Re: Orange Boots
Hopefully not. Let's hope he isn't home sick and can become a gun for the Bombers.

He will not leave, he is just finding his feet at Essendon
Looks like wishful thinking

Re: Orange Boots
The key word is speculation. So dont get your knickers in a knot.
Nobody answered my question (maybe to busy getting carried away with hypotheticals). Remeirs for McKinley, do you consider that fair ?
Personally, I think McKinley will do you well (not to say that your team doesnt need Reimers). Lucas & Lloyd are coming towards the end of their careers, so you need some full-forwards ...

Re: Orange Boots
Personally i think Reimers is superior to Mckinely, he is a game winner, cool under pressure and a rising star nominee, not to mention his pure character, Mckinely has done quite well but in a depleted forward line, would have to do a little better, maybe Masten of Ebert, maybe that is a bit much but i cant think of others in the categry! but no to Mckinely

Throw in your priority pick and we've got a deal. I rate Mckinley very highly indeed.

Re: Orange Boots
I like McKinley, I really do, but Reimers is probably worth more to us. Firstly if we traded Reimers we would probably need to find another outside mid to fill his place on the list and what are the chances we would be able to nab such a good player at pick 40 something again?
Secondly, Reimers is having a great year but not having had much game time in the past still probably has plenty of improvement in him, plus he has that certain element about him that some call x-factor, I just call it good reading of the game and creative football.
Thirdly, as someone said we have Gumby and Neagle to come through as forwards and both of them are well rated at the club so we are not really as troubled as you might think for forwards.
Would I do the deal, no. Not unless young Kyle had Judd Syndrome and wanted to leave no matter what.

Re: Orange Boots
Dad, some guys asking for Reimers and he'll give us McKinley in return.
DARRELL: tell him hes dreamin
but seriously NO
We don't need another forward. Especially if he isn't proven just yet. Reimers hasn't fully proven himself yet but he looks good and we need players of his type

Re: Orange Boots
I'm not sure Mckinley is the kind of player we're after at the moment -- Reimers is one of the reasons for our increasing form at the moment (an outside mid with real attacking flare, who finishes really well) so we would need either like for like, like an Ebert (I know he plays differently but still more outside then Masten) or a tall who can play down back (Full back, to be precise). McKinley doesn't seem to fit that role either.
We have Neagle, Gumbleton, Hooker, Daniher all as tall forward options for the future. I don't see a spot for McKinley, as promising as he has been for you guys.
Besides, Reimers has one of those qualities that are oh so rare: marketability. Kind of player that puts bums on seats -- people get excited to watch.

Thanks for your replies: B-Bomber, bombersno1, Enki and bombers1234.
If I was a Bombers fan I wouldnt want to give Reimers up either. He looks very good (so early on) and he is indeed a match-winner.
Nevertheless, if he did want to come home I would give alot to see him in Blue & Gold.
Cheers

Re: Orange Boots
Every year it comes up as specualtion from someone in the west that one of our WA boys want's to go home. So far Kepler Bradley is the only one to leave

Re: Orange Boots
I'd be worried if we only had one or two WA boys...but we've got about 10 and they have all come up together through the juniors so they would know each other pretty well - I'm certain that helps

Exactly, and probably the reason this won't happen. WC would have to give up a VERY GOOD youngster, and I am talking Mitch Brown sort of quality and frankly WC won't do it and neither will Essendon!
Where to now for Rama?
The article today.
The poor game today, and poor form for the last month.
I wonder if the end is Nigh for Rama.
We all love him, but I think this will definitely be his last year if his form does not change drastically.

Bit of an article on how Knights and him discussed his future, and decided he should go on another year. Think it was today.
