What happened to the most important pick, pick 1 NAT?  :o :o :o

[KoopKicka]

In the first step to rebuild this battered team sees highly talented Essendon midfielder David Zaharakis join the ranks of the highly competitive Eskimo midfield, along with Aaron Edwards to provide some much needed forward line relief.





We say goodbye to Cyril Rioli.

[specky92]

And we say goodbye to Cyril '2-3 weeks away' Rioli and NAT draft pick 33

Kathmandu Eskimos Post Season Trading Activity

Trade 1 with UAE Tigers

We give: NAT Pick #17 + NAT Pick #49 + Rookie Pick #1

We get: NAT Pick #7 + NAT Pick #49 + Rookie Pick #39

Reasoning: We felt that the pool of Rookies eligible in the Rookie Draft didn't suit our teams needs and that we could boost our youth with another top 10 national pick.

Result: TBA

List Movements 0



Trade 2 with Taiwan Dophins

We give: Cyril Rioli + NAT Pick #33

We get: David Zaharakis + Aaron Edwards

Reasoning: We felt that Pick #33 in the National Draft is too much of a gamble so we grabbed two proven scorers in Zaharakis who adds some big scoring to the midfield and Edwards who provides some spark to the forward line.

Result: TBA

List Movements: 2 (5)

[Justin Bieber]

I don't see Ryder being a forward.

[Adamant]

I'd play Aaron Edwards over Jarrad Redden regardless if Ryder keeps DPP or not. :P

Nice work mate!!

You have definitely come out ahead during this trade period.

[Jroo]

Yeah nice work Koop.
Your team has a lot more depth now. Your midfield is looking alright, Ebert, Hanners, Gaff, Mzungu, Polec, Smith, Howlett and Rook 3  ;) isn't too bad.
