I don't understand this comment?
I clearly posted that he wants to stay at Essendon above all else and if he can't get his terms, then he wants to play for Carlton.
He lives in Brunswick so Im sure being able to drive ten minutes to training as opposed to Arden Street is appealing (unless he's being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more to do so - see Jake Carlisle).
This is the entire post I was responding to:
If you can tell me which part of this says "he wants to stay at Essendon above all else and if he can't get his terms, then he wants to play for Carlton", or something to that effect, then I can see why you wouldn't understand my comment. If not, then it should be clear that I haven't read every post in this thread.
So is his main priority to save ten minutes driving to work each morning?

With the retirements of Simpson and Kruezer you can add an extra 1.2 million to the million or so we had banked for next year.
With both being veterans isnt only 50% counted towards the salary cap. Think we front ended a bit over the years.
Thanks Mal. Disappointed it provides no evidence for the other poster's claims, however.

Pretty straightforward.. read first, comment second.
I see. Do you commonly read every single post in every thread, and memorise who said what? The post I quoted made zero reference to the previous one.

No but I also don't tend to call out other posters without first bothering to understand what they're actually saying.
Stand corrected Showing my ignorance
I didn't call out a poster, I had someone make an obscure reference to something they'd posted a page or two earlier without quoting it.
So Blues have secured Willams on a fat contract and want Saad who will also demand a fat contract.
That's a lot of money from the cap on 2 players.
Saad isn't a FA so Essendon will be asking a lot in trade.

Just like Gold Coast did with Martin who was also uncontracted.
You won't be getting Saad in the pre season draft
You won’t be getting the draft pick you want
A pick in the 10-20 range would do imo
Is that what the bombers offered GC?

In his three years at GC he finished top 10 in the B&F twice - an 8th and a 10th. In sides that won 4, 6 and 6 games.
In his first two years at Essendon he finished 4th and 3rd. In sides that we’re literally twice as good in winning 12 and 12 games.
Then last night he finished 3rd again.
I’d love to hear on what objective basis he was “playing better” at Gold Coast.

Uncontracted players don’t usually fetch much. Pick 15-20 probably does it.
Pick in the 20's iirc but he's become a better Player at Essendon so his trade value would increase
Three years younger.

Pick in the teens is fair for both parties. Carlton will split their first pick and on trade a pick 15 or so for Saad. In theory, easy. In practice....Dodo
And throw in Kenndy
