so make it a 3 way deal

Eagles Ess first rd, Blues first rd
Hawks Reid
Ess McKenzie

if McKenzie was available saints would be all over him too, given he was in their NgA.

Agreed, the Reid discussion is getting nauseating, especially with the journos saying that the frontrunner is someone new every 3 weeks (wonder why?).

It’s been 13 minutes since we’ve mentioned Harley Reid, are we cooling on him?

How about…we don’t!

3 first rounders for a guy getting 10 touches a week?

Either he’s tanking or he hasn’t adapted to AFL

And in neither circumstances do you give up 3 firsts.

Why not? We are rebuilding and he’s unavailable most of the time.

Maybe not. As I mentioned we can trade our some excess players for some draft currency to match bids that come in second round or later. Guys like Menzie, Guelfi, Jones and possibly a deal on Parish should do the trick

With the changes to the draft index, I’d be surprised if any of Menzie, Jones or Guelfi even got you picks with point value.

But scenario 3 is at least 1 club will sell the farm for Reid, likely to be in the vicinity of 3 1st rounders so this means that’s the minimum price for all clubs interested.

That kind of logic hasn’t applied for years.

Mckay is going to struggle without Rids nex to him he was startiing to find his groove.

Im not paying that for Harley Reid
…maybe for Read :wink:

Think people forget we played the entire first half of the season last year without Ridley and went 8-2 didn’t we? McKay was arguably better.

didn’t someone say on here the year wardlaw was drafted something about he was ■■■■■■ off with essendon and would never come here for some reason.

don’t remember specifics but i do remember people wanting him cos he barracked for essendon, so it kinda stood out that someone was saying he didn’t like the club

He went the pick before us. He never had the opportunity to be picked up by us. From memory he was just reportedly dark as he would have loved to play for us and North are a bit ■■■■.

That was Caddy, supposedly not him but a family member.

I always thought that was a bullshit rumour made up based on josh caddy being filthy we couldn’t get that trade done
