Position General Discussion

I've just noticed an anomaly with the countdown clock on the supercoach website. If I keep the page open but switch to another tab on google and then go back it shows it counting down but from the time I left the tab. When I refresh the page it adjust to the correct time left. I was thinking I had 44 minutes left but it was really 33 minutes!!!

Have had the same thing happen on the odd occasion, just another thing to keep an eye on

It's been happening most of the season. Need to hit refresh each time you go back.

Yep, I got caught out by that early in the season - stuffed up a trade I was planning to make (mentioned it at the time). Always look at an actual clock!

 

[IDIG]

That's scary!

SuperCoach site being incredibly slow/not working for anyone else?! Need to make a trade before 7:25...

There's talk Essendon are talking to Dusty's management....i'm not even sure i could find a meme or gif that would sum how i feel about this. Probably a long shot but if we could find a measly $1M a year in our cap without it affecting deals with our other out of contract starts, how good would it be with a supercoach midfield of Zerret, Heppell and now Dusty!

Makes a lot of sense to me... Whether it happens is another matter, but Zerrett, Heppell, Parish, Zaha, Mcgrath, Martin, Fantasia, Walla and Colyer all fighting for mid spots would be monstrous.

Not sure I'm as happy as you.

We should be keeping cash aside to lock up blokes like Fantasia/Parish et al.

Yep. Like the list we're building.

Yep I'm happy enough with our current mids and list. If anything, throw some money at a KPF to partner Joey. Big flow on effect which allows Hooker to go back into the defence.

Yeah i agree as long as it doesn't affect anyone else's contract of course.

He's a rare beast though, can play on the inside and out and is as dangerous close to goal as he is running through the midfield. Durable and has neck tatts. I don't know what else you'd want tbh . He'd turn us into serious contenders as soon as 2018 imo.

I wouldn't mind a ruckman.

I wouldn't mind a ruckman.

Imagine if we still had Ryder putting it on a silver platter for Heppell, Merrett and Watson?
Another effective target inside 50 too.
Gosh I miss him in red and black

Crows have gotta throw their hat in the ring here i reckon Idig. With Danger gone and the salary cap going up soon they've gotta have $1.2-$1.4m a year to play with..... And to finish your thought bubble how good would a Supercoach midfield of Sloane, Matt and Brad Crouch and Dusty be??

While i don't disagree, i dont think they've been a key ingredient to grand final success over the years, and i'm not sure who's out there (and worthwhile).

Interestingly, we were originally targeting Lobb the year we drafted Zerrett. Zerrett was a last minute decision by all reports. I'll see if can find the article but how different things could have been!

I have read that too. I'm bloody glad Dodoro and Thompson picked Zerrett over Lobb. Could Crameri come back to the dons? Was playing in the 2s and now out for the year with injury.

I love how this thread has shown how many of us Essendon supporters are on here hahahaha!

I agree, Martin would be great for our midfield, especially, if this is Watson's last year. (I hope not, but not sure how long he will continue)

There is also just a thread somewhere for Essendon discussion haha.

 

[bomberboy]

For the time being, I feel Stewart will partner Joey well. Hooker needs to end up in defence, Hurley and Hooker will blanket teams.

 

[Herbie66]

sure I read something where Choco recommended Dusty not go anywhere near Adelaide or Port due to the over kill and media saturation.

I am sure all clubs will be offering , maybe at the Saints with Fyfe.

Swanny might get him to the Pies.

Could you imagine the media blowup here if he went to port. They wouldn't know what to do with themselves!
