YESS

 

[Le Archie]

what was this then?

Trolling the troll.

 

[Sealz]

Is it our 2nd rounder or GWS' second rounder?

Pretty sure it's ours.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Considering the depth of next year I’d hardly say essendon win that trade outr

Guess it depends on where Essendon end up next year and how many free agent compensation picks push it back.
More than likely GCS will use it for points towards an academy player.
A fair trade for both teams i think. GCS certainly don't need anymore 2nd rd picks this year.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

2 down 1 to go.

Doesn't really matter anyway. Both clubs may finish around the same mark

 

[Milanista28]

Carlton still monitoring the situation, Will post an update soon.

 

[KermitJagger]

Fair trade for all concerned, just wasn't sold on how much Essendon actually needed Saad. Let's see if the Stringer deal gets done.

 

[StonesThrow]

Saad was a gun a couple of years ago? Why did he cost so little? Didn't see him play this year.

Good outcome for Essendon.

We’ve lost Pops Kelly and want to move Mcgrath up to the wing

Mate, he's a jet, he plays football as it should be played. Essendon win.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Adam Saad and Connor McKenna

Line breaking at it's best

 

[tipstar]

Well done to the Dons

 

[Rance2Mewtwo]

Essendon are screwing everybody this trade period. I hope they’re wearing a rubber.

McGrath I would assume stays in defense for a little bit longer a'la Callum Mills. Either way, the GWS deal for Dev Smith has made Essendon's trade period look very solid. Depending on Francis going and what you get for him, it could be 3 very solid players in without much of a loss in terms of draft position.

Eh, this deal was fairly even IMO.

 

[Suma Magic]

Bombers will be great to watch next year.

 

[Checkered]

Mid to late 20s pick is probably about right.

Being a strong draft though I'd say Gold Coast have done well here.

 

[Great8]

So pick 35-ish

I’d be hoping that it’s in the 30-36 range but still a lot of work to do

He's still the same, GC just weren't playing hard ball. Mostly to do with compassionate grounds and Saad's religious needs to move back home.

We got a 2018 second rounder from GWS in the Smith deal, so we're still in there.

McGrath has already moved mate. He played the last 3 games almost exclusively on the wing

That's because Swans have four gun mids... We don't.

Both trades have seemed beneficial to all parties involved IMO. GC didn't need another 2nd round pick this year so they got next years & Saad isn't worth more than a second rounder. The GWS trade probably leans slightly in our favour but got them into the first round of the draft which is what they wanted, it also gave us more assets to hopefully get the Stringer deal done.
