Who did we trade to them earlier to get their second rounder?

Sounds like the kelly situation all over again. She didnā€™t find him on tinder did she?

Itā€™s a little early in the year for ā€œand a second rounderā€ isnā€™t it?

Especially for a player thatā€™s a free agent

If Francis is going to leave then he will be going back to Adelaide

He could do a Paddy Ryder and want to live closer to his family in the western suburbs?

Wallis is a FA. No need to trade.

The Footy Show saying Wallis not happy at the Dogs and might be on the way out.
Wallis anyone?

In wallis wines please

Everyone saying Wines is staying.

As a FA absolutely. Thats assuming heā€™s not got an over inflated idea of his $$ worth. He has the work ethic we sorely lack & heā€™s pretty hard at it. Heā€™s not top class skills wise but would improve our 22 straight away.

Mids that can run both ways and apply tackles need at least 1-2 more of them

9486

Heā€™ll yes would fix our midfield straight away bloke has a good inside game and can tackle

Some on field leadership would be nice. Like Woosha said. A player that can enforce a game plan and push leadership on the team would be worth their weight in gold if thatā€™s the style the club wants.

Have too many dumb footballers in our team unfortunately

Essendon probably has the lowest footy IQ in the league.

Mitch Wallis would be perfect. Would be cheaper, but heā€™s hard on the inside and itā€™s what we badly need. We donā€™t need superstars, we just need another 2-3 harder inside players that are tough nuts. We already have the players on the outside that can do damage, itā€™s the inside players we badly, badly lack. Also yes to Liberatore, another cheaper inside mid that puts his head over it.

No to Jong, has his good moments but I donā€™t think I rate him when the heat is on. Would basically be more the same with the rest of our team. Also big yes to Gaff but he seems unattainable.

The crux of our problems has been a rubbish midfield for years. Adding Devon has been a start but need atleast 2-3 more urgently and anyone at the club who is looking at anything other than mids should be sacked

Adds a colourful angle to the term ā€˜cattle on the fieldā€™.
