Probably been covered. After Crameri and Gumby move on, if we are to use 2 live draft picks and upgrade Dalgleish..then we need 1 more delisting. Is Froggy the only remaining suspect? Given Leroy is contracted.

Package Gumby+Jetta to Freo for #37
I don't get how Jetta has any value at all considering how badly most on here want him gone at any cost. Jetta's value is below steak knives, shit, his value is less than plastic picnic knives...

McCartney said the Dogs didn't budge from their initial offer. How ******* unreasonable is Dodoro?
He also said he understood with a new Coach that he understood Essendon taking its time. The time was mostly about trying to convince Stewy to stay. How unreasonable are you?

Can we just give him to Freo with Gumby? Similar to GWS with Edwards and Aylett? Just to free up a spot for Weller!

The offer would have to be like... 'we will give you Gumby for free if you take Jetta off our hands.'

And we'd say 'If we've got to take Jetta you've got to give us 26 as well.'

Anyone have any thoughts on who we should use 26 on? (Assuming we don't take garlett)
I reckon we need another marking forward (tall or small). Alternatively a midfielder (just because there's stacks around).

players picked between 24-28 by year, bold is 26, could still get a good one here

2012 (Wright, White, Viney (fs), Stewart, O'Brien)
2011 (Schade, Ross, Elton, Kerridge, McInnes)
2010 (Cripps, Karnezis, Darling, Harper, Lester)
2009 (Carlisle, Black, Colyer, Bartlett, Duncan)
2008 (Suban, Redden, Post, Wright, McKernan)

TBH I think any trade with Jetta in it brings down the value of the trade. lol Can't we just delist him, then pick him up as a rookie to free up the spot?

Would love a Duncan or Redden type

How does that change the fact that they refused to negotiate?
It doesn't, to me it makes the dogs sound very stubborn. They knew we had no power at all and if they were smart about it, remove their offer and get him in the PSD.... As disappointing it is only getting pick 26, I think we should be glad we got that much.

My views are he isn't worth the money they are paying him, but their offer (1.8m over 4 years) to me warranted a better offer then just pick 26. So for the dogs to say they never budged from their initial offer is poor form.

Geez, what did we lose for Mark Williams? Pick 14 or something like that, and how much was his contract?

Don't necessarily think we need a marking forward Jack Package. NO'B should be playing it. After all, that is where he played most of his junior footy.

The two glaring weakness' in our list IMO is now a KPP (assuming Gumby goes) and a ruck men.

With the picks we have (including the rookie list here), surely we can find these and also grab a midfield/forward.

Mitch Thorpe worth a shot if he is there later on?
