So pick 4 (Zane) for pick 10 (Caddy/O'Sullivan) and Gresham compo pick 28 (21) (likely Morris/A Reid//Collard/Hastie/Lual types based on who was still on the board). Wouldn't say that's a great deal to be honest. Perhaps some other picks were involved.We are very lucky to have him tbh, as since the draft I heard the deal was all but done with Essendon and St Kilda that would have seen Duursma go to Essendon and we would have received their first pick Caddy/O'Sullivan as well as a beefed up St Kilda compo pick. Paperwork was being prepared.
Dodoro ****ed up the deal badly in it's final stages with some final demands. North and St Kilda pulled the deal.
McKay almost walked from Essendon to Hawthorn as well due to him, but was talked back around by Scott. The compo pick for McKay at this point was very much borderline Band 1 and Band 2, the s**t that Dodoro pulled ensured that McKay and his management had Vozzo add a few hundred grand into his 2024 player wages as a result to about face.
Was almost like Dodo tried to blow the joint up in his final trade period.
