We put our future 1st and 2nd at least on the table as TAFKATMS has said for any clubs to take until he was off the table, unfortunately most of the clubs in that region were in a similar position wanting top end talent "NOW" not a year later.Great to hear.
Do you know what format that took? Asking Dons for pick 4 before or on draft night? Or other? Dodo-ro is well known as the most difficult List Mgr to deal with so would have likely had way over the top demands for pick 4 I assume..
Either way, with 3 reported meetings with Mattaes just before the draft we have clearly conveyed our serious interest in him going forward and I imagine will be already dangling a nice juicy carrot in front of him. Seeing Dawson and Rankine and the huge ADL Oval atmosphere with a finals bound team over coming years should be an easier sell. I think its harder to get players from the big VIC clubs (inc Geelong and their ingenious salary cap 'strategies') compared to smaller teams like Saints, Dogs, Kangas and even the Horks are in for a number of years of pain hopefully making Day think twice
