He’s an upgrade on DLarke, but by how much?

May be just me, but I see Dlarke as a terrier and E-Y as a bulldozer.
He makes more sense to me than Ellis.
I can’t see that at all.

I agree with that, I’d add a new 3rd ruckman and a young ruck/forward.
I’ve got high hopes for Ham and Mozzie but ideally we’d have another 2 small forwards/HFF.
Most importantly we need to get our forward line off the injury list and back to 100%.
Acemans boy
We have Snelling he will make it

Is Sam Hayes signed at Port? He’d be the perfect player to add IMO. The guys at Ranges said he & Stephenson would be AFL guns, they just have “it”. They felt Stephenson should’ve gone pick 1 or 2. Hayes somehow lasted to pick 47(?) and I was desperately hoping he’d make it to us but Port got him the pick before. He’s a young ruck/forward. Just turned 20 and at over 200cm, moves well and is good below his knees. Did an ACL last year and was home at his local club for a bit during recovery. Would love to get him home and to the Bombers.

Contracted till 2021 I think.
And Port do have a surplus in young ruck/forwards.
Perhaps we should send his details to the Saints so they can stop harassing poor Sammy Draper.
I was a fan of Hayes but he always shaped more as a forward than a ruck to me, strength was always in his marking rather than tap work, though I’m sure Port have put a lot of work into developing that side of his game.
I’d be a bit concerned if his knee op affected his spring though. Depends on whether it was his natural take-off foot.
Griffin Logue?
High draft pick. Done nothing at the dockers. Lyon can miss some who don’t follow his rules so there could be a decent player there for KPB?

Supposedly we’re one of the clubs inquiring about Bryce Gibbs.
Been waiting since 2006 for this moment.

Our VFL list is awesome this year.
Although the increasing length of the injury list is starting to bite.
Left out or injured?
Stats say he played 3 WAFL games & 0 AFL games last year; 4 WAFL & 4 AFL this year

he was a bit of a risky pick when they took him anyway. he had a very good draft combine, which raised his profile. but i think the dockers were keen to pick up a WA boy so there was no issues with the “go home factor”. hes probably not worth the trouble for us. theres better options out there

I find that pretty hard to believe. Not sure why we’d chase an old guy now when we’ve specifically targeted a lower age bracket for a few years

Agreed. I reckon we just get added to every trade article for clickbait

Looking at the indicative draft order we really need to hold on to our current (late) picks. We need an unrestricted free agent/s who doesn’t cost us anything in terms of draft picks. Any talk of a ruckman that Essendon are chasing that fits into this category?
Sam Jacobs, Kreuzer, Sandi, Goldstein, Tom nicholls
If it were 2011…
