Yea that’s the spirit, we should bring back our greatest ever club man in Dave Myers while we’re handing out charity

Even when we start being moderately smarter, we are still so confounding dumb.

What could we possibly gain from this.

An injured, injury prone, average 28 year old midfielder who best case is fit and sits behind Sharp/Tsatas in the VFL and at worst takes their spots.

There is no upside. None, nil, nada.

He will be very useful scraping across the line against the likes of the Tigers and West Coast

Someone has to play the Shiel role….

Strange call. Find a player that can join possible future core group. Take the free hit.

Strange call. Why not wait to see how his recovery is progressing!!! It’s charity.

I still think we should give the spot to Lual. I’m probably the only one but I really think Lual could play a decent game in the AFL. He needs a decent pre-season and some coaching but he has that X factor which a SSP pick is great for.

Is Lual training at another AFL club? If not, I’m not surprised. Just not enough arrows in his quiver. He might be able to put pressure on, but can he find the ball?

Not wishing to go off half cocked, nothing confirmed afaik, but while I think just about every efc fan really appreciated what Will brought and how horribly unlucky he’s been (both with his body and the apparent ineptitude of our medical), if this is really happening I’m full cocked irate. Jesus what a dumb club. Brad’s pass mark more important than competing in finals in 2-4 years.

I don’t mind the Setterfield call. It’s a weak draft year and we’ve just cut over 1000 games of experience off the list. Especially with 3 big bodies mid draftees coming through, it’s probably nice to have him around to hand down some knowledge on the craft.
