Whatever the news is, terrible for Mason, kind of okay for Essendon.
The later some other club puts a bid on him, the better.
Hearing he’s got stress fractures in his back. Always hard to put a time frame on the recovery, but the early word is that he’s out for 8-10 months. Still early in the piece, so hopefully my news is a bit off and his recovery takes far less time than that.
thats ■■■■■■■ ■■■■.
don’t play him anywhere.
I was told 8-10 months but that seems a bit excessive to me. No doctor, but I didn’t think it took that long to get over stress fractures?
33 disposals, 7 tackles and a goal to Sam Walsh today, he may not be the big inside midfielder we are looking for but he will be a guaranteed A grade midfielder in the AFL

Dodoro might find it irresistible to pick up a King brother…what % ruck do they play?
Between this and the VFL thread, I know where ill be spending most of my time on blitz this season
Beware - I studied up on the U18s last year and then we traded away all our picks.

Haha
You can only trade away picks if players are willing to come to your club
This off-season we won’t have that problem

love your work TD1.
seems you want us to stack up on mids in the draft?
I don’t get to u18 games so I don’t make calls on that form.
Irrespective of draft position once they are in the system they are all equal.
I call it how I see it.
*for the record I was the one that started the Clarke train and that was last year. He is a very late pick but it means little to me if they can play.
We need more depth in that area, we need another developing key forward but i dont think we will find that late in this draft.

I was on the Clarke train before he was even drafted 
Had him top 20 in my rankings for that draft. Just for the record i also had Mynott in my top 30 last year and he has started pretty well already getting the midfield time that Mutch and Clarke didnt get in their first year.

I don’t mind mynot but he’s long term I think.
Glad he’s getting a shot in the midfield early. They must rate him.
