Hot tip. The EFC probably couldn't give a stuff what you think about them. Trying to get the best deal for the club is hardly damaging.
Traded Adam Saad [traded to Carlton with #48 and #78 for #8 and #87]

Ah right. So what would you pay then? A third rounder?

I'm willing to pay pick 28 - close enough but yes, value is mid 30's. Remember out of contract and walked. So I'm generous...

Overs. Dude has barely played in 2 years. Cooked?
Does the fact that your valuation is quite far off from 99% of others (and what reportedly is being offered) make you wonder just a bit?

You think Charlie is held in the same value as Saad?
Ok - i'm done here. I think this discussion will somehow get me in banned by the very biased mods again. You guys can keep going...

Would that be the Charlie Curnow who has a contract and hasn't walked out on his club firing parting shots on his way out?
Just more dick measuring in here, yep, that's BF!
You probably need to learn to take a joke. Might help lower the blood pressure a touch.
Nope, Saad actually gets out onto the park

Well, Saad has played more games, to a higher level, over a longer period. Ergo, more valuable than Charlie right? If Saad is only worth a pick in the 30's then Curnow can't be worth anything more than our 3rd round selection.
Bye.
Didn't mind Dodoro chatting yesterday. Thought he spoke quite well.
Even though, I still feel pick 8 is far more than Saad's value at the moment, mainly due to his OOC status. Think a pick in the late teens is more than enough, but yeah if we can't split pick 8, pick 8 for Saad + a future second seems fair to me.

He's knocked it back just as surely as Adelaide have matched Crouch and the 50000 other rumours that Journos report as fact.
Hence the sticking point.
Saad is OOC, nominated CFC as preferred destination, requested his remuneration and both parties have agreed on package.
EFC are no longer involved, CFC is just giving Bombers some face value, Dodoro’s nonsense is due to AFL ‘s meddling.

Do Essendon supporters think that pick 8 for Saad is realistic (I’ve only read the last two pages)?
If you think that a straight swap is what’s required, why wouldn’t we send him to the draft and take him at 8?
There needs to be some incentive for us to trade, despite what you think we don’t need to. And before you say you’ll redraft him, do you really want to waste a pick that has value to you?

Loose at HB
Professional Melter
So he wants Pick 8 as a straight swap for an OOC flanker. Classic Dodo
If the Blues cave in and hand that over Essendon can absolutely claim to have “won” the trade but if he’s really rejected 8 for Saad + 48 I’d be telling Adam to nominate for the ND. Ridiculous

Because football clubs aren't children. They're professional sporting organisations -I can't imagine something like that going down well with the rest of the competition (Regardless of who was doing it).
Sure, if a team wants more than you're willing to pay there are other options, but using the exact pick you refused to trade? Madness.
Also would not believe a word that Sam Edmund says.
Fwiw no I don't think he's worth 8 in a straight swap, and would be more than happy giving back 48 (I'd expect us to have to give back a 2nd).
