Re: Kerr on the market. What about the part that I put in brackets didn't you understand or did you justmiss that primary school lesson about reading comprehension???:rolleyes:

Re: Kerr on the market. So why would Essendon trade a 20 year old gun for a 26 year old gun? Not gonna happen sorry guys. All of our good WA boys including Gumbleton, Jetta, Myers and Reimers have all signed new 2 year deals earlier in the year (Reimers in the last week) and are all...

His role is to provide run out of the backline, not to be a lock down defender. It's not his fault when the ball gets turned over down field and ends up going back over his head to his man. Our defenders need to get better at covering for each other- like Geelong do. He may well end up...

Spot on- great post. As I said in my last post, let Collingwood and Carlton pay over the odds, it will get them nowhere. Geelong went down the drafting good players route, and look at them now.

Should be who we pick, assuming he is available. Will complete our spine for the next decade. Our midfield, although poor yesterday, is coming along nicely and with plenty of depth. The fact that he can play forward will make our future spine- Neagle, Gumby, Ryder and Hurley extremely...

Why the hell would we put Monfries name out there? He has been one of our most improved players this year. Nash was one of our best players yesterday, unaccountable or not. People are so overreacting to yesterday's loss as per usual. Having 9 of your best 22 players out injured plus 4...

Leroy is 19 ffs. Hope you are not as brutal with your own players. By the way, Jetta recently signed a new 2 year contract, Myers a 1 year contract extension on top of his initial 2 year contract. Neither can be traded at the end of this year (Heffernan Rule). Gumby has also recently...

Hi, Sorry to invade your thread but Essendon's probable Round 1 forward line as I see it would go something like: FF: Davey Lloyd Laycock HF: McPhee Lucas Jetta How do you see the matchups going in your forward line? Is Gibson big enough to play on Lloyd...

Couldn't agree more!!!

B: Rama Michael Fletch HB: Nash Ryder Dempsey C: Houli Jobe Dyson HF: McPhee Lucas Jetta F: Davey Lloyd Laycock FOLL: Hille Stanton...

Re: Gibbs to go back home Sorry to interrupt your thread but which good players, apart from Gavin Wanganeen, has Essendon lost???

and your point is???

Essendon's 23 and Unders in a side: B: Slattery Pears Nash HB: Dempsey Ryder Myers C: Winderlich Watson Stanton HF: Jetta Gumbleton Hislop F: Davey Neagle Daniher R: Laycock Monfries Hocking INT...

Keep watching buddy. At least we actually bother to try and recruit kids- unlike Sydney.

Agree with this. Still don't understand how dropping Johns and Laycock can make our midfield more one paced when neither of them are midfielders though!

True, but when so called Essendon "supporters" come on here and make emotive statements like "he is crap...I hate him", surely they should back it up with some kind of evidence/reasons for their opinion. Otherwise, they should go and join the Richmond 'player bashing' board. Watch a bit...

Your point about Ryder and Fletcher may be valid, but since more often than not they will be playing in key positions against players their own height, the pace that they do have can only be an advantage to us can it not? Who is the 'extra' pace that you would have bought in?

Sensible post as usual. Campo deserves a go, totally agree with you about Slattery, think he will be a valuable member of our next finals side. Also, while I'm agreeing with you. Don't know if you remember or not, but I was one of the 'Welsh' doubters at the start of the season. In fact...

My Bad about Lloydy, he is obviously a tall, albeit a quicker one than Johns and Laycock. McVeigh, Cole, Stanton, McPhee, Ryder, Fletcher, Houli are not 'slow or worse' as you put it. Who is it that Brisbane have that will beat us with pace anyway? Besides, pace is one of the most...

Righto, I guess Slatts should just give it up right now then. And I'm not sure Slattery being a dud necessarily means that he is deserved of your hate. Perhaps directing it at the opposition might be a little more constructive.

Don't bother coming then.

How does dropping 2 talls and a small for 3 smalls make our side more one paced??? Winderlich, Lovett (if he plays) and Stanton will be more pace through the middle than Brisbane has anyway. Besides, who is it with pace that you would bring in? Dempsey, Jetta and Nash are all either injured...

Right, haven't posted for ages- but need to get a couple of things off my chest. First (and I know there is probably a thread about this somewhere else), but are other Essendon supporters noticing the two 'musicians' (I use that term loosely) on the bridge at Telstra Dome who rock up at...

will be a regular in our best 22 if he stays fit and healthy

Overall, an excellent, balanced post- one of the better ones I have read in this thread. On Essendon's backline though. All going well, it is likely to look something like this come round 1: B: Welsh Michael Slattery HB: McPhee Fletcher Lovett-Murray When...

Yep. Throw in Slattery as a possible defensive midfielder this year as well.

Still don't you think 'wishing an injury' on a player is a bit harsh, especially considering that that player is (whether you like it or not) our number 1 ruckman and in all likelihood our next captain. Also, if Laycock and Ryder are as good as we all hope they will be, they will find a spot in...

Proof please

One of the poorer pieces of reasoning I have seen on this sight- and that is saying a lot!:thumbsd: :thumbsd:
