Misson straight bat about Macrae. Nothing happening, could fall over. Doesn't know.
Same with Soldo. Seems like they DGAF.
So nothing happening.

I swear people say this every year and then just forget what the last one was like.This is the most boring trade period I can remember in ages. So far at least anyway
What if we're bottom four next year? It's not impossible. I get the swap if it's a straight swap but why throw in the 27 which is a nice pick in this draft.Our F1 will genuinely go back about 10 picks, that's how compromised next year's draft is, so its not the worst trade. Not sure if I'd include Membrey, I'd much prefer him to stay on a one year deal than to be running around for Essendon.
Personally I don't love F1 + 27 for 9, but it's about the mark of what the Dons will get offered. Melbourne are so keen to get back into this year's draft I could see them offering F1 + 28. As I've previously said, the Dogs, Geelong, Hawthorn, GWS could all offer similar deals.
That being said, a bid at #5 by the Dees seems too high, and they don't have the safety net of a second first round pick like we do in case Essendon don't match. That may dissuade them from bidding on Kako, and therefore they may lose a bit of leverage. From our perspective we have 7 and 8 to use, so our threat of bidding on Kako at 7 is much more realistic, and if we agree to not bid on Kako as part of the trade for pick 9, that gives Essendon a big points boost for when the bid does come later in the first round.

It's a risk worth taking in my opinion.What if we're bottom four next year? It's not impossible. I get the swap if it's a straight swap but why throw in the 27 which is a nice pick in this draft.
No current season stats available
It’s such an orchestrated media circus. Everyone knows no meaningful trades will get done until just before the buzzer. Even the media on TR are saying this. It’s become cynical viewing. Surely the fans catch wind and don’t bother tuning in until the final day next year.This is the most boring trade period I can remember in ages. So far at least anyway

Edmund also said we'd get Band 2 for Josh Battle.Sam Edmund seems to think 46 will likely get used on Soldo.
Unsure on what that means on Macrae but it won't be 27, possibly later future pick
Wow no mention of Peckett, perhaps we didnt mention him hoping he we can put him on the rookie list. With Cole and Hofmann possibly drawing attention from other clubs.
Im confident we will get the Macrae trade done, we are just playing ducks and drakes waiting for the pressure to come on them. You would think they would be keen to look after a player of 12 years service but it might come down to the last to blink wins. Next week when Macraes manager and Jackson himself get involved and start ringing Sam Power things will change.
No one knew what band we were getting, it was up and the air and that was his guess, same as many others.Edmund also said we'd get Band 2 for Josh Battle.
As far as the nuffies running Trade Radio go, he's probably the least in the know in terms of what clubs are thinking / doing
46 would be a good deal for Soldo. Future 3rd for Macrae.Sam Edmund seems to think 46 will likely get used on Soldo.

We're not bottom 4 next year. Against the top 4 teams this year:What if we're bottom four next year? It's not impossible. I get the swap if it's a straight swap but why throw in the 27 which is a nice pick in this draft.
Pick 9 is overrated anywayIf we want pick 9, we need to pay up. I'd suggest a club will probably offer more than F1 and 27. Either way, in this year's draft, pick 9 is worth more than our F1.
With any luck, we'll be able to wrangle a deal to grab an extra pick somewhere which would be used for Macrae.
F1 & 27 for pick 9 & Macrae is a deal most people would do. I know Jack Steele would sleep a lot better at night once Macrae is on our list

Edmund was the one that broke the story about Soldo hating Port from the minute he got there, so it sounds like he has a contact at Port (who are effectively using Edmund as a mouthpiece to say that they want 46) or within Soldo's management.No one knew what band we were getting, it was up and the air and that was his guess, same as many others.
I think he's definitely one of the better ones in terms of getting infor from club land and has been for years.
Coffield was selected the majority of the season for the Bulldogs when he was fit.Both Coff and Clark were tracking really well. Injury has basically destroyed their careers. Coff can’t seem to break into the bulldogs back line, in hindsight that was the wrong club to choose. He might be out of the afl next year.
Reports are the #1 pick is an academy player. Then McGuane FS to Collingwood going in the top 5.There's every chance our first pick could be top 5.
You can't say with any certainty that there will be 10 academy picks taken before then. It would be completely unprecedented by magnitudes.
Nobody has any idea what next year's first round will look like. As far as in aware, none of the underagers made the AA team like Reid did. When they were top agers in the under 16s they dominated the AA team, but if you go back through prior under 16's AA teams you'll see only about a third of them typically go on to be first round picks.
Yep, he's usually on the money with stories like that. Was the first to report the Bailey Smith to Geelong 12 months prior too.Edmund was the one that broke the story about Soldo hating Port from the minute he got there, so it sounds like he has a contact at Port (who are effectively using Edmund as a mouthpiece to say that they want 46) or within Soldo's management.
I'd be surprised if 46 is part of it given it seems to be central to the Macrae deal, but wouldn't be the worst outcome to get Soldo and Macrae for 46 + F3
