Drafting Table

[Auntie.Gerald]

I still have hopes Jessie will come good. Imagine him and Reid dominating our forward line!

I agree El Capitano

White is still worth persisting with

change takes time for late starters and look at Pykey !

White i would have stay for another 2 seasons !

All agree we need to give White as much time as he needs. So our only tradables are; Seaby, Meredith, TDL (sob..sob) & Moore. Malceski might be interesting, I love his work make no mistake, however, He is 28ish has missed at least three seasons of footy...how long until his next reco? Meredith, from what I remember, is a similar user of the ball so we don't loose that and, Malceski could hold value for Suns, Giants, Demons, Tigers, Bulldogs who need an old head to guide the pups. We could swap for a second round pick

We have Goodes, ROK, Jude, Ted, LRT, Shaw & Mattner at, or near, 30. From a forwards perspective we have Reid, Morton, Rohan, (Spangher/Walsh/Everitt seem to be fighting for the same spot), & Mc glynn to be the main players and running/defensive/crumbing roles by recent drafts whom we may have not yet seen that much of.

Once Ted and Rhyce move on our defence will be handed over to Grundy, Alex Johnson, Smith, Lockyer, Campbell Heath & Armstrong. Any names not mentioned are too new to trade.

So all in all we may not be very active this year trade wise.

I've given up hope on Jesse. I haven't seen a reserves game for a couple of months so I can't judge his recent performances - I just figure he's a pick 79 from a non-footy background who had the physical tools and showed promise but never really had the mongrel or developed a decent understanding of the game. I would doubt that anyone would trade for him and he'll be 25 at the start of next season without a recent AFL game under his belt. Maybe he'd get picked up at the end of the draft or the pre-season draft by someone but I think his chance has passed him... That said, happy to be proven wrong next year as I was a fan of his and his potential when he started with us....

Re: Drafting Table

AFL's first eunuch? How did you find out?

First?? Half the Saints side have no balls.

Scott Gumbleton has only been offered a year at Essendon. Sounds like they are not confident of his body standing up going into the future which means he would be too risky for us to go after. A bit like Spangs.

Have you seen him play? They don't call him Gumby for nothing.

On White....how long has he been on the list? He doesn't cut it on the forward line. When he has played in the 1's on the forward line he played the role of the "invisible forward". He's got no idea how to play forward and how long do you give him? He doesn't cut the mustard in the big time. He's not getting a game for goodness sake. Pyke has gone past him by a country mile. What if Mumford and Pyke went down; he would only be making up the numbers and certainly wouldn't be capable of filling their shoes and turning it on.
