Roast Essendon in no mans land

Darcy as in Parish? No one is giving up a top 10 pick for him

Means Draper for sure as FA

Yeah that is possible. God I hate the FA compensation system

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Interestingly I heard Jenkins on the radio on Sunday talking about the Bombers and how they could structure themselves to have 3 top 10 picks in this years draft. This includes:

1. your own pick (which quite possibly will be a high pick)
2. Melbourne's pick (I think it was Demons...traded at last years draft and which quite possibly will be a high pick)
3. Trade out Darcy for a top 10 pick

If the Bombers go down this path, that's one heck of a handy haul.

What do you think Bomber supporters?

Jenkins is having a ****in absolute laugh if he thinks Parish will get a top 10 pick. Parish's body is absolutely and utterly cooked. He looks at a Sherrin and his calf goes ping

Only way get 3 x top 10 picks is if Draper goes FA and we get first round compo.

Sorry gents I meant Draper. Not Darcy.

Yes he was referring to first round compo for the big guy.

Yeah people say that on the Essendon board too.

Then there is our 2 2nd round picks which due to the new points curve and academy prospects could be turned into a pretty good pick.

We could make a compelling offer if Reid is interested and if we’re willing to potentially overpay

I’d rather a scatter gun approach with multiple picks than risk 3 assets on Reid

To be fair, If Reid plays like this all season 2 may be enough. They might want to get rid of him before his value dives.

 

[Old M8]

Have Essendon turned a type of player like Reid, that looks to lack professionalism and skirt-by on talent, around?

Ignoring the state of their current list and mortgaging their future in the way of 2/3 first rounds picks would be something to behold.

It’s a risk I don’t want to take but not sure how it’s mortgaging the future. He’s 20 or something ffs

If it's theirs and Dees first for Reid and Eagles second back, it's still two potential players for one known commodity and another hit at the draft.

Eagles will probably want more though and demand an extra first rounder. Maybe two X second round picks coming back.

Again, this doesn't work without leadership around them to help them develop.

Two or three first round picks and what would be one of the largest contracts in the AFL on a kid that lacks professionalism

It’s more like their first, Dees first and a second rounder minimum even at current form. If Reid dominates a few games this year it’s probably 3 first rounders. He’s under contract.

Don’t forget the contract that’ll be offer at what might be 9 years at $1.7-2m

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Who told you that lol?

Our trading and drafting has been ****in rubbish for 15 years.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Slimy greasy fella had friends in high places threw others to the bus

You will find with clubs like Essendon and the Blues from history had people in high positions that were only there to build up there own portfolio away from footy Business etc rather then a focus on football Dodo was one of those fellas

Dodo also knew where the bodies were buried…

 

[hoddo22]

Dodo also knew where the bodies were buried…

And one day, when the $$$ figures are just right, those bodies will be exhumed.

Also he'd be yearning for the attention by then.

[raskolnikov]

How can a team that won 15 straight off-season periods be in this position?
Surely their fans can't have lied when year after year they derided us all with how good their trading and drafting was.

Something doesn't add up, a team that dominates every draft and every trade period shouldn't be even close to what the Bombers currently are......

Lol. Go on the Essendon board and come back and say that.

There are similarities between Brad Scott at Essendon and Terry Wallace at Richmond.

Scott doesn’t have any wooden spoons unlike Wallace.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

They have done bloody well to get Melbourne's pick because right now they are the absolute epitome of a 10-12 team.

10-12 is very generous !

 

[jannissary]

if dodoro was in charge, that trade swap would've been treated as a master stroke, alas, rosa was criticised for the action.

playing 2 steps ahead.

Epitome of a 10-12 team is a team that's certain to be bottom 4?
