We may end up trading him somewhere else, If Ryder picks us there would be just no need for us to include Leuenberger in that deal. Why would we give more than we had to?

Ah, no.
Also, a no.
Look I have sympathy for Essendon's fans. However, if another club was in Essendon's predicament, and a player from said club wanted a transfer to Windy Hill, Essendon would play hardball. What ever club Ryder nominates, they should play the hardest of hardball.
Is it 'unfair' that the balance of power is in Ryder's favour? I personally don't think so, however, I'm sure others will disagree. Is it 'unfair' that Ryder's market value, is considerably less than his actual value? In a way, yes. However, this is Essendon's pain to endure.
It is, what it is.
Spot on.
Exactly.

Fare call. My first suggestion would be luey and our second round pick to freo for their first but you finished a little lower on the later than what I thought.
especially looking at north tonight.
Would be worth it for the LOLs.

Can someone explain this get out clause to me?
Why wouldn't Ryder get out of his 2 year deal via said clause and just sign a 4 year deal on 700k at Brisbane?
Better for Brisbane and Ryder, and I highly doubt essendon want to go back to court after today.

Most likely - despite certain media coverage, Ryder doesn't hate the club. He wants to move and we will facilitate it. We will look for the best deal we can agree on with his nominated club(s) and ratify that.
It's how adults conduct themselves in a professional environment.

The afl is business, if Ryder can use this clause to sign a 4 year deal for 3mil vs his current 2 year deal at 1 mil, what do you think his managers advice would be?
Wonder how "mad" he is at Essendon, Could leave them with nothing
Yes, but he will get that without bringing about his own sentence,
2 years from asada isn't absolute. At this stage, not even one day is.
And we will trade him to where he wants to go.
So why trigger the clause if you get what you want without heightening the risk

Yeah that makes sense, but I can't see a club coughing up more than a second rounder considering the situation.
No doubt you'll somehow end up with Tom Mitchell and Ryder in Sydney though
thats my bet.

Second visit to Port sounds pretty decisive.
If Port get him, look out!
Even as a Sydney member, I would not mind seeing him land at the Lions.

So I assume as Ryder is going we will try and target Giles as he can pinch hit up forward rather competently. As unrealistic as it may be I would hope Essendon will try and target Tom Nicholls as his versatilty is something I rate but that deal would be extremely difficult.
What if he doesn't want to go to GC or GWS ?
Port is looking likely you'll have to work something out with them

Barrett reporting Ryder has requested a trade to Port.
What has Zac Clark done to deserve that? Seriously, who would want to be traded to Essendon right now?

If you're talking about the post on our board, it was fake. Which is great news. If Damian Barrett actually had reported that Ryder had requested a trade to Port, then Brisbane should be preparing their welcoming party and moving on to focus on what they're going to trade for him.

I love this notion that Brisbane are just going to roll over and offer up their first round draft pick plus a quality youngster because thats what Essendon fans think is fair.
Brisbane didn't chase Ryder, he beat a path to their door. And he did it in the lead up to Essendon's first final after being booted out of last years finals, so he probably doesnt care what you get in return. Brisbane have a crazy amount of cap space and are in rebuild mode, you're not getting their first rounder. Coupled with the fact that Essendon (if they havent completely lost the plot) dont want to have a star player potentially tear up his contract with a couple of years remaining and go for nothing. That would be a disastrous precedent for Windy Hill.
But who knows, the lure of playing out his footy days with Monfries at Port is probably tempting for Ryder too. Dont reckon Kochie would be too keen to sign on Ryder at a high price though. He's been quite vocal against Essendon throughout all this.

Other clubs are going to take advantage of Essendon breaking the rules. Just like Sydney did when we got Tippett. That's how things are these days, if you're not ruthless you'll fall behind.
