Wish we had McEvoy

Why we would he be dropped?
His form has been good -a niggling injury from Round 2 perhaps.

It would be better for us if Patrick Dangerfield was in doubt!

We may need another key defender to combat Patton and Cameron and possibly Boyd.
How did Bruce go in the VFL?

He would want to dominate against the Brisbane Lions schoolboys the other night

100% loss record as an AFL coach..

Sounds perfect for us.[/quote]

That's the spirit.[/quote]
Perhaps we should sack him now before he gets comfortable in the job!

Hopefully haven't missed anything. As of the 23rd of October we have so far had 3 Retire, 2 Delisted and 2 Traded out. We have Traded 2 in. If we are to get Longer for Pick 25. Promote Curren from the Rookie list. Pick up Jolly and Bruce and Draft players with 3, 18 and 19, we will need to delist a...

I think we are still possibly chasing him.

I don't see him as a good swap for Dal and they don't have any early picks

a compo for dal would be in the 20s can we kill the nonsense it would be pick 4. if it was pick 4 the club would do it in a heartbeat. I would rather keep Dal than receive a pick in the 20's. Dal is a star and we will continue to receive great service for at least 3 more years. a draft pick in the ...

if we want bruce and delaney, and have already upgraded curren and we want say 3 or 4 picks in the draft. that must mean we will have to trade I don't think we will use 4 picks. Delaney is a fringe player at North and a 3rd round pick should be enough -if GWS want Fisher we possibly add the 4th rou...

Stephen Milne from Essendon -275 games, 570 goals

If we loose NDS, kiss 3x membership for next season goodbye, might be some 'best interest' for the club to keep in mind. NDS is like the heart of the club... I couldn't give a rats ass if we were offered a pick from 10 to 20, not worth it. If you're going to get rid of Dal, take Roo as well, actual...

Dal to NM -> Delaney + Pick 25 to Saints Pick 25 + Fisher to GWS -> Bruce + Pick 10 to Saints Effectively Pick 10, Delaney and Bruce for Dal and Fisher Hope Pelchen can get something like this done IMO would need a hell of a lot more than Fisher to get pick 10. Fair point, McEvoy instead of Fisher?...

My preferred trades are Mcevoy for a top 10 pick and Fisher for anything. Happy to keep dal and joey. If someone offers a top 20 for dal I'd probably take it though. Probably wont happen anyways. But with Big Mac I reckon Hickey and Stanley could make a good ruck duo. Trading McEvoy would be plain ...

I don't buy into this bottom 4 basket case next year rubbish,sounds defeatist imo,more than happy to keep NDS Bottom 4 and Basket case are entirely different things. Building a premiership side from the ground up is hardly defeatist - tell that to Alistair Clarkson who finished 14th (16 teams) in 2...

I don't buy into this bottom 4 basket case next year rubbish,sounds defeatist imo,more than happy to keep NDS I don't buy into the bottom 4 idea either. It has been proven that the only way to improve is to have a solid base of very skilfull players and bring in the young players around them . Dal ...

We will always feel shafted in trade deals when we overvalue our players. If we get anything better than pick 20-25 for Dal, Pelchen is very, very good. As i have said before, I reckon its as much about Dal's trade value as it is about salary cap relief. Just like the Dogs moving Lake on. Big price...

This is one ridiculous beat up - he has only been asked to not go on holiday with Martin. No question of being trading

People have short memories.

We also had a sound base of experienced players to help them in their early years - Loewe. Burke, Harvey, Hudgton, and Hamill and Gherig

if we trade Fisher and Dal Santo for two more kids it will make a certainty of bottom four.

That's the chance you take. We know that Dal has the ability and all things being equal will give us at least another two years at a high standard. If we traded him for pick 26, and that player remains a fringe player while we watch Dal starring for another club, what would be said on the forum then?

Dal hasn't lost his passion he has always played with a laconic style. I think he loves the club and should be allowed to stay.

Has it occurred to anyone how hypercritical it is to have a motto "Strength through Loyalty" if we trade a loyal player like Dal Santo who wants to stay. He is probably our best at disposal and has at least 2 good years left. We might finish with a player at no. 26 which doesn't give us ev...

The club wou;d be crazy to be duped into accepting a fringe defender and pick 26 for a top player like Dal Santo. He would be very valuable to us to help guide our many young inexperienced players.
