Please don't do me like that. I thought that was from today and was soooo disappointed. Then I wondered why they would report about Stringer and Redman's scuffle before it made sense.

I'm really excited to see what Saad can do. He's a great kick and can run both ways on the wing. He can also impact the scoreboard. Hopefully another mid-season/SSP success story.

I get your points and understand why you would have reservations. A club with Essendon's record will understandably be a bit more conservative. I'm just at the point where I can't be bothered with constantly hoping that somehow somewhere that player will be drafted by us. If he chooses us, then...

I'm all for it. We have Koby coming through as a safety net and the opportunity is just too hard to pass up. We have two first rounders and two second rounders next year. We possibly may have a first round compensation or end of first for Draper. That should be more than enough to make a deal...

Harley Reid will be one of the most expensive trades in AFL history. But it's also worth it because there's no gap on our list more than a potential superstar goal-kicking mid. A genuine marquee player. He was dominating our senior players as an underage player (not that it says much due to our...

I don't see any elite potential other than Caddy yet. Caddy is a tough match up, but is there anyone else that makes opposition coaches nervous to go up against? I see it with Daicos, JHF, Harley Reid, Warner, Darcy, Mac Andrew etc but don't see anything from our list at that level. Jobe Watson...

They fiiiiiinallllyyyy did it!!! Yeeees

FIIIIIINAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY :hearteyes:

I got it from Footywire in the ladder section. Selecting "period" gives you a quarter by quarter breakdown.

We were 13th with a record of 11-12 and a percentage of 90% in first halves. We were 10th with a record of 12-11 and a percentage of 96% in second halves. So we were perfectly mediocre. Quarter by quarter: Q1: 12-10-1 98.8% 7th Q2: 10-13 83.15% 15th Q3: 9-14 92.8% 14th Q4: 10-10-3 100.4% 9th...

The MEGA cult wanting Hird to 'Make Essendon Great Again' every second year. It was a funny running joke post saga but this is tiresome. Why are people so insistent that it must be Hird leading us to success? I don't think we can ever move on with Hird in football circles.

I'm not the biggest fan of Draper myself, but I think the Crows need to improve their ruck stocks so he doesn't have to be an elite ruckman to trigger a first round compensation pick. I don't see Battle as a KPD worth a first round compensation. Ben McKay also received first round compensation...

And I said we'll see. I'm just stating my opinion and you're stating yours, but we'll see how Draper performance next year and what Adelaide offer him.

I think he'll likely be paid enough for a band 1 unless he is injured. We'll see at the end of next year to see if he will or not.

He is a Free Agent. If Battle receives a first round compensation pick, Draper certainly will.

Also, if Essendon finish bottom four, Sam Draper is likely to leave to SA with Adelaide already mentioning they will chase him. That gives us another top 5 pick to use. Which means we could have three 2025 first rounders, two 2025 second rounders, a 2026 first + second and a 2027 first. If...

Dyson Sharp is reportedly an Essendon supporter. I'll always want us to win a premiership and win as many games as we can every year, buuuut if there's ever a year I won't be that mad at a spoon, it's next year. Tassie coming in. A stand out pick 1. Draper may leave to give us pick 1 and pick...

I don't think anyone is saying that Rosa will definitely build a competitive list. You're right to say it's too early to tell. Most are happy that Dodoro left because he just hasn't gotten the results after being given more than enough opportunities to get it right. We desperately needed a...

Dodoro had Jobe Watson who is still currently our best player since Hird. He also had Joe Daniher who under the current rules would have likely gone top 2. What more can a Vic list manager ask for? Many list managers would have turned that into a premiership and we couldn't even win a final. He...

He was my most exciting pick (not including Kako) because I see him partner well with Caddy. I've long said we've had an aerial issue in the side because we don't take enough contested marks. Especially inside 50. He is also very agile/mobile for his size and is a good kick on both sides. What...

It's not even a "big call". It's a down right ridiculous call with the information we have. Lalor was the number 1 pick for me. Chad Warner and Heeney have shown how valuable goal-kicking mids are in the modern game and that's exactly what Lalor is. Funnily enough, Lalor would have been...

Very happy with this selection! I wanted us to pick him up yesterday

Lock these criminals up. And of course the first thing Netanyahu says is "ANTISEMITISM" the dumb idiot. As if being an evil genocidal terrorist is not the reason why the arrest warrants were issued. It shouldn't stop there either. All the accessories to the war crimes need to be held to...

I really like this selection. Looks like a good partner to Caddy and very agile.

I like what we've done in the draft. Kako, a key forward that is incredibly mobile and a good contested mark to partner with Caddy, a quick HB with good skills to add to Roberts and El-Hawli and a speedy small forward. All of that and banked an F1 and an F2.

So Archer Day-Wicks hopefully.

Day-Wicks sounds great.

That sounds good. Any suggestions?

Plays nothing like Cox from what I see. He's far bigger.

Hard running, good skills, preferably a little taller to compete in the air. That's what I'd like the next 3 picks to look like.
