Essendon has today secured its third top-10 draft pick, currently holding picks 6, 7 and 8 in the upcoming NAB AFL Draft.
The club confirmed a deal had been met with the Carlton on Wednesday morning, with the Bombers securing picks 8 and 87 in exchange for defender Adam Saad, selections 48 and 78.
General manager of list and recruiting Adrian Dodoro said the club was pleased to secure an outcome with Carlton.
“We now have three top-10 draft picks for this year’s AFL national draft, which is a very strong position to be in, particularly with the calibre of this year’s draft class,” Dodoro said.
“We wish Adam well for his future and we will now continue to focus on the remainder of the trade period and upcoming national draft.”
The Bombers yesterday secured imposing tall Peter Wright from the Gold Coast Suns in an exchange for a future-fourth round pick.
