So apparently the rumour is Essendon are considering trading him.

Yay or nay?

And if yay, who do we trade for him?

saintnick12 · Mon 28 Sep 2009 7:25pm

I say yes - trade for our first round draft pick ...not sure if that would be enough. We have a lot of good young players and have to make sure we get something that adds to our chances of winning the flag next year with this current group.

Not a chance

NO WAY. He's a sook who goes missing when the heat is really applied - see the elim final this year where he was embarrassingly bad. Wants 500k a year which is ridiculous. He's also an undisciplined twat who has had one half decent year out of about 5 and refuses to pull his head in off field.

Has no heart, and is exactly NOT what our great club needs. Sure he's got pace, but a few more qualities please.

Tell us what you really think next time...

If only he put as much effort into his footy as he did his MJ moves

For the right price, yes.

Not sure what the right price is mind you.

I wouldn't want to give our 1st rounder away but i'm not sure what else Essendon would want they we would give. If we could get him for anything less than i would take it in an instant.

Matty Lloyd just endorsed him. Reckins he'd be a good fit. Not as high maint as some would believe.

I flicked over and WWAAT was on, and though I didn't want to watch it, I was strangely compelled too...

I have walked away since, when Robert Walls had a go at Roo for trying to take chest marks in the wet....and then defended the goal umpire

What was I thinking!!!!

Lovett is a gun - at least he seemed that way when we played them this year - would be a brilliant pickup.

I think the point about the chest marks is spot on. Very hard for small fwds if he goes for chest marks. At least with overheads, you can create more opportunities.

No doubt Nick will work on it.

Nothing that a tune-up and few mechanical modifications from Ross the mechanic won't fix.

But in those conditions?

Thinline · Post: # 836221Post **Thinline** » Mon 28 Sep 2009 9:32pm

So not in the RL mould. Wallace would call him a downhill skiier. Lyon likes them tough, selfless, malleable and reliable.

Lovett, IMO, is none of those things.

He's a fast, selfish squib with an apparent penchant for disco biscuits.

Not a hope in hell of so much as interview with our Ross.

I'd have a good look at McKinley. Or is he a bit cumbersome?

Not convinced we need to trade for the forward role unless we could get O'Keefe for nothing too extravagent. Alternatively we need to get some games into Lynch and/or somehow turn Gwilty into the player he can and should be and/or have a look at X Clarke post rehab. Never know. He might - and I emphasise might - be a player again.

Kane Tenace?

Con Gorozidis · Mon 28 Sep 2009 9:32pm

well i wanted him last year and nothing much has changed. hed be a good fit. i dont reckon wed have to give much him cos most other clubs would not be interested and it appears his days are done at essendon. so i reckon we could get him for a 3rd round pick.

and 500k. dont think so. 300 tops.

Why not. If Kosi can go up with his hands, why not Roo?

Lloyd made the comment that Carey and Brown can do it because of their body size. Gherig was in the same boat.

Kane Tenace.....

Sheesh.

He cant break into that side. Would probably struggle here too.

It's not like Kosi has got a lot of love for reaching up with his hands on Saturday though

Where's Bernard when I need him?

It's just another dimension that Roo should develop. Take it easy girl.

Not unless he comes at a bargain trade. In hindsight he is just another flat track bully or one trick pony, which ever you prefer!

I know he's lighting quick, but too often he seems perfectly capable of ripping crap teams to ribbons but does f**k all against real opposition - except when he plays us that is
