Welcome to Essendon Buddy Franklin.
Sack Dodoro, getting in early.
Not letting @Houli_Dooli get away with the fact that he has suggested a hypothetical Bont trade.
I really donāt see how we can improve from here.

Who is Tarryn Thomas?
I only know Tarryn TRINDALL.
Iām not sure a big money, long term deal for Ratagolea screams āwell thought out rebuildā. Iām wondering if some improved form in the back half of the year has Mitchell overestimating where they are at and then overplaying his hand, Essendon 2017 style.
People talk about the embarrassing ā ā ā ā Essendon has gotten up to in recent years (and rightfully so!) and forget how embarrassing for the Whoreks that coach Mitchell was on the phone calling every other club trying to flog off every guy on their list over 25
Iām not sure thatās what theyāll pay him, but if you have a heap of cap and you can front end a contract then get the player you need. Especially if youāre not using a heap of draft capital.
Hawthorn have shown themselves to be ruthless, something weāre not
Get good kids now before the draft is compromised further by Tassie joining.
Why didnāt Dodoro think of that?
Only bring in quality players, not jobbers.
Which is a completely realistic and achievable expectation.
Iām not quite on board with the whole Tarryn Thomas thing, but the best case scenario of him playing good football as a midfielder for us is very tempting.
With Stringer really not being able effectively play the role of explosive, X factor midfielder any more, it is potentially an opportunity. I can see why we might be interested.
Itās worth raising Stringer, as I think theyāre comparable situations.
We donāt have the established culture like Geelong or Sydney to get the best out of Thomas, just like we havenāt gotten the best out of Stringer
Itās a difficult one.
Love him as a player for us. Heās done some terrible stuff. Everyone deserves a second chance, but heās also one more āmishapā from never playing again.
Tis a tough one.
Thats why we donāt/wonāt pay too much for him.
Crows want BZT with Murray sidelined for next season.
Doodee would fit in our side well
