I thought it odd a few weeks ago when Crameri returning from a two weeks injury was relegated to the reserves. A player of his calibre would normally automatically be returned to the seniors after such a short absence.
I have watched him play for the past two weeks in the VFL and I have never seen a player less committed.
I hear that Carlton have made him an offer and I wonder if he has already told the EFC that he will be leaving at the end of this season.
yea from what i heard he will sign / wont sign depending on the outcome of asada
Crameri for Mclean - you read it here first! :P
If every Essendon player who looks disinterested had decided to leave then we are surely f*cked next year.

Oh god
yea from what i heard he will sign / wont sign depending on the outcome of asada
Wow, if true that is a massive statement of possible disloyalty! I hope no other players follow suit!
Crameri deserves to be playing reserves.
His defensive efforts have been poor all year. He looks injured when chasing someone but when he there is a sniff of a goal or possession he seems to find his pace.
Wow, if true that is a massive statement of possible disloyalty! I hope no other players follow suit!
not really whats the point of signing if your gonna get a possible 2 years ?
but in all fairness in the last half of the season when the point stripping rumour became a media fest ....the club has been very carefull with our players who have injuries havent they ? no ones been rushed back carrying anything have they ?
except jobe who i think would have played with 1 arm hanging off to help the team

Well you've heard rubbish.

Nah, he is just out of form and still has injuries.
Hell I am completely exhausted by ASADA, so what do you think the players are feeling. Crammers is going nowhere, he is a required player. Unless Hawthorn want him and trade Franklin, or Doggies give us Griffin and the guy with the hair.

Disloyalty! Bullsh1t! Can't you read between the lines? Some players are more involved in the process more than others, he may or may not be one. Assumptions. The bloke has been injured. He is not friggen superman. Geez, we are Bomber-land don't eat our own and particularly, not now with all this crap going on. Cut the bloke a bit of slack will you!
This is so fkg stupid. No way is he leaving.
There is a rumor doing the rounds that he may be leaving not to Carlton though. Cant confirm it.

Woof Woof

If he goes to the dogs then the dogs are just being stpuid.
They don't need another mid-sized KPF who can run all day. They need a big body, 6'5" who can take a mark.
Our forward line is a disaster, we can’t really afford to lose the guy that is easily our best forward
Losing Crameri and Monfries in successive years would not be ideal.
I posted this in another thread (yesterday) that I spoke with a prominent Carlton person on Saturday at Etihad and he told me that Carlton were preparing big offers for both Gumby and Crameri. He also said that Crameri already had a 2 year offer on the table from Essendon before Crameri's management put negotiations on hold. He also believed that other clubs were circling the pair, hence Carlton preparing BIG offers to trump the others.
In my view, I'd be staggered if Crameri decided to leave. There's no doubt he's been playing hurt for quite a while this year but I agree with the OP that if he's fit enough to play VFL, then he should be playing in the AFL side. I doubt very much whether the ASADA stuff has anything to do with his not signing.
Crameri + Gumbleton for Yarran and Lucas

No deal. Crameri is worth more than Yarran and Lucas.
