I dont think you will be seeing Lovett in red and white if you arent willing to downgrade your draft picks.
Currently on your list you have nothing Essendon really want or that you would actually want to part with. Therefore your draft picks are the only thing that we would like to have. If we obtained them Port Adelaide would be interested.
Buchanan who i really like as a player, may not be up to his former standard. If he was half the player he used to be i would of definately traded Lovett + pick 26 for Buchanan + pick 22.
Unfortunately these are the only fair accomidating options the bloods have
option 1
Syd lose - pick 6
Syd gain - pick 26, A. Lovett
or
option 2
Syd lose - pick 6, pick 22
Syd gain - pick 10, pick 42, A.Lovett
No other trades are fair because Sydney has nothing else to offer us. The fact that Lovett wants to leave is good on your part but Fremantle have a lower PSD than you. Therefore you have to trade with us. I think people consider Lovett to much of a fringer player. 4 clubs want him it adds currency. When you take into account this has also been by far his best season. He was top 5 in our best and fairest, a damaging player, a fast player and a very talented player. Hes 27 next season sure, gauranteed 3 seasons atleast. You have to give up decent picks for decent players.
I personally think Option 2 is fairer and i will state why.
You are trying to Jib Essendon on draft picks this trade period etherway. We all know that pick 22 has about as much weight as pick 30 or 40 in a shallow draft. The Essendon recruting managers going to know that as is the Sydney Manager. However pick 6 and Pick 10, their may be some small variation there. But Essendon needs a pick like that to obtain S. Burygone. So ether their will be some magical threeway trade or its going to be option 1 or 2. Personally i'd take 2.
Just trying to be realistic boys and girls, but your pick 22 isnt enough for A.Lovett in a weak draft. If it was 2006, when we got gumbleton, davey, remiers, houli and jetta sure i would go for that pick 22 in a second.
this is the 2009 draft, the last uncomprimised one too might I add. So Sydney supporters and Essendon supporters be realistic.
picks 1-10, or 15 are probally all that is good in this draft.
But Hird was a very late pick who knows.
