Title: Should we Target Essendon Players?
Post by: Rampstar on August 23, 2013, 12:03:12 AM
Considering that some of Australia's highest qualified Employment Lawyers are saying that Essendon players can walk out on their contracts should we consider trying to get 1 or 2 out of the dump that is Essendon.

For me we should target David Zaharakis at least

Legal experts believe there is a strong case to say that Essendon's alleged failing in providing a safe workplace would allow the players to terminate their contracts - in effect, enabling even those under contract to leave the club if they wished to exercise that right.

Heppell is just what we need

TBC

would offer him 400k

He is a good ruckman IMO and would be a great replacement for Ivan

Definitely NOT! When ASADA or WADA impose mandatory 2 year bans on the 38 or so Essendon players who took part in the club's systematic injecting program, we would be investing in the very definition of a "list clogger" if we were to target any of them.

I don't see why not, if they had taken illegal substances and I do mean IF, then they probably didn't have a choice.
In saying that Watson (obviously talented) is getting a little long in the tooth so younger fellas like Zaharakis, Heppel and a few others would be a good choice for any other club. The two mentioned would fit well into the Tigers I reckon.

That's a big no thanks from me ! They're all crap. Besides , anyone Richmond has ever recruited from Essendon over the years has been totally pox. Alan Noonan , Steve Taubert , Andrew Underwood , Mark Eustice , Michael Thompson , Justin Blumfield , Tom Hislop , Bachar Houli , Tom Lonergan.
 Bloody Hell ! what a bunch of hacks. Essendon always hoodwink us on that score.

According to bomber fans they'd be happy to do a Pears for Dusty trade.

Would take Ryder or Bellchambers. Even Crameri.

Ryder is the weakest , softest , and possibly most overrated player in the AFL. Pass.
Bongchambers just got omitted this week. Omitted from a team that's bottom four in the AFL at the moment on current form. Pass
Crameri can play a bit but is a shocking kick for goal. Pass

Yep , there are lots. Just not at Essendon ( apart from Watson )

Let's be honest, these wankers have plenty of good players. Would love Hurley at CHB and The Chamber of Bongs in the ruck. And Jake Milkshake so Vickery can punch his annoying stuffing head in at training

Would need Hurley to get on a program of anti obesity before I would consider

Surely not? They'd want our 1st pick too as a sweetener

Hurley would be good for us in our structure especially at CHF.

Zaharakis and Bellchambers for me.
An outside player who can use it, run and kick goals and another genuine ruck/fwd. :thumbsup

Daniher name is an institution at Essendon. Won't be going anywhere.
Stanton nope.
Comparing the two, Zaharakis has more upside and IMHO more damaging and much younger too and more leg speed around the ground. Excellent outside player.
Bellchambers just adds quality to our ruck stocks and gives Ivan a quality chop out and can go forward and be damaging.

Zaharakis kicking the winning goal there is you run from midfield the speedy running on the outside and there is your finish.
He has done it before and will do it again.
We will be a 3 goal better side per game not because he'll kick 3 but because we'll get decent speed run and carry and excellent disposal which will create those extra goals.

Ditto Tucky. Id' take Zaharakis in a heartbeat if he wanted to leave Essendon and come to Richmond. We know he doesn't like needles either  ;D.

If his last tweet is anything to go by I don't think he plans in going anywhere too soon.
