a forward/mid that just doesn't kick enough goals IMO
also tends to get injured or at least carries injuries into games
Lets just stick to the kids IMO
go for kids...
I could not stand him if he played for us, 27 next year then and NO IMO
No - we also need to look to the future and I hope not become the recycled graveyard...
Andrew Lovett?

You guys have to be kidding. A fast, skilled midfielder/forward is exactly what we need. 26? That could give him five years. Certainly worth a look, depends on the price.
He's a far better player than either Corrie or Wonaeamirri. He has good skills, extreme pace, breaks the lines and kicks goals. Why on earth would we not look at him if he's available?

Very surprised by the lack of respect for Lovett in this thread. Often really good players who don't have good games v St Kilda (e.g. Goodes) don't get respect, but I would have thought the opposite would hold true as well. I can recall Lovett just about single handedly dragging Ess across the line v us (think we won by 3 pts?) in 2006.
I'm surprised to hear Essendon's thinking of letting him go. Honestly, I don't believe it. I've thought in the last couple of years he's really emerged, and he really suits where Essendon's going. I've seen him burn off fast players (Ryan Griffen for example) like they were plodders. He can kick goals from outside 50.
He's a guy who if you can get him cheap (the suggested pick #90 or a PSD selection) so there's little risk, could be an enourmous pickup. At 26, he won't be a 10 year player, but if the culture of the club is strong enough to bring him in line...
Id you can get better, you do it.

Im with the last 2 posters ,very surprised by the reponse to recruit Lovett. Would have thought it would have been a positive thread but seems that hes not wanted (at St.Kilda anyway). As I stated on a previous post I think we would be crazy not to have a look at him even if he is 26.BAM! (shhhh) wrote:Very surprised by the lack of respect for Lovett in this thread.

I would take him for a very late pick for sure. averages over a goal a game. (by camparison Fizz averages 1 goal ever 3 games).
so lovett would be in out best 22 for sure. only 25. 26 next year. definitely worth a 2 year contract.
he only debuted in 2005 at the age of 21. so only 4 years of afl. a late developer. he actually debuted AFTER Raph Clarke. so people saying we need to give raph more time but we wont take lovett are very confused individuals. A lovett could have some very very good footy ahead of him if he wants it.

I'd be interested, but I'd get him thoroughly checked over by a shrink, a physio and Nick Riewoldt before I considered giving away a very, very late pick.
We have a stack of duds running around at Casey who offer nothing to the team, there's no question that Lovett would offer a lot more.
I'm all for a select few recycled players SO LONG as it doesn't affect our ability to bring through new talent.
Is this possible? Absolutely.
You just need to make sure that you keep turning over kids frequently.

agree. the bright side is he is capable of playing 3 years and 50 games. remember medhurst was traded at a simlar stage of his career.evertonfc wrote:I'd be interested, but I'd get him thoroughly checked over by a shrink, a physio and Nick Riewoldt before I considered giving away a very, very late pick.
