Few insiders blv dees not pursuing Williams leads them to blv Saad is a lock...

 

Either way, Dees need to prioritise a fwd & if Tom McDonald is being pursued by Roos then Brown surely seems logical, however for whatever reason this seems unlikely despite it marching up on first look. Could this be related to chasing another big fwd? I think so but it’s a view not something I’ve got any word on. But I think we’ve been far “too quiet” which makes me think either Cameron or Gunston are heavily on the radar, Hooker maybe even as a plan C.

I predict: Saad, I Smith, Cameron & Atkins are our likely ins. 3/4 with Cameron the Outsider & one of Brown, Hooker, Gunston, Wright or Curnow to replace him should it be a pipe dream.

    It's all well and good saying we need to prioritise a forward but there's no-one of any quality that's available.

    And the reason we need Saad is because we are the slowest [censored] team in the AFL! he is a must get. have people forgotten how bloody slow we are? how slow jetta is? We need Saad and then we need to focus the next 2 drafts on getting speed in. that's how slow we are.

    All this lively trade talk is somewhat making up for the failing our finals KPI.

    Which reminds me, the CEO is due a direct email about this year.

    One minute Ralph is saying we aren't keen, the next we have birdie's chirping that Saad is off to us if he leaves.

    Welcome to trade period 2020 everyone!

    LOve it, but the sooner it's all sorted the better!

    I'm going with Bob's inside word.

    I thought I read Saad's main driving factor for moving on from Essendon is pursuit of success? Hasn't played a single final yet.

    Unless he wants to personally experience what it feels like to finish 9th next year after blowing a game to the Gold Coast Suns in Round 23, then I don't think we should be his club of choice.

    You must be new to the Trade Period. 

    Next you’ll say it’s ludicrous to bundle up 7 players for Jeremy Cameron. 

    What a noob.

    Also hearing that Saad will nominate his preferred club soon or stay at Essendon. #Justalittletasteofthingstocome. #ETthetradebreaker.

    I find this time of year very entertaining, honestly most of the time these commentators have no better idea than us here on d land. They have to justify their existence so all sort of stories are floated and they never have to in the end justify their comments. I actually think they get most of their info from sites like this. Very funny

    A few weeks ago he was reporting that the Army were about to invade Victoria to perform a coup.

    Also seems unlikely that Rutten has a strong bond with Saad when he's only coached him for 17 games as a senior assistant.

    Should be a piece of cake getting Saad. I heard that Dodumbo bloke at Essendrug is really easy to do a deal with.

    And our guys drive a hard bargain. Probably 3 first rounders I am guessing

    other than the ryder to the pear deal, what dodoro-directed deals have been hard?

    we've never had any issues dealing with the peptides

     Pretty much every deal the guy is involved in is hard work 

    From memory -

    Carlisle to St Kilda went to mediation 

    Stringer to Essendon went down to the last day

    Shiel to Essendon nearly fell over

    Joe D didn’t get done 

    Essendon supporters love him. List manager of a club that hasn’t won a final since Adam was a boy. Hardly a great resume. Long may he continue in that role.

    it's very common for deals to not happen til the last day; afl loves to build the draaaaaaama for the big trades like stringer and shiel

    the only one i remember going to mediation was ryder to port

    did the carlisle deal? i don't recall but i thought it happened on the second last or so day of the 2015 trade period cos his snort video was covered massively while the trade period was ongoing, and everyone was saying there's no way aints would've gone thru with it if it'd come out the day before their trade, not the day after...convenient, eh

    he's a terrible recruiter, it's fantastic - long may the peptides remain mediocre

    Either way I’m going to be right ?. 
     

    I think I might have a future in journalism ?.

    I wonder if we've remained in Ben King's ear... as to how we'd get a trade done, no idea!

    At least dress it up a bit, ET. Sparrow's name would be perfect for an elaborate riddle.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
