Essendon snubbed big trade offers before selecting Elijah Tsatas with pick five on Monday night in the selection to shape the 2022 AFL Draft first round.
One of those offers came from Melbourne, who put up a mammoth three first-round picks as part of a deal for the Bombers’ first selection – reportedly pick 13 plus two future first round picks.
But Bombers coach Brad Scott said it would take an “extraordinary offer” to pry what was pick four from the club.
