Essendon gain the points needed to match a Kako bid and also gain an extra first rounder next season when they inevitably try and lure Harley to the club. A good trade for them.
Plus with the ability to trade two years into the future we can put another pick in 2027 forward to add to the deal when Kobe Bewick is set to come through (who basically wins all the awards in junior footy)
 
Essendon now have two valuable second rounders, 28 + 31, they won't need for points. Assuming they trade them for future picks and not a player, they will be completely loaded for next year. Or be able to trade back in after the bid is matched.
 
Such an interesting trade. If Melbourne don't do well next year the Bombers have done well. But if they are top 4, then the D's rocked this trade.

Good to see clubs with the guts to do this sort of thing.
