oh yes “I’ll break a story if I’m 70% sure”.
Bringing up Ross Lyon’s accusation (yet again) which he was cleared for was a disgrace. She is the lowest of low. Journo? 😂
I don't want to labor on the point because the deal is done but the news coming out on Trade Radio & Fox Trading Day say Essendon will trade pick 8 to Collingwood (who are supposedly desperate to get into the top 10) for pick 16 & next years first rounder. Surely not!
These "experts" on Trade Radio keep saying we only have pick 8 available to use for Saad YET in the same breath say that Essendon should take that Pick 8 and trade it to Brisbane for picks 18 & 19.

Of the past 7 pre-season drafts there has only been 5 players drafted, funnily enough 3 of those picks...

In reality if we offer Essendon our second pick or even one of the so-called split picks around 15-18 and say "take it or leave it" Dodo will surely accept it, albeit at the 11th hour. Dodo is under immense pressure and cannot let Saad walk for nothing. Bearing in mind he screwed up a golden...
