I look at this and given where the Bombers are (and that they'll probably be getting pick 8), they are nuts not to do what Port Adelaide do and get three top young players for the future. When you have the opportunity to get those low picks, it's crucial you take them - think Macrae, Bontempelli and even Stringer at the time set us up for the tilt.

As you can see I'm at the end of my tether with that club and it's media representatives. How there was a way to detest that club even more, well Josh you have done it.
Spot on. We just need to hold them to the deal they did for Shiel. 2 1st rounders is the minimum.

Was just coming here to report this as well. Carlton walking away from Saad basically leaves Essendon with literally *nothing* they can give us for Dunkley, considering their trading first/future first situation at the moment.

Maybe we can bring Saad into the conversation for Dunkley. Say pick 6 and Saad as a starting point for conversation??

I like Saad and ordinarily I'd be all over it, but we need another HBFer like we need another Adrian Dodoro.

Do we need a Saad?
Essendon supporters turning on Dodo, they are not happy with him.

Re: Trade Dunkley
If Essendon can't get Saad done, then Dunkley better put his big boy pants on and get ready for work at the Whitten Oval in a couple of weeks when pre-season commences.

Possibly not but for mine sits similar to Treloar, that is, do we really need another midfielder. Both Saad and Treloar would add line breaking pace, but take your point that another HBFer is not a need. It's how we can shuffle our line-up to maximise both.
The other 'midfielder' of ours that only adds to the complexity, that has gone missing in conversation is Toby. Prior to going down with his knee he really started to add something in-tight and around the stoppages.

I have said this for awhile, we do need another outside pacy mid. Too many of our guys are similar.

Re: Trade Dunkley
Saad is not worth a first round pick, and definitely not worth 5 years at $700k (or even half of either). Salute to Carlton for finally waking up from their fever dream this morning.

Carlton should go after Treloar.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Not a chance, Saad brings us nothing, is a club hopper, and we are stacked for his position.

Does this development actually give us some room to speak with Adelaide about Caldwell? 2 days to go and Essendon don't yet have an offer in sight for securing Caldwell. Given we're already investigating pick swaps with them.. is there anything else we could do that would see Caldwell involved?
I would really love to see Essendon just get smashed because of Dodoro's intransigence.
