houli- what do we offer now.

I can't believe Essendon would only be having 3 picks in National draft. If that is the case then Hird is massively overestimating the talent he has on the list, which sounds awefully like Voss believing the Brisbane Lions were premiership material with the addition of a couple of players.

i cant believe Essendon are only using 3 picks in the draft. what a bunch of losers!

Hird has stated he wants to see pretty much everyone before he makes a judgement call on them.
Anyway, discussing Essendon's draft strategy should not be discussed on here unless it involves a Richmond player.







sorry, couldnt resist. it is true but.

That's why i said Richmond only win if they get him for a fourth rounder or later.

GC would respect letting a player get where he wants?..lol

People didn't take Ball last year because he was slow and can't kick, not to help him get to Collingwood.

If we're offering a third-rounder and we get him for a third-rounder, we win because we get what we want!

And teams don't draft players who have made it clear they desperately want to play for someone else.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

If they don't want our 3rd rounder would Hird consider taking Polo??

Good on Adelaide for making a compassionate trade for Griffin.. Matt Rendell said that they thought he was worth more than 61 but traded him so he could get to WA....
Obviously the Essenscum are not as nice to their players....

Like I've said before they want a bag of gold for a bag of poison.

Look at the way they screwed the Saints sideways.

Looking almost certain we will get Houli in the PSD.
Essendon won't budge on our offer of pick 46 as it is useless to them due to taking only 3 national draft picks.
By letting Houli go into the PSD, that effectively gives them the 2nd live pick in the PSD.

Can live with that quite comfortably.

 

[The BRICKSTER]

we cant just draft him at pick 46 in the national draft and still keep our PSD pick open right?

Am i missing something here?

 

[folester41]

better for us, because id prefer us to use picks the 4 picks we have in the first 3 rounds, and save the compensation pick.

me thinks we take him in national draft leaving our psd options open you never know who might just slip thru

He won't nominate for the national draft.

 

[Morro]

Herald sun draft blog have stated quite a few times in the last hour or so that a deal has been done for Houli but not made official yet.

I hope this is true, we need our PSD pick, I have a feeling there could be some quality there.

 

[Mr Magic]

Don't we have two PSD picks ? If don't use them another rookie???


I would have thought with this Cloke issue, our first PSD pick Cloke, second PSD pick Houli. If not another club will pick Houli up in PSD so he is happy if he gets out of Essendon the way it has been communicated!

What the hell are Essendon doing only taking 3 draft picks?

 

[Mr Magic]

Worse comes to worse, I can't see the downside, if Cloke wants to come over via PSD, pick up Houli late in ND, If Houli goes somewhere else good luck to him. We can't be held ransom and do silly deals for Essendon and player movements. The players know where they stand and the other clubs know what they are worth

We shouldn't be making important strategic decisions on feelings

AFL_JenWitham:
Craig Cameron says it looks unlikely there will be a trade involving Houli. He'll have to wait until the draft to become a Tiger #tradeweek [via Twitter]

I know others have said that the GCS cant participate in the PSD but there are some and including hutchy who just stated that they can have up to 8 picks in the the draft, although he didnt clarify which picks they would eligible for . (surely this is not true/) because its at odds with what others have said, including the clubs....
I hope the clubs are absolutely clear on this, otherwise they will further clean up

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Yeah, heard about that too mellowyellow. Better not be the case..

If thats the case it should be the last 8 picks.

Crutchy said they could have the first 8 picks in the PSD as they were able to sign 16 uncontracted players and have only signed 8.

Talks of compo pick going to Essendon for Tambling on Twitter.

 

[tigerdan]

DT on twitter says we have traded the Tambling comp pick to the Bummers for Houli...

Gee so in effect our 2nd pick is pretty worthless if that is the case
