It's not over yet, there is a bit more to play out here.
Essendon now have a 2018 2nd round pick and two 2nd round picks this year. Colyer likely to be going to WA.
There could still be a trade with Richmond

So Stringer for 17? I'd hope not.

I'd say 17 and a 2nd rounder for next year is a chance.

What a putrid outcome. Yet again we become trade chumps.

Looks to me like Essendon called our bluff.

Or they accepted they can't satisfy everyone's demands and made their choices. We have no obligation to accept their offers

That would be a bloody awful trade IMO. Not sure we could sell that as a win

Yep, you can't sell that anything other than us pulling our own pants down.

We might not be able to sell it as a win but we now have to make the choice if we truly believe we can have him back or if we take the best offer.

Is that really what we meant all along when we said that Jake was worth a high first round pick?

If 24 or 29 go for Saad. How will they get 17?

Not at all, we put a high price on his services and it hasn't panned out that way

Hmmm, I think the whole 'if we don't get the right deal, he'll stay at the dogs' is a bluff. Hard to walk things back from the (poor) way in which we came out with putting him on the table.
I hope I'm proven wrong - but am fearful that Bevo's initial press on this will prove to have been a disaster.
