Yep, this is it.
We’d need to add our F3rd.

Would you take Joe Richards from them as well would be seprate from the Hobbs deal
Pretty much zero as we likely wouldn’t even get to keep the pick. It’d get swallowed up in the Kako match. If Hobbs goes then packaging him up with Pick 8 to move up the order would at least ensure we get something for him.

Geez people see where Essendon are at different to me.
You’d be keen on Bailey Smith if you were in any sort of premiership window….which we are not.
You’d be keen on Bailey Smith if you missed the 8 but thought you still had a good list like Coll or Melb to give next year a shake……which we will not.
Surely we’ve learnt from Shiel trades etc!
This club has just finished 11th AGAIN, clearly we need top end draft talent.

Where does he play ???..HHF ?
I’ve only seen patches of him and he looked good.
Is he an upgrade on Gresham ?
Does he have goal sense ?
McCreery is the player we could use in our forwardline, not that Coll would want to lose him.
Listed as a mid foward
Disappointing but never thought it was a realistic chance anyway.

Not sure about you - but essendon has long term pain.
I mean WTF?
Where were you from 2013 on?
Or the 8 years prior.

Are you finally starting to see the problem here?
It’s not working because the AFL want expansion more than they want equalisation.
What they’ve inadvertently achieved is an environment where it’s far easier to stay at the top than it is to build off the bottom.

Rioli is severely underrated, people always make fun of him. His speed and ball use off half back is a weapon, he also busts his ass both ways. Super player imo

Not sure the Suns or GWS would agree.
Ironically both taken with pick 13, if Hobbs gets to 200 off games it would be a miracle I reckon

I was hoping we might have a chance to get Houston but it sounds like he wants FC. Damn.
Carlton probably willing to trade two firsts to get him

He’s probably too old for our demographic as well. A shame because if any team needs an AA defender it’s us.
Well to be fair originally they would draft players from anywhere else bar QLD and theyd request trades home…
You’ve nailed it. Left Mills off that list.
Eddy warned everyone. The Swans have an unbelievable advantage-the league via their academy has ensured the Swans are always a top team and more likely a top 5 team contending for premierships. All this Bloods culture pumping up how good the Swans are - it’s bullshiit, a farking gift from the AFL to ensure they get ratings and bums on seats in NSW to pump up the code and the next TV deal.
Next it’ll be the GC dominating via their academy. It’s complete and utter corruption of an “even” competition to ensure the AFL wins the ratings and beats rugby in QLD and NSW.
Can you imagine if Essendon got gifted 4 players as good as Merrett of course we’d be top 1-2 and contending - the football public would be saying how good our club and culture is.
Geelong has managed to do the same via its off the books lifestyle benefits. Allegedly
