We do it late enough you can't stump up a deal to gcs (whatever you can put together now)
Gives us a few weeks to meet with him and his mgmt
Once he knows he's going to come to us with pick 8, we suggest psd. Makes his new team better
Yep, would be crazy to waste any ND pick on him if you could convince him to walk to the PSD.

Here is my question though... knowing this, why would GCS let him go for free? Doesnt that defeat the entire point of what they are doing?

Next year a GCS player could nominate Essendon and then walk to Hawthorn after it all falls apart.

where you hear mate? a journo? or Bob from across the road, makes a bit of a difference
A hawthorn contact actually.
Doubt it will happen.
Adelaide giving up too much, and pick 10 and Lyons goes against everything GC have been asking for since day 1.
Plus it was reported on SEN tonight that people associated with the Suns were quoted odds of 100-1 for a trade with Hawthorn for O'Meara to go through tomorrow.

Like I said, just telling you what I heard.

Gee I wonder why Hawthorn are offering him 700k a year then? Hmm I don't know, let me think about that. You guys says he's injured but are willing to trade away 2 club legends and offer him crazy money but complain when GC ask for a 1st round pick and a player for him. Absolutely insane.
None of our players want to go to your coch-stain of a club - not our fault

that trade netted us Carlisle, who we then got Francis for.
Shotgun we took to see if we could fix after you couldn't get his knee right
Hear that Jaeger. couldn't get his knee right. :oops:
Yeah we picked up Burgoyne in that trade because Port wouldn't offer him more than one year because of his knee (similar issue to JOM's knee) 7 years and 3 flags later....:D Hear that Jager!

Sorry to disturb you BF posters...did anyone mentioned that Essendon are hard to deal with in this thread yet?
Think we have all realised Dodoro is Mensa level genius, one of footies true genial old school gents and is a constant delight to engage with over the entirety of the trade period...

....at least compared to the Hawforn trade mob who seem determined to vanish up their own arseholes come 2pm tomorrow. Will probably never climb back out through sheer embarrassment.

The lol's, the lol's

:p

How can we be pursuing him so heavily and yet offering massive unders at the same time ?
You sold off 2017 1st and 2 decent picks this year to get pick 10 (heavy price)
10 & 48 for jaeger is unders

What you could have done is offered Adelaide the 2nd rounder for Lyons
Packaged him to gcs with your 2017 1st and had jaeger and kept 36 or whatever it was and invested in another kid in a deep draft

Gcs get their midfielder and 1st Rd pick
You get jaeger

Haha cute that you included Goddard in that.
Would you have Bird, Hocking, Howlett, Colyer or Langford ahead of Goddard in the midfield?

Goddard is still one of the best users of the ball and I'm not sure if any midfield in the competition is deep enough to cover Goddard as the 6th or 7th string midfielder.

So if were only offering pick 10 we aren't pursuing him that heavily.

But thats the inherrent problem, Hawthorn convinced him to come but don't have the assets to trade for him. We've asked for a pick and a player since the start of the trade period, while you've gone and got the pick we still want a player. Personally I hope we do a 3 way deal with Adelaide so we get Lyons and pick 10 but that may not work out completely.
That's the AFL landscape these days. GC can make it as difficult as they like, but the reality is that as long as players (and especially elite youngsters) want to leave the club, they will often find themselves in a situation where they can't get full value for the player. The successful clubs tend to allow players to leave their club, even when they don't get full value, but they also create an environment where elite players don't want to leave year in year out. GC taking a stand is admirable, but the problem is that once a player decides they want out, the club has already lost the battle, regardless of whether they get a good trade.

GC can talk all they want about wanting to get mature players, but until they can convince players to actually go there, it's nothing but a distraction. They have picks 4, 6, 8, and could have 10, and yet the only players they can convince to come to their club are Hanley and Lyons? Some combination of those picks would be more than enough to satisfy another club in a trade for an elite player, or at least a very high level player, yet GC have been unable to get any of those players to want to come to the club. And that's where GC have to take advantage of the current situation. There is nothing stopping them from poaching players from other clubs, and forcing those clubs to trade players for less than their value.

Tony Sheahan is pretty confident Suns and Swans are talking. What the hell is going on.

Someone slap some sense into me.
Please trade pick 14 for him
Eddie combined with the Hawks fans imploding will likely tilt Victoria a little closer south just in time for summer.
Gets too hot here

Look forward to seeing your boys on the dais next year :)

He's rehashing twitter talk from Monday, O'Mearas manager has since confirmed he will only go to Hawthorn.
The thing is, he's not a free agent.

So he can say he'll only go to Hawthorn all he wants, but if he's forced to hit the draft he goes where the draft takes him. And that looks dang likely to be back to the GC Suns. He can't enter the draft without agreeing to that term in the same way any young player had to agree to that.

So basically? He's shit out of luck in demanding to get to choose him next club if the great Tony Cochrane decides he's getting f***ed. And Tony seems to think he feels a presence niggling right at the entrance to his dark passage at the moment... :)

Then change the landscape, change the nomination system. It's awful that a club gets hamstrung because player can nominate where they want to go. Nominate a state, there's 2 clubs in every state at least. Let the club with the best offer win.
