highlights tape from this year. This guy is not worth a lot at all.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Port need to come in with the Jesse Hogan highlights tape from this year. This guy is not worth a lot at all.

We will just counter with our midfield tapes. Can't do a lot as a defender when your mids never work defensively or put pressure on the stoppage. BZT will not be bad in a good team.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

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.

id also says BZT has been improving year on year whilst Duursma you'd argue has regressed.

I think straight up is probably fair really and any picks involved would be pretty meaningless apart from allowing someone to say they won the trade. All a bit BS.

i can't say i'm fussed either way. If i had to pick id rather keep BZT.

 

[Bevoman]

Maybe shouldn’t have dropped Sav all last year and this year then

Yep, Premiership year Esava played a whole four games.

I watched them, round 4? Hogan didn't kick a goal, got smashed.

It's also interesting BZT's elite disposal efficiency is over 80% every year. That ain't bad considering hes played at full back!

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Guess we know where BZT lies on the idea of staying at the Bombers

BZT is coming home to his mum, there is no way he is living in Melbourne next year.
What ever happens he will not be wearing red & black in 2024 he walks or he's traded.

I reckon player & pick swaps is required else he walks and Port can front end his first year of his contract (SCOTT free).

Guess we know where Ralph thinks BZT lies on the idea*

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah, given it's Jon Ralph we know he's happy to stay

Surprised this hasn’t been done yet, straight swap, Port are powerless in this situation and it appears they have targeted a player they are not willing to pony up for. Cripps biting off more than he can chew..?

When an uncontracted player nominates another club, the club they have chosen has the upper hand is usually the narrative.

But when an uncontracted player nominates Port, suddenly Port has targeted the player and the original team has the upper hand.

Right.

How are we powerless with Zerk being uncontracted?

 

[SC_Power]

Because all the power is in Victoria, remember?

oops, my bad

Happy for you to point out the Power Port holds in this scenario.

What power do you have with Zerk being uncontracted?

Don’t you mean Essendon are powerless to make someone sign a contract he doesn’t want to sign ?

While Port won’t have to do shit and can keep Duursma regardless because he IS contracted

Or did the EFC members get on the ‘good gear’ as well as the players?

 

[kaiserchief13]

It's classic that Essendon want the world for spud players and Port try and lure players in without offering anything decent for them

 

[drcollossimo]

Very simple like this

Dodo “BZT sign this….”
BZT “no I’m off to the draft if you don’t trade me”
Dodo “but I’m Dodo I always win trade week….”

Dodo to Port “Straight swap for X or GTFO”
Port “no”
Dodo “but BF said you're powerless”
Port “He’s contracted we can talk in 12 months if he wants to still come to you”

 

[Phar Ted]

What power do you have with Zerk being uncontracted?

That he can just walk to the draft/psd where his contract can be front ended - he's just a b grader so teams are not going to be jumping around like crazy for him.

Sorry must’ve missed the point where Port had any power, how does this help you acquire BZT?

So he walks to the draft/psd and gets snapped up by basically any other club in the league? Still trying to work out the power Port hold here…

Carn, you know it doesn't work like that but if it did you'd be losing him for nothing and we'd be missing out on a B grader that we never had anyway - I'm good with that.
