Essendon will reportedly ask St Kilda for a first-round pick or Max King if the Saints come knocking for ruckman Sam Draper.
The Saints are in the market for a ruckman, and are reportedly interested in injured big man Sam Draper, who is yet to make his AFL debut.
Foxfooty.com.auย revealed earlier this week the Saints are set to offer Draper a four-year deal worth $1.7 million, but the Bombers will need to trade Draper to the Saints if order for him to move clubs, and he won't go cheaply.
On Triple M's Dead Set Legends, journalist Jay Clark believe the Saints rate Draper that highly, but the Bombers will make them pay for the deal.
โSt Kilda are saying this guyโs almost like a first-round draft pick, they rate him that highly," Clark said.
โTheyโll play hardball. Theyโre offering him ($1.7) million. I reckon Essendon will come out and say if you want him Saints and youโre going to pay that much money, then give us Hunter Clark, give us Max King, give us a top-15 draft pick.
โThatโs whatโs going to happen here. Theyโre not going to want to accept unders and if they only accept a second or third round pick, thatโs a disaster for them."
