OK, you're a very convincing group.
I now know that
1. Joe is a hack
2. We should count ourselves lucky to be getting pick 23.
3. David Mirra will be all Australian shortly.
4. "Champ" is a term of endearment used to encourage sensible debate.
(No offence to abcde12345, yours was a good reply)

Who's saying Daniher is a hack??

And who's David Mirra when he's at home??

Your initial point was why bother giving up a late first round pick and something else smaller when we could pay him extra and get him for free, but then also subsequently play down the value of a late first round pick.

Given how little a late first rounder seems to be worth (according to you), is there a chance we value the security of offering a smaller guaranteed component over said draft picks?

Maybe the onus is on Dodo to creativily grease the wheels a bit to make it worthwhile for us to offer enough for a band 1 pick.

I'm not sure what Brisbane is valuing more out of the security of a smaller guaranteed component, or a late 1st round pick...……..because they are not offering to give up either.
As I understand it, Brisbane have said they won't increase the base salary, so yes, they value that increased base amount required to generate band 1 compo, highly.
But they've also said they won't trade a late 1st round pick, so they value that highly too.
Both are valued higher, it seems, than Daniher is.
I'm of the opinion that the increase in base salary required is of less value than the pick, and so Brisbane should prefer that option. But I don't value the pick very highly either.
And yes, I completely agree that if there is a way Dodoro can "grease the wheels" to make it worthwhile for Brisbane to offer enough for a band 1 pick, he should do it. I just don't have any idea how he could do that. Any ideas yourself?

I wouldn't read too much into what's coming out of the media right now. Neither Brisbane or Essendon have said anything beyond the fact that he's leaving and the club's will work it when it's time to do so.

Conveniently the media has run with the stance from both sides that would generate the most amount of interest and discussion i.e. Essendon will match and Brisbane won't trade.

I think from both clubs' perspective, it doesn't make sense to leave a compensation pick from the AFL on the table. It's essentially a free, at worst, end of first round pick on the table. I suspect Noble and Dodoro will work out how best to utilise that fact.
 
Going to be a long trade period...

What are you talking about? This is awesome.

We've gone from the hunted to the hunter ;)

Personally I'm disappointed the trade period is short & so close to the end of the season.

To all the other clubs who's carcasses we're now feasting upon - fix ya culture.

That might be a slight exaggeration.
 
The key I think in Daniher getting to Lions easily will be what the AFL secret formula comes up with. Pick 7 and reckon Essendon will take it, pick 20 and they will match and force a trade.

There won’t be a trade. The guy has said he wants out two years in a row. No way they keep him. Lions don’t need to trade.

I think the amount of damage one player can do to a club is overrated, especially if the club has a robust culture already.

Fev is the classic example thrown around but the Fev issues really snowballed by us overpaying, us doubling down on him as some kind of saviour, and then basically running him out of the club instead of trying to manage some combination of alcoholism and mental health issues. So terrible management by the club as much as the player causing anything.

Rockcliff did a fair job of screwing the clubs culture on his own.

I’m sure that’s really interesting and all but I feel asleep each of the three times I tried to read it.

which is probably good, cause facts ruin a good BigFooty.com discussion

Would be infinitely more enjoyable if it was one of the clubs that lowballed us during the go home 5 year, but nonetheless, still fun.
 
Something better than pick 23 (or whatever end of rd1 becomes) is hardly "something stupid".
Losing him to the preseason draft is an over rated threat. We'd effectively be giving up pick 23 or so. Have a look at what picks in the early 20s have generated over the years. It's not giving up a lot.

Edit - just looked it up. Last 5 pick 23's have been
2019 Dylan Williams (Pt Ad)
2018 Jordon Sweet (WB)
2017 David Mirra (Haw)
2016 Alex Witherden (Bris)
2015 David Cunninham (Carl)

Dude, the guy has said two years in a row, I’m out. Don’t want to be here. There’s no bargaining to be done. He may even decide to give it away completely then stay, in a place he has said he wants out, if dodo matches. Don’t underestimate that possibility.

I'm not underestimating that possibility. I don't think there is any chance he stays at Essendon next year. Matching won't keep him. But it might force a trade with Brisbane, or with Sydney, or with someone else. Or Joe will go for free to somebody in the PSD.
I just don't think Dodoro is any chance to go weak at the knees at the thought of losing him to the PSD if all he would be losing is a pick in the early 20s.
(And I don't think Joe would be too happy at the idea of opening himself up to the possibility of going to Adelaide or North, not that he will have much opportunity to change the course of events.)
 
The chances of a club picking Daniher up in the PSD if he doesn't want to go there are nil. He wants to get out of the Melbourne fishbowl.

Not to mention list managers of all those other clubs would also take great pleasure seeing Dodoro get absolutely wrecked.

I don't get it. Surely you're not suggesting he will get to Brisbane in the PSD?
If the game of match and trade falls over and he goes into the PSD, at that point Dodoro won't care which club he goes to. And it won't be Brisbane. Can you see the likes of Carlton and Hawthorn and North all passing on him, not to mention Sydney? He would be a free hit for all of them. If he were to sulk and not play, no loss, worth the try.

Clubs won't pick up a player who actively doesn't want to be there. It would have a massively negative flow on effect for the rest of the playing group and clubs are much smarter than that, especially now with a squeeze on cap space and list spots.

However, I defintely believe it won't come to that.
