It doesn’t, but speaking as someone with a young kid myself, you want to have things settled, be close to family/your support base etc… There is zero chance with a 2-3 month old at home and life set up here that Parish would have been intrigued if Essendon went to him and said “Hey, have you...

Alright run through it He’s not agreeing to trade to any of the 8 interstate sides - just had a young kid. Carlton, Melbourne, North, Bulldogs don’t need an inside mid. Richmond is going in another direction. Hawthorn you could squint and make an argument for, but the way they play and...

To who? Someone has to want him and he has to agree.

Possibly - but then what picks do we actually use for other players in this draft?

Possibly AND 100%? Interesting.

I used to love going to see what Snelling could produce.

Wait, wait - he was incredible in 2021. He absolutely must’ve been there. Either that or our B&F is even more flawed than I thought.

Yes. It’s completely up to stringer as to whether he wants to re-up his life to move interstate for a couple years. And he could realistically, and understandably, decide that he doesn’t want to.

Man, they’re gonna win 3 flags, completely bottom out, then go straight back past us aren’t they.. Should be good to watch.

Sort of like a quicker, better marking Buddy Franklin.

No, no no, no no no no. What's the point? So they can sit on the list for 4 years and not play, then either get delisted, or look promising enough that they get poached? The idea of a project ruckman really needs to go out the window. But yes - overall happy with what Rosa has done. As you...

That's a whole to read into from a 5sec snippet quote from another person.

I see what Rosa is doing We know dons fans justifiably tune out for the last 6 weeks of every season - we know what’s coming. This way, we’ve still got something to watch for.

As in the hopes of a McGrath? Or Cox? Or Reid? Perkins? Tsatas? Those “dreams” are well and truly dashed haha.

Pick 37 certainly becomes more appealing now in some capacity if we can get it - not just from a points point of view by now actually using it.

Unfortunate for us, certainly. I guess the only silver lining is the next eleventy hundred drafts are also super drafts. The only draft stronger than any given year’s draft crop is the next one.

No it couldn’t have.

Yeah I think people saying Kako would only be a spite bid, or that he’s not in the top 10 are off the mark. He might not be in some people’s “rankings” but he’s in the discussion/mix of that area.

Nah can confirm, 100% legitimate. Particularly the 2nd one.

The lack of value placed on burpees disgusts me. Although the sit ups should help in him working out where to stand at stoppages.

If you’re Adelaide, you don’t do that. The guy is a FA next year. As in, free. You don’t downgrade from 4 to 9 and future 1st to a future 2nd just to get him a year earlier. Sure the argument could be made that it would be a “sure thing” this year if they got him, and minds change/anything can...

Yeah unless I’m missing something, that sounds awful for us. We’re trying to hopefully use pick 9 and then get Kako. And if a bid comes earlier than pick 9, it would seem the most likely scenario is trading out pick 9 on draft night for a future 1st. Not ideal, but do what you gotta do. That...

Saints and dons fans trying to 1-up each other as to who has the power in a potential Pick 9 trade really feels like 2 broke guys who spent all their money on lottery tickets laughing at criticizing the numbers the other bloke chose.

Thank **** for that. I’ve been saying this guy’s name for months - and I haven’t even seen him play! But it’s the exact type we should be going for.

It’d be kinda cool if we kept Stringer next year and he kicked 45 goals for us. He could lead us all the way to 12th!

Very low priority. He wants 2 years and he'll go to whoever is offering that. Having said that, I love the fit for him at GWS. Think he could do very well.

Probably true. The only exception with Shiel is that he finished this year healthy. In fact, he was healthy most of the year, just in the 2s for a good chunk of it. His last 6-8 weeks in the AFL though were very good.

Certainly possible, maybe even likely at this point. More just debating the "There is no way he returns to Essendon now. Not an option" line of thinking. I don't think we're at that point.
