Love the updates mate!

Getting the Pres on talk directly to the fans is a great credit to you and Jonno for the platform you've built, and it shows how highly regarded the pod is held in the Dons community.

We'll done lads!

Outstanding Charlie!

Agree, Jack Ough has big upside.

That's fair.

If the lions were open to it (they probably have a better offer lined up anyhow) I guess it would depend whether we value, say the Kangaroos F2 or pick 31 this year.

Can't wait to see how it plays out!

Draft hand of Kako, Picks 31, 42, 54, 65 (retained for Nguyen cat B option)

Potentially use 31 + future 2nd to try to trade up into picks 21-25 if someone we like has slid. If not, 31 will have some solid options.

Retain the 2 x 2025 1st round picks. Thoughts?

Assuming Kako bid comes at Rich pick 13 (matching costs ~969 points with 20% discount), picks 27 & 28 used to match with 441 points remaining (~pick 42 comes back).

Great listen.

I'm resigned that the asking price is too high and we won't get back into the 10-20 pick range, but rather than trading out pick 28 for a future pick, could we trade up to the lions pick 27 to protect 31?

I.e Dons trade picks 40, 46, 53 (993 points) for Bris pick 27 (703 points)

Thanks mate, it's shaping like there'll be some very good options on the table in that range.

Thanks Jasper. Who would you like Essendon to target assuming we end up with 2 picks around 40?
