Should be plan A

Waiting on Ess to budge (which they will) and accept our offer of pick 8 and a future 3rd
Future 2nd back our way to be used for Fogarty.

Like the Saad deal but a future 2nd for Fogarty is yuck. Have watched a majority of his games now and although the Cats drafted him on potential at 22, he is not worth anything near that anymore.

 

[CJMB]

Wht's with this rating of Fogarty. He has played like 10 games in 3 years. Surely a future 3rd or even a fourth gets it done. Not sure why hed be worth anything more than 2MPeter who just went for a fourth rounder.

He’s not a big softie who openly says he only wants to play one position on a $500+k deal for a couple more years...

Yes, I hope so. Would love Merrett but stuff dealing with Dodoro again after this. That can be some other poor bastards problem.

Thanks for the info C09 always reliable. But I think you must have heard wrong about Fogarty being a future 2nd, can’t see that happening at all

Why not just trade 8 to Cats for Fogarty and 15, then 15 for Saad?
Seems like we are overpaying by a lot

 

[GoBlues!]

If the Saad deal does drag out and require mediation, surely that means it’s gone so late that it’s f***** Dodo’s plans with one or both of Dunkley and Caldwell.

I think this deal will need medication if it drags out any longer.

 

[jimsta10]

I’m guessing someone stole the codes and disarmed the bomb?

 

[carlton09]

Fogarty for a future 2nd seems high.

Good player, but do we need him that much?

Fogarty and an upgraded swap of picks with Geelong already agreed on.
Waiting on Saad deal to make this possible

This is all as of an hour ago from a person involved in LM

Sorry but that’s terrible if true.
Overpaying for Saad & Fogarty.

Is a future 2nd * for Fogs overs???

[FlowersByIrene]

Fogarty for a future 2nd would be pretty yuck

Certainly not Essendon's future 2nd.

 

[HARKER]

Yeah. Highly doubt that we'd drop The Dons future second alone, for Fogarty....I like him....but just not that much.

If the future second had to leave us, it would have to be for someone we'd develop into a quality KPD.

 

[smashbox gill]

Perhaps it would be our future 2nd?

Even then a pick early 30’s is to high. I would say our this years 3rd rounder pick 45 would be about right

Jeesh, I hope we don't send * future 2nd to Cats for Fogarty. That will be a valuable pick in the early 20s, in a draft full of late blooming Vic kids. Does anyone here think that's a good deal?

 

[BIuebagger]

I don’t like the future 2nd for Fogarty.

So it would be Saad and L. Fogarty for Pick 8 and Future 3rd. And a weaker hand next year. Depends which one we send to Geel as well. That’s us banking on one of us two being Top 8 and the pick being around 30. Risky.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Yeah I put a call out a couple of weeks ago about why all the excitement about Kemp. A guy that’s played zero games. But got no response. Why all the excitement ?

tall, skillful, fast, competive and kicks pressure goals. the story goes they chucked in him in the midfield (from the HBF) for Vic Country and carried the Big V home basically by himself against SA, and almost did it again the following game against WA, and his form on the training track in the second half of the year has the boys excited

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

Perhaps it would be our future 2nd?

Id prefer to give our current second but it’ll leave us well down the list for picking a kid in 2020.

 

[carlton09]

Bare in Mind there is a plan to swap picks around to sweeten the ledger.
Expect it all to go down Thursday evening. I dont have the full outline but it starts somewhere there

Plan B in place
(SAAD PSD)

Don't like plan A.

 

[smashbox gill]

Yea I wouldn’t be trading essendons future 2nd which will be between 19-22. Our future 2nd maybe but even then it’s a big high

as part of the Saad trade.

 

[BrownDog20]

This would be a great Trade for all involved?

Essendon> Pick 8 (Blues)
Port> Fantasia
Dogs> Pick 29(Port) Pick 30 & 51 (Blues) gives them additional 380 points they need
Blues> Pick 14 (Dogs) & Saad

Melbourne> Pick 14 & 2021 First & JSOS
Blues> Oliver & 2021 2nd

Those saying we have run out of time for Oliver, it's not like we just started talking today
would have been ongoing talks for weeks if true...

Melbourne don’t do that deal.
Would need to be at least 1 pick I the top 8 maybe even 2.

 

[Blue__Balls]

He good.

 

[thylacine60]

If I was an oppo club, in addition to all the very good and sensible reasons which exist for not picking up a player you haven’t spoken to, conducted a medical with etc... there’d be a big part of me that’happy to bypass Saad and let him through to Carlton just to stick it to Dodo.

There wouldn’t be many clubs not being held up in getting their own business done thanks to his intransigence. Some collective action might be in order. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t ongoing communication between certain clubs around holding the line on deals.

FWIW I think the deal gets done, but it’s unbelievable the competition grinds to halt because of one club.

It's a bit like us in August. Nothing but interference to the relevant clubs.
