8 + future third for saad + future second or fanta compo pick. Not hard now stop lying

 

[WeninRome]

Now the headline has changed...It's obviously an Essendon spin piece.

I thought GWS wanted a first rounder for Caldwell.

NO! GWS will be given what * tell them.

We're paying overs. What the * are * complaining about?

 

[BIuebagger]

We didn't back out of the deal for 8 + future fourth for saad + future third because we never agreed to it.

Thanks TCP. The narrative of our side of the deal doesn’t match up to what we want. The fact we never agreed makes more sense.

 

[Brezsa]

The one thing that has been annoying me all week in the media is, the whole argument that Carlton are delaying trade period. That’s not Carlton’s problem, realistically the Saad deal is Carlton’s biggest fish, Austin’s obligation is to get the best deal possible and he has until 730pm tomorrow. It isn’t Carlton’s problem or concern if it means Essendon can’t get what they need to do their other deals. Austin has no obligation to go early then sit back so other things can happen. That’s Essendon’s concern

 

[tencentpiece]

Any updates that isn’t laced with insanity?

'We can't give future second because we need it for Caldwell'
Ok, we will take the pick port has offered for fanta
'No no no we want more than that for fanta'
Ok, talk to you later

Looks perfect from our POV.

 

[tencentpiece]

Saying saad camp unhappy with us also completely untrue.

“Tom Morris has the details”, now there are some words you can trust.

 

[sparkyblue]

More than happy for the Blues to outline their demands to * and walk away if not met. You don't pay a premium for uncontracted players who want out. Providing he isn't willing to do a medical elsewhere, we'll land him in the PSD. Play the long game, Baggers.

Its about time Carlton forgot about Dodo though.. i mean, bypass the bs negotiating of whats coming back etc.. Go and get a higher pick than 8 in a pick swap and get the currency we want as return for 8 and get the highest pick, like a 13 or whatever...

 

[marleyblue]

Yeah you’re probably right. Don’t actually like that tactic from us to be honest. If true, it’s quite disrespectful to Saad and the other party to agree to terms then renege. It’s the kind of stuff * would do.

As a matter of good practice, it’s better to just reject the terms put forward and wait for them to come up with something better.

Why would anyone take the media report as gospel?? This clearly reads as yet another story planted by * to change the narrative. If we have been insistent on a 2nd coming back, why would anyone believe we agreed to a 3rd???

 

[La Dispute]

Imagine if Essendon spent as much time actually negotiating as they do leaking random tidbits to the media...

They realise you can't just reverse engineer a trade by sulking at every impasse?

Hahaha - this is premium content, keep it coming TCP.

Essendon clearly feeding media info to paint us as the bad guy...I wouldn't mind us fighting back and doing similar to turn the public pressure on them.

 

[WeninRome]

Pick 30 for Fantastia is so fair, I can't believe Essendon said no.

 

[Anzac16]

8 + future third for saad + future second or fanta compo pick. Not hard now stop lying

I understand why Essendon want to get the best deal for themselves but this is more than fair given he's out of contract. Basically values Saad at around Pick 13-15 depending on finishes positions next year. Which is spot on.

 

[resolute_blue]

Now the headline has changed...It's obviously an Essendon spin piece.

Don’t mind this at all. Make Dodo sweat and wait for him to crack. Austin just toying with him now

 

[Gethelred]

10cp goes bang!

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

8 + future third for saad + future second or fanta compo pick. Not hard now stop lying

Their future second will be pick 19 or 20 so I can understand their reticence.

 

[sweethoney]

Saying saad camp unhappy with us also completely untrue.

Time for Saad to speak to the media about his real reasons for leaving?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Essendon clearly feeding media info to paint us as the bad guy...I wouldn't mind us fighting back and doing similar to turn the public pressure on them.

I'd honestly rather us not engage in media spinfares. Let the pathetic clubs do that.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Nice to see the media flat out lying now

Pure spin from * to try and make us look like we're being unreasonable...

They sook to the media thinking that'll pressure us to accept their shitty offer.

Not gonna happen.

 

[HARKER]

Now the headline has changed...It's obviously an Essendon spin piece.

It seemed to be the case from early on that Essendon were doing whatever they did to paint us in a negative and distractive light.

It doesn't take much then for those 'reporters' to add a little more juice onto things....
