Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
Last year I couldn't work out how they could fit all 3 ( Smith, Stringer and Saad) into their salary cap.
So, how the hell do they fit Shiel in?

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
Saad is not on that much surely.
Stringer is lucky to have a club after his 2016 schenanigans.
Smith would be on plenty.

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
I love how some people can’t come to terms with the fact that Essendon are a much more appealing prospect than us right now.
Better coach, bigger club, better list, on the verge of finals... why would you want that over a bottom 4 team coached by Richo!

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
Oh my, a few sensitive souls on here, I should have posted a trigger warning so you could evacuate to your safe spaces!
News flash, we finished 16th, there are 15 better teams than us, not hard to admit!
And please, of the four reasons I posted, please tell me which we are currently ahead of Essendon in.

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
5000 days without a final win that kind of helps the feeling of being trumped. Thanks. What is it for us?
The Bombers are building and to me they look to be getting stronger. I think we just need to go to the draft and get a future gun, there seems to be an element of luck involved with that. So over the next few years the guys picking the talent will need to get most of it right. We also need to get the environment right to nurture the talent we have. If Clark and Coffield keep improving to realise their potential, and Billing’s gets his confidence back we could break out of this malaise. Gresham could be anything. Acres is in the potential improvement category too that can impact the performance. I’m sure there are more I’ve missed.
Ah am I to optimistic?

Thinking about it, Essendon had the best hand, pick 9 which is closer to Shiel's value, and a list that is probably closest to challenging, even above Hawthorn. Bombers also apparently upped their offer in the latter stages.
Offer big money.
Offer more opportunity.
Offer long contract.
Marquee games at the MCG such as ANZAC Day.
Big crowds every week.
Great development.
Finals.
We simply can't offer the last four. It's beyond the recruiters control.
The second is null, given he's a starting mid anyway.
And we certainly threw everything at the second and third ones.
What more exactly do you expect the club to do? Sometimes you just miss out. It's not always someone's fault or due to incompetence.
The issue is the recruitment for 7 years has failed for the most part, let us say 85%. Change recruiters s as me rubbish.
It's not the recruiters alone the president and the board have to want to win do bad they will RIP every person to shreds who stands in our way. We lost that, Buttress was who he was and he still is as friend but he was a bastard and got us some staff who were starving to win. We recruited for a short spell some real A and B support players. That's gone.

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
Respectfully disagree...
What we’re failing to offer is an image/package that suggests that they would be better off with us. That in addition to money, they’ll be treated well, looked after by the club and that they’d be coming to a club that’s on the up.
The image we present at our club atm is players who arrive stagnate, players who leave go on to have success

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
I did forget a huge one Ben Long what is going on there? This has to be a dodgy report! Maybe this is how we get Shiel? I’d even feel we might have lost a bit on that deal. I do like Ben Long he one of the highlights of a bad few years.

Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
I hardly think essendon will on-trade shiel to us, even for ben long!!
Re: BLOODY-SCUM-SUCKING-ESSENDON
I know... I was just having a bit of a laugh. Kind of pointing out it would need to be an exceptional trade for us. I would probably still be a bit peeved though if we lost him.Premium89 wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 3:53pmI hardly think essendon will on-trade shiel to us, even for ben long!!
