I'm surprised Geelong are keen on him to be honest. They're still thinking this senior group has one more flag in them.
two losing prelims. why not have a crack at it. as freo, west coast, st kilda and even hawthorn have found out, the premiership window can slam shut very quickly. may as well have one last crack at it
Mackie and Lonergan closed it on their way out.
Finished 2nd both years so no denying the quality of the group, but bundled out both years in the prelims by sides who lost the GF means they're close but not quite up to the top couple. ( Might have been lucky in '16, beat the Hawks in the 1st final by 2 points IIRC ).
I don't see Ablett making up for the loss of Mackie and Lonergan and Taylor going 32 and a banged up Selwood 30.

I may be wrong, but I don't think he's going to wind the clock back 4 years and kick 24 goals in 3/4 of a season. Wouldn't be the first time I'd be wrong of course!
He has only kicked 40 goals or more once, in 2010.

Maybe, probably not. I'm just an old style footballer where in years gone by he would be the perfect flanker. Bulldogs and Richmond have taught me in the last few years I don't know shit

So LMA, we both don't know anything about anything. Why are we here again ;-) ?

Not sure Adelaide can claim him as he committed to the Bombers 12 months ago and didn't play cricket last year at all...The Bedge wrote:Don't know if it has been mentioned, but Essendon have signed Adelaide CC quick Luke Lavender as a Cat B rookie.
202cm athletic kid, be interesting to see how he goes.
