Both essendon and Geelong will be sensing desperation in port and are trying to take full advantage. Port lured BZT, esava, sweet and soldo without the draft capital to get it done. They need land these key backs and a ruck if they want to contend next year

I would also be happy to retain Zerk, fark Port.

Good, there is absolutely no way we should be giving more to port than a straight swap for a cooked duursma.

Agree, and it will get done. Donāt fall for all the white noise. Thereās an industry thriving on the ānoiseā, clicks, viewsā¦ Itās business and thereās egos. Put all the noise aside and in the end the negotiation will take its course and the players will find their destination. The pick swap is scraps and itās the media and the industry egos falling over themselves about who wins / looses etc. we have until late Wednesday, thereās no hurry. It will get done.

Rayner was drafted as a BBM, but doesnāt seem to get much of a run other than HFF.
Iād hate to see us try to break the cardinal rule of football - playing a guy away from a position heās established himself in.

So because Geelong want more for Ratugolea, Port think Essendon should stump up more for Duursma. That sounds like a Port problem to me

His career is the exact opposite to zerks. Started well and gone backwards every year, zerk started slow and has improved year upon year.
Plus zerk plays a valuable position, guys like duursma are a dime a dozen as a floating wing or half forward.
Maybe go on Foxtel and watch duursmaās last few games Nino, youāll go off him very quickly.

Jack Peris. Free. Only game very promising. Speed and tackle pressure.

Zerk won the reverse coleman but yep heās improved every year.
yep agree with this
Monday - Wednesday will be all about Essendon being hard to deal with. It will be all our fault when the Esava/Duursma/Zerk deals take until the final hour.
