You'd think a whole lot.The big question is, what blame does Adrian Dodoro carry for this?

All of us ?? A bit harsh ..Wait.
So going to the draft to replenish young talls. To replace the aging talls. Is now the wrong thing. Because we should have gone to the draft. To replace Fantasia and Saad?
fu** me you Carlton supporters are morons.
Is that against site rules??Typical bogan reaction when you don't understand something, call someone a moron.
So are you saying that after not even a season of being the new sh*t show you’re already complaining. Remember we’re Carlton supporters and there is plenty of evidence of this occurring towards the blues for over 10 years. Take your turn. Everyone will get one.
Not very good, Will be a bonus if Mcgrath/Ridley continue to become very good AFL players and/or take the next step, If the defense can keep growing as well, Losing Saad really hurts and I dont think people fully Grasp how good he is
What else did they lose? Daniher won them a game (I know, I know) but he's hardly played in 2 years, Orazio was on good coin and under-performing as well.
They lost probably 1.2M dollars of players who contributed to sweet F all to the club. The loss of Bellchambers/Saad is much more brutal then two forwards who hardly played
It was his time of course, but can Draper stay on the park and develop? I know Bellchampers was looking pretty old but do you have faith in Draper making 20/22 games next year?Not Bellchambers he was trash. Couldn’t cover the ground at all. Draper is already better than him.

They have Phillips as back up.It was his time of course, but can Draper stay on the park and develop? I know Bellchampers was looking pretty old but do you have faith in Draper making 20/22 games next year?
TBC has been bad for 2 years now except a handful of games partly because he was injury prone.It was his time of course, but can Draper stay on the park and develop? I know Bellchampers was looking pretty old but do you have faith in Draper making 20/22 games next year?

Draper was managed last year because of the 4 and 5 day breaks. Not great coming back from an ACL.
There's no reason to doubt his ability to play all games.
Agree. I also have you as a top 4 chanceI think we're a top 4 chance.
Yeah that's fair enough, although I do think Mumford was a little too strong for him. I didn't watch the Melbourne game so I don't know how he did against Gawn either.While he didn’t have any dominant games I think he was the best ruck on the ground every game bar Stkila where the two pair beat him up and Nic Nat for like a dominant 5 mins then Draper pegged him back over the game to be pretty even.
So Essendon don't need a big bodied midfielder is what you're saying?
Their leadership group..... Lol
Ambrose is 29 and hasn’t played 100 career games
Hartley 26 games
Francis 35 games
Ridley 26 games
ZT 11 games
These guys are not ready to take over from Hooker and Hurley and lead either the defence or attack, another two or three years of experience and they would be up around the 70-100 games and ready to go. Ridley about the only one showing enough to suggest he belongs out there and will be reliable. Adding 4 more tall guys doesn’t fix the problem this season or next.
All of us ?? A bit harsh ..
The loss of Bellchambers
I'm saying Essendon need midfield class and leadership regardless of the size of the player.
Now 0 and 87 for contribution versus insults/snide comments ... wait, what?!?So more lazy commentary, as expected.
Young developing KPP's haven't played many games ahead of mature KPP's. Shocking.
Round and round we go.

Is that the secret to your username? Well, well, well.
Lol.. They could be opinions just like yours.So more lazy commentary, as expected.

Seems to be a pattern whenever these threads pop up, maybe 1:10 ratio of Carlton supporters making an appearance that aren't trolls?
Surely you jest? His time had well and truly come.
Phillips as backup isn't a star, but should be steady enough.
But if we'd drafted Phillips you'd be saying "lel y didn't Esdn draft a tall midfelda?"
It's the same lazy criticism as usual.
Phillips isn't the midfielder we needed, it was better he was off the table.
Having an opinion doesn't make a troll ,try again..
We'll maybe some of you bomber fans may need an Essendon posters only thread on ypur own board.Many of the posters popping up in this thread are obvious trolls, they've been popping up in any Essendon related thread for months now. The OP for example.
