Just a but of thought on a Liam Reidy trade. If Carlton get an end of first round pick for Silvagni is that pick gettable?

Carlton have a father son who'll go first round. Assuming he's going after TDK compensation pick, Carlton might be interested in downgrading the end of first round pick.

All this involves our second rounder of course, along with one or two of third rounders (haven't done the maths on points). Reidy is then thrown is as steak knives.

We'd enter the draft with two first rounders and most likely two fourth rounders (Port's and our own). Realistically it'll be two first rounders and Whan.

All this assumes McVee re-sign

Liam Reidy is basically worth nothing. So your hypothetical is basically us swapping out current late round pick for Carlton’s first. Possible? Maybe, but I’d say they would have better offers from several other clubs.


You can basically disregard the value of Reidy here. He’s OOC - it’s a future 4th or 5th rounder in reality.
 
Zach's copping for heat on how he has handled this.

But honestly was there any other option.

He can't just sit there i would be like to be traded.

The answer will be a firm NO.

He had to go Nuclear and basically make the situation untenable.

If he was a Freo player i would be pissed off no doubt.

But honestly Essendon only have themselves to blame - Years of empty promises they have now decided to do a full on rebuild which is going take 5-6 years and Zach's gone well i wont be around when we next to contend so why should i stay.
I doubt we would be in with a shot, but is Zach really what we are after? He’s smaller than Serong, and we already have a small midfield. Unless we see him playing a Zorko role in the back?

I dont even think he's gone nuclear, it's Essendon blowing the whole thing up, not him
 
Lachie will only return to Perth to play for Freo.

He won't play for the Eagles he will stay in Brissy if he can't end up at Freo.

We don't seem like we are interested though which is fair enough considering the price we have to pay.

Put the pettiness or bitterness aside how he left.

Does he make our team better is the question you have to answer if Lachie said i want to be traded to Freo.

Assuming Draft Guru is updated for new points index

Our later picks as it stands. I think it's possible chucking in Reidy gets Carltons Silvagni compo.

If we arent bringing anyone of note in, I can easily see the goal to be to take two top 25 picks to the draft and then Whan later and tap out
 
Not attending the bnf you’re expected to win is really blowing things up.

The whole meeting with an oppo coach I feel gets blown out of the water so much and so many players do it, but Sam Mitchell just loves to leak it every time he does. Probably part of his tactic. Blow it up, cause instability at current club to force the player to move because otherwise it’s really awkward.

You take him over JOM any day of the week. Especially for cheap. But apparently JOM can do no wrong so we don’t need to replace him.

Of course it it. Mitchell is an absolute grub.

**** I hope crows beat them tonight

Have any of the players that he has met with chosen Hawks?
He met with Allen, but he’s off to Brisbane, and there is no guarantee that Zach will end up at Hawks.
Leaking meetings like this could back fire too, as the player may be dirty that they have been outed.

Liam Reidy isn’t Meek. Be lucky to even get a fourth rounder
 
The boys on the Restump pod yesterday (notorious freo optimists too) suggested they had mail from a reliable source mid year that Amiss was annoyed with his role in the forward line at the dockers and they went on to speculate a bit about him asking for a trade.
Thought that kind of talk was surprising coming from those two guys

When he re-signed last time were Essendon committed to a rebuild then.
He signed an extension, for more dollars, last year. Despite still having an existing contract.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true but also would bet my life that absolutely nothing comes from it.

Might not be happy with the role but highly highly doubt it would progress to a trade request.

Sure Mitchell is a grub and definitely leaked the meeting what if Essendon just handled it maturely instead of another Scott public bitching session interview? They've made the whole thing harder than it needs to be

That rumour was floating for some days and the flagmantle bloke has also posted as well. Even if it true it is solved as Joey said Jackson may not play forward next year with full time middle either ruck or rower? May be occasion stint in F50.
 
While we need half back flankers, it might be a risk for McVee to come here, he may not actually be best 22 if Cooper Simpson continues to improve at the rate he is.
The risk is that McVee wants to play wing or midfield despite being largely untried there. He would start his career off hb but eventually move up the field.

Brad is definitely the Temu Scott, isn't he? Imagine being a twin and spending your whole adult life knowing your genetically identical sibling was a better player, better coach, better operator. It would mess with your psyche
