Geez port are hard to deal with, holding up the BZT and Sav trades.
It's a bad look going after players and not willing to get the deal done.

The big diff is one is out of contract.
That sound so familiar, going back 12 months, was it you saying that about the JHF and Rioli trades.?

Good - salary dump of a player that's barely first 22.

How can Essendon retain BZT if he is out of contract ?

I think it means they'll be happy to redraft him in the PSD?

There are clubs needing defenders before Essendon though... including the Roos.

I am fairly certain a team crying out for KPDs like North Melbourne would grab BZT in the event he went into The PSD.

Actually reading the article it says Essendon believe he's a required player and have the 3 year deal in front of him. They think he still has a place in the backline. I think what they're getting at is neither draft is an option as multiple teams that would want him have picks before Port

Also its Jon Ralph 
Out of the two trades, i think its more likely BZT gets done rather than Esava.
BZT + 31 for Duursma + 41/49 sounds spot on.
Esava, although not worth 25 should get done for that - if not he goes to the draft I think.

Well 25 isn't 25, it's about 30 but yeah that should be the end deal. Doubt it would get any further than it has.
As for BZT and Duursma, i'm sure there will be a bit of haggle but they'll work it out.

okey dokey
It's not really Port's fault that their pick is worth less than it actually should be. If our 25 was actually 25 I would hope we wouldn't offer it in the first place. Esava is worth about 30 in an open draft, I'm not really sure how anyone could argue any differently.
If he went to the draft you would see this, as I highly doubt anyone would be picking him up before then.

2018 draft we'd happily take pick 30. But most of the players taken in the 20s this year would be rookie picks that year. This draft sucks, that's why no one is accepting picks in it
B. Scott's love for BZT is not even in the same postcode as C. Scott's love for Sav.
If his wife would allow it, C. Scott would marry Sav
For one this is a simple trade to extract maximum value, for the other, this is akin to a scorned lover who cannot let go.

Hoping he does a backflip and stays.
I really don't want Duursma. No better than Guelfi.

Duursma showed a bit briefly many years ago, but BZT would be more critical for us. If we can keep him it'd be a win. Even with the addition of McKay we are so light-on down back.

I'd much rather keep BZT than get Duursma personally. He's actually quite a good defender just being played out of position, Hopefully keeping him is an option. I think our defense actually starts looking pretty solid if he stays, assuming McKay can stay on the park.

Our defence is still in huge trouble without him, he was the only tall we had this year, if McKay went down then we have nobody but a bunch of kids, some of whom have shown they can’t stay on the park. Scary to think about
