Do we still think we're top 4 or 6. Bewildering. Even Higgins was a no-no for most....and he's still just 26.
I understand your point, but IMO his age is way beyond this been acceptable. Can't we just let Lloyd and Gordon develop.....bloody hell.
Didn't see this one coming. As long as he is cheap I'd grab him with open arms. Is quick, has good goal sense, not easily pushed off the ball for a smallish guy and is more than competent overhead. However, isn't young and has had continued injury issues. It's more the circumstances of him wanting out I find quite fascinating. Obviously not a Hirdite. Essendon will probably want Cotch, lids, Dusty, Flossy, Rance in exchange.
Has played some good games against us. I'm a bit skeptical given his age and injury history, but may be a cheap replacement for King/White. It might be sacrilege to say it, but I'd sooner he gets a game than Newman on 2014 form. And he comes without a SCN.
You can't compare him to Higgins. Totally different types of players.TigerForce said:
No doubt his body holding up is the big unknown but he brings much needed pace to our team.
High risk - high reward proposition.
A 29 year old with a history of injuries????......not sure the long term vision is with this one....god help us if we pay overs like we did with Hampson last year....
Won't happen that way. Essendon will use the contract extension as leverage.TigerForce said:
Hopefully they grow a conscious and allow him to move for a late pick.

low risk in that he will cost us peanuts and he is good enough to be in our best 22 easily, low risk because he will walk in and be the 2nd quickest player on the list. This one is a no brainer

Yep, good example, Dew fulfilled an immediate need and was only ever expected to be around for 2 seasons, Winderlich is no different. Clubs do this all the time when the window is open, we lack pace and we can potentially get a quality player on the cheap.
Smoking Aces said:
He'd be OK if we were a top 4 or 6 primed for a flag, but we're not. Why doesn't he just walk out and claim free agency?

Chappy is 3 years older and has lost a yard, their seasons were also comparable in terms of impact.
