Trade talk - from September 2025 (Part 9)

[whereswalla]

Yep. Hawks give up their 2027 first and 2026 second to a club for their 2026 first and then give us both plus pick 9 and we’ll take Hustwaite as steak knives and hopefully turn him into Jamie Cripps!

There was a player traded for (currently) pick 103… why? Every team will have passed waaaay before that.

Brodie can join Port straight after trade week, rather than having to wait until the next window.

So first set of delisted free agency is still weeks away?

[JJohnson]

What exactly do you need explaining?

If we walk away from 2 firsts, a 2nd and steak knives for Merrett and choose to keep him it is an unbelievable failure.

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

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

Cal said it on radio this morning. They have been trying to trade for one. No bottom 10 club has been willing to give one up for a pick trade

Essendon being presented with first offer

[Saucy]

Cal isn’t gospel. Just wait till tomorrow night.

[Saucy]

People don’t get it.

Yeah exactly. I don’t think they have (i.e trade players) so this will be close to their best offer.

I would love something to come out of the blue but I don’t see it

[Milanista28]

That offer is a no brainer for a 30 year old who is sick of our ■■■■ and wants to leave.

Having said that, we have Hawthorn right where we want them, we could make this even more painful for them, they can’t walk away completely, this offer is the least they’ll pay and this offer will be live the rest of the trade period, we’re going to push for more.

They’ve got 1 live chance to really improve their list, they can’t get Trac, they can’t get Humphrey, they could get De Goey lol. It’s Zach or bust, we all know it.

[Dasher]

I don’t rate cal’s judgement on players, but I do rate his ability to sniff out the right information.

[Saucy]

So if we get 3 first rounders for him, you will concede you were being a drama queen and wrong??

[Wanderlust]

Tone down the attitude, thanks!

[Finding_Nino]

I think it will be the same offer they might just as a little more that won’t make much of a difference

[High_Ryder]

Swap Hustwaite for Mckenzie or Lewis and it’s a deal

[Duplicity]

It must be Cal that’s wrong, one of the most historically accurate journos in the comp. LOL

[Stressed_out]

I think hawks would but Mackenzie and Lewis won’t

[Saucy]

So Cal can predict the future??

[Spike]

Sorry, that’s not a good deal, board wont sign off on it. Needs to be one of: x3 Firsts, x2 Firsts and McKenzie or 2 Firsts and Z.Duursma
