speaking of rookies, EI do you have any idea about what hapened to David Meli?

Caleb - David is no longer on our rookie list, however he is now training with the Coburg VFL side.

Wind blown,and hopefully not too wind burned :-) Will be good to see our Club receive the rewards hopefully (for not picking players well past their use by date..)with some of the selections, if not all,going on to having solid careers,and sharing the ultimate successes we all want to witness.. :-) Go You Young Bomber Rookies,be prepared for that call up to stake your claims for being a part of the Bombers' future :-) :-)

The more I see of Brendan Lee, the more I think he could be a round one start (if he can be promoted off rookie list). I can also see a midfield containing Kavanagh, Dalgleish and Merrett in the not too distant future. Our score against was 500 points worse than any other top 8 side. Good to see we have chased players like Balguly, Long who can build a stronger defence.

Same to you Mark, safe & happy xmas to you & family & all "Essendonites"

Will be interesting to see how these rookies compare alongside a muscled-up Ben Duscher in 2012.

Merry Christmas Bomber fans! And gee, haven't we received some good presents from the club lately? I can't wait to see the boys back out there again soon!

- Justin Millard (posted 20/12/2011 8:24:14 PM)

EI..like a zillion other people, I want to let the club know of future rookies to consider. All three have played for Australia in the indigenous Boomerangs side in 2010/11. How can I get this information to people at the club so they can take a look. All three will come under draft/rookie scrutiny in 2013/4, so why can't Essendon be front of the queue?

- Wesley Hull (posted 21/12/2011 2:32:15 PM)

Get these boys looking like and as hard as hessian bags jammed packed with walnuts! Make it so it hurts to hit them! And get Wes a stipend!
