Ottens

[erniedog]

Doubt it.
Assuming Zantuk is worth pick 32, Richmond would be trading Ottens for picks 14 and 16. They demanded 2 top tens this deal would be 0 top 10s.

Probably an attempt to stampede magpies into a deal. If they won't give up 1 of the "big" three but are willing to give up Wojinski, then perhaps if they add J.Hunt we could do the deal. That would give us a nice back line and free Johnson + Cole.

Other than that, I would prefer no deal and holding on to 7.

The other question is, are Kangas interested in Harvey for 7 even without the ottens deal? After all, with Rocca, McKernan, Colbert and Archer all going in the next year or so, Harvey isn't going to win them a premiership. Might as well get a good young prospect for him. This way they get 3 effective top 10 picks -Smith (father/son), 10 and 7.

If that deal is right, then Essendon get 2 reasonable players for the loss of pick 14.

Not a bad result. Sheedy does it again!

Wojinski and Hunt would fit in perfectly. But are they both pick 7 material? I doubt it. They need to throw in a third rounder and we'll throw in O'Bree.
