Absolutely not. Pick 7 will be earmarked for an A-grader (Wines, Merrett, Kelly) or an 18yo midfielder in the ND.
Pick 25 “should” get it done....we might even need to swap some later picks around. Remember Saad is out of contract so Essendon can’t play hardball like we did with Gibbs 4 years ago.
Love your work TODN
Thank ODN , appreciate your update.
Agree with you our 2nd rounder should be ok with a sweetener may end up closer to pick 30 though? there may be some anguish but it should eventuate and Saad us a good addition address our lack of zip in defence

what did doc and Marchy do in their first season? Nada. Saad is coming from three top three bnf finishes. Ready made and ready to go. You want ready made talent you somewhat pay
TCP has already said we are trying to trade pick 7 and a third rounder for 2 x 1st rounders from Geelong.
Pretty obvious the idea is that one of those picks which would be around 15-18 would be for Saad. It's a compromised draft and also doesn't sound like a 2018 superdraft...some people a little too focused on the number of the pick or that its a '1st rounder'.

Thanks ODN
Or it could be with Brisbane who have 18&19 and might want 7 for Jodie.
Thanks

Honestly feel like we can make a play for top 4. Brisbane did it in 2019

One person I hope the club is keeping tabs on is Will Sutherland.
Would have been a top 5 selection in the Paddy Dow draft I believe.
Has Blicavs type versatility. Not really setting the Cricket world on fire even though it is still really early doors.
With uncertainty around international travel you would assume less opportunities to play in the 20 20 leagues so earning potential is not what it normally is.
Potential Cat B rookie down the track.

We'll be beating ourselves up if we couldn't sort out a trade with * over Saad.
As annoyed as I'd be to lose 7 over an uncontracted player, I'd be even more annoyed if we couldn't get a trade completed and he goes elsewhere.
If players nominate us, we just need to make it happen.

They were both 1st round picks.
no shit but they weren’t ready made or performing. To be fair marchy still hasn’t

Wanted setterfield first that period, age profile mostly but I think Shiel would have been a different player with us. If dons ever got a proper inside midfielder he'll look much better I reckon
nah mate keep him at the renegades
did alright last season
It was obvious before it became obvious
Geelong would know what it's for and if they choose to go down that path (and I think they would) they may be inclined to ask for a little more also.
Maybe a swap of seconds this year or next.
If no Saad though..........no deal
Made 154 in a shield warm up game a couple of days ago and took 2 fa. He has a bright future and will play the whole season at state level this year. Better player than alex keath to try and compare
Him and cameron green are the nex gen of all rounder for australia. They will get plenty of opportunity to show their wares

let’s make a similar trajectory to where doc and marchy were at at the time. Jackson hately per se, pick 14 ish from two years ago.
who makes a better impact at Carlton next year?
Hately or Saad?
Who costs more?
it’s not rocket science, our window is opening. You pick the ready made player and pay if you have too

Can't agree with that. There's always a tipping point.
What if they said they wanted 2 x first round selections + Sam Walsh. Would you be pissed off if we decided to walk away?
Draft currency is limited. The TPP is limited. Teams that win flags tend to be the ones that manage and get the best value out of both of these.
Lets not lose our minds here. He's a 26 year old HBF with probably 4 good years of football left in him.
If the Dons want pick 7, we should walk away from the trade. There will be other options available to us.
