Bombers board seem very “mixed” on the Gresham deal.

Not sure anyone here should be too upset by the compo.

If Gresham turns into Henry plus a points pick (maybe dow?) then it’s not a bad piece of business from our side at the end of the day.

 

[BrutThough]

Following Gresham’s departure, the Saints have received pick No. 21 as a compensation.

The Saints draft hand now stands with picks No. 13, 21, 34 and 55.

“This compensation pick further enhances our commitment to the Draft, as we look to add to our pool of quality young players.”

Saints thank Gresham

After eight seasons in red, white and black, restricted free agent Jade Gresham will continue his career at Essendon.

Likely bluffing from SOS but the messaging is we intend to use the compo at the draft.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Ahhh the spin machine is in full swing

Go Clarky. Take all of it. No lube.

 

[Bertha]

This would be true if Essendon hadn't also been the most Essendon club this trade period

Increasingly difficult? Cornes should ask West Coast how they feel about the Tim Kelly deal - especially with hindsight, yuck

 

[PoppedCorn]

See ya eyebrows

 

[hangdog]

We now hold 34 and 55, which is the equivalent of 26.

GC holds 23 and 26.

I'd see if they're interested in those two picks for 23, knowing 23 will push back after academy bids and 55 will improve significantly. They'd still likely end up on points comfortably.

 

[The Boar]

Any chance of trading for Geelong's 1st now?

Out: 13, 21
In: 7, Future 3rd

 

[Saintbloke]

Keeler is the one I'm most excited about if he has the right minded set about footy he will be the diamond in the ruff.im just worried he just decided this professional athlete stuff is not for him and decides to just leave

Lyon needs to get inside his head- he could be a real game changer.

 

[Remboy]

how many years did gresham get?

There’s talk on the Dons board that it’s three with a trigger for an extra two. So possibly 5 years.

True story:
Gresh is kicking the ball straight ahead here.

Tom Morris just said he thinks a 3 team trade will happen today with Dogs, Blues and Saints. Dow to Saints, Coffield to dogs and picks flying everywhere.

Makes sense.

Interesting how quickly things can happen when clubs work together.

I suspect the pick we get for Coffield (pick 40) might be used with pick 35 to trade for Henry, with Fremantle flipping pick 46 back our way.

In terms of draft points, that values Henry at pick 30 (mid second round).

Those picks will be also be climbing up the draft order when GC use their 5 picks in the 20s and 30s to match bids for academy players.

They spelled **** wrong

 

[CaptainRisky]

You tell 'em big man

Someone has to do your job

 

[St Neil]

Thought Paddy Dow was a good pick up and Esava wasn't worth pick 24

He’s right on both counts.

It was a 60m bomb*

*Vertical meters only

 

[Mowman]

It was a 60m bomb*

*Vertical meters only

Yep 30 up and 30 down

 

[Sainter1873]

A higher compensation pick would’ve been nice but I’m glad we didn’t include Shiel in this deal. I’m happy to back in our current midfield group with the addition of Dow.

You know, I feel SoS has not been bluffing so far in the Trade Period.

Some Injector niff on TR just wanted to swap Peter Wright for Max King. They would probably want our pick 13 as well.

The positive ones there seem to think they are getting the version that we thought we were getting with that big contract, the explosive creative type.

Wait for the two steps and dump kick to the loose defender version to rock up for 4 out of every 5 games and watch the tone change

 

[Moral Decay]

The irony, between McKay, Goldstein and Gresh,
Goldy is the cheapest, they'll get better value out of him than the other two in the first year.
McKay the most expensive they need the most and they'll probably get the least value out of.
Gresh fills a a need but he'll hurt them just as much as he'll help.

On paper they all fill a need but damn that's an irresponsible use of $1.9 mil

 

[austinnn]

Can't believe the Bombers are paying Gresham $700K a year. A handy player but $700K??

We paid him more

Wait until he takes a bit of time and gets every kick smothered.
Then to make amends he sides steps into three tackles.
Burns every leading forward by taking shots from 50 that fall out on the full or in the arms of a defender.
Then sprays team mates who don't give him joe the goose goals.

 

[PoppedCorn]

No interest in billings from anyone?

Last trade to take place bit that contract of his is a problem

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Clearly 2023 was too much of a strain on Gresham being expected to play in September.
He'll be safe to book Sep holidays again now.
