Re: Essendon

Fixed, and in furious agreement.

A 3rd rate Johannisen who plays with even less accountability is surely at the bottom of our wants list. That said, JJ's been appreciably better in that area as this season's progressed.

Much rather see Saad sending Melbourne or GWS fans to an early grave.

Prefer Vandemeer by a mile. Quicker and runs straight and delivers well, unlike Saad who tends to run around in circles and leave his own players up the field wondering when or where to lead to and then he gets caught or kicks to the opposition.

I'm in the NO to Saad camp.

Re: Essendon

Essendon linked to Daniel Talia. Why would they be interested in an almost 29 year old?

I don't want Saad because he doesn't fit an area of need for us at all but the assessments of him in this thread are bordering on the ridiculous. He's a decent player.

Gees Essendon are really in a world of their own. They should be chasing young Dunkley, will give you a lot more than Stringer.
Saads a good player but he is hard to lead to if your a forward and maybe it’s Essendons game plan that doesn’t help also.

Re: Essendon

If we want another pacy half-back flanker, let's just put Ed Richards there.

Re: Essendon

Is he just a spokesperson for the club now? He has this schtick going, Mr Sensible and calm but I can see right through him. You ain't foolin' no one Timbo! If he's addressed it there's something in it.

I don't know which one it is (my dear old mum watches C7 news and I occasionally wander past while it's on) but Tim quite obviously has massive contempt for one of the newsreaders. I see their cringeworthy attempts to buddy up sometimes. At the end of the sports report the newsreader will make some awkward small talk about football and Tim will glare back at him with a fixed grin. You can almost see Tm thinking "yeah shut the *!*!*!*! up you *!*!*!*!ing eejit"

He's a real Crazy Horse.

Re: Essendon

What I find absolutely laughable, and pathetic about Effingdon (aside from EVERYTHING ELSE).
Is their demand for a quick answer from Joe Daniher about his future plans.
HE F%$#@$%*ing told you LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!! And you IGNORED HIM.

They 'won' the trade period by not letting him go to Sydney. Now they're on their high horse telling Joe he needs to hurry up and give them an answer. AN ANSWER!!! ohhhh baby this is priceless. HA HA HA he he he Mwaaahaha What a pack of idiots.

Be interesting to see what they get for him compared to last years offer, let’s face it he only played so they could get something for him and only turned up for half a game then he was cooked the rest.
Let’s hope only one team wants him ala Stringer.
On that note I wonder when Stringers contract runs out and if he would get another ?

Re: Essendon

We could... but would that mean Bruce misses out? Naughton is a lock.

We don't know what English will be capable of after one more pre-season, although we do know he was semi-managed in the middle of this year by playing ~50% ruck time for a few rounds.
If we don't keep Trengove, we have nobody capable of taking ~80% ruck time if Timmy misses a game or needs a rest. To me that's a concern.

Back to Essendon - Laverde? Mid-sized forward who has shown promise but just never put it all together. If he 'clicks' he'd be a gun.

Tim appeared to be carrying an injury when he was being managed. I remembered at the time we weren't sure if he was going to play. He is up and about now.

Just read Carlton’s captain Cripps is into Merrett and Oliver to get to Carlton.

Lucky Carlton don't have a salary cap to be concerned with.

Probably have some spare for one with Kruezer going.

On another note I watched the front bar last night and even they were making Jokes on Stringers body shape.

Re: Essendon

If you watch the “we are Essington” compilations (c’mon, we all enjoy such simple pleasures) Merritt features prominently as a turnover king as does Saad. I can’t imagine people knocking down the door for them.
