Only just realised A.Saad is an anagram of 'Asada'
Sorry, I'm sure this has been noted somewhere... But the Twighlight Zone theme is playing in my head now

Fish, chips, cup o' tea, Mary @#? Poppins. London!
Have had a look around, but there is obviously a torrent of shite to wade through...
Any links to video of the judgement available? Wouldn't mind seeing how spanking season unfolded.

Would love Hurley. Small price to pay TBH.

If the market was operating normally, that would seem about right:
Ryder for pick 17
Problem is that Delusiondon have no leverage. They will get what they are given.

Laughs and japes aplenty!!
At least they haven't lost their sense of humour. They're going to need it!

It's not a normal free agency scenario. Ryder hasn't been lured away from the club by a better offer from a rival, he has felt compelled to leave the club due to an unsafe work environment. Surely EFC* don't deserve any compensation at all?
Of course they'll squeal like stuck pigs if they don't get anything though.

The only compensation they get should surely be administered via enema!!

Don't post a lot, and some here are probably thankful for that, anyway yesterday was just an entrée of what is to come for that s**t stained club, as good as the feeling was when Middleton released those sweet dulcet words from his lips yesterday afternoon, I know I just can't wait for the main coarse, and the beautiful dessert that will follow that.

Yeah i thought they could only have taken the initial deal if they hadn't (again) blindly followed the Little Turd.
Only one thing follows the little turd and that is the wipe clean. I want Asada to wipe vigorously, I don't care if they scrunch or fold.

Cant see any club giving up a first round pick for a player that might get pinged.... or that they could get for free

Agreed. He could be treated as a delisted free agent. They will get a 2nd at best unless there is a player desperate enough to accept a trade to Delusiondon.
I a normal market a late first rounder might be a reasonable Essendon ambit claim.
Ryder will prefer a trade to occur to leave the club with some goodwill.
Hopefully Essendon let him go for whatever the club he wants to go to will part with. However knowing Little he will declare war on the AFL and every other club whilst in the next breath saying he has the support of the AFL and clubs to proceed with legal action.

If 10+ players walk, EssADA* will be able to make the case for a couple of early picks in this years draft, we may end up with pick 10 by the time this is sorted out.
Going to be the longest list of Free Agents in AFL history.

Not out of the question handing over the #13 for a club wanting the type of ruck-man Ryder is and particularly a club that sees themselves as Premiership potential.
Is he worth it though?
