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)
 
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.
 
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.
Hopefully the latter
 
There is enough points for Kako without 28,31 and 37 (Stringer). All of those we will trade to get another future first next year.

3 F1 in 2025

Picks will be worth even more next year with points discount being dropped to only 10% and only up to pick 54 having points.

Harley Reid or Dyson Sharp… thank you

The Dee’s played the Bombers with this deal. Kako was never going for pick 9 or under.

Special mentions to the Saints for playing this game for our benefit as well.
to be fair, you really have no idea how each club rates the draftees. just because you read Cal Twomey's top 30 doesn't mean you have a clue if a club would bid on Kako or not. Windsor wasn't considered a top 10 or even top 15 pick according to these phantom drafts, next minute we take him at 7.

Where did Cal have Kako?

He is not going for pick 9 or under. Let’s chat about this on or after the 20/11.
 
Great work by the Dees, as usual.

Only once in the last 5 drafts have we used a pick in the National Draft that was later than 39, and that was for a F/S in Woewodin.

Two top 10 picks in a super draft is sublime. It's where the stars invariably come from.
 
Poor trade by the bombers. Kako is projected to go 15-20. They could have kept pick 9 and if a bid comes before which is very unlikely then trade out like most other clubs do. Academy players tend to slide as well.

Rosa is a genius. Harley Reid is coming next year

Harley Reid is contracted until 2026. There will be another 9 Vic clubs chasing him but I think he most likely nominate Geelong as he grew up barracking for them. I just find the trade strange as this is a super draft and you could have had a top 10 pick + Kako.

You obviously don’t know how the bidding rules work

no idea where he had Kako. I don't read into that stuff. It's just a rough guide. You were probably the guy that said 'there's no way the dees pass over Dan Curtin'. Next minute, the dees pass over Curtin. You have no idea where each individual club rates each player. 1 month ago, Lalor was considered a pick between 7-15. Now he's seen as a top 1-5 prospect. Everyone is just following media articles and you're no different. Otherwise, give me your top 5 and we'll see how wrong you are.

I’m not going to satisfy your need to argue and attack anyone and everyone on here Danny Boy.

Visualise and imagine who you think I am. Go nuts.

I’ll end off with, you are an embarrassment to my club.

Ease up Cowboy.
