Hmmmm, I wouldn't be too sure. Scum arrogance suggests it is possible.
Best case. Sydney severely overpay for Daniher when they're already hamstrung by the backend of Buddy's deal. Essendon lose Daniher and receive a compensation pick that is well less than Sydney have reportedly been offering this past week.
Cogs would've been matched mate. Its why he stayed.
Allowed them to match mate.
I very much doubt Cogs decision to re-sign was based on the fact that GWS would match an offer from the Hawks. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Had everything to do with it. Believe what you want.
Did he manage to squeeze Daniher in despite being cripled?
In the absence of a more plausible story, I will do just that.

Hopefully there's still a way for all club list managers and player agents to know what deals are done but not yet announced so that any additional deals that would happen as a result of them aren't artificially delayed until the final 2 hours.
Dodo is probably going to accept it in the end. He'll be thrown on the shoulders of the Essendon faithful and praised for being a master trader. A week and a half of staring down the Swans to squeeze just a little more on top of what was already a very generous offer. Yet he'll likely walk away from the trade period not having had time to address the main issue that was apparently holding everything back - that they won't have a ready to go KPF. That or they'll end up with Jenkins, which is arguably worse.
