ESS threatening to walk Caldwell to the PSD after a placing a massive lure to want out of GWS. Sounds like the PSD is good enough return for one of their OOC players in A. Saad.

If it’s good for the goose....

 

[Zuribagger]

Perhaps we could possible make a 3 way deal with GWS in that situation. Given that they'd be looking at a late first rounder for Caldwell, we could split pick 8 for two late firsts with one of the teams that have those picks (Geelong, Brisbane, Collingwood).
Then we could do something like this:
Carlton - In: Saad, late first rounder Out: pick 8
GWS - In: Late first Out: Caldwell, Late pick
* - In: Caldwell, Late pick Out: Saad

If * refuse then GWS won't be giving up Caldwell for a 2nd rounder from *, knowing they could have done something like this. * will then be forced to pick Caldwell up in the PSD meaning they can't get Saad like they've been threatening to do and we take him for free

You make a lotta sense Chewbacca.

 

[ParapMarkets]

I’m interested in what’s going on with the Oliver situation. 10 days or so ago we had a bunch of our ITKs confirm Oliver wanted to come to us. Seemed like a resounding yes that he had requested that but would not say anything unless it could come to fruition.

Gone all quiet after that info filtered through. I still hope it’s true. Pies dealing a couple of theirs to other clubs or the Saad deal will break the deadlock/be the dominoes that allow things to happen i think. First 3-4 days is always slow.

I think it is fair to say that the Oliver fantasy has just about run its course. Predictable from the outset

 

[Big Delut]

Remember that rumours earlier in the year about Pickett potentially training in the preseason with us? Is that still on the cards?

That was a fake rumour. Someone messaged Pickett on social media and he confirmed that he knew nothing about it

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Incorrect. They already have two firsts this year. If they use two they’ve satisfied the afl rules. 2 in 4.

Ahh ok, my mistake.

Would be a really good deal for the Dogs!

* will finish bottom 4 next year and they can probably cover losing Dunkley.

Can't see * trading out next year's first though.

 

[Thehurdle]

Anderson may not be a fringe player at North, but is he really someone we should be going after? He had a huge standoff last contract to eek out every last dollar out of North and is doing the same this time around. Pickering knows their salary cap is flush with cash and is doing his best to help his client.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, their careers are short and they have the right to cash in while they can. But I don’t think he will be that cheap in a trade or in salary as I have seen a few suggest. To me he is just another guy who isn’t all that good anywhere but midfield. We have Williams to help our midfield and I just see someone like Anderson getting in the way of the development of one of our youngsters.

Agree with that. Price important.

Yep. Amazingly went through at 4.46 a.m. just as you were posting this.

 

[reubs1066]

I'd love to reverse Jedi Dodo and swoop in, & offer the Dogs something better than the Dons. How good would Dunkley be in the guts with Crippa & Co

No question Austin would be having a chat but too exxy?

 

[Ash24]

I think it is fair to say that the Oliver fantasy has just about run its course. Predictable from the outset

Melbourne never really wanted to let him go

 

[myblueroan]

Get a new postman.

Postperson?

 

[BOSOJSOSAGSOS]

He’s also taking on 2mPeter’s 2 year 500k contract as well.
Trouble is, 2mPeter is softer than Stewart

Isnt he TwosMetrePeter?

Don't remember him getting alot of AFL exposure this year

 

[Rosscoe]

If it’s good for the goose....

it’s good for the bagger

 

[Red Bull]

Isnt he TwosMetrePeter?

Yep,
Don’t believe he played a senior game this year.
The likely trade value will probably indicate how the rest of the competition rate him ...

Agreed, he looks slow...Weiters would destroy him.

Postperson?

No, current

 

[Dropagrogan]

SOS is saying that we should just give 8 instead of drafting him. SOS of the 90's would be horrified by that comment. im starting to think he is a bit of a traitor

Who asked him the question, was it Barrett?

 

[myblueroan]

No, current

Postie.

 

[gbatman]

The thing with Saad is there is nothing stopping us from letting him go to the draft and us just taking him with pick 8.

IMO asking for a "sweatner" is warranted.

We can already get him with pick 8 and Essendon get nothing. You can have pick 8 but give us a little back.

Essendon need to realise Saad is gone. It's not about us finding a way to get him. It's now about them finding a way to get something for him. Pick 8 for example. They need to make it worth our while since we will just use it to draft him.

If Essendon think they have bargaining power here they are joking.

If they want pick 8 they need to give us a little more.

2nd rounder or swap of future first round picks. Let us split it and give them part of it. If they don't want to lose him for nothing they have to compromise and make it sweeter for us.

This is where you stand when you let players go OOC and they badly want to leave plus want to go to a club who has an early pick they can draft that player with.

Essendon truly are in shit position with the Saad trade. They hold no power. He's ours for pick 8 if we want IMO and they get nothing.

They need to make the deal attractive to us to get 8.

IMO ball is in our court and it's all about trying to get a bit more than just Saad out of this deal.

This is how it should be.

 

[Karma Train]

Trade Radio just said that good chance we trade pick 8 to Brisbane for picks 18 and 19, and use 18 for Saad. Would be pretty happy with this outcome!

 

[SHOWEY]

Listening to trade radio.
Carlton looking to trade 8 for 18+19 from Brisbane according to HS
The media are on crazy drugs..pick 18 not enough for an OOC player they burnt on the way out
Cornes saying maybe 18+our second is enough

Again, where are these drugs the media are lapping up? (probably brought over from *)

 

[The Grover]

Jay Clark tweeting a twist in Saad deal with a surprise pick swap?

 

[inyourcool]

ESS threatening to walk Caldwell to the PSD after a placing a massive lure to want out of GWS. Sounds like the PSD is good enough return for one of their OOC players in A. Saad.

That would be a good outcome, can't have both Caldwell and Saad at the same PSD pick! Just hold out Austin until *'s Caldwell play is complete and then start to deal

Strange SOS is advocating a straight swap with pick 8 when we didn't succumb last year with Martin and let him walk into the PSD - how do the two differ?

Adrian couldn’t refuse a 1st rounder for the OOC Saad and lose him for nothing.
We’ll even throw this in for Adrian ...
