Why rush we have got until next Thursday if we want to. We may find a better player to use it on. Saad wants to come to Carlton so lets see what we are left with next Thursday.
I'd be amazed if this deal is done before then.

Completely agree. Time is our friend, worst case no deal is done and Saad spits out into a draft. Essendon lose all compensation and there is a small chance we don't get Saad but it's highly unlikely. Despite all the media we hold more power here than the Dons, they need the pick and risk getting nothing at all. Cats are going to need a high end pick for Cameron and there will be a least one other looking to upgrade, no rush.
Blues 2nd rounder + Dow for Saad and future 2nd rounder would be fairer.
It’s a gamble for blues as dons could surprise a few sides next year

So Dow is more valuable than Saad on exposed form?
no, however Dow has a lot of upside.
Dons may rise up the ladder next year, taking their future 2nd rounder is risky
Would hope we go nowhere near Dow. We have enough mids that can't kick, but at least they know how to find the ball.
Looking like a massive bust at the moment.

That trade values Dow above Saad, unless you assume EFC finishes above Carlton, which still values Dow close to Saad.
I’d have guessed a 2021 First for Saad + a pick would be Dodoro’s goal given that would offer currency Bulldogs might be interested in.

No. No. No. Dow will have a better career than Saad. Count on it.

You don’t give up a player like Dow after an Injured year with what he showed year 1. Watch how gd he is in 2021. Do not move him out carlton. Regret will follow. (See Tom Mitchell).
Me too. Not the time for Carlton to be trading out young players. This trade should get done with picks alone.

Essendon keen to walk Caldwell to the PSD but the Saad camp (not Carlton) merely mentioning the option = negotiating in bad faith.
Interesting.
Interesting.
and everything an AFL journo puts on twitter is 100% truth 100% of the time.
Wouldn't it be a great result all round if they both nominated for PSD....everyone's gotta be happy with that!!!
Essendon get their man, Carlton get their man, and no draft picks had to be traded along the way
Edmunds has been proven to be completely making things up multiple times this week alone. But by all means believe whatever makes you happy

So are we on or not? Carlton won't give Essendon a first rounder?
Yes we offered 8 but wanted change. It was rejected. Looks like you will now be offered 18 take it or leave it. When will Dodoro lean the world does not revolve around him.

All I read was 'Carlton have contacted a journalist to try and boost leverage against Adrian Dodoro'.
You’re not getting next year’s first. Pick 18 for saad take it and run
PSD, like you did with Martin last year and we get Saad on a small wage
Essendon aren't afraid to let things go if they don't get what they want.
Nah. Future first
