Maybe Jake or his manager are giving the club mixed messages.
Maybe they don't want other suitors to think Essendon are out of the picture, and jack up the price another notch.

If you approach all trade talks and rumours as just being managers jacking up prices it all makes a lot more sense.

bing bing bing, we have a winner

honestly, i subscribe to the view of worry about player movements after the trade period. before that, a lot of it is hot air from managers or the media getting clicks

I'd like to see how our offer compares financially to rival clubs? Can we offer big bucks like he can get elsewhere? I would've thought so with winders, chap & fletch all retiring there is surely cap space to offer him 600k+?

Although it begs to ask the question is he worth that?

I would really like him to stay, we are a basket case and we know that but could this be the player movement that starts an eventual exodus? Hrm..

With TBC signing I reckon that, if Jake is staying, a new contract should be able to be negotiated more quickly. If it continues to drag on I think we can safely assume he is gone.

Money isn't the reason he wants to leave

Hes not playing for his career, he's playing for his next non-injured contract, no real surprises he's bruise free.

Is there any reason why Geelong haven't been thrown up in the Carlisle trade debate? Given that they are right into Henderson would they not rather a better/younger talent? I assume it's purely a salary cap issue...

Salary cap would be my thinking, especially with trying to go after Danger.

Tom browne spoke to him today for Talking Footy. Says it was an interesting chat. Not sure if that is good or bad for us. Could be after he has looked like he is leaving that he may have flipped to wanting to stay at the club. Could be wrong but I hope that's the case

I want an announcement this Sunday after the game, unless he genuinely hasn't made his mind up, which I find hard to believe.

Unfortunately, I also agree that he is playing a bit bruise free at the moment.
