ESSENDON has secured Greater Western Sydney youngsters Kurt Aylett and Shaun Edwards in exchange for pick 48 from the Bombers.
The Bombers have beaten the Crows in the race for Edwards, in a coup for the club after its disastrous 201
Edwards, who is on tour with the Indigenous All-Stars in Ireland has played 12 games while Aylett, who is from NSW but arrived at the Giants via North Ballarat, has played just one game.
Aylett has had a history of knee injuries but is a talented half-back flanker.
The Giants are in the process of securing Jed Lamb from the Sydney Swans and remain in negotiations with Collingwood to secure Heath Shaw.
Great deal for Essendon in my opinion, a low risk, high reward trade
