Rumours circulated at the end of last week that mckay failed a medical at essendon

Or was it an IQ test.... why would you consider playing there!

We knew Dyl has had a contract for months, but I don't recall Lewis having an offer.

I also love how he's going to stick with the team - love the Bloods loyalty.

I also thought the same thing re. recent events.

Maybe Melican found out it was a choice between North? and the Swans as North were the only club interested????
And he decided to take less money at the Swans
Horse has shown faith in him in the past. Time to have a few injury free years.

I popped on the web thinking something I said must have blown up the internet, only to see you have quoted me 4 times (cheers).

I understand that Sydney is more expensive place to live than Melbourne. But nothing you have said changes my opinion that cost of living is a very minor reason in why we seemingly fail to attract players.

If we do fail to attract players, it is much more to do with the reality we are a team from a non AFL city that produces very few home grown players and most players would rather play in their home city or for a big Victorian club if they have the choice.

And I choose to live in Melbourne because I grew up here and most of my family and friends are here. It has nothing to do with cost of living.

The fact that you keep referring to nick Stevens surely has to mean something. That happened 20 years ago.

And it didn’t help port Adelaide at all.

Let it go.

Has helped Port Adelaide retain players, it’s about setting a culture.

Travis Boak as the prime example when it could have been easier for him to go to Geelong, he stayed.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say they are now somewhat of a destination club, we can’t say the same for ourselves and have lost quality players over the last decade. All Australians, a Brownlow medalist and current club captains.

It’s ok, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I have stated mine and all I am calling out is as a club we need to get tougher and more creative with our negotiations with trades.

For whatever reason a majority of you are happy with the status quo, which is more bewildering for mine.

Happy to leave it at that.

nah ... he was being shown through the club, suddenly stopped and turned to his manager and said "wait, is this ... essendon? ... oh geez, i feel sick" ...

I'll say, I've moved from a cardboard box to a thatched roof and I can still barely afford it!

Tbf if I was asked to do a medical at Essendon I'd deliberately fail it too

I don't see the need given Amartey and McLean have re-signed. I don't think he'll play a game again, let alone find his 2022 form

 

[Olian]

Amartey struggles to string games together. So Reid may well be handy back up. Otherwise you are hoping Buller comes along.

I am hoping with Buller as I see some upside from Reid (age and injury profile mostly) or we go a bit smaller

All pending if we get a decent ruck in the off-season

 

[kelpie_X]

I for one still haven't given up on the first Pete Ladham.

I trust our club to get him there. Mummy was no saint either.

 

[momentbymoment]

I don't see the need given Amartey and McLean have re-signed. I don't think he'll play a game again, let alone find his 2022 form

If the wage is right it won’t matter.
He will be great depth at both ends and as a second ruck. At this stage, there is little point in not signing him.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I would offer the Dees Ladhams as steak knives in a trade for Grundy.

Am really more confident in MacAndrew. Needs more muscle but is miles ahead as a ruckman.

Dont mind the idea of a Soldo or Sweet type but am a big fan of Moyle.

 

[momentbymoment]

I don’t think the issue is about being a Saint or not. Mummy was no fool and played like a warrior. Pete not so much …

have the opposite view. Sam would spend another year on the banana lounge in the rehab sun lounge.

So, the "Go home" factor then.

 

[BloodySwan]

Reid's injury history doesn't fill me with confidence. He seems to either be injured or just getting back from injury. Very rarely is he fit

 

[Artygunner]

I am really hoping they put a pre-season into Buller as a KPD. See how he goes. Has all the attributes.

Has anyone suggesting Soldo as a viable option seen him play?

Do we really need to make all our forwards into defenders?

ATM on Dogs list & playing VFL.
Would be an option as he is looking to leave Dogs for opportunities at AFL level. Playing 2ndv fiddle to English would not be a good career move

 

[caesar88]

I'll be really happy if Melican stays, just want him to get his body right

 

[Wolftone]

I for one still haven't given up on the first Pete Ladham.

I am thinking the club may have though. He has spent more time out than in and when in after injury was incapable of rucking, which is why we traded him. I think they are probably slowly losing patience.
