I didn't think those rules mattered yet? Wasn't there a delay in bringing them in?
That was the 2 firsts every 4 years only I thought.
Do you really believe the AFL would hold Essendon to that, given they've still got a future second round pick? C'mon this is the AFL we are talking about. Rules ain't rules.
Essendon will be using that rule as a reason why not to. It was never going to be our future first, this rule just confirms it.

BRWB is fit... Cops a few combo's then comes right back swinging haymakers with pretty stong pseudo logic...

They allowed Hawks to do so last year.

Again, arbitration won't care. His contract will value him at least at a first rounder.

Jake will be staying at dogs.
Are you seriously that daft?

We have traded out a future third as well. Whilst we had a future first and 2 future seconds it was a possibility but since we've now only got a future first and second but no third it can't happen.

Why a future first can be on the table? There is no reason for it not to be. It's what the dogs would want from the trade.
Two second round picks are useless for the dogs this year. They have limited list spots and won't use them.
Our 2018 1st is likely to end up around the pick 18 mark anyway.

Might as well take the two 2nds.

If the dogs are only taking two live picks to the draft, can they package their second and 25 and 30 from us, for an early to mid teens pick?

Surely someone would jump at that...
If they were only taking 2 live picks then surely there'd have been no reason not to trade pick 26 as part of the initial deal, after all it wasn't going to be used in that scenario.

Future first.

IF they dogs were desperate to get rid of Jake, they would have asked for arbitration to get the future first on the table.

My bet, either the future first IS on the table or Jake is staying.
I think the next step is meditation, not arbitration. And i think in order to trade our future first we technically need to bring in a future 3rd and not trade our future 2nd for saad, which would seem more certain to happen.

Yep. I don't get that. Someone disagrees with me so I'll call him names, why bother.
It's not the disagreement, i's the fact he can't get it in his head that Essendon has refused to entertain anything to do with their future first and thinks that it will happen anyway.

Sure call it mediation. Trading out all other assets doesn't mean he becomes cheaper.
