SOS need only look at Round 23. I think Ed plays as a defensive forward next year. One thing you’ll always know you get from Ed is effort. He’ll set a defensive standard there.
Been asking him for months for some sort of plan/vision and who are his co-conspirators. He’s been underwhelming to this point and I expect that standard to plummet when it is announced.
I’d expect some sort of fluffy announcement tomorrow to try and kill off the noise around Vince’s EGM. Tomorrow I believe is the day the club has to set a date for it.
I agree with pretty much all you wrote, but watch this space. They’ve analysed Cerra as being a point of difference that could improve them further.
Remember also they were belting good teams without Viney for a fair chunk of the year too. Not to say Viney’s leaving.
Look it wasn’t the greatest trade of all time but you can’t win them all. We got our man who walks into our best 22 and is probably comfortably in our best 10.
On the flip side I believe the Fogarty trade will end up being a win. He’s capable of filling a few holes that we have and will be in...
There’s many options. It’s their job to get creative. Time to crack the whip. We can’t just hand over whatever because we believe he improves us. Developing from within improves us too. I’m willing to bet that pick 8 this year ends up being a considerably better player than Saad down the track.
Simple. Offer pick 8 to Geelong and Brisbane. First in best dressed gets the deal. If Essendon trump us with one of them, we deal to the other. There’s many ways to skin a cat, including trading for futures with another team. Make no mistake, if Austin trades 8 for Saad and anything that doesn’t...
If they’re he’ll bent on pick 7 as a straight swap then we say you use pick 6 in the National Draft. As we’ll just draft him with 7. Why the hell would we improve them by giving them a pick for him alone? If we’re missing out on a top kid and the net result is Saad, then we may as well draft him...
They will be asking for more. Hence why it won’t happen. They’ll be happy for a first rounder but want an experienced player from our better group also. They think they’re in the window, they want more than kids.
More likely that Melbourne have no interest in moving him from what I’m told. There’s been issues but they believe that it can be worked out. It’s going to take something not worth our while to make it happen.
You probably can’t even start a conversation with Melbourne without including one of the above I suspect as he’s contracted. Any how I have very few ins but one of the ones I do have is heavily linked to Melbourne. Oliver might want to leave but unless we’re willing to pay ridiculous overs, it’s...
What a brilliant citizen he’s been for you guys. Clubs are always poorer for losing guys like this but you can bet he’s left a legacy. His last act on the footy field will be the stuff of legend.
Difference being that Williams worked his way into the first team and wasn’t a walk up start like Crouch. Thanks for clarifying that he still has a better game per year average despite spending a good amount of time in the NEAFL
No one is offering band 1 terms. That’s pie in the sky stuff. He’s averaged 11 games a season for his career. Clubs aren’t that stupid. They’ll get end of first round.
