thats a typo yeah...pick 23 ???

 

Ryder and their 2nd round pick for Pick 3 & Tyson should get the deal done.

Good god!

pick 17 is fair value for him

Which is exactly what the Dons are rejecting cos they are moron drug cheats

 

A pick is just a number. It doesn't kick the football.

We want players to improve our list now, not numbers on a draft sheet.

If the best forward (say) that pick 3 (say) can get this draft is McCartin who is 2-4 years away from producing (and then with little certainty of making it), then I vote to exchange the number on the draft page for an already established player NOW.

McCartin may not be the best forward in the draft. For us it may well be two metre Peter ( Wright ), reputedly, he is a deadly accurate kick, good below the knees and has the physical frame to be effective immediately!

Good god!

It was sarcasm. :P

And just sooo funny!!!! Hahahahahaha

Not a priority, too high a cost, ASADA related uncertainty...

Wasting on early pick on this deal defies logic.

pick 3 is way too much for Ryder.

I think pick 17 is a bit under, but closer to the mark.

Maybe the pick 12 you get for Trengrove might get the job done and some late picks swapped in Melbourne favour.

But would you swap Trengrove for Ryder?

it's all hypothetical, Ryder is Port bound.

Wants out of Melbourne [the city] and has his heart set on the Power.


Plus he is threatening to retire should the bombers fail to get him to port this trade period. Doesn't sound like he'd entertain us now does it?

People on other threads are worried about jumping into the Beams situation at the last hurdle & calling it Clark 2.0, however I see jumping into the Ryder discussions as much closer to Clark 2.0 than Beams.

In a perfect world, players would be lining up to join the Dees like the Hawks, but as it stands we might need to hard sell a few people to initially join our revival. To be expected given where we're coming from imo, but when they are rolling in $$ playin for an up and coming Demons team they will be glad they came!!!

I understand everyone has there opinion on players but i don't see Ryder as being as good as he is being made out, if you're demanding pick 16 and a player or a star you're talking about an ALL Australian quality dominant player, i just don't see Ryder in that catagory, he's good but he isn't that good

i reckon pick 16 and a player like Moore is about his worth and a win - win but clearly Essendon are still on the juice and don't really have a good grasp of reality

Is this a joke?

Sorry, my post wasn't very clear, I don't want Ryder anyway, just went off on a tangent.

I wouldn't touch any Essendon player that was at the club in 2011-12. Not knowing what exactly they have taken is too much of a risk they could get seriously ill or injured at any time so in my opinion wouldn't touch them. I wouldn't even do any trades with Essendon as theyare impossible to deal with your better of getting either a free agent or a delisted player.


No. No. No. No. No. 3 should be reserved for absolute guns or future guns. No for me just if you didn't get the memo

Pick 2 & 3 + Tyson and Jones for Ryder should be a fair deal.............................. Sorry I though this thread was about who can make the silliest trade.

Ryder and their 2nd round pick for Pick 3 & Tyson should get the deal done.

Good god!

Mods, we need a "tongue in cheek" icon!

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
