Using two of the second rounders to get back into the first round for a pick a bit later than 11 that we think is fair value for Stringer as opposed to pick 11.
Saad will be the next one to happen for a second rounder IMO.
We just totally teamed GWS though.
Goes to show that having a good trading relationship with them has paid off.
Pick 11 & a future third rounder for Dev Smith and pick 24 and a future second rounder is heavily in our favour.
Dwayne Russell referring to the deal as Pick 11 for Devon Smith and some steak knives. Pretty heavily underselling the steak knives which are a pretty significant component of the deal!
Where’s all the…Essendon are hard to deal with talk?
Yet we are the ones throwing around options, being flexible and working with other clubs and getting the first deal done while others are dragging things on.
If you assumed this year’s finishing positions for gws and ess happened again next year, what would the points be worth for next years pick swap? And then what would that translate to in added value to the pick 24 this year that came back. It’d have to add to be close to the pick (20?) Geelong refused to trade for watts, surely? Pretty big steak-knife for Dwaynepipe to chew on.
