Mark Williams

[Skeeta Olly]

Welcome to Essendon!

 

[Kaan]

Official?

 

[Rack Watts]

Welcome, Bye bye Nash and Pick 16.
On SEN atm.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Just about.

If it all falls in a heap, we get 16 back and close thread

 

[zen dice man]

Are we sure about this... just heard on SEN that we gave up pick 16 & J Nash.

We should also get other picks for this..

Pick 16 is way to high for Williams.

 

[dillon5]

He's in Essendon now.
I think Nash has been traded to port for a pick in the 30s as well.

 

[zen dice man]

Effectively we traded Lovett for Williams... plus offloaded Nash for some unknow pick..
Interesting.

not a bad result.

Welcome to Essendon Mark Williams !

Hope we get the best remaining pick from this deal

 

[AndyLesPaul]

I'm excited.

Mark Williams + 24 for pick 16 I think it was.

BARGAIN.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

I hope we can upgrade Pick 10 to 8. It seems unlikely though.

 

[sen entertainment bloke]

Burgoyne deal appears done. Jay Nash to Port is the new part of the complicated deal with Bombers to get another pick in the 30s


That's what Adam White has on his twitter.

16 seems over the top but anyway, wasn't Williams the one trying to organize Roughead and Franklin when the Hawks were going bad. Or was that Bateman.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

well, best case scenario is pretty sweet. He could be mercurial. Worst case scenario probably no more risky than picking a kid. Plus we only drop 8 spots is it?

 

[Spikey]

Can't say I have high hopes with Williams.

 

[BringBackCransberg]

Reported on AFL website, but details of picks and things still to be released/worked out.

Welcome Willo. For all the supporters worried about his antics/arrogance etc - I found this article from mid-2009, titled 'Wiser Williams now celebrates for team'.

We traded pick 16 + Nash for Williams and a pick in thirties

 

[the walloper]

If you guys can get him fit, you have a beauty. Hurley in the square and Williams leading out could be formidable. Good luck.

right. But we got rid of Nash, so I guess that's something

 

[HULK HOGAN]

I'm fairly happy, what was the footy managers name that just came to us from Hawthorn?
Surely he would have some inside info on Marks knee?
This week could have been alot worse. Welcome to Essendon Mark, 50 goals next year please.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

A good pickup.

 

[EFL Boy]

What is wrong with us?

Even if Hawthorn/Port/Whoever the 4th club was gave us a 2nd/3rd Rounder with Williams, why would we trade our 1st Round Pick for him?

Pick 26 for Mark Williams would have been a lot better.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

right. But we got rid of Nash, so I guess that's something

We will also get another pick.

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Which is awesome because we were going to delist him anyway xD

 

[Darealrath]

Bang.

I hope like hell his knee is right, if so it might not be that bad a move.

 

[Fastback]

Very sad to see him leave us, if he can recapture his form you guys have a beauty. Good luck.

 

[DonMania#5]

I think it's alright, welcome Williams

 

[AndyLesPaul]

In come the complaints at SEN.
