Nice get another trade or save it for a kid. You would have thought with no trades that this would be a big miss for essendon if he walks.

Not according to 99% of Essendon posters on this topic so far...
 
Personally I thought pick 22 was a win for Essendon

Pretty similar to the Luke Ball situation at St. Kilda a few years ago really.

Essendon would be mad not to take at least something for him.

They don't want to end up in a situation 3-4 years from now where the Saints are currently (not having any decent players come from the draft over the next 2 years), as that kills your list.

Depends on how you look at it.

He's probably worth somewhere between 16 - 20. But given our position on the ladder and therefore access to the PSD, given his stated links to Macca, his preference to come to the Dogs, his powerful agent - we could be offering far, far less and pushing him into the PSD.

I think we've tried to be fair about it so far.

What has he done to warrant 16-20 don't even know why the Dogs are after him Dickson plays the same role and I'd prefer him

However you cut it, he's still a 192 - 194 cm fwd/mid who marks well, runs hard and kicks 30 - 40 goals a year. You would take that every day of the week at pick 16 - 20. He's complementary to Dickson, not competing with.

190cm not that that means anything but 16-20 are you serious he was playing VFL at the end of the season
 
The reaction was no so much that a trade wasn't done, it was the reports that Essendon have stopped negotiating altogether.

I think a deal will get done eventually, and Crameri is not the only fish we're chasing apparantly so a third party or different picks may come into play in the next week or two.
Bingo. Essendon have stopped negotiating are the words that have inflamed the whole trade process.

Maybe I'm getting confused between Stringer, Grant and Crameri's heights... :)

And Dale Thomas missed 99% of the season injured. He's (Crameri) a proven performer in an age bracket and position we have gaps in. Most people that 22 is around the mark, some a bit higher, some a bit lower..

And Mumfords worth more than pick 86 but that's all we'll get for him

True, but at least you are realistic about the situation. We weren't happy with the N Brown move, and some of us were upset at how poor the return for Lake was. It happens sometimes...

Only because he was returning from injury which curtailed his fitness.

Bullies are offering how much per year? Put your money where your mouth is bullies and upgrade, otherwise he can go to GWS in PSD who need senior key forwards, cough cough Franklin.

We have the power not to trade him so bullies have to come to party to get their man.

Um, no you dont. He is out of contract and will walk to the PSD.

GWS will not take him, nor will Melbourne or the Saints.

How do you propose we upgrade our pick ??

Good luck with that the Bullies would gladly take it to the PSD
 
Dogs need to be ruthless here.

Why are we even wasting a 2nd rounder on Crameri when we can get him via PSD?

Doesn't make sense. Need to withdraw the offer immediately, get Crameri thru PSD and strengthen our list with someone else using pick 22

Dogs are wasting their time dealing with Essendon. Worst team in the AFL to trade with (unless you are Mark Williams)

Umm Cameron? Who is actually a better KEY forward than Franklin anyway? Patton? Boyd?

Continue to screw teams over like that and the same will be done to you first chance clubs get. Its good to keep it relatively sensible and offer something at least close to the mark.
