I'm a big fan of the cahones needed to post that latest rumour. Love it!

But let's walk it through.

We've set an arbitrary timeline for a deal to be done. - Could be possible, but unlikely.

Secondly, we've agreed to offer two picks (including the pick we need to give to Essendon if they accept before the arbitrary time period flagged above) for Oliver. What happens if Essendon accepts before tomorrow? We then don't have the currency to do the deal with Offer? Why would we then offer it Melbourne like that? Unless we had a contingency to satisfy them, which is unlikely.

Let's just say, this rumour has a lot of ways for it to come crashing down, and i'm afraid that it might.

Split pick 8, 2 late 1sts

One goes to Saad, the other + next year's 1st + Jack for Clarry

Unlikely and Jack being told where to go?

Will be interesting

Unless....

Saad walks to the PSD
 
Not sure Melbourne are satisfied with that. Would we accept that for Cripps?
Does Cripps want to leave?

That's the issue, we always say "would we accept that for cripps, woudl we accept that for Curnow" but at the end of the day - we are Carlton and we don't have a shitty culture like these Essendon, Melbourne types.

Only thing i can think is we committed to Saad first so if we have to choose one we go with him for that reason. Oliver will still be there next year whereas Saad won't be.

" Hickory dickory dock ..."

may as well have been written about the AFL's current employment contracts - just a matter of time before current bandaid fixes and pretend contracts are challenged in court - at which time the AFL will have its pants pulled down...

And the sort of obstructive conduct demonstrated by Collingwood will be one of the contributory factors.

If true, it constitutes workplace harassment as well as contract breach and even deceptive conduct/ anti competitive behaviour.

Just shit.
 
Fogerty will come to us cheaply I'm told, or not at all.
How true is this rumour about Clayton Oliver?? If that’s true does that mean Saad will come through the PSD or do we walk away??

Unless the contingency is walking Saad to the draft?

I'm happy for Ratts that he not only got the Saints job, but they've clearly supported him in the trade period the last 2 years and have looked to shake up their list and get some pretty big names in. While I think they overpaid for Hanneberry & Hill, gotta respect them for at least making moves and suddenly they are able to bring in some good players.

Hanneberry, Hill, Jones, Butler, Howard, Ryder, B Crouch and now J Higgins...decent ins over the last few trade periods. They were stagnant before that under Richardson, rolling with the same players and getting the same poor results.

Jack Higgins a big name please

You would have to assume that JSOS is more than happy to go to Melbourne if this is indeed what they have been offered?

But if Essendon have accepted our offer - assuming that offer involves sending 8 to Essendon - how do we do the Oliver deal.

Even if Essendon give usback a pick in the 20s or 30s and we package that with our 2nd rounder to trade up with thedoggies or Brisbane or Geelong.

Is our Future 1st and Pick #16-20 and JSOS enough to get the deal for Oliver done? I'd think not.
 
Essendon have been told that we will use pick 8 in another deal if they don't respond in good faith tomorrow by midday. We have offered JSOS pick 8 and future first for Oliver.
What...

We are going to miss out on Oliver because we want to offer Pick 8 in good faith for Saad?
No way on Earth... If that's true, what? NO WAY!!

Surely we could get Saad another way?

I can definitely see us giving them an ultimatum on a deal that includes pick 8, or else we split the pick. But I can’t see us giving an ultimatum by midday tomorrow that would see us trade away all our best trade assets for another player altogether, leaving us little to actually try and secure the player that has openly nominated us.
