Does anyone realise Rob Forster Knight is the one who has the main say on who we draft. Dodo is literally just the deal guy not the one who is finding the talent in the first place

Dodo is literally the General Manager of recruitment. He is RFK’s direct boss & so has direct input into each & every recruitment decision.

You wish you really knew don’t you.

You wish you could be absolutely 100% adamant that Dodoro in all his delegations, authorisations and powers, under a job description that you don’t have access to (and you won’t, no matter what’s publicly available), could qualitatively say that he’s responsible for every drafting and trading failure at Essendon up to date.

And Nikki Webster.

But you can’t. And it burns your nappy. And you and the snoozer brigade make for one big, loopy, fondue meltdown that’s just… just… joyous to watch.

Adrian wants your strawberry kisses. And you will give them to him. And you will feel the Italian tenderness and care flow through your person and out your tear ducts, and he will forgive you.

Because Jackets doesn’t forget the little people.

Maybe its time you got the help you need.

Can also free up a bit in the cap to give your man WEED that much deserved extension too!

Interesting you designate me as his man

We’ll if you aren’t his man then he truly has nobody left! You’ve been backing him when all others have packed it in.

[abracadraper]

every few games, redman just seems to just lose the plot

he tried to handball, directly through two geelong players, there was no space, 0

he then half ass goes to tackle the geelong player he just handballed to, it slips and they kick a goal

it was just one of those redman games from there

that and the stupid free kicks he gives away, that prevents him from being worth so much, but hopefully that will get better in time, seems more of a running off hb link up player as opposed to an in tight defender under constant pressure.

@abracadraper

, but hopefully that will get better in time,

Mason Redman is 26 in a few weeks and coming up to 100 games. Not sure he will get any better than he is now. He is a good player but no champion and is not elite.

[millagurnzie1]

Yep, if Adelaide are willing to pay enough to trigger a first round compo pick then let him go…or match it and trade for someone.

[Bomber93]

@AnnStBomber

Or maybe work closer to an early draft pick like Harley Reid

It’s laughable that some actually believe that we would have the currency to trade for pick 1.

Keep posting line this every 2 to 3 days, l am sure we will get the message in another couple of months.

@swoodley

Let’s be clear here…there’s just no realistic way that Essendon gets anywhere near drafting Harley Reid.

Parish, Redman and our first rounder?

[Kingston_Town]

@redbull

Parish, Redman and our first rounder?

Agree, it is not inconceivable, Parish or Redman, 2023 1st and 2024 1st would be a strong case to put to WCE

[Bomber93]

Do you actually believe either Parish or Redman would agree to join West Coast?

[Dasher]

I think so much depends on where we finish this year. If we make the 8 () then Parish or Redman leaving becomes problematic with compo.

However, if we do drop out, the ladder is so tight that we could conceivably get another top 6/7 pick. That would make things really interesting.

Again, not the end of the world if either left.

[James98]

They’ll probably be successful again before we are

[Bomber93]

100 percent that’ll be the case but I don’t think you can sell West Coast to any player right now, unless it’s a cooked 30 plus year old looking to top up the retirement fund

[Kingston_Town]

@Bomber93

Do you actually believe either Parish or Redman would agree to join West Coast?

Referring to their compensation.

[Bomber93]

Still think you need to top 5 pick to enter the conversation and then another top 10 to get them even remotely interested. A team like North would be able to accomodate them

[millagurnzie1]

Not sure about that…you lot a far to slow to pick it up within a couple of months.

[millagurnzie1]

They don’t need to…could get a 3rd club involved. Plus Redman and Parish aren’t in the right age bracket for West Coast.

[Captain_Jack]

Don’t make plans for 2024 Dylan Shiel.

It is unlikely; but, we have to take a shot. 2 top ten picks and a future 1st, is a very strong hand, and, as I understand it, the 3 kids WCE are interested in are all ranked in and around the top 10-15 (@THE_DON1 would know better than me). The problem could be Freo who will have an earlier selection as they could cherry pick the top WA kid.
As for North, why would anyone want to go there? I can see Wardlaw wanting out ASAP.

@millagurnzie1

But how are you getting your premium draft picks to get West Coast talking, picks outside the top 10 won’t interest them, you’re going to most likely need two top 5 picks to get them to the table.
