What’s stopping Essendon from getting ahead of us and swapping Pick 6 for 2x Geelong First Rounders? Thereby forcing our hand with 7

Good thinking, but that's not going to happen.
Dodoro would have already fallen in love with what pick #6 may offer and to then cut his nose to spite his face.....not going to happen.

We give them 7 for Saad and a late first rounder, then use the last first rounder and next year's first for Oliver. Done and done.

Saad confirmed - source Carlton

thanks OR!

something, something goat?

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

heck the next few weeks will be painful. Essendon nuffies demanding Cripps (with maybe a late second rounder coming back). Carlton nuffies shouting “late third, take it or leave it”.

Its a bit late and a bit precious for Rohan Connolly and the like to be calling the club a carcrash. The rest of us knew it the day the lid blew off and if their supporters had been angry then at what their club had done to the game and to its own supporters, they might be in a better state now. It was always going to catch up with them at some point. And it will probably take them as long as its taken us to get serious about restoration and reparation.

Yep, karma's a bitch.

Rohan Connolly (along with Mark Robinson) was head of the Kool-Aid gang in the drugs “we all feel sorry for the players” scandal.

He’s only got himself to blame.

Imagine how a first round downgrade out of spite would reflect on a list management team that loses Daniher, Saad and god knows who else in the one trade period.

What if we don’t bend on 7 and Essendon loses Saad for nothing?

Unpalatable for members I would have thought.

 

[Bronze]

Anything in the first round is way overs for an out of contract 26 year old player who doesn’t want to stay at Essendon.

Essendon got Saad for a second rounder a few years ago....yes he is a better player now but he has maybe 4 good years left.

Take our second rounder and GTFOOH.

That would more likely force their hand to accept a 2nd rounder for Saad.

 

[TheNudist]

I reckon the club will offer up pick 27 and Kennedy for Saad. This would represent a very sensible trade to my thinking

 

[Forty3]

You'll know if you watch Essendon week in and week out. You may not realise it now, but you'll realise why when you're 4 points down with 2 minutes to go.

He gives 100% from start to finish and holds the whole backline together every single week he plays. He's a great pick up.

Sounds like the right person to take Kade’s number 6 to me. All heart, with a nice left peg to boot.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Mm I feel all warm and fuzzy reading that.

First real acknowledgement by the Essendon media mafia that their Rome is burning.

 

[F_therest]

Works the same for all parties in the end.

 

[slowhand clape]

All the * fans I know are realists. They were furious at the saga and at Hird and have been calling for a rebuild for years.
No Kool aid drinkers in the lot.
i really feel like I’m missing out!!!

 

[Benaly28]

Well done Forty3/OR/Reg

Great info.

Carlton has secured Adam Saad by offering a five-season deal worth $650,000 a season despite Essendon’s last-ditch bid to secure the defender over the weekend.
Essendon captain Dyson Heppell spent time reinforcing the club’s direction and premiership potential with uncontracted defender Adam Saad over the weekend.

But Carlton has been told by Saad he will come to the Blues after weeks of speculation about the half back’s future at Essendon.

 

[Burgers45]

The biggest take away from the reaction of * supporters is how much they rate Saad. None are taking the “he’s no good, have him” road.

All genuinely crushed.

It seems like Rutten had a different role for him next season, believed to be a more forward and lockdown role, in preference to his preferred role as halfback running/attacking defender. With Simmo's departure from us this year, there is a perfect opening for this type of player at our club now.

not much taste left after the shit sandwich woosher, dorito & co have served up.

 

[CJMB]

Saad is a gun player. His defensive skills are underrated as well.

In terms of pure value as a player, he is worth pick 7, but I doubt we will give them that considering he is not contracted.

He’s not, not even close.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Can’t see how pick 27 doesn’t get it done. It’s not a nothing pick and it’s a fair pick. Nothing extra.
Dodo can GAGF is he doesn’t accept it.

 

[Curnowhan]

It’s a bit like how many reckon were there to watch cathy freeman live at the sydney olympics.

I watched her win live - live on Channel 7

 

[Just Kreuzing]

What's happened? Been at work. Ffs.

Saad day for *
We need AFL to now extend trade week to a quarter of a year to get Dodoro to agree a trade scenario.....
