Only IF we can’t lure a big fish. So sit back and wait, and we’ll let you know what scraps we will throw your way once we have finished our search for any available big fish. 😂😂😂

What do you want us to do, if we offer anything less than a mid teen pick as a reasonable offer, we all know dodoro would force us to get Saad free in the draft against our wishes, so why attack us for using the draft when even you agree pick 7 and a second back is too much.. make up your mind lol

We can all have an opinion on what we think is going to happen. But we can also read the landscape and common sense to get a better idea, and for now at least we are still trying to lure a big fish, and I’m sorry but depending on if we can and or how big the fish is, pick 7 would have to be a...

Martin says hi.

We don’t have to do sh’t. It’s not our problem Saad walked out on Essendon.

Be as sarcastic as you like, but it’s clear as day that we need our best currency in tact for now while still talking to any big fish out there, that’s just common sense which Essendon supporters can’t seem to grasp! It would be stupid to commit pick 7 to a Saad trade and then be left short...

Nah that’s fine, Dodoro can keep making ridiculous requests for all I care. We’ll just ignore them and focus all our energy on finding an A-grade player and use our pick 7 plus next future first on him. And by the time Dodo the bird is ready to start making fair and reasonable requests we’ll...

Imagine if Essendon and Brisbane can’t agree, and Joe walks himself into the PSD. That would mean that Swans go from being prepared to give pick 9 + 3 last year to getting him for nothing this year. It’s too hard to believe that a scenario like that is even a possibility lol

Not our fault your list manager/club had a public sook about Saad and pissed him off. Your club is the one that opened the door to the draft, if anyone is to blame its them, we don’t need to cover for the mistakes your club made in its list management/behaviour!

Not passive aggressive, just facts mate. Not my fault Dodoro and your club threw away whatever leverage you had when they had a public sook and trashed Saad in the media to the point he doesn’t care about getting his former club adequate compensation by threatening to walk into the draft. Use...

At least you understand we have several options available, but for some reason you can’t seem to understand that we have several options available for the Saad trade as well. In fact we have even more options available for the Saad trade than a big name player trade precisely because Saad is...

It’s using common logic, admittedly something Essendon supporters don’t know how to do. We are still reportedly trying to lure a big fish to the club which makes sense. And if we are successful in the next month, we’d need our best picks in tact to complete such a trade, including pick 7...

You think I’m dreaming? Haha Like Carlton would turn down a big name fish if he agrees to come to us in the next month just so we can use pick 7 in a Saad trade hahahaha No wonder Dodoro gets to keep his job for decades when Essendon fans think they way you do lol

And we’d take that as a last resort, but for now we are still trying to hook a big fish and pick 7 might be needed for that. If we have no leads come trade week, then pick 7 and something back or a pick in the mid teens if we can secure it would work.

Still just over 3 weeks until trade period and then the whole trade period to go. If we attract a big name fish in that time frame you can bet your life on it we would offer our best picks for him and give you what’s left over.

If I want to buy a bike of you for $50 but I only have a $100 note in my pocket, I don’t just say ‘here take the 100 just because I don’t have anything smaller’ Either I look for someone to change my $100bill into smaller notes, and if I can’t do that I work out a deal with you to throw in...

Right now we are most likely looking to split pick 7 with some steak knives into 2 mid teen picks so we can continue searching for a big name player. But if something unexpected happens and we attract a big big fish and we need pick 7 plus next years future pick for him, then pick 7 wouldn’t...

We have all our picks in tact this year and next year, I’m sure 100% confident we can work out a deal for one or more teen picks with another club. Only variable is whether we can attract a big name fish before the end of trade week in which case we’d use all our best picks on him before...

here you go. https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/essendons-adam-saad-threatening-to-walk-out-to-carlton-in-afl-pre-season-draft-c-1372777

Our fans aren’t being arrogant, we are stating that even with all the leverage in negotiations, we will still see a mid teen pick as a reasonable price to pay. But we are also dealing with Dodoro and his Essendon faithful so we know it could get messy and we might be forced to get him free in...

Lol. I know you are trying to make yourself feel better that Dodoro has any kind of leverage, but you just have to accept that no team below us will risk their future rebuilds by using their best draft pick on a guy who made it clear he wasn’t interested in meeting with anyone besides Carlton.

You arguments read like a 9 year old boys arguments, honestly You think any club would use their first round pick on Saad on the day of National Draft knowing they couldn’t convince him to be interested during trade period? Lol

from the same article: ‘But Saad won’t meet with any other team suddenly willing to pay up, with his management reportedly making it clear he has no interest playing elsewhere.’ you hanging your hat on the word ‘reportedly’ in an article is very funny haha

Oh come on, refuting a narrative claimed on one of the biggest sports sites in Australia isnt every little bit of bullsh’t. By your standard, if you want to dismiss this article then any reports in any article not attributed to direct quotes of people would also be bullsh’t and we’d have no...

Again why would they wait until draft day to use their first round pick in a trade, why not try to convince him right now now instead of force him on draft day?

If a team was willing to use their first round pick on Saad in National Draft, why aren’t they in there working a deal for Saad right now? Why wait until draft day and use your fist round selection to pick up a player who they know doesn’t want to play for them instead of trying to convince him...

Why hasn’t Saad or his camp or even Carlton come out and said SEN is making up bullsh’t? Seems they could have ended this whole narrative in 2 seconds but we’re happy for the narrative to continue, wonder why.

there you go. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/10/08/adam-saad-prepared-to-enter-the-draft-to-leave-essendon/ In case you get technical, it’s not a direct quote from Saad or his management, but if SEN is running with what they’ve been told then I’ll take their word.

And Carlton should not have to pay overs to Essendon to cover all the mistakes that Essendon have brought upon themselves last few years. We did it last year, we heavily front ended Martin, and we can do it this year.... i don’t believe for one second that any team is willing to risk their...

What are you on about. Saad’s camp literally said it publicly, they threatened to walk into the draft and also added they are unwilling to meet with or do any medical with any other clubs. Id hate to have you negotiating on a house for me that was about to be repossessed, you’d just end up...
