Hey guys, scuse the intrusion. Thought you might like to have this resource on your board (mods might like to sticky):

Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
I see it more that we read the tea leaves. West Coast were going to trade down with someone to get Chesser. It must have become apparent that Johnson was sliding and whoever West Coast traded with would have taken Sinn or Hobbs. Essendon at next pick would get the one not picked. That means we would have missed out on one of the players we had identified. I think the only thing we didn't bank on was West Coast not taking Johnson, it must have been a late change of heart by them. There's no way we wanted to use a future 2nd but our hand was forced. I think we clearly work on the policy with trading/drafting that some times we overpay to get what we want.I think people are more pissed because they think we blinked last night with the pick trade.
Fox Footy yesterday morning had our doomsday scenario as a team trading up and grabbing the player we want.
They didnt know exactly who that player could be, but they might have been on the money about the general plot arc.
They also reported mid-afternoon that Essendon had switched their attention to Sinn.
Two favorites left would have to be Zac Taylor and Sam Butler. If deals went down for either of those two I'd be stoked but if not I'd be more than happy just taking Jase tonight and leaving it at thatPlayers still available: * = SA

Just trade Motlop, Jonas and Charlie to GC for Jack.If we've traded next year's second rounder, we won't be able to pair it with Riley Bonner to secure Jack Luckoscius![]()
So Josh will be nick named "Villi"?Johnson didn't go in the top 20 so I'm happy with the pick. The draft is about getting good players not just maximising points.
Last weekend I literally almost bought a $10 sausage roll but changed my mind. It looked good!
Is the Zapruder film back from the Chemist yet of Essendon's reaction when we did the trade and nabbed Sinn?
You cannot trade both a future 1st and 2nd out unless you trade one of those back in..2022 1st Round for Freos pick, lets get either Johnson or Draper and put an extra year of development into them
Re Ladhams trade - have to remember we wanted to move him on and there were some what limited suitors….we weren’t trying to trade Gawn / Grundy tier ruckman
Re Sausage Roll - I paid $10 for a small sausage roll and a small pie on the Jetstar flight to Adelaide last night…..so you could say a full size sausage roll would be $10….no sauce was available
We've got 34 senior listed players, I think the minimum is 38, meaning we have at least four senior spots left.
Assuming we get Trent Dumontwith either a late pick at the end of the draft, in the pre-season draft or as a delisted free agent (doesn't really matter which one), Jace Burgoyne somewhere in the third round, he would only cost us our second pick (it was #62, it'll probably be somewhere around #50), we then have two picks in a row near the end of the fourth round.PLAYERCARDSTART43Trent Dumont

Could we get Jordan Lukac as a Category B rookie? His background is Zimbabwean, he's in our zone, we do need a developing ruckman, low risk high reward there
An exciting small forward. They went early on him, but hes decent
"He plays back and kicks on the left ... back and on the left ..."Is the Zapruder film back from the Chemist yet of Essendon's reaction when we did the trade and nabbed Sinn?
With a late pick I wouldn't mind someone who gets a ton of the ball and clearances but perhaps lacks a bit of polish. Someone like Josh Browne or Hugh Jackson? Doesn't get as much ball going by his stats, but would Kade Dittmar be a good option as an inside mid?
Jetstar can F off with those prices that’s why I always keep a Sausage Roll in my pants for these accusations. Just whip it out when the Hostess is not lookingRe Sausage Roll - I paid $10 for a small sausage roll and a small pie on the Jetstar flight to Adelaide last night…..so you could say a full size sausage roll would be $10….no sauce was available
