@EndBegin1111 @OwnedByPeterson @21Ceej @cleary_mitch No I never said that. Anyway enjoy next season.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@EndBegin1111 @OwnedByPeterson @21Ceej @cleary_mitch In both scenarios they have 27.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@EndBegin1111 @OwnedByPeterson @21Ceej @cleary_mitch Having 21 and 28 in this draft is far more valuable to them than having 20 and Essendon’s future second (30-35).

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@EnvyAU_ @JackCFC0 Because they lost Coleman, Marshall, McLachlan and Neale.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@nicmarc @stone1_matthew Deal done. He’ll be a good player for Melbourne.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@crippsszn @shaiwindyowens “made the saints” 🙄

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@seanat01 @traderadio They’ve traded with St Kilda and GWS this trade period?!

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@stone1_matthew No, you never do that. You only ever act in the best interests of the club. Every other consideration is secondary. Brisbane have obviously taken a policy position (eg Ah Chee) of “when we say something, we mean it” on the grounds that it will benefit the club in the long run.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@HeathLyons @Picksthepunter @aflratings_GM If someone says “I have an asset. I don’t want to sell it. I would only sell it if someone paid me $x” then of course it’s fair for them to tell someone to bugger off if they’re offered less than $x.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@HeathLyons @Picksthepunter @aflratings_GM Nothing unfair about it at all. He’s contracted and Brisbane have said, right from the start, that he’d only be traded for a first round pick. For some reason best known to themselves, Essendon ignored that.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@ScottStakes @Markm106 St Kilda didn’t seem to have any problem doing the Sam Marshall trade. The reality is that Brisbane said, right from the start, it’d have to be a first round pick for them to trade Coleman. Essendon were fools to ignore that statement.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@Picksthepunter @HeathLyons @aflratings_GM Exactly. Why would he go to a club that promised him the earth and failed to deliver?! It’s Dunkley all over again.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@aflratings_GM Brisbane never put him on the market and only ever said they’d have to get a first round pick if he was to be traded. If Essendon led Coleman down the primrose path then that is on them.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@ProbeAway @adrian78melb @traderadio Remember they have to pay a premium of 20%. Anyway, that will determine it: if they can get Murray then they’ll do it, if they can’t then they won’t.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@MoggedByZinger Maybe they should give the Dons Will Ashcroft while they’re at it.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@adrian78melb @traderadio It doesn’t but I’m pretty sure 21 won’t get them Murray. So I strongly suspect they’d rather keep Coleman for at least a year, with the possibility of re-signing him. He’s a very good player.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@runninglettuce @traderadio Ok insane person.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@stephenmaro @Zane_Wills_ @WillzyyBlue @Bombers_Boss That’s my point. I strongly suspect that you won’t get him with 21. But we’ll find out soon enough.

[Spider McGlurk @JohnGaven4]

@runninglettuce @traderadio Irrelevant and dumb.
