Marty Pask, the manager of Gold Coast Sun Adam Saad, had this to say on Trade Radio about his client's potential move to Essendon.

“It will (get done). It’s just at the moment making sure both clubs are satisfied with what is going on.

“Gold Coast want to make sure they get something that is adequate.

“Essendon at the moment hold two second round picks, they’ve also got a future second round pick so there is enough there, it’s just going to be a question of what Gold Coast actually want and how they’re best going to get that deal done.

“He’ll be going to Essendon, we’ve worked through this, the talks are ongoing at the moment.

“We’ve got full understanding that the deal is going to happen, both parties are talking everyday, it’s all amicable, everyone is happy, everyone recognises where the situation is at.”
