Interesting that this has come out on the eve of their first final in 3 years.
But he's asked the club to be moved and his club of choice is Brisbane Lions.
Lets see what happens.... _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

Yes, but I think he wants to get to QLD.
Family or girlfriend up there?
If he's open to any other club, then we must call. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

They must have offered him big bucks.
Like us Essendon don't generally lose players they want to keep.

Hird comes back, a week later Ryder apparently requests a trade.
Curious, no? |

True, but at the same time Winderlich decides to go round again. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

I'm not sure whether to treat this as a serious potential move. The Lions would be mad to take a player from the Bumblers, given the outstanding ASADA issues. Personally, I'd be spitting chips if Collingwood was trying to recruit anyone from Essendrug (who was there at the relevant time) before all of those investigations and associated processes are complete. |

I used to be undecided, but now I'm not so sure.

They already have Leunberger & Stefan Martin. Doubt they need another first choice ruckman. |

Wait to see offical word on this.....would be a huge loss for the Bombers, he is a great player. Would love him at the pies...and he is good enough to play as a forward alone. But no way we have the cap space.... _________________ "To know nothing of events before your birth, is to forever remain a child" - Cicero (Roman Lawyer/Senator) 46 BCE. |

Lions are on the record as having big dollars looking for big fish. I'm sure they've made him a big offer. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'

Pretty sure I heard he was still contracted for a couple more years.
Can't imagine this will unfold. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Could walk out mid-contract and the Bombers would get nothing...
Quote: | Essendon star Paddy Ryder could quit the club at the end of the season with his management looking at triggering a new breach-of-contract clause that would allow him to walk as a delisted free agent.
The contracted 26-year-old's preferred alternative club is the Brisbane Lions, with his management optimistic Ryder could walk away from the Bombers because the club seriously breached its duty of care to the player.
While no player has yet challenged Essendon by invoking the clause, Ryder's departure would be a massive setback for the club. Unlucky to miss the All-Australian squad this season, Ryder in 2012 signed a four-year deal worth a reported $2 million.
The Bombers are still under investigation by the Victorian WorkCover Authority for possible breaches of health and safety practices during their supplements program.
Now reaching the midway point of that deal, his club could lose Ryder for nothing should he attempt to successfully demonstrate Essendon let him down.
The AFL Commission earlier this year passed the new rule, which was pushed by the players' union as a result of the Essendon drugs scandal, after the AFL Players' Association's mid-term review of its collective bargaining agreement.
Ryder has reportedly held fears of the health risks potentially inflicted on him and his family as a result of the club's so-called "pharmaceutically experimental environment". His partner, who last year gave birth to a boy, has a Queensland background. |

Why would anyone pick up any dons player with a ban of up to 2 years hanging over their heads? _________________ All this may be summed up in one word - CHARACTER - and if that is not worth developing, nothing is.

Conflicting reports on Jake Carlisle wanting out now.
He's a perfect fit for us.
They're saying if the player accepts their guilty plea, they will serve a short ban (as short as a month) and be able to walk out on Essendon as a FA.
Therefore a high bid could land an Essendon player caught up in the saga. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |
