Just relax mate. They absolutely have time.

It’s an initial offer to get a gauge.

We don’t have a 3rd this year, Gave it to the Dee’s last year (and is now with Freo)

Club would not be able to sell the current offer as a win to its members. They won’t do it regardless.

If those numbers remained those numbers… is very slightly less than pick 3 in Magical Fairy Dust Points™.

Pick 8 & 2 future firsts is the desire imo.

What’s your hurry? There is still more than a full day to go. Fark them and Merrett. They want him bad, offer up MacKenzie in the deal.

They could have made this offer a week ago. I don’t think they are playing games.

They have spent the week trying to get a good F1 for us and couldn’t.

People seriously need to chill.

that’s a big no from me, hawks first rounder gonna be high teens - early 20s next season, next offer please

Will waste a shitload more time for stuff all extra. For just once in our garbage existence I’d love us to get our big trades done early and sit back and potentially see what else we can do at a relaxed pace tomorrow if need be.

Or if they cant get any players to come to Essendon then trade them to a different club then give us the pick

They can’t just throw anyone out the door unfortunately, so 3 first rounds picks thanks Hawkers (dogs)

We don’t need to pay any extra to achieve that.

And picks can be traded up till the draft, so no urgency.

Poor Dustin Fletcher, Scott Lucas, and Matthew Lloyd.

Yea I used to have a contact at the club in the past, who was in a very senior role and I got absolutely SFA from them this time of the year. It is very in house and not much is discussed outside a small group. So I am generally a bit sceptical about some of the info that is put out there. But Ill take your word that you have some good contacts.

You don’t know that. They were supposedly only offering pick 8 alone last week.
