Think what you like Harry, but both names on there list of prospective players to contact. Why wouldn't you think Essendon wouldn't contact both boys. Both guns and one played AFL and the other was looked at some years ago now. They are looking for players from metro & country leagues to fill gaps.. Anyway enough said!!

only players Essendon can take are those that have been delisted the last 2 years = both out
on another note ex Kyabram/carlton player nick Holman might get contacted
Was told pre-Christmas Euroa were struggling for dollars and were culling a few as couldn't afford them.
Did they get on Hayes/ Dabernig "good thing" and change their fiscal position?
Who they getting allegedly?

Fair point but I believe there is a clause that allows Essendon to pursue players who have been in AFL system outside that 2 year period on a case to case basis. That said, they have stated they want experienced players straight out of the system (Kelly, Stokes, Dwyer might be obvious ones) so don't believe Sam Sheldon will win a prize.
Someone on here was suggesting Tom was having another crack at an NFL punting career ...

Clearly got enough money to include Tarrant as a fly in player this year.

Yeah silver tounge ky will be without tom Sheldon due to having another crack at punting. But I imagine lachie smith will move into his role pretty comfably.

Word on the street suggests 2008 premiership player Scott Hann is returning to Rochy from WA. With Jared Bacon, Sean Williams and Hamish Hoopell already locked in Rochy are quietly building.

Yeah he did mate. Reconstructed. Gun player in my experience. Great vision and lightning hands. Hopefully my mail is correct and he can play a role through midfield and snag a few up forward.

Hope he's up to it. Ankle was rooted I heard, maybe a few yrs rest and it's on the mend.
Hooppell will give added height in the ruck. Hope the coach gives him time to work it out... Whitey didn't and he lost all confidence.
Sure to pull a good crowd what weekend is Round 1?

Hooppell won B&F at Lake Boga at full back. Suspect Gledhill might spend more time in the ruck.
Flaherty more interested in developing local talent than Whitey.
April 9 is round 1 but 2 games are going to be played April 2nd Mooroopna v Tat because of a clash with dates later in the year and Shep v United . Off memory
Can't wait.
As an aside, how many juniors (u/14, u/16, u/18) are we going to lose to the game this year through lack of match access, especially early when numbers are usually at the peak? A simple short term solution that could be enacted immediately is to allow players u/14 to u/18 to nominate a second club to which they can be registered. This would allow players that are missing out on a game to stay with their main team but still get a run. How many late developers are we losing from the sport because they are a little slow, small or ungainly and don't get a chance to develop because they can't get a run on the ground. Take it to your executive, the Hub etc and make it happen now before another season gets away.
Good points mate....need junior coaches to adopt rotations, provide opportunities for all kids, forget about winning and play all kids in different positions.IMO if a full forward in junior level is kicking 10-12 goals in a match then the system has failed.

Bring in under 14's and cap the amount of players any junior side can play during a year .

On the ball JM
Tat have done well to get a replacement of the calibre of Linc Wellington so quickly, but still the loss of Daniels will be big! Created a lot of excitement at tat and was set to have a big year as a player. Tat would be shattered with this at this stage of the year!
Is there any danger that the Shep News could get someone to update the website on a daily basis....only 6 days behind

Anyone on here involved with clubs? I'm after some suggestions for good team activities to do on a footy camp. Plenty of new recruits and want them to gel early. There will be plenty of running and ball work but it's always good to throw in something different to mix it up.
