This is so big.

I know he’s only one player, but this changes the entire defense.

McKay/Baldwin and Ridley back to his ideal position as an intercepting third.

You can call me big Kev cos I am indeed excited.

If we turn BZT into Wines while adding Gresham and McKay in for nothing, Essendon once again have given me hope during the off season for the 20th year in a row.

That would put Jesus to shame. Dreaming if we think that could happen.

It’s a long shot, but I think we will ask the question. If he is overlooked for captain, I think he might make the move.

 

[bombreys]

Why would we want Goldstein?

Because he’s good at football

 

[DeezNuts]

Sinn? Ollie with something going along with BZT?

Ollie could get the captaincy at Port next year, doubt they’d trade him

 

[doug85]

I reckon we should try for Sinn anyway.

 

[DeezNuts]

Not even close

Not our best but this is very misleading lol

Take out the last 3 games as a sub and he averaged 9.0, 3rd best in the side and he was played out of position for most of the year

[Godzke]

Given the Demons were so interested in Parish, curious if they'd be interested in Shiel.

Wonder if something like Shiel + 50% of his salary + Essendon's 2nd rounder would entice them to part with pick #5?

Maybe if we throw in some magic beans as a sweetener.

Not Ken Bruce? that reference might be showing my age.

 

[fishardansin]

Shiel would be perfect for Melbourne. He'd add some break away speed from the stoppage where they have some of the best contested players and they clearly don't care how the ball is delivered inside 50 so his weakness would not be a problem.

He’s gone completely mad

Been on shiel to dees all year
Would compliment each other perfectly.

Pick 5 wont happen though

 

[Keystone agony]

Pick 5 wont happen though

You sure?

Surely a 31 year old that has played half the games last few years is worth pick 5

 

[Milanista28]

We sure Hollands shouldn't be a target? 33 and 10 tackles in a GF. I didn't watch the game so I can't speak on his influence.

Definitely worth a look

Should be especially if were losing Shiel

 

[DERO]

Because he’s good at football

Yeah but he is older than dust!

 

[Milanista28]

I'd like to know what he'd cost, the Suns may have a higher asking price than people expect. Worth asking the question

 

[mike ross]

Tbh I agree but I reckon he's got a year or two left in him. Perfect for Draper and Bryan.

 

[Keystone agony]

Those top 10 picks who arent best 22 3-4 years on are very hard to tell

Plus its more what the suns need to move him on. Id say pick 16-18 gets them moving

I don't think they need to be trading him though

Hardwick should be saying give me 12 months to see what we have

Funny what happens when he’s actually played on ball. Gc are clueless. That’s the player he can be.
