I’m seriously in shock. I want to know what Essendon have over the AFL. Something smells.....

Here is some footage of Gillon at AFL house cooking up the free agency compensation picks with his secret herbs and spices recipe. Special appearance from Bombers executives...

I'm a Polson & Plowman fan.

Think I got you as far as unpopular opinions go

I love Plowman!
1 out of 2 ain't bad.

 

[Kramer1]

Jack Russell's on leave.

EPs skinfolds must be through the roof...unsighted in two pre seasons.

 

[tragic]

Or Brisbane???

Essendon just benefited from QLD helping out the AFL in th Hub...we just never seem to be in the sweet spot when the AFL has an agenda to run

 

[Malifice]

LOL. JSOS has been here 5 seasons, Cuningham has been here 5 seasons, Dow has been here 3 seasons. Its hardly what Id call writing someone off " straight away "

JSOS AND Cunners have both shown a bit.

JSOS in particular was unlucky this year to have McGovern picked ahead of him as Jack offers more than the latter, and Cunners had a 28 disposal/ 8 mark/ 6 I50's BOG this year vs the Bombers.

Both need to cement themselves in the best 22 next year though.

As for Dow, he's 3 seasons in. Most players (even ones like Ablett, Danger etc) dont show much more than glimpses in their first 3-4 years at a club. He has his issues (he gets lost in transitional play, and cant get himself involved unless he's at the stoppage, and his disposal needs some work) but he also has some pretty good strengths (he's evasive and has a good first step through traffic, his hands are clean and he has some pace). He was certainly showing something in the reserves this year.

We write the young ones off way too soon around here.

any itk’s got any bluemours I’m craving one.. haven’t seen one in a few days now

 

[BluesTragic]

So Daniher on a lesser contract got a first, but Adelaide's pick will be pushed back?

Shocking. The Crows would be fuming.

The AFL are a disgrace....the lunatics are running the asylum

They seem to be missing in action.

JSOS would've played all games had he not been punched in the ribs. If we trade him we'll be sorry for it.

Casboult and Plowman, both for multiple seasons. Feels like pushing shift uphill sometimes

 

[BlueLocke]

Would trade our future second with a third rounder coming back for Jack Higgins (assuming there’s no mythical megalodon midfielder we’re chasing)

I agree with you. I thought he played well when he got time in the midfield.Always puts in the effort when given the chance.
Hope he's at the club next year.

You might, don't think Richmond would.

 

[TENACIOUS]

I dont think too highly of Dow or LOB either to be honest. And I'm not sure what information would change that. I think they're closer to being "mistakes" than they are to being game changers.

Don't understand the angst with these two, yes they both have major flaws that need to be addressed,
aggression, hunger, fitness, disposal (Dow) & belief...
Give them some time, leave them with the development coach we have depth now..

They have only been on the list for 3 years FFS, one of those years being COVID effected and in a hub...
Dow had no preseason and injuries, not sure about LOB..

2017 was an average draft with very few standouts, Cerra, Clarke & Coffield are the only ones you could argue that
could have been picked up instead of Dow.

In saying that I would have no hesitation trading them for an upgrade or Oliver, same with a lot of the other players on our list..

Think the other end of the scale. Salary dump, the highest pick, not the lowest.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Thought I saw J Nicholson and the chief there the other day

 

[reubs1066]

Really can't see how Dunstan would get a game in our best 22, even top 25.

Can only play one role - mid, mostly inside.

Ahead of him - Crippa, Ed, Williams, Walsh, Setters, Gibbons, Cuners, Dow, SPS and Fish.

Then there's Kennedy, JSOS, Philp, Kemp, Stocker.

Simply don't buy it.

It's an A grader or nothing (this year).

And I don't even advocate Menegola given it would limit our options next year.

Oliver, Wines, Kelly, arguably Treloar (at a heavily discounted price)....

Oh, the Bont and Sidebottom too nest year. And Lachie Hunter (would love to get him, not super exxy, accumulator that we lack, sublime ball user, bit of a steadying influence - on field anyway! )

 

[Stamos]

JSOS in particular was unlucky this year to have McGovern picked ahead of him

Good post, except for this bit. Jack was injured, didn't have Gov selected ahead of him.

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Highest pick the Bombers have so pick 6 for Webster, oh my.....

Plus the whole Treloar and Carlisle to Hawks thing as well, I understand the whole "Hawks being too proud for a rebuild" meme is partially based in fact, but no way they mortgage their future for those two...
