I heard Gysberts might be on the table for a straight swap. Any truth to this rumour?

Wouldn't mind that as Gysberts was a very high draft pick and just seems to have fallen out of favour at Melb.. But would he play in our best 22... Doubt it

Gus gone overseas with Jobe. I hope the skipper does not try and convince him to stay. Maybe he intends to pinch his return ticket!!

Seems as though the Dees prefer Geelongs Shannon Byrnes... Port Adelaide now seems the likely home for Gus according to all reports last night and this morning.

I was hoping we'd be interested in Byrnes - at the expense of Monfries. Has much more to offer IMHO
My material isn't very good..Oh...and then there's the bladder problem.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark OFF!!!
No, we can match the offer and he stays or he goes and we get the compensation.

I believe the possile comoensations are: first round pick (ie. immediately after ours), end of first round pick, second round pick, third round pick.

I couldn't see us getting either of the first roynd picks, so my guess is a second rond pick, given that he played 150 games.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.

There is one other option, he accepts whatever Essendon offers instead of moving on...

Someone correct me if I am wrong, however, my understanding is that under free trade Essendon can either match the offer, offer more or offer less. However, if the player leaves under FT the club can't stop it and receives a compensation pick depending on the players worth as assessed by the AFL.
That said, the player can still resign with their current club for whatever is on offer can't they?
