Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Topiary]

Chol and Kosi are really so similarly placed in terms of market value - should be a simple three way trade.

I agree, but nothing is easy.

 

[eldorado]

In fairness if MM was doing the same thing we'd be calling him the best in the business

Chol and Kosi are really so similarly placed in terms of market value - should be a simple three way trade.

Agree, Chol is worth a little bit more, reflected in our 4 year deal v. Richmond's 3 year deal. But the difference should be a pick shuffle, as I noted earlier. Ie. We give Suns whatever we get from Richmond and then swap our pick 31 for their pick 36 as well.

Essendon going all in on the C+ players

Cooked Goldy, Cooked Gresham, McKay, Duursma

Wouldn't mind Duursma tbh - he's a solid player

The rest though I hope have a similar trajectory to Stringer.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Someone needs to replace Sleepy Mark's bottle of Melatonin with some Dexies.

 

[Topiary]

We could certainly use McKay and Gresham. Not world beaters, but solid players that would immediately improve our side.

It appears we are not prepared to pay at this stage. Or we are not yet sexy enough. Particularly to managers.

Let’s face it, it is going to be very hard to get out of where we are, despite being a good club, with a good coach and an improving footy dept and footy program.

When was the last time a player nominated the bottom club as their destination?
Nick Stevens?

2 years ago? CCJ nominated roos from tigers. This article has interesting take from Roos list boss Rawlings about how PSD wasn't really an option.

player managers have alot of influence ... rightly or wrongly essendon are seen as a young up n coming list. they have twice as many first rounders on the list. they were 5th I think in rd 17 efore shitting the bed (hooray)

just the state of play in general. we need to keep fattening the list with quality through the draft for another 1-2 yrs imo.

Sleepy and Rob have a plan.

Very happy that Karl considered us sexy enough.

That's the kind of free agent we want.

The guy is a weapon as it is.
If you throw dexies into the mix he'd be outright dangerous to all other clubs.

Yeah I'm just taking the piss, we all know Sleepy Mark doesn't need Melatonin to get them zzzz's in.

 

[Lickmesocks]

If North don’t get pick 3 it will be the greatest result ever.

Watching them try and trade for him will be pure gold.

 

[Kwality]

So no multiclub/player deal in the wind to snaffle #1?

 

[butlers hawks]

 

[Thorgils]

Essendon before, during and after using the "war chest"

 

[DrkNyt]

Can somebody turn off MMs snooze alarm

They've been up and coming for the past twenty years! If managers can't see through that by now, that's on them.

Day 1 completed.

Dodo is a good salesman to potential players and the promise of playing Anzac Day is a huge pull. It’s like getting to play a GF every year.

But let’s not pretend they’ve landed any big fish, nor anyone that strategic.

We all know someone who is great at picking up loads of average randoms, but struggles when it comes to quality…

 

[HeHateMe]

Surely we leave Massimo until late, price will go down as he becomes desperate to get players in.

Will ess have a bit of a list squeeze with all the players they are bringing in. Like you said we can leave it late they really don't have any leverage with this one.

 

[crazywildhorse]

It does really look like he just woke up for the interview

 

[Dewwwww]

Also if a trade for pick 1 does go ahead I wouldn’t expect it to be announced until the last 30mins on the final day.
There has been so much talk about Harley for the past 2 years that the AFL will hold that announcement to keep the trade week hype alive
