okokokok So I was thinking why would we do dis....

Turns out GWS wanted more points in our trade offer.

Trade 1:
GWS IN: 31, 33, Ess 2020 1st OUT: 12, 18, 2020 3rd (means they use picks this year to absorb Green bid in early 1st round and can instead use 2 1sts next year in stronger draft)

Trade 2:
SYD IN: Daniher, 18 OUT: 5, 9, 25 (Give up 5 & 9 but save face by staying in the 1st round this year by upgrading 25 to 18)

Trade 3:
PA IN: Fantasia, 25 OUT: 10, Howard/SPP

Sees us with picks: 5, 9, 10, 12 + Howard/SPP
Giving up: Next year's first (for a third), Daniher, Fantasia, our 2nd rounders this year.

Powerful Greater Western Sydney midfielder Aiden Bonar could explore a move to a Melbourne clubin search of greater senior opportunity next season.
Multiple clubs have expressed interest in the Dandenong product but will wait until the final days of the trade period next week to pursue the matter.
Bonar, who was rated as one of the most talented players of the 2017 national draft, is a big-bodied midfielder with exciting athletic traits.

But after playing only six games in his first two years at GWS, the No. 11 draft pick could again be stuck on the fringes of the talent-laden GWS midfield.
The exciting utility is aware he will face stiff competition from the returning Callan Ward, re-signed onballer Stephen Coniglio, Jacob Hopper, Matt de Boer and Josh Kelly in the Giants’ engine room in 2020.
It means the 20-year-old could appeal to Essendon as an inside contested ball-winner or Hawthorn to add some x-factor to its rebuild on the run.
His versatility is also appealing as Bonar is strong overhead, a busy pressure-player and can impact the contest around goal.
But the 188cm ballwinner is not a priority for either the Hawks or Bombers yet and will likely be considered as a secondary option on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Sources said the Giants could possibly entertain a move for a top-30 pick but there remains a strong chance he will stay at the club again next season.
Essendon has prioritised the situation with spearhead Joe Daniher and wants to block his trade request to Sydney Swans, unless they fork over two high-end picks.
Hawthorn has a trade philosophy to bring in talented players who may be facing some adversity at their original club.
Bonar has suffered two knee reconstructions but like Jon Patton, who has sustained three ACL tears, has since made a full recovery.

The Hawks could add Bonar into the Patton trade but in any case the Giants would want something in the vicinity of a second-round pick for Bonar, at least.
While the Giants rate Bonar highly and want to keep him, the second-year midfielder is again going to find it tough to break into the senior team next season.
The right-footer is contracted for two more years at GWS and has said multiple times he’s happily settled off the field up north.
Even young midfielders Jackson Hately and Jye Caldwell could push for senior games next year.
 
It would be awesome if we landed Bonar and Hately... or some combo of one of those two and Himmelberg. Daniher can go to GWS for all I care.
Clearly no one watches American pickers... Dodo does.

If you have a hard negotiator you do an ice break trade first.. the first handshake opens the flood gates

Here they come!
