Yes in hindsight.

At the time we were coming off 6.5? wins and losing two of our best players. Who'd have predicted we'd make finals. No one.

It's not just me. Plenty of media outlets said it https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...d/news-story/8546fdc159549e8b81181cb877f94bf7

Dunkley is easily worth two first round picks. Also your club made the finals in 2019; you were hardly in a state of guaranteed bottoming out.

Alas, clearly your club was too chickensh*t to back themselves to reach the next level with an A-Grade mid the following year. The prospect of trading that future first was just too "risky" for Adrian to stomach.
Carlton happily traded their future first fresh off a year they won the spoon. I guess that's the difference between a club that wants to win finals and a club that worries about where their future picks might be every year.

Disagree. Sorry that enrages you.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. 20 years of no finals wins speaks for itself though.

Who said anything about two top 10 picks champ?

HE CHAMPED A VETERAN POSTER

What does Essendons finals record have to do with my opinion?

Lmfao, you said champ.
You asked a totally loaded question, then said “champ” when someone had the good grace to reply.
Not hard to tell who the loser in the room is.

I don’t have any ill feelings these days. He’s still a premiership dog and now also a Brisbane

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Weeks and weeks and weeks of "he's not worth two late first rounders" etc etc from Brions supporters.

Brions pay him $750k a year for 6 years, indicating he very much is.

Plays VERY good football in his first year (as we all knew he would) and is a key (some would say main) part of getting them to the GF, fans ecstatic about how good he is.

Ah, the hypocrisy.

Jesus he's only on $750k/year? What an absolute bargain!

What did the dogs end up doing with the picks they received?

Charlie Clarke with the pick 21, then they combined pick 17 from the Lions, and their own pick 10 and FR1 for Sanders. There's an FR2 that Brisbane sent them too, but I'm not sure where that went.

Drafted Harvey Gallagher with that F2.
Think the easiest way to look at it is Dunkley for Jordan Croft, Charlie Clark and Harvey Gallagher.

Actually hilarious he has 2 premiership medals against us
