That type of negotiation is so old-school, tiring and ultimately pointless.

Austin should simply set the bar with it being pick ~#16 odd and that's what will be paid, either to Essendon or in the draft.
State that we'll be trading #7 out, if that's already on the cards and any talk of the #7 is now non-existent.
I do though think that should that #7 walk out for Saad along with Kennedy, and something coming back to us (future second) that the EFC would be very happy.

I still don't blame Dodoro entirely though as he did his job getting the player they wanted to the club, yet the club didn't do what it had to do, to keep the player and now it's back on Dodoro to make good out of a bad situation.
Nah don't even tell him, just trade 7 out before you even get in the room with Dodo.

Not that interested in Hunter

Has minimal hurt factor

Yeah could argue that one of our current players could develop enough to play the Hunter role...Hunter is no match winner, just a good, handy addition.

Richmond has a few stars and them mostly role players...I reckon we could grow our own who would be a lot cheaper than Hunter.
If we were to add another role player make it cheap/free like Newnes...otherwise go for someone who really can change and enhance our play like Williams and Saad will.
 
Just remember bombers have a pick before us in the psd.
Exactly. This is why the National Draft is the go. Split pick 7 and say to Dodo 'here is a late first rounder, if you don't want it we will use it to draft Saad and you get nothing, your choice'. No club, including * would be stupid enough to pass on a promising youngster in the first round of the draft to pick up a 26 year old, with a big price on his head who doesn't want to be at the club.

How does selecting a player like DeGoey sit alongside our Carlton Respects message? I don’t think it does. Would love the player, but the shitstorm that could come with it, ie hypocrisy, could damage a very worthy platform. I was a Yes, now I’m a No. And to the opposing view, yes ‘Innocent until proven guilty’, but some stench will always stay, that’s human nature.

Let’s go after the angry redhead shall we. Or pull another brick out of the * wall.

Agree with all of that. Also I'm not sure that our culture is strong enough yet to withstand an influence like him.
 
Which three of Cripps, Walsh, Williams, Weitering, Docherty, Charlie and McKay are you leaving out?

You can add Jack Martin to that list.

Wow, we really are assembling a team of some serious talent :)
