Essendon love recruiting players that come with a lot of baggage.
To be fair, Oliver is not any old player. He would be easily the best player on their list. On most lists, in fact.

I don't know how bad the baggage is. But a player of his proven quality (26 years old, 2x Coaches Association winner) do not come up often.
 
Oliver is exactly the kind of midfielder Essendon have been crying out for. Oliver, Zerrett and Parish is a great trio.

With the reported interest of Melbourne in the Package then maybe something could be worked out there?
 
Reid vs Smith in a vacuum is easily Reid

but that's not the question here at all. The question is

Reid vs Smith + Watson/Duursma

(hypothetically of course, assuming both of these are possibilities)

If it's Smith + Duursma or Watson then we have to go with that.

No one else nervous if we offer our 2 firsts for Reid?

Lets say we go into the season and lose Sicily and Lewis for long periods of time, we could very well finish 17th.... Assuming West Coast are still the rabble they were this year

Essentially could be pick 3 and future pick 2 for one player who hasnt even played an AFL game yet...

That's the sorta deal you do for a Bont if he was leaving....

“The lesson is never try. Fear the worst.”
 
Reading these forums had me believing the Hawks were never particularly keen on Reid

I didn’t think we had any chance given the AFL are basically trying to hand him to North.

North still have to royally **** up for us to get him. They have 2, 3, F1, 14, 3 end of first round picks, and their F2 to work with. If they **** this up even with the AFL’s help it will be hilarious.

If we can get a deal done, he’s worth it.
 
Boy o boy if we could somehow snare pick 4 from gc whilst retaining our 1st and future 1st then we could really give Reid and Smith combo a crack
It would take a lot to get it done.

Pick 3, Brockman, DGB and Future 2nd to Eagles for 1 and Future 2nd?

Eagles might accept that? They likely won’t, also.


Future 1st and Eagles F2 to Dogs for Smith and their Future 3rd.

Not sure they’d take that either.


More likely is that we only get close to one of these bigger moves.
