Listen I know it's a tough time for your club as a supporter and you don't want anyone to leave, But the best thing to do is to rid the club of all the dirty laundry and start fresh.I like to see him try he'll have to admit he was doped and risk a 2 year ban.

Ryder playing in the 2's on 500k while not wanting to be there even though he just quit makes no sense and does not help Essendon win a flag.
It's stupid.
hey buddy..don't cheat the system and you wouldn't have these problems to start with, your club has to pay the price unfortunately.
Offering pick #16 is not going to help EFC win a flag.

HAHAHAHASorry but EFC won't just accept #16 a player would need to be included not an untouchable but one that's on the cusp of breaking into your side.
Dude you shouldn't be thinking about flags, you should be thinking, holy crap we will actually have 22 players left that aren't banned or left the team by next year.Offering pick #16 is not going to help EFC win a flag.
What price?Club has already paid the price this is about EFC getting fair compensation.
Sorry but EFC won't just accept #16 a player would need to be included not an untouchable but one that's on the cusp of breaking into your side.
... Reinstating Hird as coach?Neither was, you know...
The club has paid the price for poor governance Now comes the doping part our first round pick is reasonable Port is not out to shaft anyone.... and this is if he chooses us we are just making that assumption because it's fun reality is his family needs to be happy if Paddy feels he needs to be in Brisbane to make that happen you will be getting less or nothing because Paddy is going to pull the trigger on the exit clause if pushedClub has already paid the price this is about EFC getting fair compensation.

They are arguing pretty bloody hard on their own board already.I do not think Essendon fans could argue with the no 16 pick.
Would be insulting to Butch to ask. Wouldn't mind if Mitchell was genuinely interested in going there and they wanted steak knifesThe latest media talk is that Ryder has a get out clause in his contract possibly included in the wake of the ASADA investigation which we are now told began in 2011. Ryder re signed with Essendon for four years in mid 2012 so he would have known about ASADA sniffing around. I think #16 is a pretty fair price and possibly the best deal Essendon are going to get. I agree that the Bombers could play hard ball but if a guy doesn't want to be there you have to get the best deal you can and I do not think Essendon fans could argue with the no 16 pick.
Don't suppose you would consider a straight swap Butcher for Ryder?
Sorry but your going to have a hard time getting players to break contracts with us to go to your mob.Pick 16 will get it done, all the bravado from Essendon doesn't amount to anythingSorry but EFC won't just accept #16 a player would need to be included not an untouchable but one that's on the cusp of breaking into your side.
Maybe it is Jimmy Hird in disguise?don't bother responding to this bloke it's like talking to a brick wall.
What a mess for the EFC it's almost to the point where they should let any player not comfortable walk & only keep the guys that are 100% in, Hird will probably get the chop as well as admin changes it may decimate them initially but it's the only way to gain back respect & rebuild the club.My preference is still not to offer anything and to take Ryder as a delisted free agent. Whatever good will there was completely evaporated the moment Essendon & Hird took the "we'll sue you" approach.
Given their actions and stubborn refusal to accept responsibility they shouldn't be surprised if the remaining 20 players quit the club, leaving "I'm chasing a premiership" Goddard on his lonesome - which is what he really fears now that Ryder wants out.

Ryder could walkThe AFL Commission earlier this year passed the new rule, which was pushed by the players' union as a result of the Essendon drugs scandal, after the AFL Players' Association's mid-term review of its collective bargaining agreement.
What EFC do with pick #16 decides whether it will help them win a flag. And Paddy Ryder is damaged goods. If he does a deal for a 6-mth ban then Essendon may be able to get a fair trade for him but if it is the full ban he is worth nothing. The club has very little leverage here and if a trade's offered I'd accept it.Offering pick #16 is not going to help EFC win a flag.
