Quite a few of the Bombers faithful are suggesting that Essendon will get involved with the Tippett deal as a way to get Caddy. Cant see it happening as I doubt we have anything worth offering the Crows

Monfries would be the closest to providing something useful - good replacement for Knights on a forward flank maybe.....

Hearing Monfries + another. Names like Hooker and Pears are being thrown around. Not sure the Crows would want anything we have to offer

Heard the Monfries one to the crows. Would probably need draft picks as well.

We dont have any decent picks.
Using our first round on Daniher and will possible grab another 1 or 2 father/sons.
Only way we will get picks is if we trade a heap of players out

Why he can just sit with Ash Smith.

Wrapt to have him choose us though, I think this may be a very productive off season for us. Wellingham and Cripps and possibly one more.

Hard to blame the Bombers for that given how fragile his body has been .. How old is he now? Thought he showed some glimpses this year briefly when he got out on the park for a few consecutive games, but still really only looked a "bit" player in the main.

Yeah, I wasn't being critical. Just thought that it could be a definite possibility that another club may show a bit of interest, and offer a bit of job security.

Shannon Byrnes joins Melbourne on a 2 year deal.
Henry Slattery has left Essendon and is seeking a new club. He would be very interested in playing for Port
