Its well known around the clubs that Jake had his heart set on the Saints before trade week kicked off. No club really thought about wasting there time. Hawks saw the stalling and had previously touched base with Jake manager prior to trade week. They were told he wants to go to the Saints but would entertain the deal if it falls through but it looked unlikely. Saints emphatically promised Jake would be at the club. When the Hawks realised they could satisfy Essendon's needs and saw the Saints/Essendon deal come to a hault they thought why not ask the question now. Tigers were not serious and never made an offer. Just mentioned his name from what i heard and it got blown up.
The Hawks offer was legitimate as i see it. There was always a chance that Jake would forgo some of the money in exchange for being part of the "fourpeat" campain.
May not just be the money either. He might like the opportunity to be more of a big fish in the pond at StKilda.
But it was certainly worth it to the Hawks to have a shot.

Doesn't hell always look like that. Bloke is part of the furniture ar Essendon.
And after what he's produced this year, why wouldn't he be?
More than happy to watch him play on Nick Riewoldt
Heh. Roo has got the better of him recently and that will piss Hurley off immensely. He'll want to destroy him next time around. By 2017 he'll be destroying McCartin instead.

Im not sure on this but I think the Giles deal was

Giles + #59 for WCE #36

I think, I guess we will see soon enough.

Maybe that gets thrown in with Carlisle????
Holy shit, if we pulled that off Dodoro wins trade week. Absolute bargain.
