Excellent footballer, really rate him though his body let’s him down.

Worth a first round pick for sure but think Essendon should be holding him to his contract.

Perhaps there’s a deal to be done with Brisbane via the Draper free agency move, as others have alluded to.
 
We need to close the door of this northbound bus driving around Essendon.
There's another one driving around ready to pick-up what's left.
 
Sure. Convince one to come and we’ll talk.

Zane dursma wants out of north. He’s probably about halfway there.

Beyond that I’m sure you have some players on the older/more expensive side who you wouldn’t mind moving on that might be interested in going to a different club with more opportunities

Surely we can find a future first from a mid tier team to throw in (or Maybe Collingwood they’d be fun to death ride)

So Ridley + 1M for Zane Dursma, mid tier first and band 1 for Draper seems fair.
Unfortunately this is a compassionate trade request and the Riddler is at his lowest value. It’s sad but it’s a cruel world innit.

Melbourne almost Killed Trac and didn’t trade him. Has to work for all parties. Nature of the buisness

I wouldn't touch Zane Duursma he's Norths version of Elijah Tsatas

this is all a bit too complicated.

just accept our future first and move on.
 
We're just as much of a feeder club to them as they are to us.

Jaxxon Prior, Josh Green, Tom Cutler... Do I need to go on?
You dont need to go on. Comparing these three players to Ridley and Draper is a bit silly. Green and Prior were delisted by Brisbane and Cutler traded for late picks.There are levels.

Two firsts and a second for an injury riddled player

What if we rort the cap to give the bombers money for Draper to stay there? I’ll trade our first rounder to them for that outcome thanks.

I’ll reluctantly let the riddler stay at the hangar too.

We can’t turn our backs on those in need. Drapes and the Riddler need us. This is a humanitarian mission.

Thank you for taking my post literally. I meant every word. It wasn't a piss take in the slightest.

Good soldiers know that sometimes they must be left behind. I’ll reluctantly leave Drapes at the hangar when we airlift the riddler out.

These terms are agreeable
 
you can want rayner and mccluggage all you like, at the end of the day they don't want essendon.

I mean no one wants Essendon it’s men’s division is a mess. (The AFLW team is 3-0 and seems like a good vibe)

That’s where it gets complicated. just the nature of where both clubs are right now. No good/established players want to go to Essendon (for good reason) and Brisbane doesn’t have much in the way of expendable mid tier young talent or draft assets due to your recent success with father sons/academy.

Like I said I think there’s a reasonable trade package around 2 mid tier assets and band 1 compo. Just going to be tricky to get to the right deal due to all the moving parts
 
Yes Ridley would most likely be VFL depth like Doedee
