Sam Dunell
I have heard Essendum are very angry at st.kilda for picking up Sam Dunell.

I actually think he is someone to watch over this year.

Re: Sam Dunell
Have you heard how pissed we were at Essendon making Lovett out to be a "top bloke" before we gave up our first round draft pick for him? I think this would currently pale into insignificance compared to that.Ajantis wrote:I have heard Essendum are very angry at st.kilda for picking up Sam Dunell.
Hearing good things about him from those that have seen Sandy live this year, though, which is great.
Is it correct that we're able to automatically upgrade someone from the rookie list at the half way mark of the season, if we don't have anyone on the LTI list?

So sad, too bad to them if we're smart enough to have picked Sam Dunnell up.
One to us.

Re: Sam Dunell
Essendon had picks before us and could've picked up Seb Ross in the National Draft and Sam Dunnell in the Rookie Draft if they had've wanted to.Ajantis wrote:I have heard Essendum are very angry at st.kilda for picking up Sam Dunell.

Instead they picked up Elliot Kavanagh and Lauchlan Dalgleish respectively.
It was their call.
If anything Ross and Dunnell should be very angry at Essendon for not picking them

Is that the situation? If so, who would we promote, Dunnell, Currren, or Ferguson?

Re: Sam Dunell
I also asked that question (are we able to upgrade someone at the half way point?) on the Saints board on BF and Squizzy1970 (who gives the detailed Sandy reports each week as well as Thunda) replied: "Yes (albeit has to fit within the cap which shouldn't be too hard now that rookies get a decent wage)." I reckon he's as likely as anyone on these forums to know, so I take it it's true.

Re: Sam Dunell
On the handful of games i've seen him play, Im super enthusiastic about Dunnell..
Has enormous ability and tricks, keeps his feet, and wins all/most one on one contests, both on the ground or in the air...
I have him ahead of Saad this year on VFL form...
If he keeps working hard, I'm certain he has what it takes to make it...

Re: Sam Dunell
The kid is a gun.
Plain and simple.
Will be a player..
IF he keeps going like this, he would be demanding promotion if required.
And seriously, who GIVES A FLOG if Essendon are all upset we took him.
Fkn bunch of Cleveland Steamers.
