I don’t think you can take a player that’s currently training at another club.

I think Baldwin was training with GC when we signed him

 

[Duster]

I don’t think you can take a player that’s currently training at another club.

We tried to sign Anthony Scott as he was training with the Dogs last year. Clubs definitely can.

 

[Maxabillions]

Full time score and list of goal kickers;

Essendon with just too much class in the end but Essendon didn’t lose any fans with what was a valiant effort.

 

[TheGrizz]

Don’t think they can just sign him if he isn’t training with the club and he’s training with us.

Didn't we do that last year with Baldwin?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Martin is interesting. Don't really need his type but 7 goals in two intraclubs is very interesting. Probably have to take him after that.

 

[Ati Tude]

Is there any background/profile somewhere on him? Had heard the name before today but how tall is he, is he quick etc? Assume he is another Waterman type for some reason.

He is pretty much a slightly shorter version of Kyle Langford

He reminded me of Langford in all honesty.

Must admit part of my reasoning for this was that I thought he was Langford at first glance.

 

[a_gups]

Any chance the club (or someone here) will post up a replay of the intraclub? Got stuck in work meetings today so couldn't tune in

I assume they'll put up a replay at some point today. Check the Essendon youtube page or site later.

 

[YoboD]

He is pretty much a slightly shorter version of Kyle Langford

Sounds like he would be a handy backup in case Langford gets injured like last year.

I have a recollection they posted / replied on social media that there would be one

 

[Petrify]

Martin seemed to be much better below the knees than Langford but not as good overhead. Like a Langford that can rove well.

 

[andleanback]

Didn't we do that last year with Baldwin?

He wasn’t at another club though, because he was a while off proper training we him signed him knowing we’d be rehabbing him.

 

[TheGrizz]

He wasn’t at another club though, because he was a while off proper training we him signed him knowing we’d be rehabbing him.

Fairly sure he was locked and loaded to train with the Suns when we signed him.

 

[cobra land]

Sounds like he would be a handy backup in case Langford gets injured like last year.

The 1st half that I watched he seemed to have Heppell as an opponent, and being an intraclub hitout hepp wasn't too interested in the defensive side of the game.
I didn't see the 2nd half so can't comment but you would think that they will play him against the Bulldogs to get a better gauge.

 

[Milanista28]

Martin just knows how to kick goals, I think we have to sign him and Tex.

 

[andleanback]

Fairly sure he was locked and loaded to train with the Suns when we signed him.

Had be being signed there to start ssp? Nope. Hence us signing him before he actually started…

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I like Fejo. Probably need his type the most, he seems to do everything well, but just hasn't put together the required productivity.

If we don't pick him up I hope we sign him as a VFL player with an eye to sign him later on.

The Bombers worked through small forward options who could feature in the absence of Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti

worked hard and put on pressure as well as helping create in attack while Alec Waterman was another who is likely to feature in the forward line alongside the Bombers' talls.

Looks like my theory in planning Guelfi forward was correct. Hopefully he can play it well

 

[ant555]

Can report todays game was about setting the ground defensively and stopping as much free flow game as possible. Got to watch the first half on my phone and it was a bit scrappy but you could see how they where trying to narrow the field and work on stopping the switch of play.

If Tippa was there watching that's a good sign hopefully

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

I know it's early and it takes time to get good touch but 2 metre Peters hands were poor.
