So we give up Pick #5 to Essendon.Wayne42 wrote:Here you go, here's another theory..
Sydney's first-round pick has become the latest bargaining chip in negotiations between Essendon and St Kilda over Jake Carlisle.
The Swans would be prepared to help the deadlock if it would allow the club to turn their No. 14 pick (worth 1161 points on the draft value index) into multiple selections, or extra draft points.
The three clubs have begun exploring a trade that in essence would see Sydney switch pick 14 for St Kilda's pick 24 and another selection or two. The Saints would then send pick five to Essendon for Carlisle.
The problem is that Essendon's third round pick is not sufficient compensation for the Swans, with Sydney only willing to move pick 14 if it receives an adequate number of points.
Trading pick 14 for picks 24 and pick 44 (the Bombers' third round pick) would see the Swans lose, not gain, points. The Bombers have so far not been willing to give up either pick 23 or 25.
Essendon give up Carlisle + Pick 23 or 25
We give Pick 23 + 24 to Sydney for their Pick 14
Eh, seems ok to me, however if Essendon are being f'wits, which they have the entire time, they can get ZERO, we keep 5, and we'll get Carlisle in the draft.
I don't have time for their rubbish. Carlisle isn't even that good, and comes with so many baggage its not funny, from attitude problems to physical ailments to questionable character. I honestly don't care if we don't get him.
I'd much rather get Weller's brother tbh, send 5 over to Freo for him.
Screw dealing with Essendon, I'm over it.
