Re: List Management 2015
Depending on where we finish we might be strapped for choice. The type of player suggested by aza is pretty much what all teams are after, and I agree it's the type of player we need to view as a priority.
It will be interesting to see how McLean develops and where Daniel fits in once he starts getting some games. I also think Hrovat and Dale from what I've seen can probably play that type of role as well. Though all of these guys need preseasons and continuity over the next three or so years.
I'm open to trading in an option to assist on the outside. Realistically, any player we draft this year and next isn't going to be having a genuine impact until the final years of the decade, and I think we might be ready for a surge up the ladder and some serious finals football prior to that. Trading someone in might be the better option, though it all depends on who's available and when over the next two post seasons.

I would love to have someone like Dangerfield giving us a mature body in the midfield. Even Libba is only 22, so we lack that real mature body.

Mature body and pace to burn. He'd be absolutely perfect.

A Dangerfield & Talia combo this year from the Crows... That would burn them like '97 burns us.
Accordingly, I'm all for it.

Not even close buddy.

Re: List Management 2015
Charlie Dixon reportedly offered $750,000 by a team who isn't us. So I can't imagine we are still in any race for him.
Unless Eade want Wilbur back!

Huge call to throw that money at him, aggressive big body but I just don't see him ever kicking 65 goals a year

He could be a solid forward and ruckman but I wonder how bad he wants it. Potentially a good player but could we really cough up an early draft pick and a lot of cash again?

Thoughts?
I agree 100% and said as much on the Alex Rance thread. What we need is some real silk and pace in the midfield. Basically a Cooney / Griffyne type. Although I'd settle for Jack Martin.

65 goals and real forward target! Worth every bit of 750k!
Of course we would never throw big money at a big man who has potential but still hasn't lived up to it.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: List Management 2015
It's incredible to think their was a pitch fork and flame mentality last draft when we didn't pick up a key back!
Now we've got to many ....

Re: List Management 2015
FWIW Essendon forum members 'with sauces' say Carlisle is as good as gone.
So its just a question of which club picks him up.

Re: List Management 2015
Is Carlisle an unrestricted free agent or would we have to trade for him?

He's not old enough to be a free agent - a trade would be required.

I don't particularly see the potential with Dixon and I was saying it's a big call for whichever club is throwing the coin, not us
