Dodo has got so many balls in the air with all Essendon's other comings and goings, he's just parking the Fanta trade with a ridiculous demand until some of his other deals are done. This will be one of the frantic final half hour jobs, and it will probably just be Fanta for 28 (or whatever it's become by then).

Should switch it to 31, just to let him know not to **** with us.
 
we should offer dodo Orazio Fantasia and film his confused reaction

Should we try and get Stephenson from Collingwood instead with pick 28. It’s too hard dealing with dordoro.

Just finished reading this article where he has been labelled a one trick pony.

As the football world surveys a stunning fall from grace that has resulted in him being put on the trade table two years after a Rising Star victory, Pies fans wonder about the forces at play.

The first is that inexplicable form slump that saw a 38-goal forward in his debut season become a reactive “one-trick pony”, as Mick McGuane labelled him.

The second is the fat contract and the bonuses he was able to receive as a result of that glorious year when the No. 6 draft pick was declared a player set to take the competition by storm. Rival clubs inquiring into Stephenson’s availability have become aware he is owed as much as $500,000 a season at Collingwood in coming years.

Is that all , same as fantasy pants salary I would guess
 
I hope we just walk away. Asking price too high and Dodo playing games. We are better than to get involved with that crap. If we’re after an injury prone player with potential I’d much rather us go after Cockatoo. Port supporter as a kid with far more upside. Should be a hell of a lot cheaper too. Lower risk (provided his body isn’t totally shagged) higher reward.
 
I had to pick my head up off the floor, it fell off as I was shaking it so much at the Fantasia trade. I simply cannot figure why we are doing it let alone offering a second round pick of any description for Orazio. To me Fantasia is another Motlop, a guy with natural ability but no consistency.

Tredders reckons pick 29 will get the deal done. He said when we traded for Ryder we offered our 1st and 2nd round pick and Dodoro was telling the world we only offered a 1st round pick, and on the last day a deal was done with our 1st and 2nd round picks.

I can't remember exactly how it was played out for a week for the PR spin but we didn't budge from our offer on day 1.

Guy on 'Ad' Radio reckons the below trade is more than fair..

Port: Fanta
Saints: Wines
Dons: Pick 17

Lol this is so ****ing dumb.

Even in this parallel universe where Port would trade Wines to get Fantasia, why wouldn't we just trade Wines to Essendon? How did the Saints get involved here?

And they still carry on like we bent them over. Other clubs were laughing at us over that trade right about until Ryder got an AA. They have no ****ing idea. They don't rate draft picks because they always **** them up. They trade in players and nail the obvious choice draftees like Mcgrath, but couldn't find a dick on a pr0n set. They wouldn't be whinging about the trade if they had got a Duursma and a half decent 2nd rounder for Paddy Ryder. Instead they took Kyle Langford with ours, Laverde with theirs, and traded out our 2nd rounder.
