Adam Saad isn't worth pick 8 and some sweeteners so Dodoro has done OK to get that one over the line

He now has pick 6,7,8.

Geelong receives a future third rounder, which the Lions got from Melbourne.

Yep once again he seems to get his way. I'm worried about us and Dunks. I hope we hold firm but I'm not holding my breath.

As much as I hate Dodo he always seems to get his way.

They should never have gotten pick 7 for Joe but to get pick 8 for Saad is crazy. I can't believe Carlton caved. Saad is not worth pick 8. It's a great draft hand for the bombers. They're only going to offer us one of those picks (the lowest one) plus some other garbage which we'll inevitably accept.

I can only assume that Saad's management told Carlton this morning, in no uncertain terms that they had reneged on an agreed upon deal and if they thought their client would now work to get to them by the PSD they could forget it.

I mean those late swaps too of 87 for 78.... pleeeeassee..

Well if we can't get Essendon suffering the next best is Carlton suffering.

Ha - totally. WTF? Measuring contest? They aren't even worth any points.

It's astounding that he wants to leave and Dodo still somehow extracts overs. I rate him, but probably at pick 15 or over.

So if it doesn't happen we're free to pull this quote up and have a laugh?

But the talk of splitting Pick 8 for 19 and 21 or whatever...that would have left Carlton with - in REAL terms, 21 and 24...and neither of them would really be enough.

I think Essendon were right to stick to their guns - the guy has finished top 4 in the B&F 3x years in a row and whilst he isn't a perfect player what he does well he does REALLY well. Pick 8 really = pick 10 or 11 depending on the bids for the 2x Swans kids so it isn't that far off the mark.

Absolutely.

After getting Martin for peanuts (pick wise) last year, I'm happy for Carlton to cough up for Saad even if it's Essendon that benefits.
