Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Pretty sure he came over and they decided against it. Believe there was a bit of negative feedback about the idea from both the men's and women's teams

What did he get done for? I need to go google

 

[eaglevision]

I feel like 5 and 9 for 2 and 13 is much more up Matt Clarke's alley than us getting 5 and 6

I hope we just keep 1, 2 and 13. And 13 should be the only one we look to flip

Let’s hope he sticks to what he said publicly.

Try and get 21 out of them too but worst case settle on 2,13 for 5,6 and hit the draft with 1,5,6.

Still think it’s better for us to trade the “matching” picks for F2s if possible.

Ok, i've googled.

Think will be tough ask to sign up to him, even if he's been given all clear now.

shouldn’t be invited anywhere near this football club, there couldn’t be an easier decision to make than passing on this bloke.

I suspect 17 other clubs will arrive at that conclusion pretty quickly too (maybe 16 as the Saints were sniffing around him like the scumbags they are).

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Wtf what happened. I thought essedon said Zach is staying. Then Hawks stumped up a predictable offer and dons are open????

Surely when they said they were not keen they could have seen that predictable offer

Geelong may sniff also, but it’s because they are the good guys who get the best out of the worst. Or something like that.

Yep, imagine Baily Smith with the journalist but Tarryn punches her instead.

Keep 13

2, 34 for 5 and 6.

Points difference = pick 25.

They are trading into the top tranche of the draft, not shuffling a few spots in the teens.

Hit the draft with 1, 5, 6, 13, then 41 and 52 are backups for bids.

Obviously I’d prefer that but if push came to shove I’d take the deal for 13, provided 5,6 was Sharp, Cumming.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

I would take it if i was Essendon given the ill will between the club and Merrett.

And they probably will, but the AFL needs a club to stand up and say you players don't get to decide all. Everyone will cry the mental health card if a player doesn't get what he wants, but don't sign long contracts if you can't see out your part of it.

 

[FatPizza]

I want Cumming because it'd be a never ending source of innuendo.

 

[Obeanie1]

Obviously I’d prefer that but if push came to shove I’d take the deal for 13, provided 5,6 was Sharp, Cumming.

That would mean we are reaching.

The Dons want CDT then they will pay for him. Or Melbourne will, possibly Richmond.

Why? Ugle Hagen is getting another free ride in. Screwed the Bulldogs and they get nothing for him

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I would make the Hawks sell the farm and then some for their shady dealings this year. And I dont mean speaking to players. Im talking about deliberately leaking the chats to the media to cause friction at the target club. Merrett and Allen the case in point. Only way the media found out about both of these was from Mitchell or the hawks leaking it.

I could be wrong but i reckon Essendon will stretch this out to the final hour of trade week to squeeze every bit of juice out of the lemon that they can. but they will end up taking whatever the final offer is from Hawthorn by the time that final hour rolls around.

Almost a certainty. The AFL will have already told both clubs that they will announce the deal as well as the Curnow one with in the last hour.
It's just all theatre.

 

[eaglevision]

I don’t think they are a reach at all. Clearly I’d rather send back as little as possible but if it came to it and 2,13 becomes Sharp and Cumming then sign me up.

Thomas trialled with Port Melbourne and Swan Districts this year and both turned him down, speaks volumes for mine.

 

[In The Rod We Trust]

If we can split pick 2 and keep 13.

Could a play for Carlton's F1 for 13 after their F/S bid on draft night be a play.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Swans turned him down because of the backlash from their AFLW players.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Why? Ugle Hagen is getting another free ride in. Screwed the Bulldogs and they get nothing for him

Because, after multiple indiscretions and many instances of club arranged training, counselling and education, he continued to threaten and harass women and was stood down for ultimately showing no remorse or making any effort to change his dogshit behaviour.

Go win an ammos footy B+F mate, have a kick on the weekend, nobody is saying you can’t play footy anymore, but your untapped potential isn’t grounds for an AFL career when your behaviour is not that of a professional. Not swayed by the second chance argument when the bloke is on about his 15th chance.

 

[eaglevision]

Won’t happen with Cody Walker next year.

 

[Ochre]

Why? Ugle Hagen is getting another free ride in. Screwed the Bulldogs and they get nothing for him

So he's actually a different person with a different circumstance.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Attempt at a side

B: Rory Lobb - James Sicily - Noah Balta
HB: Dayne Zorko - Steven May - Brayden Maynard
C: Jordan De Goey - Jason Horne Francis - Jake Stringer
HF: Jack Ginnivan - Taylor Walker - Toby Greene
FF: Tom Papley - Tom Lynch - Nick Watson
R: Mason Cox - Clayton Oliver - Bailey Smith

JHF out, Rankine in.

 

[Deepthroat]

What do people think our likelihood is to raise a bid with either 1 or 2?

 

[kane249]

Swans turned him down because of the backlash from their AFLW players.

They still turned him down Migs, anywhere Thomas goes he's going to keep getting the same scrutiny due to his long history
