Geez Sharon, do any of your posts ever make sense? Try typing with fingers not knuckles.
Anyone notice the photo of Darcy Daniher in the family tree?
Looks an awful lot like a young Joe… (And nothing like Darcy)
Do the reasons why he is leaving really matter? He wants leave, the reasons don’t change that fact.
I agree,
Take the picks, wait twelve months and then chase Cameron or Ben king. No need to get desperate.

Joe must really badly want to leave Essendon - way more than a normal player would when requesting a trade. Can you imagine the pressure there is to stay? He must dislike it so much he’s willing to tarnish his family’s name. I don’t want a guy with that mindset taking the field for us next season.
“He could walk for nothing next year” “with his injury a first round pick and an early second round pick sound right”

I almost got through Jobe and Fletcher…for the Twins, but my wife thought everyone would assume they are Essendon names…and MIL kept saying she hated the name Fletcher when we were discussing potential names, cause of someone she knew who had a kid called fletcher.
So went with Jobe and Finn. And funny thing is when people ask about Jobes name, they think its Job from the bible, or Joe initially, so my wife now says like Jobe Watson the footballer lol.
When we were getting a list together for potential names I went through all the players names.
Agree 100%
Why doesn’t he walk for nothing next year then. See ya
Take whatever we can get for JD while he has value. He’s always had the potential but been way too inconsistent, good riddance.
I don’t mind Ricky Nixon. Yes he is a flog, but generally pretty balanced on his views and has some inside goss.
There’s a little chat around that the Sydney footy department and Sydney board are not exactly on the same wavelength re this trade period. Papley leaving was problematic enough, but chasing Joe is another layer to it altogether.
This could get interesting.

Well it might sound right to The Age, but they are not involved in trading as far as I know. I already know who wrote this piece without even clicking.
So you’re right he can Fark Off.

something definitely happened
I’m guessing Sydney.

That is very interesting. I wonder why they are not on the same page?
I’m surprisingly ok with it, not saying anything that hasn’t already been said… Hardly played for two years, can’t miss what you haven’t had… As infectious as his fun attitude was, he was basically a dumb footballer, messed around at the wrong times, and was increasingly frustrating for playing for frees.
Now watch him get a dozen frees against us in Sydney.
Hopefully two high draft picks and we turn them into a win rather than a loss
My initial feeling is this reflects far more badly on the club than Joe
The shitshow B&F seeing his best mate cut off from speaking may have been the straw that broke. He can see what a shambles and below average football club Essendon has become.
Will 100% boo him tho.

TBH the shitshow B&F may have been the icing on the cake. He can see what a shambles and below average football club Essendon has become.
Yeah I’m sure it was the BnF that pushed him over the line…
