[Lore]

There we go, that's the clip:

2027 first incoming!

 

[Hawkk]

Why do Essendon misspell Hawthorne on their whiteboard?

 

[jannissary]

This live vision is WILD.

fuming that i missed it

 

[cAsEy_18]

Essendon are truly scum. No wonder they've been so shit for so long. They are going no where with Zerrett. Without him they could build something with all the extra picks

Certainly the scummiest of behaviour right here.

 

[Mr Meow]

4 firsts and a future second.

Do it! Please.

The cap wasn't breached. It seems like somebody didn't understand the report.

So there was no breach of Salary cap rules? Maybe I do need to re-read the report.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Watching that he just lost his shit at them and then turned and lost his shit at Essendon

You can't really tell hey.

It looks like he was going mental at the Hawks.

But he might have been filthy at Essendon and bagging them to Hawthorn.

Who knows, but it's great TV. They're clearly not winding back Trade Week at this rate, they'd be loving it.

Trade radio says Essendon asking for 4 first round picks. Wow

 

[Erakor]

hawthorn should probably walk away before this gets crazy

Once you re-read and actually understand the report, get back to me.

No wonder the trade couldn't get done, they were speaking with the wrong club.

And a 2nd as well

The point right in McCartneys face to me was aggressive and pissed off.

Then the following double point at what I assume is the Essendon room was also aggressive.

As I said before, he looks like a man who knows he has ****ed his client over.

They are trolling at this point hahah

 

[Gavin Excell]

Dodoro looking on with pride at the new Essendon

 

[Philhawk]

This is sensational.

 

[lizard man]

This is really awful for Zach and his management… feel for them

 

[leighmo]

Hawks can only walk away now. Complete capitulation if they give up anymore

 

[HirdsTheWord]

hawks like that sicko at a pokie machine who thinks the jackpot is a spin away

walk away you morons!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Looks like a win/win... for the other 16 clubs.

Dons miss out on handy picks to rebuild before Tasmanian concessions.

Hawks miss out on quality midfielder whilst in a premiership window.

3 minutes left until D-Day

Petracca did this last year and Melbourne got a better return a year later.

Merrett's only 6 months older.

This booty hinged completely on Trac choosing GC. If he had picked a non-franchised entity that wasn't full tilt backed by the AFL, this return for his services isn't happening.

Nope. I applaud Essendon for not giving in, if it ends up that way.

The smear campaign against Essendon from Petroro was pathetic.

I hope clubs do it more often so player managers realise they're not the be all and end all.
