Barlow & Blair would add value IMO though the latter's not really a need.....Richards/Henderson/O'Shea/Litherland would fill a desperate need and are still young...Green can play on his day but can also spud it up- not really a need either.....
Could do worse than Petrie for a year to cover our woeful KPF stocks....
Dal Santo (not mentioned in the article) would at least add desperately needed foot skills for a year...
Drawing a blank on Dylan Buckley for some reason....wasn't he rated as a future star by Carlton fans at one point....? Then again, they rate all their kids as future stars at first...
All these blokes are better than A.Moore at least..hell they're all better than Hunt and Townsend too....
Stay away from - Everitts, Towers, Lonergan , Clarke & Clark.....
Barlow, Richards main list and one of Litherland/Brown /Henderson/O' Shea rookie list for me.......
-
Barlow is a must IMO.
And I like the look of Litherland from Hawthorn as he has elite pace and is a very good size coming off HB.
Houli v Litherland- I know who I would rather.
Get it done Tigers.

Agree i wanted us to offer the hawks something for him last yr. Michael Barlow well i am surprised we just didnt give them pick 10000 to get him over the line.Personally i would rather Barlow as a player than Caddy based on consistent performance at afl level. The other one we should have taken a punt on was stewart from gws not sure why he went so cheap but he sure has shown some promise at times.

I concur steering clear of Clark & Clarke.

You know Moneyblair will already have these blokes in his sights :shh

Butcher :shh

Its difficult to see how we can fit a free agent into the list now with the addition of three players.
From what I have read there are only Batchelor, Butler, Lambert and A.Moore left as unsigned. We have to take at lest three picks in the draft and probably upgrade Short from a rookie.
So far only 6 off our list and 3 added. Will be interesting to see what they do.
-
So our picks are
27, 56, 82, 100, 118
Should be ok if we target 6 foot 3 inch fast running tough types, at least 85kgs with good foot skills and good footy brains

Not the Richmond way....

Butcher :shh
Kane Mitchell :shh :shh

This from Dawes manager
This could be a good ‘moneyball’ opportunity (for a club light on experienced forwards wanting a back-up)
Come on down Blair you dud Dawes is waiting for u

I can't believe it but agree with Claw re:- Barlow. Age profile no issue given Lids and is another midfield beast for us

Not sure you can get Richards as a DFA. I could be way off the mark but I think if a club offers you a contract and you reject it, you have to go through the draft?

Another year, another dozen or so players moving clubs and you wonder if we even bothered to 'politely inquire about their services' as they put it.
Barlow would have been a good pickup if his shoulder is sorted.
With guys like Stewart you have to hope we spoke to him and he said FO otherwise due diligence hasn't been done at all.
-
Dont agree with you Claw Barlow is cooked game gone past him and you seen it this year why he was in the wafl so much.
-
On the topic of Barlow, has just quit Fremantle and is up for grabs.

Do it Tigers.
Litherland too.
Pizz Batchelor off FFS
-
That spot Maric is wasting is going to make it hard come draft/DFA time. Stupid decision
-
Re-signed him before trade week then went and got a younger, fitter version of him anyway.... :clapping :gotigers
Wonder if Balme could try and talk him into a just taking up a non-playing coaching role instead?
-
Barlow - upgrade on Moore, better than Townsend, probably still better than half our current midfield....probably still has at least two good years of footy left in him...
Richards - can cover both ends, GF experience, young & athletic.
M.Brown - experienced big bodied KPD, better than Astbury
O'Shea - also better than Astbury - still only 24
Henderson - upgrade on Batchelor
Litherland - massive upgrade on Batchelor
Every one of them would immediately add value to our list IMO. Would love to be able to take Barlow, Richards, Litherland and one of Brown or O'Shea. Looks like we'll only be able to take one at the most however.....so I'd go for Richards simply because he can fill both our most desperate need (KPD) and our second most desperate need (KPF), is still young and just played in a GF campaign.
-
How many spots do we have on the list?
Need to cut away some dead wood badly.

Arent these guys also available to be taken in the nd. Could use 27, 56 and 82 is a real stretch still have 100 and 118 to jump in early on say richards and Barlow.we will get good footy out of those two but how many draftees have made any sort of contribution after pick 100.

I would be open to taking Richards and Barlow with late picks.
-
Barlow is a delisted free agent - will be gone before the draft you would think.
Nov 1 is the DFA period start date

Yeah that still doesn't solve the problem of our lack of list spots....and I'd imagine Barlow will go as a dfa before the draft ...Richards too...though I think he might have to go into the draft because he turned down a new contract offer from Sydney....can't see him lasting to 100....reckon M.Brown & Litherland will be snapped up as DFA's too....
-
Will be more delistings
Next list lodgement date is 31 October
Expect movement this week ;D
-
So far it's Prestia, Caddy & Nankervis in, McBean, Deledio, Chaplin, McKenzie & rookie listed Marcon out
So that's one free spot on the senior list - if we delist A.Moore, Batchelor, Lambert & Butler.....we'll have 5....will probably upgrade Short ....so that's four....we should take at least three picks in the ND.....which leaves us one spot for a DFA....alternatively we could only take two picks & upgrade Short....or we could go with a 40/4 list and only take rookie (as I'd imagine Castagna, Chol & C,Moore are safe ) ...so I guess we could get as many as three DFA's if we only used three picks in the ND including Short and went with a 40/4 list ? Feel free to correct me.
EDIT: Forgot about Soldo - is he still a seperate category B rookie this year?
-
That spot Maric is wasting is going to make it hard come draft/DFA time. Stupid decision
I believe that the football dept. was painted into a corner because of the massive money we have committed to Hardwicks contract.
If we get a ruck coach at $150k it is tagged onto our coaching dept. spend and we will be taxed via the AFL coaching dept. equalisation plan.
By resigning Maric he can be a minimal playing ruck coach and save us $ that we don't have.
THANKS DAN >:( >:( >:(

So I did.....that gives us a bit more leeway I guess...

Richmond and Essendon definitely keen on delisted Lion Josh Green.

Yeah he really fills a need....what with only Short, Lloyd, Rioli, Castagna, Edwards and even Lambert if he survives able to play that role, not to mention the possible drafting of Willie Rioli & Kirby.....pfft who needs KPD's?

Only thing re: Cas is how long he's been on the rookie list. I'm not 100% on either the rules or how long he has been on the list but you can only keep the rookied for I think 3 years, and he'd be close to that no?
-
Think you have to delist & re-rookie them for a third year or something like that? Darrou got a third year on the rookie list IIRC....

At 500k omg I hope not. He is no Eddie Betts.

Foxsports says Richmond should consider Xavier Richards, Matt De Boer, Josh Green, Andrejs Everitt, Cam Shenton (St K) and Shaun Edwards (Ess).
The most valuable AFL delisted free agents
Ben Waterworth
FOX SPORTS
October 30, 2016
THE AFL’s delisted free agency period opens next week, with clubs able to pick up axed players from Tuesday November 1.
And there are several players wanting a lifeline, including three ex-Dockers, who could provide clubs with terrific value.
From ball magnets to ruckmen, as well as nippy forwards to tall goalkickers, there are ample options for clubs to choose from the 2016 delisted free agents
class.
We profile the 15 most valuable free agents, as well as the clubs that should seriously consider picking them up.
1. MICHAEL BARLOW
Delisted by: Fremantle
Age: 28
Position: Midfielder
2016 AFL Numbers (13 games): 6 goals from 24 disposals, 11 contested possessions, 5 score involvements and 4 clearances
2016 WAFL Numbers (2 games): 3 goals from 42 disposals, 8 tackles and 5 inside 50s
THE most talked about delisted free agent over recent weeks — and rightly so. Barlow is a ball magnet in every sense of the word, while his defensive
pressure and ability to hit the scoreboard shouldn’t be underestimated. While he isn’t blessed with great pace, his excellent decision-making and sheer
volume of possessions would prove valuable for a team pushing into premiership contention.
Clubs who should consider him: Adelaide, Geelong, Western Bulldogs
2. ALEX SILVAGNI
Delisted: Fremantle
Age: 29
Position: Key defender
2016 AFL Numbers (5 games): 14 disposals and 6 marks
2016 WAFL Numbers (10 games): 12 disposals and 7 marks
WITH Alex Pearce to return from injury next season, the acquisition of premiership full-back Joel Hamling and Sam Collins set to be given ample opportunity
to grow, the writing was on the wall for Silvagni during the trade period. He had been linked with Collingwood, but that fell through once the Dees struck a
suitable deal for Lynden Dunn. Despite a calf injury plaguing his 2016 campaign, Silvagni finished the season strongly in the Dockers’ senior line-up,
shutting down the likes of Jack Darling and Taylor Walker, even though his team was thumped. A club searching for an experienced, ready-made key defender
could do much worse.
Clubs who should consider him: Port Adelaide, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs
3. XAVIER RICHARDS
Delisted by: Sydney Swans
Age: 23
Position: Utility
2016 AFL Numbers (10 games): 13 goals from 13 disposals, 6 marks, 6 score involvements,
2016 NEAFL Numbers (12 games): 26 goals from 13 disposals and 5 marks
FINALLY cemented his spot in Sydney’s senior line-up late in the 2016 season and even played in the Grand Final loss to the Western Bulldogs. But after not
receiving a new contract from the Swans straight away, Richards requested a trade to another club, preferably one in Victoria. Unfortunately for Richards,
there were no suitors during the trade period. But with the delisted free agency period about to commence, Richards’ manager says there’s been “some
interest” in the utility, who has the ability to play at either end of the ground. A Victorian club in need of a second or third tall forward might be
interested in Richards’ services.
Clubs who should consider him: Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond
4. MATT DE BOER
Delisted by: Fremantle
Age: 26
Position: Midfielder
2016 AFL Numbers (4 games): 1 goal from 15 disposals and 7 tackles
2016 WAFL Numbers (17 games): 10 goals from 30 disposals, 8 tackles and 4 inside 50s
LIKE close friend Michael Barlow, de Boer fell out of favour at the Dockers under Ross Lyon in 2016 after being a consistent member of the best 22 in
previous seasons. Despite that, de Boer was prolific at WAFL level, winning Peel Thunder’s best and fairest award. He capped off his stunning season with 30
disposals and 14 tackles in Peel’s successful grand final win. Clubs — need to add to your midfield depth with a 26-year-old ball magnet? This ex-Docker
could be your man.
Clubs who should consider him: Adelaide, Carlton, Richmond, Geelong
5. JACK GRIMES
Delisted by: Melbourne
Age: 27
Position: Half-back/Midfielder
2016 AFL Numbers (2 games): 24 disposals, 7 marks and 4 rebound 50s
2016 VFL Numbers (18 games): 13 goals from 28 disposals, 6 tackles, 5 marks and 4 inside 50s
TWO years ago, Grimes was Melbourne’s co-captain. Now, he’s looking for a new club, after falling out of favour with former coach Paul Roos and, seemingly,
new Dees coach Simon Goodwin. But at 27, Grimes still has ample to give a club, if his VFL season is anything to go by. He polled 11 votes in the JJ Liston
Trophy count to finish equal-ninth. Grimes could either fill a chasm across half-back, or even drift into the middle to provide midfield depth at another
club.
Clubs who should consider him: Collingwood, Brisbane, Gold Coast Suns
6. JOSH GREEN
Delisted by: Brisbane Lions
Age: 24
Position: Small forward
2016 AFL Numbers (11 games): 10 goals from 13 disposals, 6 score involvements and 4 inside 50s
2016 NEAFL Numbers (3 games): 8 goals from 27 disposals and 5 inside 50s
THE Lions’ mosquito fleet has been cut to two, after Green departed the Lions and left Dayne Zorko and Lewis Taylor behind. But what Green lacks in height
(176cm) he undoubtedly makes up for in ability to hit the scoreboard, topping Brisbane’s goalkicking in 2014 (33) and 2015 (25), while finishing third in
2013 (24). Injuries and patchy form plagued his 2016 campaign, but clubs looking to add a dangerous small forward to their already established attacking 50
set-ups should consider Green.
Clubs who should consider him: Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, Port Adelaide
7. WILL MINSON
Delisted by: Western Bulldogs
Age: 31
Position: Ruck
2016 AFL Numbers (2 games): 1 goal from 7 disposals and 16 hit-outs
2016 VFL Numbers (20 games): 13 goals from 16 disposals, 31 hit-outs, 5 tackles and 4 marks
CLEARLY the best pure ruck option for a club needing a big man to take ball-ups and boundary throw-ins next season. A member of the 2013 All-Australian team,
Minson never cemented his spot in the Bulldogs’ best 22 since coach Luke Beveridge took the reins in 2015. There are a couple of clubs who could do with his
tap-work.
Clubs who should consider him: West Coast Eagles, Brisbane Lions
8. ANDREJS EVERITT
Delisted by: Carlton
Age: 27
Position: Forward
2016 AFL Numbers (13 games): 17 goals from 14 disposals and 5 marks
2016 VFL Numbers (5 games): 5 goals from 17 disposals, 7 marks and 4 inside 50s
THAT’S now three clubs that have delisted Everitt — but the latest chopping might have been a bit harsh. After topping Carlton’s goalkicking in 2015 with 31
goals from a full 22 games, Everitt managed just 13 games in 2016 to boot 17 goals. He was axed from the Blues’ list last week as Stephen Silvagni continued
his brutal list cull. Everitt is still only 27, plus he still has the ability to hit the scoreboard. If a club needed a third forward — a similar role that
Tim Membrey plays at St Kilda — they could do worse than Everitt, who could be handed a fourth AFL lifeline.
Clubs who should consider him: Gold Coast, Port Adelaide, Richmond
9. CAM SHENTON
Delisted by: St Kilda
Age: 26
Position: General Forward
2016 VFL Numbers (18 games): 41 goals from 16 disposals and 5 marks
SHENTON’S story of persistence at the Saints ended this month when he was cut from the list after four seasons at the club. He spent two years on the rookie
list, was elevated ahead of 2015 but lost his spot in October after only two decent runs in the seniors across 2014 and 2015. Shenton proved, though, in 2016
that he has the potential to be a dangerous forward should a club need that player type. He booted 41 goals on his way to winning the Neil Bencraft best and
fairest award at Sandringham.
Clubs who should consider him: Richmond, Port Adelaide
10. SHAUN EDWARDS
Delisted by: Essendon
Age: 22
Position: Forward/Wingman
2016 AFL Numbers (3 games): 16 disposals and 3 inside 50s
2016 VFL Numbers (18 games): 16 goals from 21 disposals, 4 tackles and 4 inside 50s
HE has supreme talent and pace, but Edwards severely struggled for consistency at the Bombers. His best glimpses are outstanding, but that’s all they’ve been
so far — glimpses. But if a club can get the best out of Edwards consistently, he could be a very handy inclusion, especially for a team in need of run and
carry heading inside 50.
Clubs who should consider him: North Melbourne, Geelong, Melbourne, Richmond, Brisbane
11. MARK WHILEY
Delisted by: Carlton
Age: 23
Position: Midfielder
2016 AFL Numbers (1 game): 16 disposals
2016 VFL Numbers (10 games): 5 goals from 26 disposals, 4 marks and 4 tackles
GOT a good run in the seniors under caretaker coach John Barker, but managed just one match under Brendon Bolton in 2016 and was seemingly never a big chance
to play much AFL footy at the Blues. However Whiley proved in the VFL that he has seriously ability to find the footy, especially around stoppages. A club
needing midfield depth, in particular a player that can win contested ball consistently, could do with Whiley as midfield depth.
Clubs who should consider him: Hawthorn, Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, Fremantle
12. ELI TEMPLETON
Delisted by: St Kilda
Age: 21
Position: Midfielder
2016 AFL Numbers (2 games): 1 goal from 9 disposals and 4 marks
2016 VFL Numbers (18 games): 12 goals from 26 disposals, 6 marks, 5 inside 50s and 4 tackles
WAS seemingly set for a big debut season at St Kilda after an excellent five-game stint at the start of 2014. Then Templeton broke his arm — and barely got a
look-in at senior level from there, playing just eight games in two seasons. Templeton, though, continued to work hard for VFL-affiliate Sandringham in the
midfield, finishing equal-fifth in this year’s JJ Liston Trophy count with 13 votes. With a great work ethic, a knack for finding the pill and excellent
decision-making skills, Templeton could provide handy midfield depth.
Clubs who should consider him: Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns
13. DREW PETRIE
Delisted by: North Melbourne
Age: 34
Position: Forward/Ruck
2016 AFL Numbers (23 games): 27 goals from 11 disposals and 5 marks
BIG Drew was one of four Kangaroos veterans suddenly axed on the eve of Round 23 this year, despite playing every game for the club in 2016. Numbers wise,
Petrie might have hit the wall, but he seemingly has the passion to play on next year. He probably only has one year — two at the absolute maximum — left in
him, so if a club wanted him, it’d want to be right in the premiership window.
Clubs who should consider him: West Coast Eagles
14. ALEX WOODWARD
Delisted by: Hawthorn
Age: 23
Position: Midfielder
2016 VFL Numbers (4 games): 4 goals from 25 disposals, 7 tackles, 5 marks and 4 inside 50s
OF the 15 players on this list, Woodward is arguably the unluckiest. His talent is unquestionable, highlighted by his JJ Liston Trophy triumph in 2014 after
averaging 23 disposals and six tackles across the season for Box Hill. But three knee reconstructions in four years at Hawthorn meant the hard-nosed on-
baller constantly struggled for opportunities. All he needs is a second lifeline and some darn luck. Should he get both, he could surprise a few.
Clubs who should consider him: Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, Fremantle, Port Adelaide
15. NICK DAL SANTO
Delisted by: North Melbourne
Age: 32
Position: Midfielder/Wingman
2016 AFL Numbers (22 games): 6 goals from 25 disposals, 6 score involvements, 4 marks and 3 clearances
IN the modern-day game, accurate disposal by foot has never been more important. Dal Santo epitomises that, winning most of his footy on the outside but
hitting the target most of the time. He was heavily linked to Collingwood in the immediate aftermath of his shock delisting, but ex-Roos teammate Daniel
Wells ultimately got there before him. Going by his credentials and skill, he’d be a more than handy acquisition for a club needing a good ball-user off
half-back or on a wing. But Dal Santo’s passion to play on seems very limited.
Clubs who should consider him: Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Melbourne
Five other delisted players who could provide some value
Luke Lowden (delisted by Adelaide)
Jonathan Simpkin (Essendon)
Nick Kommer (Essendon)
Angus Litherland (Hawthorn)
Tom Lee (St Kilda)

Preety underwhelming list to be honest ;D
Would look at Richards for senior spot
Barlow perhaps but I just think he is too slow and as a side we are slow enough
Perhaps as a rookie?

Whispers around about Barlow to the Tiges,same manager as Prestia.

Given Hawks have delisted so many and have such crappy draft picks I expect them to pick up a few DFAs.
-
Preety underwhelming list to be honest ;D
Would look at Richards for senior spot
Barlow perhaps but I just think he is too slow and as a side we are slow enough
Perhaps as a rookie?
I wouldnt look at barlow personally, too slow and we're a slow side anyway. We're not in the right place for him, if everything went well and in a couple of years we were fighting for the upper reaches of the 8, he'd be nigh on finished.
I'd give Richards a go, probably be our 2nd best tall foward and/or 2nd best tall defender
-
Barlow perhaps but I just think he is too slow and as a side we are slow enough

You've certainly changed your tune....
Barlow cheap for a year or two anybody? Better depth than Townsend & Moore at the very least...probably still a better player than half our current midfield....Victorian as well....
Yep would certainly offer more than the 2 you mention
:shh
-
Richards should be a target 100%
Would be happy to pick up Barlow
And maybe even Lowden for ruck depth
Some other depth players there but I'd rather draft kids than pick up the likes of Everitt.
-
Eli Templeton looked the goods early on....but then again, so did Todd Banfield....
Remember a few people being keen on us taking Gach Nyuon in his draft year.
-
Also this is claws chance for RFC to grab Tom Lee. Him or Sutherland could be worth a look given how weak our KPP stocks are...
-
Ah yes, the great white hope Tom Lee.... :clapping

Things have changed since I posted that
Moore has gone :clapping
And more importantly we've bought in a quality mid In Caddy that none of us were expecting = better player than Barlow
So he is not required IMESHO

Not sure they'd want him for reasons outside of football :shh

Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor!

Congrats for calling it now not after the fact like some others
-
Litherland and Barlow for me.
Both would walk straight into our side if it were up to me.
Barlow is 28 and from what I have heard is a running machine and keeps himself in pretty good nic. He is a big body and a ball magnet, both things we need around the footy. Also our midfield depth is putrid so having him on our list will help. Fill our side full of mids and AFL standard KPP, move the ball quick and we may be a show.
Litherland is a goer, is 190cm tall, has elite pace and can break lines unlike Houli. Pretty simple

LOL Pathetic people dining out on a rookie pick that has not worked out.Thats where i wanted us to take him originally. Yep like most people ive got a few wrong but unlike most im prepared to put it out there rather than sit back like a coward taking cheap shots from the stands and add nothing to debates.Lot of pack animals here on this site but few lone wolves.
Given the time again i would still say give him a go because back then he ticked a lot of boxes unlike so many hacks we constantly recruit. Yep he didnt work out who gives a stuff theres plenty like him and there will be plenty more who fail for whatever reason.
Its funny butt hurt fools still trying to score points from a few instances from what 5 6 yrs ago i must have really stuffed with some peoples heads that after all this time they are still butt hurt.
It says an awful lot about them doesnt it.It actually says dont waste your time with them.
I dont even reply to those posters nowdays!!! i let em knock themselves out it is funny to watch. I give an opinion people can agree or disagree thats the way it is.ABUSE AWAY it wont stop me from giving my opinion and it wont stop people from listening to it.
-
Oh god it's Lone woof! As for pack animals, can't speak for them but I have heard rumors of a canine conglomerate or dog gang or something like that
-
Meant no offence claw I thought he was worth a shot back then too but I just remember you saying a few times you were keen on him
Like I said we need depth everywhere. Richards (genuine project player) would be a good pick up but Lowden, Barlow, Litherland and Lee could all be useful depth in the big areas.
-
Mitch Brown delisted by WCE might be worth a look
-
Hardly class Richards as a project player now.

Josh Green praised dumped coach Justin Leppitsch and said a fresh start would reinvigorate his career.
“I think being delisted kind of shocked me in a way - at an age I know my best football is ahead of me - if I’m given the chance at a new club I’m going to give it all I’ve got, so really looking forward to hopefully a fresh start somewhere,” he told SEN.
“Justin (Leppitsch) was great for me, he gave me every opportunity.

Explains why we are now interested in picking Green up as a DFA.

A fresh start with his old coach?
In other news, Jake Barrett from GWS has just been delisted - from all reports this kid's no Townsend and actually does possess some talent.... :shh

Ricky Henderson set to go to Hawthorn....

Ah yes, the great white hope Tom Lee.... :clapping
hahah I think we have picked up enough tom lees in our time we still have a bout 8 of them in our team know no deal his another average player.
the only one ud look at is Richards who would go straight into the team, brown as a back up fro rance and key defender but injury prone is the problem there
-
Whens the DFA period again? Now?
Yeah and yet you wouldn't notice would you?
Blokes like Michael Barlow, Mitch Brown, Xavier Richards, Angus Litherland, Luke Lowden all up for grabs.
Could add serious midfield, key fwd, key def and ruck depth here if we wanted to.

I'd probably pass on Brown, need depth but not injury prone depth.

There was a poster; username or Black I can't recall, who criticized our decision to take Griff over Butcher endlessly. Apologies if it wasn't either of them but Butcher was going to save the world at one stage.

Apparently they do. Whoever we get, I'm sure we will be "pleasantly surprised" that they were still available when we decided to pick them up
-
The lack of movement on our part for a kpd indicates they think we have a good back 6. I don't see it myself wot with Astbury only so so. Batchelor dropped. Grimes injury prone. Yarran a maybe. Elton 4 games markov 8. Short 16 games McKintosh coming back from injury. We could have a debacle of a backline were some combination of rance vlastuin or Houli to go down. It would be lead by Taylor Hunt omg.
-
Seems we are recycling our own duds this year.

Richards find a home?

Doesn't sound like it will be at TigerLand. I would have thought it prudent but maybe they rate Elton highly they just don't want to play him and they think Yarran is a definite.
-
Elton's a funny one, honestly can't see why he's still on the list except for a lack of depth but then there are plenty of options that offer more than he has. As you said, they must rate him to at least develop into something decent. Didn't hate his game against St Kilda (albeit I lost a lot of interest by that point in the season) not that he did much and that dropped mark was embarrassing. But then he stunk the joint against Sydney and got a blast on field from Cotch for a soft effort but then again everyone deserved a blast that game.

Training with Essendon....
