    Don't care, as long as it's a player then consider me pre-ordered. Breaking a long term strong club in such little time must be a fascinating tale.

    Yes, yes that makes a lot more sense!

    Re: Other club trade talk

    Am I missing something with Ed Langdon? I know he has an elite tank and can run all day but he is a terrible decision maker and has poor disposal from what I've seen of him. Melbourne already butcher the football and they bring in 2 more suspect kicks in Langdon and Tomlinson

    No, that's him. I'm so happy he picked them. Saved from ourselves on this one.

    Gee wiz, this media campaign by the Bombers to pressure Daniher into staying is unseemly.
    I just saw a very funny tweet that said, Joe blink twice if you need help!

    Dodo you're a dodo
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    "Sydney is now sensing that the trade could fall over, which Bombers list manager Adrian Dodoro would view as a big win."

    I believe this is called Controlling the Narrative Before it Controls You.

    Re: Other club trade talk

    He might have also asked for the Harbour bridge
    I guess his approach resonates with many of the Essendon supporters and obviously the club itself but I wonder if they miss out on some players because of they way they approach the trade period.

    We all want our team to get a good deals done that work in our favor but he seems to be vastly more difficult than he needs to be.

    Having said that, I saw him at one of the NAB cup games this year and he gave some invaluable advice and encouragement to a youngster who was injured at the time.

    Re: Other club trade talk

    Sydney want him but don't care enough to sell their soul to the Devil. They are realistic and understand that Joe has massive limitations and is not worth what Dodo is asking for. I can see Joe staying put for another year or two.

    Essendon just don’t get it
    Dodoro doesn’t get it
    No wonder they haven’t won a final in 5,516 days

    Oh I reckon Dodo gets it completely.

    They truly HAVE to win trade week because it's not as if they win anything else.
