You would think whatever they get for Saad would be going straight up to GWS

That's incredible for a player who has only played 11 games. Massive gamble.
Ok Dodo time to put your money where your mouth is.
Dodo keeps telling everyone the value of Essendon players:
Daniher- worth more than two top 10 picks
Saad - worth pick 7 & Walsh, Curnow or McKay because Carlton offered $600k over 4 years for a 26 year old hbf’r
On Dodo’s ratings this makes Caldwell, 20 year old onballer (top 10 selection) on a mega-5 year deal worth at least two first rounders (early and late) - pick 6 & a pick 16/17/18.
Can’t have it both ways...

No, that's not how Dodo works. Saad is leaving so worth at least pick 7, Caldwell is coming so worth about a late 3rd/early 4th
The Dodo show is going to be a scream if your club isn't caught up in it, will make for great viewing over the next month
That could work out massively in Essendons favour on the back end if thats the offer

It could. It could also backfire big time if after a few years he turns into a typical Essendon plodder.
Wow, great result for the young fella.
Can’t begrudge him favouring Essendon with a $2.5 million deal - will set him up for life.
Good get for the Bombers, need to be aggressive and create some positive vibes

Could, but personally I'd be very happy if he was coming to us on that offer, reckon the kids a gun
positive vibes aside, fills a midfield need.Wow, great result for the young fella.

Probably need a couple more via the draft (pref with some height and size)
If we can bring O'Driscoll and either Trew, Carroll or Poulter in as well, should set us up nicely.
He will....deals work both ways....it what's best for the club ....cant blame him for trying...what would your club ask if you lost a quality player....but heay the opposition is happy to receive for not much too...cant have it both waysOk Dodo time to put your money where your mouth is.

You're paying a 5 game player 500K over 5 years, whilst reportedly letting your key forward go for Pick 19/20...after knocking back - at the very least - Pick 9, and whatever else you would have got (conflicting reports so not gonna get into if there was a Future 1st or not).
This is while an elite player in his prime in Saad leaves, after reportedly paying him less than the figure you're offering Caldwell - before the last ditch contract you offered him
Oh yeah, he's doing great...
P.S. Caldwell is 183 CM, so literally the exact same type as Shiel, Dev Smith, Merrett, Parish, McGrath. Just getting a player for the sake of getting a player IMO

He will have to now. He has to be realistic. He needs deals done. Trades in the pocket. Can’t play his usual grandstanding games this year. Has to get deals done or the membership will rightfully go ape droppings.

It’s a lot of money but I wouldn’t be unhappy from an Essendon fan’s perspective.

Heard GWS would need to add a 2nd round pick to get it across the line
Send the saad first rounder to gws for jye. Lose a good hbf gain a potential A grade mid. Dodo has done well. If the money is there you pay to get elite talent through the door. Reckon if essendon get a few good players to nominate dodo well get the trades done without hassle.
