No only going to go one way. If you dont understand this...then you dont understand this

im not trying to win Saty some aspects of trade week WILL be about expediency...others about brinkmanship Its about US.,not them

not conspiracy at all.. Saty.,..its called understanding your opponents weakness. Positions have turned

there may well be variances.. hypothetically say next years 2nd and and exchange of latter picks for this years say if that then it ONLY occurred because we jogged their position. Thing is...EFC have mentally spent what they thought they would get.....thats their arrogant way. Difference is...we know it ...possibly prepared to test it., Go you good Dees

youd be happy to pay OVERS just to be....whatever

fmd its nothing about being a destination club...is nothing to do with the player...its ABOUT negotiating with the OTHER club yours is the Stawmans argument.. burning..really., lol

prefer....hmmm Essendon just got a wake up call..Dont F us around

The 'beautiful" thing about this...is we have thrown them ( efc )

pick new words.....same thing...iT IS a game of blink... Weve been bent over in the past.....No more Saty the power in negotiations is the affordability to walk away...We can. yeah...Hibberd.... but......

Dont expect Essendon to take next years pick at all.. I might think Melbourne might offer a pick, still 2nd round but not the one they might have already 'banked" edit or Melbourne might find juicier fruit available using said "2nd rounder" and suggest Efc take it or leave it....back to 'blinking" Again...it's a game.. we are playing them...instead of BEING played. its fascinating We CANT lose...they can

I think youre underthinking it. Or dont actually comprehend the mechanics od dealing. The power of any negotiation is who blinks. 99% of all 'purchases'are driven by the fear of losing. Dont believe me ask any well heeled advertising exec. What Melbourne has done is turn the tables on Essendon. They will now deal with us as we wish, not as they wish. New territory for them no doubt.

Esendon will no dount think we are well and truly on the hook for Hibberd. We might be, but to throw a curve ball at them in a subtle way is a good ploy. They will need to now offload Hibberd and use that pick( whatever it is we give them ) much more than we actually need Hibberd. Upper hand firmly held by the Dees. Well done

Why do you jump to hate Red.. I simply dont rate him. Now Rate and Hate share 3 letters arguably...but thats all.

love this...playing essendon at their own game of "dancing with shadows !!" Starting to really like the way the club goes about this. It's not perfect , and still dubious about the cost of Milkshake , but we seem a rather lateral mob come a dealings time now.

is there though. Players line up clubs from a long way out these days.. All we see is the 'decision". The only element of any of this I truly believe, it the what. The when, the who,the why etc is all a game. Will be interesting to see if a smokie slides acrosss.

might just wait to get excited until I see all the various team lists. How our list ends up after trade and draft will for mine determine the direction we are now taking. I sense Goody is about to make a course redirection. Not huge but one that will change up our game a bit (we have to)

Maybe, but he'll still be Vickery everyday

think about it

comment of the day !! lol

c'mon, surely it's comforting to know the Figjams have totally lost it ?

Red, you had me at they won three flags blunder....tree barking...wrong. ..

yes. Very sensible list management.

Just when you think the AFL couldn't be more full of shlt....they always surpass themselves Well done Gil.

Redtube ... learned tome. Have heard them mentioned often as such .....said NO ONE EVER !!
