End of Season - Trade Targets

[Doc26]

At the end of the day, if we can land a player like Crameri I'm happy to go down that path, but I'm quite comfortable sticking to the draft - particularly with our early selections and really trying to bring some high end, elite players to the club.

Noticed that Essendon FC have just tweeted:

Big news tomorrow with a star Bomber signing a new contract! Stay tuned to EFC.com.au

Will be interesting to read who it is.

Hird?

I watched that Ben Brown in a foxtel cup match earlier this year and he looked pretty good for a big fella, moved really well. From Tassie isn't he? Could be worth a rookie spot

Yeah he was no fire that match.

Is "star" some kind of peptide?

Built up as if it will be Bellchambers.

Ironic - Bellchambers has been dropped for this weekend.

Really wary of taking Essendon players until ASADA have completed a final report. Things look really ugly.

I'd be happy to put Crameri on the bench for a year if we could get him in the preseason draft.

More reluctant to give up a second rounder than I was to hedge against the uncertainty surrounding all this.

Surely a smart move by the AFL would be to let any Essendon player who want's out, out and give the recruiting club some security if the player ended up banned.
Possibly a relevant draft pick in the next draft.
Surely a club signing a player would have security written into the contract.

It was Melksham that re-signed, oh boy, so shattered we missed out on a star

Wow, Jake Melksham!

I was going to write an synopsis of his strenghts and weaknesses, but seriously he's just shit. A faux hard man in the Campbell Brown/Brad Scott mould.

I want to see Clay Smith lay him out.

You'd think at this stage no player would be banned.
Would have incurred an infraction notice by now, and I think Essendon's shoddy bookkeeping will save their players. There is no documented evidence which player took what.
We'll see I guess

No infraction notices will be issued until ASADA finalise their report - that could be months away.

That's one of the things I love about Clay, he doesn't go around hitting blokes in order to act like he's tough. He just goes so hard at the ball that the other player ends up hurt and coming off second best.

Just read on the internets that Nahas wants out from Richmond and the dogs are keen.
