Essendon Off Season Updates and Discussion Thread

[silloc]

with the lack of draft picks, in hindsight it's good we had that clean out last year.

[woofy]

pick 22  ::)

[DazBurg]

Unlike Chapman, Montagna will cost the Bombers a lot.

St. Kilda are also after high draft picks, so.........

I know I know, but St Kilda were also very keen on Myers or Pears, can't remember which one now, but I could see that and something else to go through. St Kilda are on the rebuild, so I can see it happening, bright future, but terrible right now

I'd say pears, he's the only one we haven't openly said he's a required played

i heard he was being resigned about a week ago

and lets not forget saints were chasing myers
i wanna keep myers damnit

[silloc]

in all honesty, i'd prefer not to take montagna. I like out policey of retain over acquire. but chappy is a must

yeah Montagna would just push out Howlett/Myers from the team, unless we could get him for Pears which just wouldn't happen although not as one sided as you'd think

[enzedder]

Forget about Montagna. Not going to happen. Laughable IMO.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Even if the Saints want Myers, it would take a lot more than that to get Montagna.

[specky92]

Myers + Pears for Montagna + Late first round pick? Wouldn't happen though as saints want to keep their first rounders

[JBs-Hawks]

Myers + Pears for Montagna + Late first round pick? Wouldn't happen though as saints want to keep their first rounders

Montagna is worth Myers + Pears alone

[specky92]

Myers + Pears for Montagna + Late first round pick? Wouldn't happen though as saints want to keep their first rounders

Montagna is worth Myers + Pears alone

turning 30 in less than a month, Myers 6 and a half years on him and Pears has over 7

And Tags is an elite who Saints dont need to trade.

[specky92]

I can see Montagna wanting to leave now that Saints have gone into rebuilding mode

[enzedder]

How's that Montagna trade working out?  8)
Got him yet?
Gives you something to talk about I suppose.
How about you offer the Saints LovettI mean pick 116 for him as it will be in line with past Essendon trades with the Saints.

[Bill Manspeaker]

sums it up 8)

[silloc]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't he an unresstricted free agent that can do what ever he wants? hence no trading is needed
