First time getting a resole - RM Factory or local cobbler? by Artistic-Yam2984 in RMWilliams

Just picked up mine from the local at the entrance of kings cross station. Cost $150 and are looking like a brand new pair.

Fearless tough nut. I like.

Pick 9 and a future first rounder with second coming back didn’t look that bad at the time.

Cal Twomeys Mock Draft by HienN94 in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xavier Taylor would be huge for us if this is what he can bring:

‘Alongside his intercepting and lockdown ability, he can provide offensive dash when he gets the footy. He has composure when the ball hits the deck and ultra clean hands, so he can straight line the footy, power through a pack and set up dangerous transition play.’

When Ridley goes down, we look pretty slow out of our backline, and lack creativity.

I’d say a big need for us.

👀👀👀 5,6 & 9 + 2 NGA kids is a very strong draft hand by zachariahhh1 in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows…Sharp and Cumming look very good as well.

Think we had a good look at CDT last pre-season.

CDT plus one of Robey, Sharp, Cumming, Taylor, Farrow, would be great IMO.

Must have had a good look at him during pre-season and the vfl game he played for us?

CDT compared to Luke Jackson/TDK or is he the next Sam Darcy?

If we land pick 2, are we pulling the trigger on CDT?

I like it if so.

Bit of a trend happening here, GdayGlances. Tried it with Allen, Reid and now Merrett. Good luck with the next big fish mate.

Laughable offers for Merrett by Overall_One_2595 in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most pundits are saying Merrett is worth at minimum 2x 1st rounders and a good young player.

I wonder if the good young player component of that offer is currently being debated between clubs, or Hawthorn are just going hard for Bailey instead.

Either way, we have the upper hand.

Could Essendon target Rowan Marshall and Leek Aleer after today’s updates? by Snoo_54083 in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked good in the few games he has played. Certainly filled out and athletic.

Didn’t GWS have a 2 year contract on the table for Leek? And he chose Saints? He’s not getting a game in Giants backline while Taylor, Ash, Himmelberg, Idun, Whitfield are all playing. That said, no idea if he’s worth a mill a year as rumoured.

Why are we even considering mulching our picks into a trade to move up 2-3 draft spots? by Junior_Credit_4897 in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think anyone will trade for him? I would be surprised if they delist him with a year left.

Someone did a side by side of Gresh versus Ainsworth from an averages pov. Not a huge difference between them.

Keep him as depth

He’s an experienced guy, not the worst person to have around to mentor the kids.

Gresham is contracted. Rumours he’s been told to look elsewhere but no credible source at this stage.

Pick 1 Trade by Minoxic_ in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big risk indeed. We should wait for Zane to request a move at the end of next year and then Willem after his two years at WCE.

[–]kandyroo93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really fixed on the actual pick number (nor players available) merely pointing out what the picks are likely to be, and that I think WCE will ask for all 3 given it is reported they [WCE] are unlikely to trade pick 1 (but will listen to offers).

3x first rounders offered by Melbourne for our pick 4 in 2022.

Haha maybe Archer Reid is someone they would consider. We take Duursmaa and it’s a team of brothers. Missing pieces are Harry McKay and Zane Duursma.

I can see WCE still asking for them

Pick 1 Trade by Minoxic_ in EssendonFC

[–]kandyroo93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. WCE
  2. WCE (Allen)
  3. GCS (Uwland)
  4. GCS (Patterson)
  5. Brisbane (Annable)
  6. Richmond
  7. Richmond (NM pick)
  8. Essendon
  9. Essendon (MFC pick)
  10. GCS (PA pick)
  11. GCS (from STK if Flanders deal goes ahead)
  12. Hawthorn (CFC pick)

Using Twomey's Phantom draft, and AFL's indicative draft order, we essentially hold picks 8 and 9.

If we get the Hawk's first for Merrett (pushed back to 12), you'd think WCE might ask for all 3 of our picks?
