Wish List

I have made some assumptions. We are not going to get Hird back. This is not necessarily for a player?
Therefore I have gone for Dane Swan. He doesn’t take ■■■■ from anyone.

The fact you have Rance in that list is enough for me to never come into this thread again.

Thank you for your much needed feedback.

So you’re saying that Essendon would be stupid to consider getting the number one backman in the comp ?

Or are you happy with leaving the likes of Dempsey and Steinberg back there ?

Perhaps you’re right, Rance could never be good enough to replace Gwilt either…

We already have the number 1 defender in the comp. HURLS

I agree with you, however im basing Rance being the number one defender in the comp by stats and afl experts. Hurley no doubt in my eyes is a better defender. All i was trying to argue is that you’d have to be stupid to reject Rance to come accross to the Bombers.

Harley Bennell would really get the squad in to up to speed.

And your list doesn't even make sense. For one, Hird is in it, but you did say "best clubman" so fair enough. But using "best clubman" why is Dane Swan in it? He has frequently said that at Collingwood, he barely socialises with any of his team mates and in fact doesn't see many of them in the 2 months he has off each year after round 23.

While there is nothing wrong with that, that doesn’t tell me he is “best clubman” material

Sorry, I’m still laughing at Rance.

Dude its a simple poll to see who the fans would best like to see at the club. I chucked in some odd balls because it makes it more interesting. clearly you don’t understand the meaning of a poll.

Don’t lose your shirt, don’t ■■■■ your pants, don’t take a chance, vote for Alex Rance!

To be fair, if you’re just going to pluck names at Random and place them in a poll with no rules or arguments as to why only those 8 or so names have been brought up, then it’s not really a simple poll. It’s probably the exact opposite of a simple poll because of the lack of explanation as to what the hell ‘best clubman’ means. A simple poll would perhaps be something like ‘is this a thread/poll needed or relevant to this board?’ With the options of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ and then ‘Hocking’.

Ok, I’ll break my rule.

We already have the #1 backman in the comp and he wears #18. To make matters worse, we also have the #2 backman in the comp but he is currently playing CHF for us.

We could get him.
Play Hooker back and Rance can play the Steinberg role (in the VFL).
He’d make the All-Victorian team and be the best VFL backman.
It’s a win-win for everyone in my book.

Turnbull will definitely take tones position
