, unless of course Pears is injured.

Hurley showed more in one half than any key forward on Carlton's list has in their career. Lloyd and Lucas weren't really playing that well, with Velvet only kicking 15 goals in his last 9 games and Lucas really not doing much all season. I'm pretty sure Essendon will be fine.

I realise this isn't a serious thread but anyway http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?tid1=6&pid1=1645&tid2=20&pid2=302&type=A&fid1=O&fid2=O Jay Neagle Brendan Fevola 21yr 10mth Age Turned 21 in 2002 191cm...

Nice backpedal but the PP rule was the only one that stopped Essendon getting Selwood. You have no idea of what order Carlton rated Gumby/Hansen/Thorp/Boak/Leunberger/Selwood. I'm pretty sure they didn't change anything that would rule out Gibbs being a F/S anyway. He needed to play 200 games...

Being so wrong should really be a bannable offence. If you can't remember wikipedia is just a short click away. In the 2005 draft Murphy rejected the father son bid of brisbane and elected to go in the national draft and was then picked by Carlton. In the 2006 draft Gibbs was ruled...

Are you unaware that Waite averages 1 goal a game throughout his career? The same as Michael Hurley coincidentally.

nah, there's actually one player who has kicked 100 goals in a season still playing and he plays for hawthorn.

Reimers All the tools - Vision, Evasion, Awareness, footskills, marking and goalkicking. when/if he can consistently put them all together he will/could be Essendon's best player. Unfortunately he rarely seems to be abvle to do all of them in the same match.

Next to Hurley I'd rate Henderson the most likely of becoming at least a servicable CHF. I think considering what they would have been prepared to accept for Fevola, Carlton have done very well.

Seems a win/win at this stage. Watch the same people who are saying St. Kilda made a massive blunder spruik him for AA about the middle of next year.

excellent call

Bump... Myers - wrong Ryder - 50/50 Lonergan - Very wrong Stants - 50/50 Gumby - Jinx Dempsey :thumbsu: Mcphee - alright on the whole a pretty crap effort by myself how'd everyone else go?

Dyson and Mcphee better than Lovett? I wouldn't think so

If I was a football writer I would write a controversial story about how I think this is an elaborate plan to not trade Fevola, Not make Greg Swann be shown to be a liar and to improve Carlton's image. imagine how many papers it would sell and alternatively could actually lead to Fev hopefully...

You have seriously warped morals if you think thats an issue but beating up someone isn't.

Re: Fevola betting This is the real reason he has been put up for trade. EVeryone 'knows' he will be at Carlton next year so punters will put heaps of money for Fev at Carlton only for the administration to pull a swifty and actually trade him whilst laughing all the way to the bank. THose...

Davey is a far 'smarter' footballer than prismall, has better vision, evasive skills and can run down any opponent. He is only 2 years old than Prismall and has just had a season better than any Prismall will have. If Essendon could do a straight swap between the two I'd be laughing all the way...

I'd swap prismall for davey in a heartbeat. Not even remote chance on Winders though.

There are no reports stating that it was definitely Michael "Jesus" Hurley who assaulted said cabbie.
