plays for Essendon, but here we are

 

[Donflicted]

I'm not saying we wouldn't have. I'm saying it was unnecessary.

Ah well is what it is respect the zoro picture btw

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He's fine as an emergency back up.

 

[ant555]

Trains and prepares at 100% all the time. Will do his bit in the VFL if he has to. Costs nothing and is a bloke the others can keep learning from.

 

[eth-dog]

He's fine as an emergency back up.

But why do we need one? How many clubs have more than 2 capable AFL rucks on their list? Only ones I can see are Geelong, Freo and us.

 

[bombreys]

I sort of get it - and I like Goldy, so happy in a way he's staying on. I would be slightly annoyed in the seemingly likely situation of Goldy getting a list spot and Baldwin not, though.

Baldwin is still a chance to get a spot as a train on

With Lav going it is a possibility

Geelong, Freo and Us.

 

[Reximilian]

Would rather have kept Baldwin and/or Wanganeen given we have Draper, Bryan, Wright, Visentini and even Cox already.

 

[MightyDon]

 

[Vindicater]

Meh. Would have happily let him walk and roll with Bryan/Draper/Wright/Visintini

But if he helps them continue to develop and provides the VFL mids premier service then good on him.

 

[Agronomus]

Brad's bringing in his people. Hope he becomes an assistant

 

[windyhill]

Please watch and learn draper. And ****ing listen to him.

 

[Cold Sober]

Great news, NOW, keep Stringer and Baldwin and I'm happy.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Was instrumental in about 2-3 early season wins.

Without him we would have been bottom 4 and had a better draft hand.

Crazy the way this AFL world works as he's probably still in the 10 best rucks in the league.

 

[Zach Package]

Reckon he’s a prime candidate to play the first half of next year and then pull the pin for a mid season draft pick provided Bristle and Draper stay fit and continue to progress.

 

[Beerfish]

Just a smart move and great for everyone. Easy tick.
