I'd take Moorcroft! He's a tough palyer and we need players like that.

Yeah, I'd take Moorcroft. And by the way I think we will win a flag before Brisbane.

Stuff Moorcroft. Good player in a great team. I prefer Tyson Lane. I want to keep Mal too, especially now we have missed Gehrig - might have some spare money to pay him now. If he must go, swap him for Bradshaw, not fat boy Molloy.

I would take Molloy and Moorcroft. We are a fairly skilled sidein our forward line and need some tough nuts down there.

Both Molloy and Moorcroft have a bit of mungrel and this will free up skilled players such as Tarrant, Leon Davis and co.

Word Up

Personally i dont rate Moorcroft very highly. Lets face facts he gets the worst backman everytime he plays up forward for Essendon.I dont think he could handle the pressure of playing on better backman. We already have Leon Davis and Brad Oborne should be given time.

My deal would be our first draft pick and T.Lane for Scott Lucas. Essendon always want a draft pick in the top 10 of the draft. We need quality players at the club and Moorcroft is not quality. As for Mal Michael he said he followed his heart. That means he keeps his heart in his wallet..............

peace out

Lucas, Tarrant and Molloy in the forward line. That doesn't sound so bad. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

I'm still not sure about giving up pick 3. I rate Lucas highly but I'm not sure. I think in the end it would be a gamble that would pay off. IF Collingwood did decide on swapping the 3rd pick and say Tyson Lane then I would stick by their decision. Remember Lucas has already showed he potential (especially against us) and at pick number 3 we might get a kid that will not fulfil his potential. But thats the risk we take.

Why not trade pick three and tyson lane for Lucas, when we traded pick 3 and king for Mckee? Seems obvious to me.

we swaped players and 1st round choices last year. we picked up Danny Roach with the No. 7( or Cool

selection. so! they got king and 3 and we got mckee and 7.

Must dash.
