Damo Barrett has already been sinking the boots in over a "player exodus", he will go ballistic if this goes public.

Knevitt would be a 10 % steakknives to add to the other 90 % of whatever picks geelong put up for smith. I dont think anyone was or ever would suggest an actual straight swap.

In the nicest possible way, Dogs would say fk off and hand over your two firsts, or Tigers can have smith.

 

[stefoid]

But I want to watch Marra take marks and kick goals for us. The club needs to be able to handle players with issues.

 

[Pencil case]

The thought of him in the back six with Jones and Lobb is pretty delicious.

If you asked me the last type of player we needed on the list, it’d be SDK. Sure, he’s a great player, but fk me if we spend our draft assets on a surplus rather than what we actually need.

isn’t on a afl list. I’d be pretty confident he could carve a decent career out.

Undersized and looks unfit, but makes it up with heart. That chase down tackle today which was wrongly called in the back was huge from a ruckman.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I mean you should always be doing due diligence but can't imagine he is being "shopped around". You'd only consider it if you were getting an AA calibre midfielder back.

If it is about lack of professionalism its absolute bollocks and makes us look like a round holes club. He is barely 22 years old, pathetic if you don't think you're capable as a club to change his ways.

Don't worry He is going nowhere just a bunch of so called supporters trying to get rid of him absolute a joke

The posters reporting on it have a long track record of reliable information, they're not trying to do anything of the sort.

They might but its just really horrible and it just made up the amount of fake remours from smiley boy i have seen is so much

So you are saying smiley boy is not showing us the goods ?

Smiley boy has a good track record if you are getting upset over the posts just don’t read them

I think if he really wanted to he'd be back on an AFL list. He showed some good signs in his first season at Gold Coast but then was off the list with some off field mischief and a positive drugs test.

There is very little chance you're taking a chance on him while he is 10-15kg overweight. If he got himself in AFL shape for next season I think a lot of clubs would put their hands up for him in the midseason draft. He might just be happy having fun in the VFL though, professional sport isn't for everyone.

He is actively on the shopping list for other teams if we get a godfather offer. He is our key to fast track a rebuild. Naughts and Darcy are never leaving, neither is Croft. You do the math

Me too, but the lack of effort in the Elimination final was pretty damning.
Hoping both he and the club can turn it around.

The one episode of Footy Classified I tired to watch they were saying the Bulldogs had too many talls and highlighted 3 KPFs and that we would be better off traing one out for cover other areas. I thought they were implying that Lobb was surplus to requirements. In hindisght it wasn’t Lobb at all.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Dare say, first thing tomorrow he will ask for a trade to Geelong haha

Whilst I do think the afl generally has to mature around player movement this is not a great look for the afl at all. The whole out of contract trade scenario is a farce.

Jones is 34 next year mate.. that scares me to bits. Dekoning is a gun full back.

 

[Northernsoul74]

He’s upsetting a lot of people at the club with his professionalism and the company he keeps.. people think stringers associations are bad the people JUH has been bringing into the rooms are far worse.

Wouldn’t the club would just ban dodgy characters from the rooms?

Buss should be playing next year ahead of Jones anyway

 

[cherrypie]

I’d rather trade JUH now than wait 2 years for him to decide he wants to go elsewhere, or if he derails completely.

Darcy and Naughton is an outstanding future for our forwardline, whether Jamarra is there or not. Tall forwards are the least of our problems and who knows where Croft will play long-term.

If we can turn Jamarra into a top quality young mid like Butters, Young or Serong, I’d do that everyday. I wouldn’t be giving him up cheaply though

Are you talking Hayden Young ?

Yes

 

[my plums]

Baz and Marra live together yes? Might explain some things

 

[SPower]

Can’t be true what a load of crap hey Dogsfan1

He’s a great player no doubt but sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze

Whether a trade gets done it’s still to be seen but make no mistake we are definitely shopping him around for the right price

Very disappointed in the lads finals performance.
Body language was the pits and resembled Jessie Hogan while at Freo prior to moving to.GWS.

No but same management
