Adam Cooney joins Essendon

[Halftimehero]

Believe it or not a couple years ago I wasn't a fan of Dodoro; but I now think he's bloody crafty.

He managed to bring in three young players last year that all look likely to have decent AFL careers despite missing our first two picks - effectively countering the first year of our draft sanctions.

Add to that this year we now have two picks inside the top 20, AND our list profile allowed us to top us with senior players - he's done a pretty good job.

Exactly, Zac Merrett is as good and more than likely better than all the players taken in the second half of the first round of that draft which is where our pick would have been.

IMO when you consider the total player, he's the best ruck in the league.

Ha.

 

[My North]

Brownlow Medal Adam Cooney

 

[Zerg]

He will be lucky to play more than 8 games.

 

[teknodeejay]

Why the cool face? He's been a bust.

 

[Vindicater]

He has been shocking apart from about 7-8 quarters.

Needs to go back to the twos.

 

[Zerg]

The answer is there if you open your other eye.

I'll admit he's been no Jones or Tutt but my reply had nothing to do with form of course.

Two spuds who should never have been picked up either.

Usually smugness should carry weight...

 

[ManOfClay]

He won't last three more years

Happy with this call so far, think he's nearly done

 

[Jack Bradley]

Very strange pick up by essendon - he's been bad. But not jarred waite bad

Cooney has been cooked for at least 2 - 3 years now, happy to get whatever we could for him.

Wonder what washed up hack the Bombers will target at the end of this season?

 

[NathanMX]

come on bombers, you are so close that your 17th flag, i suggest next season you recruit Adam Schneider, Rhyce Shaw, bring back Ted Richards and heck for good measure even lure Joel Corey out of retirement. Can't lose

Nathan Buckley

 

[bresker]

He can't run out games and is generally at his most effective in 5 min bursts at the start of quarters.

This has been evident for a number of years so why Essendon thought he would be a good get baffles me.

No 1 draft pick and excellent player in his day, just cruelled by a dodgy knee.

Though what's happened to Jobe Watson?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He's horrible.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

He's horrible.

yep, pretty much.

Hird needs to play the kids from here on in. A few have looked good this year, give them an extended run

Shame you boys did not play hardball a little more, could have got Carlisle for free

 

[STFU Donnie]

Adam Cooney joined Essendon?

When does he start playing?

 

[grouse mate]

Why would an Ess supporter bump this thread? Holy shit.

 

[STFU Donnie]

From what I've read of his posts, Zerg actually questions what happens at his club and expects people to answer for their decisions. In other words, a proper supporter.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I can understand a balanced approach, introduce them over a season rather than all at once.

But ffs Cooney should been the first to go. Shocking offensively and defensively.

He's not washed up but they are allegedly targeting Zac Smith.

 

[drviccles]

Not that much chop...

 

[Toddy86]

Wouldn't get a game at the dogs!
