Crameri

[Happy Days]

I know that the club wants to be fair and seen as a good trading partner and generic statement number 3, but now is the time to pull the offer and back Crameri to get to the PSD.

Here are the facts of the situation;

- we have done our due process in attempting to trade and party B have proven to be outright ridiculous in their value assessment of their assets

- Crameri is ours and ours alone; his manager has specifically stated he wants to play for us, we have a financial offer tabled that is higher than most other clubs will be willing to pay, and those selecting before us in the PSD either do not need him or will be selecting someone else

- Another player we want is set to be traded for an offer we can easily trump (albeit with sentiment removed) if we pull the pick from this trade and put it forward elsewhere

- Crameri is not so super awesome that we get 3rd degree burnt in the unlikely event that we get usurped

At the very least, Docherty for 22 needs to be explored.

Docherty wants to be a Blue.

Docherty wants to be a Blue.

Doesn't mean due diligence can't be done does it?

At any rate, if we had the choice between Crameri or Crameri & pick 22 I know what I'd pick.

[Mofra]

Doesn't mean due diligence can't be done does it?

You assume we haven't already done so?

[LostDoggy]

Docherty wants to be a Blue.

From what I've read he's nominated Carlton as his preferred destination but the main goal is a return to Victoria.

[Happy Days]

You assume we haven't already done so?

Only reports I've seen are of a player swap, nothing about draft picks or specifically 22.

Not saying we haven't, but the reporting reads as if there is a set course for 22.

Just saw Crameri having a coffee at the Pound.

Sounds promising.

I can't take it anymore! I think I might wet myself when he signs!

And now he is running laps of the oval.

Lol. You can't help but be impressed with how he's gone about the move. He's either been very well advised, is very mature and level headed, or both.

Only thing left is for him to be wearing a bulldogs polo!

Yep agree. He has been very impressive just getting on with his business despite all the speculation. He just wants to get away from the BS at Essendon and play football with a team that plays within the rules and who have a very promising future.

Now if Essendon would only play their part in all of this.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Great stuff TD

Crameri will be done on Essendons time frame

Macca and Thompson should be able to resolve

Docherty Blues supporter as a kid
