2023 trade talk (Part 3)

Would have to be all 3. Pick 8, 13, and our future first.

I tried to do a poll but it was pretty confusing, but surely Melbourne would ask for 2 metre and a pick. That’s the one thing stopping them from winning a flag. Would we do it? I think i would after this finals series showing that key forwards aren’t as important as big midfielders at the pointy end.

It’s in the AFL’s interest that we aren’t a bottom 4 club, and we stay competitive. They couldn’t give a ā– ā– ā– ā–  if we’re up the top or not.

  • McKay will be a very straight forward deal.
  • Gresham will be a bomber for sure. Essendon have done their homework on that.

I’d happily give up Wright, 8, and 13 (if we get that pick)

Maybe play hard has a double meaning…

We seem to be quite organised. I still suspect there is a broader play with the Shiel thing, whether that leads to Oliver, who knows.

Thanks for killing my buzz kill

If we were really close to landing Oliver a few days ago why is Melbourne inviting all clubs to talk to them now?

At least if Goldstein and Oliver join, Perkins and Guelfi wont have competition for hottest players award.

That would be the whole ploy behind getting pick 13. It’s been mentioned many times here.

If overpaying for Gresham lands us a very useful bargaining chip to get Wines/Oliver then I’m all for it.

Also, if they want 2MP, that’s also fine.

Well, that’s whats being presented for public consumption; who knows what conversations were being had in private? My intel is based on something Dodo said; it’s still very much down to interpretation.
