A player who we made the assessment on at the right time. I wish we moved more on quicker like Morgan.

sj_2150 · October 25, 2018, 3:13am

Do Norf want McNeice?

Nocturnal · October 25, 2018, 3:14am

I’d have traded him happily if they did.

sj_2150 · October 25, 2018, 3:16am

maybe we give them another DFA special

on the house boys. something just for you

aboods · October 25, 2018, 3:43am

I’m pretty sure we would have kept him last year if he wanted to stay.
Fairly likely the result for him would have been the same at the end of this season

Mynott extends his rookie contract.

cul_de_sac · October 25, 2018, 4:41am

There’s nothing stopping you from paying over the base rookie wage. I’d be surprised if Baguley isn’t on something above the minimum

localbomber · October 25, 2018, 6:49am

Yeah. I said pay less. I didn’t say minimum wage.

cul_de_sac · October 25, 2018, 6:49am

His bargaining power would be the same no matter what part of the list he’s on

Ants · October 25, 2018, 12:38pm

Adjusted the OP for the news on Mynott.

aboods · October 26, 2018, 12:13am

I’m predicting a delisting today

Speedy_Gonzales · October 26, 2018, 12:15am

Dea-listing?

Eckers7 · October 26, 2018, 12:16am

Feels like we’ve been waiting so Long for the announcement

Bomb_Doe · October 26, 2018, 12:19am

it’s going to be a long day

The_New_Coleman · October 26, 2018, 1:03am

I get nervous every time I see this

benny-phone · October 26, 2018, 1:45am

Dea road is Long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

Goaloss · October 26, 2018, 3:50am

Dea Long and winding draft
That leads to your Dodoro
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that draft before
It always leads me here
Leads me to your door

The wild Rob Forster-Knight that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Keane left me standing here, let me know the way

Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried
And still they lead me back to the long and winding draft
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to you Dodoro

Yestin, Yestin Eades

Why is this bolded in the OP? listed as a rookie on EFC website:
http://www.essendonfc.com.au/teams/profiles/rookie

aboods · October 27, 2018, 9:47am

We’ve been over this a thousand times this year. The club website is wrong.
It was clearly stated on the club website when he signed his last contract that he was upgraded to the senior list. It wasn’t possible for him to stay on the rookie list this year

goon_squad · October 27, 2018, 9:51am

No worries, thanks for the clarification. Pretty ordinary for the club team list to be wrong.

So I take it that we only have 3 “normal” rookies then, plus Lavendar and McNiece as Cat B rookies?
