Possibly Ryder to Port.Anyone know the last trade that went to mediation? I cant recall any.
Cool.
At least no Bombers supporting disagreeing with this part of the post:
Also think this is HS Slobbo drivel he found at the bottom of his beer glass.
What's he gonna do? Sit out for a year? Quit the AFL and go work at Woolies?No you wouldn't, if O'Meara states he only want to play for the hawks. No other club in there right mind would select a player that does not want to be there.
Carlton did with Nick Stevens and he gave them great service.No you wouldn't, if O'Meara states he only want to play for the hawks. No other club in there right mind would select a player that does not want to be there.
Ha i bet as a bombers supporter you are hoping they take a standthey sent Bennell to Freo for a late second rounder and a 6 pick upgrade from early 2nd to late first.
They have a top 3 kid in Bowes coming in, plus pick 8, likely pick 6, and will snare some good talent in the 2nd round.
they can afford to make a stand.
On this planet. Which one did you have in mind?What sort of magical land do you think mediation is?
They don't have any power to force a trade.
It enables a conduit whereby Cochrane is removed from a process he shouldn't have any influence on the first place, and allows Ashcroft come to a reasonable solution and the reasonable explanation that the eventual deal was helped agreed to with the AFL involvement.
No magic just allows some face saving... or maybe not who knows at this stage.
And herein lies the problem. Pick 10 and a fringe player probably overs? On what planet?
Yes, he has injury concerns. Your medical dept is obviously pretty confident given the money/deal on offer.
Trade will still get done in the end.
Yeah so you took a lower pick for a player who has a history of injuries. hmmmm sound familiar?Because he had only played more than 7 games in a season once in his 7 years on the list?
Had a much longer history of injuries (also a few years older...). Gumby never showed the signs that Jaegar has.
FWIW we got Orazio Fantasia with the pick Freo gave us, no complaints here.
If the bombers had 600k to offer O'Meara then hibbered would still be there rather than trying to go to the dees.What's he gonna do? Sit out for a year? Quit the AFL and go work at Woolies?
O'Meara has met with us multiple times, did a medical with us, and we have enough in the cap to give him his 600k a year. Just because you want the 10/10 prom queen doesn't mean you wouldn't settle for the 8/10 cheerleader.
Hibberd isn't leaving because of money. And Stewart would be lucky to command 250k a year.If the bombers had 600k to offer O'Meara then hibbered would still be there rather than trying to go to the dees.
Add on james Stewart salary can't see it happening
Gonna be pretty funny if a trade can't be worked out and O'Meara gets to the hawks in the PSD.
All this talk of other clubs taking him before the hawks is just as amusing especially when no other club has had talks with the gold coast for a trade. If O'Meara goes to the PSD and states he only want to play for the hawks that's where he will end up. It would be the exact same situation with any other club who had a player nominate them as well.
Cochrane has no say in the negotiations, he's just the face of the club.Mediation is not the answer.
A sanatorium for Cochrane is the only sane alternative.
It would be irresponsible for him not to check out a few clubs, medicos, facilities etcAmusing that you think a club that he did a medical with wouldn't pick him in the PSD.
I find a certain irony in Essendon offering to broker a deal while they persist in playing chicken over possibly the simplest trade of 2016.
It would be irresponsible for him not to check out a few clubs, medicos, facilities etc
Turns out the bombers didn't cut the mustard for O'Meara. Otherwise we would be hearing more about potential trades and even his manager leaving open or hinting at the opportunity to play elsewhere next year other than hawks could be a real possibility. But still we keep hearing he only want to play for the hawks.
This is why we look at patterns of behavior... Essendon are synonymous with difficult trades for a reason.Yes, cause it's one teams fault in a trade between two parties....
Well yeah Richmond and Carlton will most likely trade out of the top 10.
making it even more likely he lands at 10 to the Hawks.
Carlton did with Nick Stevens and he gave them great service.
Jaeger isn't going to sit 2 years out of footy
Cochrane has no say in the negotiations, he's just the face of the club.
What president has power over list management? That's not their job.That was the PSD where it cost Carlton nothing. If OMeara selects National Draft no way in hell Essendon uses pick 1 on him.
Presidents have no power? Dont tell Eddie, why, he would go all red face at you and then... well nothing I guess.
Possibly Ryder to Port.
Definitely Caddy to EFC that went nowhere
