Andrew Embley???

roo+hayes=flag · Thu 25 Sep 2008 11:36am

Was wondering if he might be a good target to go after during trade week. Could be the player to help out roo on the forward line, can also move up into the midfield for depth. is 27 so has a few good years left in him. Don't know what he woud cost, bt ould be someone to look at....Thoughts?

No.
to old and would cost to much.

Could be worth a punt, but depends on the price, will definitely be good for another couple of years though...

I don't think there is a deal that could be done that would see both us and WCE happy...

Having said that however, I wouldn't say no to a deal that only saw us happy...

Won't happen.

What about Osama Bin Laden? Now he'd make our forward line explosive

Yes, he might, but unfortunately a lot of his current team mates have a habit of blowing up.

Embley is a c*ckhead of the highest degree. Don't want him. Would rather Cousins or Kerr. Just my opinion. Was behind the Cousins/Chick fiasco and has been known to punch on with other teammates (ie Kerr).

From what I can see Embley's best footy may be behind him.

Still you never know but the Eagles would be wise to trade him (I know his uncle who thinks that he will have a new home next year) as he still has value as a trade but for how much longer? Maybe worth a draft swap (our 1st round for their priority pick) or 3rd rounder.

exactly...

this obsession on grabbing anyone from another club is laughable...

embley is past it

Kerr is overrated

Robert Lewis Thompson is useless

Wojcinski no chance and why??? we already have Gram that performs the same role...

I can't be bothered any more suggestions this site has mentioned

All things being equal I'd rather have Wojcinski performing the role.

If he hadn't done the achilles he would have played every game. His pace was devastating and he knows how to nail a goal on the run.

Anyway he won't go anywhere. Why would he want to leave a team on the verge of back-to-back flags with a chance of the 3-peat, and maybe more?

That would be a definite no from me. Not a quality person.
Would sooner have Barry back and I don't want him back either.
Or even Spida would be better. Have no time for Embley at all.
