they had ten senior players out last week, so may be a close contest.

Re: Going to Script.....

So our first 3 picks at this stage would be 4, 21 and 37 i think.

I'm thinking we will trade 21 for Crameri.

Hopefully the drugs saga is ironed out before the draft don't want to recruit players who are banned for 2 years

Im sure we would love to. I doubt Essendon will be accepting of that though.

I'm thinking Crameri will not even be able to play football for 2 years.

Only if the ASADA investigation is done........

This will cut the hind quarters off most of the playing list IMO. I just can't see the players playing dumb and getting off without a sanction. WADA have zero tolerance for this and if ASADA come up short WADA will undertake a full review of the decision. They very likely will do this anyway so the heat is on ASADA to get it right.

How much bargaining power do essendon have now though? They will be desperate to get into the draft. Although Brisbane showing interest in Crameri wont help us when negotiating

Why? All their picks are below ours. If Brisbane want to use at top 10 pick on him then they can have him.

I was of the thinking perhaps we could have used our 3rd rounder but if Brisbane put forward their 2nd we would then have to use our 2nd too. But Crameri would be able to influence this too if he tells Essendon he wants to play for us in which case essendon should do right by him or otherwise we could get him in the PSD for nothing

What makes it harder for Essendon (and any other club) is that the player has to agree to go.
It's not just a case of the best return or deal for Essendon being accepted. If Crameri wants to go to the Dogs then they take the best deal they can get for him. He might even decide to go into the PSD where we will have an early pick.
