Thinking again of the Tom Boyd comments of how the Dirty Dogs were guilty of tampering by meeting with him and offering him the 7 million dollar deal whilst in contract as an 18yo 6 months into his time with us.
Wouldn’t it be nice to exercise a bit of pay back and offer Luke Darcy a 10 year deal worth 15 mil.
Even if he was 100/1 on to stay just to really screw them and their cap it would be very satisfying.

I think if we took that Pick Essendon may have asked for it in the Stringer negotiations, provided he’s still keen.
Does anyone know anything about Josaia Delana? One of three from our academy to be invited to the state combine. Given I haven't seen anything about him I don't think he's likely to be picked up, but was just curious to know a little more about if he might get picked up in the rookie draft / cat b listing.

Both our Cat B spots are filled at the moment, but presumably we can put him into the Cat A rookie list instead. Given that we have 3 spots to fill, Paton looking to be one, I would think there's a good chance we will select Joey there.
Aggressive, hard-tackling midfielder ... the only knock is really just his height.

Too tall?
I've seen Delana a few times in the VFL.
He's been used mostly as a small forward. I think he's 175cm - same as Jones.
Quick (a big plus), has solid skills (not sure if he's a good kick on both feet) and good goal sense.
I can see him being Rookied and continuing his development.

I wonder If we target Melbourne or Easendon F1 that Essendon have. If so, which one do we prefer ( I assume would be live traded after Kako is bid on).

A race to the bottom.
Might depend on whether Clarry stays or goes from Demons ... though now I'd say I'm unsure which of those options makes Melbourne worse!

They could believe that they're getting a future first from Geelong ... but you are more likely to be right.
So, who's first rounder would you prefer?

Yep. They want to give him a 4-year, $600k p.a. deal ... but don't want to pay the exit fee. Guess this is going down to the wire.

Future second is reasonable. Current Crows offer of two future thirds is rubbish.

He is uncontracted so in limbo. Will only get re- signed if Essendon don't use many picks in the draft.

Dealing with Adelaide is always hard. They want players they value...but then don't want to pay any value to get them.
'in good faith' meaning....not that.

They really are pigs to deal with. If it’s not a straight 2nd rounder then seriously start talking to other teams or send to draft.
