Oops. I clearly didn’t pick it up

So Essendon's Daniher compo and the Saad pick? What do we do with them? Treloar and someone else or will it be a future first?
Let's say the trade was Dunkley for pick 7 and Mcdonald-Tipungwuti, and we on-traded 7 for Treloar and a hefty percentage of his salary, are we happy with that?
Dunkley for AMT and Treloar makes our side better IMO for the next two years at least - but is it enough of a 'win' for a guy who is contracted and only 23yo?
If AMT and Treloar get us to a top 4 position in the next two years then yes.
If that happens (get 7 & 8) we must surely go big for North’s Pick 2, 26 & 28.
Offer them 7, 8, 14, 54, Future Second & La Young
They then hold 4 Top 15 Picks: 7, 8, 11 & 14, 54, 63 plus Young et al
We hold more than enough points for JUH & have pick 2. We still have a future 1st to trade with.
*if* we got 7 & 8 for Dunkley, then Power is smart enough to jump ahead of the JUH bid, plunder the top 3 on draft night and have a future first for a ready made player such as Treloar or AMT (or both if either wanted a decent player of ours).
This could be such a defining trade period. Epic possibly.
(Edit: 26, 28 & 90 = 1,406 Points. Swap Adelaide: 33, 40, 50 & 56 = 1,459. Of course as we are ahead on draft points, there's no unofficial non bidding agreement... We help Adelaide to Picks 1, 9, 22, 23, 26, 28, 66, 80 & 90) (1,406 plus 412 from Pick 41 = 1,818 Draft Points easily covers JUH even if at Pick 3 which is 1,788 Draft Points after discount. Surplus or live trading can deal with MacPherson/Raak if wanted or needed. 5 spots need to be open, which isn't an issue either)
I might be reading this incorrectly but are we trying to make sure Treloar commits to us AND in doing so he puts a more realistic value on his services OR if he doesn't he can stay at Collingwood and sort out things with them
If he commits to us with those conditions we might then be willing to listen to an offer for Dunkley
BT, stop it!
Seriously, I am starting to view ending up with Dunkley as a loss!
Side note: I think I would still rather deal our #14 for Adelaide's 22 & 33 (1408 points) over North's 26 & 28 (1406 points) because it probably comes with a "don't take JUH at #1" handshake.
Can you imagine we did everything you outlined above and those pricks decide to make us use #2 on JUH?
Is that what that is!
It is the silly season after all! I know this time of year brings about funny essenodonisms but I have been absolutely floored by the garbage put out by ALL media reporting on this Dunkley trade. Murdoch must honestly be an Essendon fan. I. Just. Don’t. Get it.
