Essendon dont really go after the big stars demanding lots of money.

However, why wouldnt we just develop what we have, an get Laycock going at CHF.
A hell of alot cheaper and we already have him, so we dont need to give up anything.

Would probably be good for us but he costs too much and you would have to give away too much to get him.

If we could get Hille down to the Wizard of Oz to pick him up a heart, we'd have a similar player anyway.

U don't want Hille, I am sure we can organise a trade!


:D

IIRC, we signed him fairly recently - but I probably wouldn't trade him anyway. He's got the talent and the body - just needs a heart and some aggro in him.

hille and browny should sit down and have a chat..
 
Of course we would want him in our team but no we will not go after him. He is too expensive to pay, although we have a bit of cash to spend this year it isnt that much.

Like someone else said, he would only hamper Laycocks development.

Does Essendon have anything of value that we would want in return, no they dont

No of course we don't, the likes of Lloyd, Hird, Solomon, Jason Johnson and McPhee wouldn't get a game at Richmond with Zantuck, Chaffey, Gasper and co in the team.

Ottens does not fit Essendon's structure at all - perhaps if Hille was our only ruckman I'd consider a trade. But with Allan staying and Laycock a working progress it would be a waste of time and money.
