I think it's clear you're planning to use more than two, despite some comments in here - otherwise you would have had no qualms palming off your second rounder in the Pick 11 deal
Good picks still have currency even if they won't be used. Thy just get traded for future picks. So it never makes sense to view them as "we wouldn't be using it anyway".

Actually that was different, as much as Essendon supporters have fun with it. They wanted a first round pick back if they were giving up pick 5. Which they got.
You don't think the dogs would also have to give up their future third rounder to get access to the first rounder?

Trading out all other assets as Dodo is doing, is great IF you think the other club will fold. IF he is wrong, he has nothing left but his future first, which will have to be on the table.

Not from us.

Which is where we have fun.
Yeah, it is pretty funny that we "gave up" Gresham instead of Leonardis.

You can't tell the difference between "We won't give up pick 5 without another first round pick coming back" and "We won't give up our future first, period"?

Good to see that John Stringer has said Essendon has been quite supportive of Jake in this troubling time. At least one club is concerned about what is best for Jake.
Oh now this is right up there for post of the year !!

Not unless you understand when you just walk away. Next year's draft is mooted to be much better than this years, so if the deal for 11 this year didn't get done I wouldn't put too much on the bet for next year's first rounder.
If the dogs don't take 25 and 30 I hope Essendon leave it there, and we can then enjoy watching one of the most uncomfortable years of player/club relations in AFL football history.

Arbitration won't care about that statement. They will just look at player contract, previous performance and assets of destination club. IF dogs were going to trade Jake at any price; then this will go to arbitration to get that pick on the table.

Tell ol man Stringer, not us.

"There's been a little bit of a public stoning, from our perspective.

"We thought he was obviously contracted [for another year] at the Dogs and was going to stay there, so for them to come out publicly and say it's time to move on is a little bit disappointing.

"I think for the whole family it's been fairly tough, and probably more so for Jake.

"The human face of the whole football industry sometimes gets forgotten a little bit, and I think particularly in Jake's case, it's very easy for people to cast aspersions and say this has happened, or that's happened.

"At the end of the day, you're dealing with a human being."

"Maybe a change is really what he needs,"

"Essendon have been quite supportive so we're hopeful that's what will transpire."

Well given we just traded out a future second, future first officially can't be traded.
