ESSENDON is happy to part with defender Michael Hibberd for a second-round pick, however it would prefer it was this year's rather than a 2017 pick.

Dees, Dons close to finalising Hibberd trade Peter Ryan

prefer....hmmm

I just hate giving Essendon anything, I'd rather give a pick to Collingwood.

If there was a way we could get him through the courts I'd prefer we did that, third round or nothing.

They get away with it every time, they screwed us last year and they're doing it again.

If the x drug duo are worth having they are worth a second round pick.If they are not worth a second pick why bother.

seems fair to me.

It's not about what they're worth, it's more about what we want to pay, me, nothing.

You want our club to be hated OD, this is a good way to start.

You get hated by winning lots of games.

If you don't have good players you don't win games and all you end up with is pity.

We have been pitied for a long time I am well and truely over that.

Give up a second round pick get Hibberd and lets get on with winning lots of games.

If you pay too much for other teams scraps, you don't get pitied, you get laughed at and I'm not sure that Hibberd isn't much more than that.

If you think Hibbered will help us win games, then perhaps I better have another look at him. :blink:

Fine by me as long as it is next year's second round pick!

To be honest I have little idea how good he is. I am taking the FD,s word he is worth recruiting.

They have not made many errors lately so I am taking their word for his value.

as I said before if he is as good as they think then he is worth a second round pick.

we can either pay and get him or not pay and continue without him.

I reckon they're being ok actually. We gave up 25 for Melksham last year and Hibberd is better than him. They could have gone the way of their fans and said "Well if Melksham was worth pick 25, we expect a late first rounder for Hibberd". Luckily their employees are more realistic than their one-eyed, Hird loving supporters.

Actually, I think trading a pick that might push out to 30 is weighted in our favour. I remember when the rumour first broke months ago, I was discussing the move with an Essendon fan and we agreed a pick in the region of 19-21 would be fair.  This will help combat last year's Melksham trade which was weighted in Essendon's favour.

I agree the deal should be done. But, I can see Melbourne not wanting not drop out entirely from the first/second round picks this year to ensure they have a pick this year and next in that framework, so they are testing the waters a bit.

Outside of something crazy I expect Hibberd to be traded to us for our second round pick this year so no hardball, the target has been identified and the deal will be done.

I find it stunning that GWS who knocked back 2 first round picks from Freo last year for McCarthy, look like accepting pick 3 while giving back picks 7 & 32. 

Freo must be in hysterics.

LIGHT BULB JUST WENT OFF

Melbourne Receive: Pick 30 , Pick 52 

Melbourne Lose: Lynden Dunn , Pick 46

Hawthorn Lose: Pick 14, pick 52, Kaiden Brand, Will Langford

 

Gold Coast Receive:  Pearce Hanley, Kaiden Brand, Pick 14, pick 46, Will Langford, 

 

 

Seems like all 4 clubs would agree to that

was going to give GCS pick 21 and 22 to Brizzy instead of 8 but pick 8 is more valuable to Brisbane because 21 and 22 give GCS more points for Bowes.

 

THEN:

Melbourne Receive: Michael Hibberd

Melbourne Lose: 2017 2nd rounder, pick 52   (possibly add 2017 1st if they don't budge)

                                                                                                    

Essendon Receive ; Melbourne 2017 2nd rounder, pick 52

THEN:

Melbourne Receive: Pick 15

Melbourne Lose: Pick 28 and Pick 30

 

GWS Receive : Pick 28 and Pick 30

Gws gain 200 points for their academy guns

OVERALL TRADE PERIOD

Vickery, Mitchell and O'Meara to Hawks are pretty much done.
Ben McEvoy is being shopped around. He suits our needs but is 'uncoachable', apparently. Not the impression I had of him.

Posted (edited)

What does caving in to their 2nd round demand for this year, say about our faith in Melksham though? Don't we have enough to stand back on if the deal doesn't go through? We gave up #25 and a 4 year 400k deal, but if Essendon want this years 2nd round, then we'd be too afraid to lose the deal and only have Melk to fall back on? To not play hardball and press them to accept next years 2nd just suggests we don't have much faith in Melksham, the other backs and our Plan B with the 2nd round pick.

Seems important to at least have a 2nd round pick this year to pick the player that falls through the cracks of the first round. If that's Mahoney's reasoning, then he should stick to his guns.

Hard to see Hawthorn and Geelong ever dropping to the bottom half when they get to top up their lists with decent players year after year. 

They might have to trade for their targets, but once a player 'nominates' them, the gun is loaded and finger on the trigger. 

 

So true

Day one summary. 

Everyone wants to go to hawthorn or cats. If no interest from those two they want to go to the pies. 

Contracts mean nothing and being a FA has no relevance. 

Comp is becoming a joke

Indeed. It's making me re-consider my interest in the afl in general ie watching most games. I might just stick to the Demon games and maybe a game here or there between top contenders on the ladder.
