Not sure if he will be delisted, but I would look at Konstanty. Seems like the type of player we need, still very young and a top 20 pick. Spent his first 2 years in a winning system as well. Worth a free swing if he is delisted from the Swans.
While I do understand we need some depth i noticed a report in foxsports that Tim Membrey's management is talking to us about him replacing Stringer. He kicked 30 this year at Saints. He would be cheap as chips for a short term contract and offer real leadership up forward. What do you think?
@@Capital.Bomber how would he offer leadership up forward? What makes him a leader. This is the stupidity mindset of dumb Essendon supporters like yourself. Why the f would we want a 30+ forward. Is rather play caddy full forward then recruit him
Definitely Tim Membrey would be a very handy pick up plus with his Accuracy in front of goals would help the Bombers Immensely especially with what happened in the final few rounds
You under estimate his talent...and missing in action? I don't think you have watched many of the Geelong games. I am surprised they deslisted him. He is a champion.....
In all 4 grand finals Rohan played in he was terrible. I believe in his first three he only got 16 possessions between all three games😂 Was also poor in 2022 GF. Would be pointless.
@@aaronsalmon1376not happening with Dodoro around, skills & football ability are not important, he likes 200cm athletic beanpoles (who spend 5 years on a list for 20 games, having 458 different injuries) or 178cm half-back flankers who come from a good family & went to a private school
We’re so lucky we’re getting kako!! where our list is at and what we have in draft capital is ridiculous for a team that 85% of the footy world will have us finishing outside the 8 next season. We still have so many duds on the team and will fill the list up with more rejects. Outside our best 22 we have by far the worst list of talent which is so bizarre considering we haven’t finished above 7th!! Since 2002!! Forget a finals win this is more appalling.
I think kako should play rd 1 we need to go smaller, roberts and duursma on the wings and el hawli takes stringers spot if he leaves as pressure forward with pace that can also play wing
I’d really look at playing Perkins in that stringer role. Can role through the middle can take an overhead mark can put pressure on and is an awkward matchup I don’t think midfield is his strong suit and I think his got some X factor about him
Let's face facts. Essendon has been left in a disastrous position as far as its list and draft selections are concerned. We have one of the older lists in the competition. We have only 2 selections in this year's draft, which is meant to be one of the strongest drafts in years. We have had several players retire and delisted, with potentially more to come. We have a couple of players who want to leave the club, and Essendon won't stand in their way, and their draft value isn't huge. Unfortunately, we'll be a bottom team for several years, and Brad Scott will be unfairly blamed for his coaching. The real blame should be squarely on the shoulders of Adrian Dodoro. Essendon rejected Damien Hardwick's application to be the coach because he gave an honest assessment of our list back then. Unfortunately, he turned out to be correct.
Hopefully our club has the sense to Stay away from other clubs list cloggers. If we have a shortfall in a certain area ( defence ) fill it with young talent from the draft and develop them. We shouldn't worry about poor quality gap fillers using EFC as a retirement home. Spend the next two years with a focus on development and drafting to hopefully be a quality contender in 3 years or so...We are nowhere good enough to think we can fake our way into the eight by adding a couple of spuds.
We should've went hard for James Peatling and Sam Frost, it's a bit late now though there are other teams in front of us. Membrey might be interesting.
I wouldn't mind Reef McInnes, Darcy McPherson, Denver Grainger Barrass happy to rookie Kaine Baldwin for one year. Can we take two picks in the national draft and two picks in the rookie draft cheap depth options?
We are so the opposite of Geelong...they take low draft picks and make them good players, we take high draft picks and make them bad. Now looking at Geelong rejects again. That's where we are.
I love when essendon continue recruiting delisted players that are delisted for a reason instead of going to the draft. Players like Setterfield, Goldstein, Weideman, Gresham, Kelly, Wright, Hind, Townsend, Phillips, Josh Green, Matthew Stokes, James Kelly, Luenberger, Crowley, Grima, Cooney, James Gwilt. Look at the washed up fools we recruit, no wonder we cant make finals. We get people that are 30+ its comedy the way they go about it.
thanks for the update mate
No worries!
Carlton delisted player Calab Marchbank is someone Essendon should seriously consider.
Marchbank gets injured way too much
Whys that?
Some similarities to DGB with Marchbank, not a bad option
@@everythingessendon548Donald George Bradman? We'd have him

He won’t be able to play for us he has sleeve tattoos. We’re still that team in the afl saying sorry to everyone
@@r.mhaych5021 Stringer has 'em!
Rohan is often missing when the heat is on. At his age I think a really pointless pick up
You under estimate his talent...and missing in action? I don't think you have watched many of the Geelong games. I am surprised they deslisted him. He is a champion.....
@@kerryryan5116 I think a quick look at his stats might prove you wrong. It was a huge story how poorly he played in GFs I will add.
@@kerryryan5116 unless you are Gary Rohan I assume this is sarcasm or you know nothing about football whatsoever.
Agree Rohan is been delisted for a reason. Junk time goals and been quick isn't enough.
In all 4 grand finals Rohan played in he was terrible. I believe in his first three he only got 16 possessions between all three games😂
Was also poor in 2022 GF. Would be pointless.
we're on the road to nowhere , should be the essendon club song
Wouldn’t hear it much
if they can't kick we shouldn't be picking them up
Dodoro should give them a 10 year contract
Spot on. We have too many very poor kickers. Where are the days where you had to be skillful, and kick on both sides to be drafted?!
@@aaronsalmon1376not happening with Dodoro around, skills & football ability are not important, he likes 200cm athletic beanpoles (who spend 5 years on a list for 20 games, having 458 different injuries) or 178cm half-back flankers who come from a good family & went to a private school
More to footy than ball use, but hopefully we draft in some good users
Like you said Felix, as long as these 'aging depth players' are exactly that, depth, and aren't like Goldy and taking the place of up and comers.
Would hate to go into round 1 with young stars on the sidelines

Kako should be a big part of our future
.membrey would be a great fit also owies why aren't we looking at him. Great pick up if we could get him. Both know where the goals are.
100% mate totally agree
I’ll talk about Owies in tomorrow’s trade update
Rohan = no. Martin = no. Taylor = no/maybe. McInnes=maybe(potential). Bonner=no. MacPherson = maybe/yes. Dean=maybe. Durdin=no. Grainger-Barrass=yes. Van Es=maybe. Parfitt=no. Fair vid mate.
Agree with most of your picks, I like MacPherson for depth and DGB could turn out to be a good player
I’d really look at playing Perkins in that stringer role. Can role through the middle can take an overhead mark can put pressure on and is an awkward matchup I don’t think midfield is his strong suit and I think his got some X factor about him
No. Doesn't have the height, strength, or the heart to succeed in that role. Too often goes missing.
I do think we need to persist with Perkins

We’ll attack the draft as well, but we can’t rely on young players to fill holes if they aren’t ready
We should've went hard for James Peatling and Sam Frost, it's a bit late now though there are other teams in front of us. Membrey might be interesting.
Would require us destroying our draft hand
Peatling is out of contract mate and I think Frost is too.
@@ruckus1142 Out of contract players still require a trade, and his value has spiked with the amount of clubs interested
I wouldn't mind Reef McInnes, Darcy McPherson, Denver Grainger Barrass happy to rookie Kaine Baldwin for one year.
Can we take two picks in the national draft and two picks in the rookie draft cheap depth options?
We will want more picks in the national draft
The picture of Denver Grainger Barras clearly shows he has had some type of operation on his shouder?
He’s had plenty of injury problems
Have to pick up Curtis Taylor
He’s so bad 😂😂😂
@@eggeggeggeggeggeggeggegg you and dadoro must be best mates, both dont like players that kick it well and work hard both ways
Hasn’t shown much but wouldn’t be a horrible shout
We are so the opposite of Geelong...they take low draft picks and make them good players, we take high draft picks and make them bad. Now looking at Geelong rejects again. That's where we are.
Didn’t Granger Barrass do an ACL preseason or am I thinking of someone else at hawthorn?
That could be James Blanck you are thinking of, DGB has had foot issues this year
Maybe get Caleb Marchbank and a forward that is young, maybe get Curtis Taylor.
Seems to be quite a few who like Marchbank, cheers mate!
@@everythingessendon548 no prob mate! I’m happy with ideas to use and publish to other people.
Will Brodie from freo would be worth a shot
He's just another setterfield. Slow and not a great 2 way runner. Hawks have shifted the meta. Need to be able to run both ways these days.
Similar to Setterfield, but arguably not much better
we have to stop getting injury prone players, kills us
Rohan is 33 he’s done
Yep, doubt he gets picked up by anyone
Like for like Stringer??? Rohan???? How many goals kicked in his best year?
Like for like in playstyle, Stringer is better
Rohan is always injured. Marchbank is worth giving a go, he's better than rotham.
Agree on Dean. Baldwin is way more injury prone. I think we are gonna re rookie baldwin
Great call on van es, I think get him.
Marchbank is also injured quite a bit, unfortunately it’s a common theme with delisted players
Rohan could play defensively too. Depends how the body holds up but he could be a decent swing man.
Doubt he’d play much better than other defenders though
Rohan … seriously ?😟
Why not delist Weideman, then re-draft him!,,,,😂
Better yet, play them both in the forward line
Please no Gary Rowan. Rather see a kid... any kid.
Agreed
Why no mention of Finn Maginess?
Because he's contracted at hawthorn.
He’s contracted, check out my trade update from Wednesday if you want to hear about him
