Not trying to pretend he is a superstar that is going to change our club. But you wont get much better delisted/undrafted players
Rather take a chance on Ted Clohesy. Or someone who can can play small forward.

Phillips can only play inside mid and we have about 12 players who should get games in midfield before him.

imagine being Essendon and the only player you trade in is Fiorini and your spruiking what an immense pickup it is for your club...........reminds of the George Horlin-Smith and Matt Rosa days - no disrespect to Brayden but he isn't the great white hope who can propel a bottom four side to the finals.........they are in a world of hurt

Anthony Miles and Corey Ellis was our blockbuster trade in 18 - those were truly the dark ages. I still listen to trade radio for 5 hours a day

Don't like that at all. seems way overs unless there is a kicker where they pay some money....
Ultimately Petrarca is more likely to win us a flag then a pick in the teens next year. I agree it’s more than he is worth but I’d much rather have him in our team.

Do we know what the implications of going into deficit this year are if we have watered down selection of pics next year, can we still go into deficit if required?
 
Pick 24 and 28 is equivalent to pick 12-13

If pick 66 comes with. They’ll probably end up being worth points by the time all the other picks get soaked up

It’s still essentially pick 7 and 8 for petracca

Could win the flag and future 1 is worth only pick 20
 
If we did a deal with Essendon (Fiorini) not to bid. Along with Melbourne in (Petracca trade)

If Richmond don’t bid on Patterson at 4. The bid could be all the way down to say pick 9
