Yeah back end of 2012 Sipposs really killed it in that "quarter-back" role
agree 100%, shocked he got delisted, Biggs a better option though

Fringe player at 2 successful sides. one a premiership side. I'd be interested to know the list of "plenty" who are not on AFL lists who would be better options.

He was a 35-40 player in a premiership side and a fringe player in an average side, with limited ball winning ability and no tank. As midfielders I'd rather go for players like Polkinghorne, Coghlan, Rippon, Simpkin, Schroder, off the top of my head
Cale Morton?
I think he's back playing in Victoria.

Why would you write that?

Deserves his opportunity. Hopefully he gets a shot.

Because 35-40 is hardly "fringe". He played 2 games where he collected 15 disposals total. And that was a year before Sydney won the flag
Definitely one I would have here. Averaged 25 disposals in the VFL which is remarkable.

Why would you say he was 35-40. That is so far off the mark as to be entirely stupid.

A bloke who plays 2 games in 3 years at a club is 35-40 at best. If he were "fringe" he'd have played closer to 20 games over those years.

It might have been a long time since Essendon played finals but what you'll find is that sides that play finals (and are Premiers) are likely to have a lower turnover in their side for the year.
As it happens, Nipper was named emergency many times that year which often caused him to miss Reserves games. Which in turn made him unavailable the next week. He was most certainly on the fringe and wouldn't have been out of place in the Premiership side.

He didn't play a game for the entire year. Forgive me for saying so but a bloke who doesn't crack the side is hardly a fringe player.

If he's named in the emergencies more often than not then he's on the edge of selection.
Luke Miles made the St Kilda emergencies list about 20 times for 2 games across 09 & 10.
Didn't mean he was up to much though.

He played 38 games in the NEAFL in 2011/12. 20 in 2012. Not a fringe player.

From an ex Carlton point of view you could do much worse than Cachia, not sure how he played last year but always cracked in and is a goer, no world beater but big body to take some pain form the young ones

Listed as emergency at least 11 times in 2012. Travelled with the senior side at least 6 times. I know my side better than you do.
Give it up. Essendon will select him. And you'll be damn grateful.

So he can use his Short Kicks again
He's contracted to Norwood for this year

Hey,
Haven't seen if this has been clarified elsewhere, but
if the suspended 12 get paid & the Bombers get top up players,
how does their wage fit into the salary cap?
Doesn't this mean that the Dons will have to shell out even more money?
Surely that's another penalty to the club.

Played 0 games in the AFL in the senior side and was delisted at the end of the year.
Give it up. You're wrong and I'm right and he won't be picked up.
Means **** all. You think he'd rather play SANFL to AFL?
