I would love to know what sort of offers were actually being put forward. I'd would be filthy as a Sydney fan if my club had given up more than a pick 40 odd for a guy who can't get on the park and is about to be a free agent.

Why not? Is is just because he's already in the system.
Sydney can offer Daniher next year a huge contract to the point where Essendon won’t
be able to match the offer.

Agreed.What opportunity did we miss? Sydney apparently never put pick 5 on the table. All they offered us was a pick they didn't have.
I'm glad we're taking a chance on the possibility of convincing Joe to stay. 12 months is a long time in footy.
What if he decides to retire and his clean shaven brother "Moe" nominates for the draft?Yes, once you've been on a list you can't nominate for F/S.
No Prior Registration:
A person cannot be included on a Club’s Primary List under the Father-Son system if he has, at any time, been registered with the AFL as a player with any Club.
To be guaranteed another 1st round pick, get another year out of Joe and have the chance to change his mind is worth the risk against what Sydney offered.Sydney can offer Daniher next year a huge contract to the point where Essendon won’t

JeezSo the Swans lose Z. Jones, Darcy Cameron, have a player in Papley who doesn’t want to be there and didn’t have the balls to get the Daniher deal done, all the while coming off a bottom four finish.
Are we looking at a new contender for the spoon next year?
Pipe down, minnow.Joe in a club that he doesn't want to be in for another 12 months with Jakey boy! Essendon could be the 2020 of this years Adelaide.
Not sure it was ever accurately reported what the swans wanted.What opportunity did we miss? Sydney apparently never put pick 5 on the table. All they offered us was a pick they didn't have.

LOL I just looked that up what a pisser.He'll be no Albert Goodthur!!
Surely the swans don't come back for seconds...*until next year.

All the "pick 5 + pick 9" stuff came from the media from what I could tell.
But I really think Daniher is valued much higher by Sydney than what he will deliver for Essendon if he stays. You probably think differently which is why you don't see an opportunity lost. Another 12 months of a Daniher that can't get on the park will drive his value down and probably limit the heights he can reach.
As someone who overtly hates Essendon and wants to see them burn, I'm relieved that the trade didn't go ahead. Essendon has a few holes in its list and a couple of high picks would give them access to some midfield talent that they're severely lacking.
The key forward thing would be an issue for 2020, but could spend a year courting key forwards across the league and plug the gap afterwards, play Hooker forward for a season. If Daniher continues on this injury prone trajectory of the last two years, you'll be in that situation anyway without a year development into a top ranked junior.
The whole "there are no key forwards in the draft that we could replace Daniher with" is such a short term view.
I like Daniher - I reckon he's a champ of a bloke and a great player to watch when on so I hope it works out for him. I just really think it won't, and the fact he put his hand up to change clubs suggests that he also thinks it won't if he stays at Essendon
LOL I just looked that up what a pisser.
