thatLet’s start with recent history. In the last 2 years the trades that dragged out the longest and basically need the AFL to step in are… Ryder and Crameri
This appeared almost exactly one year ago to the day in the Herald Scum
"ESSENDON wants any of Hamish Hartlett, Ollie Wines or Chad Wingard as a 'fair-trade' return from Port Adelaide for ruckman-forward Paddy Ryder according to Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro"
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/essendon-seeks-hamish-hartlett-ollie-wines-or-chad-wingard-from-port-adelaide-for-patrick-ryder-trade/story-fni5f22o-1227081220857?sv=da25f1507c2a6fef7ff705cb509f79fd
And then from the AFL website almost two years ago
"After weeks of haggling, Crameri finally became a Bulldog during the second last day of the trade period when Essendon accepted the Bulldogs' second-round draft pick for him.
It ended up being selection 26 which ... felt light on for the Bombers, given the Dogs had lured Crameri on a four-year deal worth about $1.8 million. Essendon hoped for a pick in the teens.
Knowing that the Bulldogs' prized No.4 pick was always off limits ... it was a second-round selection or Crameri could walk into the pre-season draft and Essendon would get nothing for him. That was always a last resort for the Bulldogs and not they way they wanted to do business, but it was still an option if all else failed"

Now this year, your list manager starts playing his typical negotiating game where he says “Carlisle is worth 5 but we will accept a pick in the mid-teens" (eerily similar to the Bulldogs situation above)
But as before, he goes on to be an a**hole and refuses to negotiate a multi-team deal. Instead he takes a self-entitled attitude saying we want that pick in the teens but we won’t help you get it – it is your problem to satisfy us and we wont deal with a third party.
That approach makes us do all the heavy lifting, even though your net result hinges on our ability to negotiate.
If Dodo would help negotiate a 3 team deal, we could potentially get a better downgraded draft pick return by involving say GWS or GC, and Essendon would get a better return for Carlisle.
But no ... their list manager is a belligerent muppet who says either give us 5 or go find us a pick in the teens. Who refuses to be involved in constructive multi-team negotiations to help us net them a better return for Carlisle
Now that is the last 3 years. Anyone who wants to go back further is welcome to

Asking for Wines or Wingard (lol) as part of the Ryder trade.
LOL. It is not about insecurity. I just want some discussion. Explain it to me bigfooty brainiacs.
You do realise that he was delisted don't you?
Booooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!This thread reminds me of WC supporters starting threads about their home umpiring and crowds
How do you actually know any of that regarding St Kilda or are you just reading between the lines with a St Kilda slant?Let’s start with recent history. In the last 2 years the trades that dragged out the longest and basically need the AFL to step in are… Ryder and Crameri

95% of the people who continually trot out this line are Essendon supporters. No one else really cares
How do you actually know any of that regarding St Kilda or are you just reading behind the lines with a St Kilda slant?
You having a laff? Why would you ask for a first rounder and then delist said player?
That is remarkably different to what you posted previously.From your own website mate
"We certainly think a fair deal is their first selection (5) ... We’re not interested in third party, fourth party deals"

How so? Explain it to me…
Last year, St Kilda were interested in Myers from Essendon. Dodoro wanted pick 1 from the Saints and an established player..
Tell me how that's not difficult or unreasonable??
11 years since a finals win? He shouldn't have a job.Disco is not the problem. We were sanctioned pretty heavily and have had a few players leave. Having one pick between the first and second round of the draft over two years hurts.
Your previous post is interesting though… Turning Tony Delaney into Matthew Lloyd was genius.
