Will Michael Hibberd to Melbourne be the first trade deal to get done this year? Essendon and Melbourne are both happy to do the trade for a second-round draft pick. The sticking point? Essendon wants Melbourne’s 2016 selection, Melbourne wants to trade their 2017 selection.
Overnight, former number 4 draft pick Jarrod Pickett requested a trade to Carlton.
