Football is a tough business though.

Is there anyone else that can play that small forward role on the Roos list than Turner & Nahas? If not maybee Nahas can keep his spot on the rookie list

Levi Greenwood wanting out, another player thuggery at it's finest and recruiting washed up hacks that are chasing money more than premiership glory.


Maybe not all is as it seems down at Arden St

Lol - Gwilt and Cooney say hi.

We are the number 1 team in the afl for retaining our players since FA and expansion. Nice try but maybe troll on the safety of Essendon only threads.

Levi Greenwood wanted out, a certain unnamed player looks likely to be delisted and you picked up guys who have spent more time on the sidelines than on the ground over there careers.

Whatever is in the drinking trough at Arden St, they should get it checked

Top 4 team - a couple of depth players. Worked for the Hawks. When you play in a prelim you become a player.

Could be worse - topping up after not winning a final in 10 years is a massive worry and really poor list miss management.

Ill be the optimist, you continue to be the pessimist



Yes, that is a glass half full!

I am optimistic - that if the taxi assault is a decent player we will use the Hurley clause and give them a slap on the wrist. If they are VFL level we will flick.

Poor list management is overpaying guys who can hardly get out on the park

What happens to North's offseason and how it is viewed if Greenwood's replacement is delisted after his criminal charges?

Heath Shaws replacement held on. I am sure Dumont will too.

Who plays more games? Waite and Higgins or Cooney and Gwilt??

I know who I would back!!

Adams was never charged for a crime as serious as Dumont's.
He is rightfully in the gun and will be sacked if the charges stick.

Shit post, really embarrassing.

Dumont's crime was far, far worse than Adams'.

Adams the midfielder was the replacement for Shaw the half back flanker?

Im glad your coming around that Cooney (and Gwilt to a lesser extent) will be better pick ups than Waitins..

I am backing the Roo players - want a 6 month sig bet?

2 against 1

Hardly fair when I have repeatedly said that Gwilt is merely a depth player.

He meant Williams guys.

Must suck to have so many on your list that you don't know which to choose from...

Anyway, you'd think North will play Ben Jacobs in that spot. Oh I cannot wait...Waite with no contract up for grabs and getting Swallow, Macmillan and Jacobs delivering it to him...stats of 1 handball, 3 frees against and 1 attempted kick coming up

Can't be any worse than carazzo, curnow and McLean. Hopefully it's NDS, Wells and Harvey forward of centre.

Also not getting the best backmen anymore, having a much better midfield to deliver it and being in a top 4 team will see him reach his potential. He can turn it on.

We've been waiting on that potential from Jarad Waite for ny on a decade.

Two fans walk into a bar in the Bay- oh no wait, this is DT&FA

Their list management strategy now has to be up the wazoo

Incident happened a fortnight ago. So it's clear they must've known something about it if this is what's making them hold the trigger.

It still doesn't excuse not doing any at all. This would have no influence on the rookies being delisted, or someone like Curran who would be going regardless, so there's really is no point in delaying the inevitable until weeks after every other club has, or to give those players and their agents as much a chance as possible to look for options come DFA time.

I haven't paid much attention to it, but was it known who did the deed a fortnight ago or has he only just come forward?

Not sure, thus the conjunction.
