Okay, if we want to get really wild...

Lets say GC blink and decide to do 5 & F1 for our 4 & F2 in order to secure Humphrey.

Then lets say it is Tsatas that Melbourne wants and they blink..

We do 5 for 13, F1 (Freo) & F1 (Melbourne)

From there, we trade 22 and F1 (Melb) for Sydney's 14.

Leaving us with...

2022: 13, 14, Davey x 2, Munkara
2023: F1, F1 (GC), F1 (Freo)
The way this is going, by the end of tonight we might have all of the 2023 picks.

Well then the answer to ‘whether we should trade back’ is a pretty easy one then.

Unless the offer is genuinely coco bananas, which at this stage I’m not sure it is. I prefer quality of first rounders rather than quantity for us at the moment.

That's so crazy it just might work!
 
This is where the new Essendon can make a stand.

Go with the same old “best available” (tsatas) or go for list balance and take the higher upside (Philippou)

We wait and see in a few hours

Agreed.

I have been tempted to say this a few times but I didn't want to be attacking anyone in particular.

If the analysis doesn't support the business as usual conclusion the conclusion cannot be business as usual.

We've already failed to build a team from picks 1, 5 and 6 taken in the space of 2 drafts. That's supposed to be enough to set a team up for an era, it should have set up this era.

Free yourselves from football dogma, people.

Followed by a dozen ad breaks before the SportsBet(tm) Pick 2 at 8:30
Yes, and even though the first few teams definitely know who they will select and have a plan B option, they all use their allotted 3 or 5 minutes to drag it out further ie the AFL wont recognise the pick in its system until TV has had time to interview the last guy picked and/or get an advert in.
 
The plot thickens, considering where we are at in our rebuild, an additonal couple of F1s next year is appealing, high end talent in multiple back to back to back drafts. But with the calibre of players Dodo and RFK have in front of them right now atm think they'd lean towards keeping things simple there (Phillipou please). Unless we get an absolute Godfather (or should that be Dodfather) offer I'd hold onto what we've got.

Curious to see if we'll look to upgrade 22 in some shape or form.
 
What I want:
Phillipou
Hewett
Davey x2
Munkara

What I think we'll get:
Tsatas
Hayes
Davey x2
Mystery person who was 'high on our draft board'
Only difference to your want list for me is Szybowski over Hewett but I would be very pleased with Hewett.


Again, your 'what we get' is what I think too.
Good post.
 
Does a 3 way trade get it done

GC in: Pick 4 (Get there man Humphry)
GC out: Pick 5 and F2

Melb/Dogs out: 3 First rounders
Melb/Dogs in: Pick 5 (Gets them there Tsatas) + 22

Ess In: 3 first rounders and F2 (Suns)
Ess out: Pick 4 and 22

I know essendon fans will continue to want more
