Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

Why 100%? Source or just your opinion

Not brilliant, not terrible. Certainly enough to trade into the teens if someone we like drops down and should at least get a decent player or two with that hand in the draft. Still heavily relying on what we did last year really where as Gold Coast/Freo/Carlton/Melbourne are bringing in some big guns.

Sammy gets a c minus with a full B minus upgrade because AFL House rigged the deck.

17, 25, 35, 48

Kinda ironic he had a typo in a post to clear up what picks we have

 

[glenashley]

There’s a lot of room for pick shuffling now if we want to.

I expect we'll move up. Can you still trade future picks as part of it?

 

[Pencil case]

I’m just glad we didn’t use 25 on XOH.

 

[ArNcHiSe]

The biggest lessons I hope everyone takes from this are:
1. Big Footy "insiders" are always full of shit.
2. fake tough talk from fans is always hilarious
3. threats. sending messages and reputation mean jack shit to clubs during trade week.

 

[Doggy]

Gee the media are awful.

Gone from "17 is fair and all they can offer" to "what a steal for a superstar. And the ACL is pretty much a non issue...."

I'm sure the Geelong flogs will be saying the same

100% was always going to happen

Its going to be probably 10 years of it so we better get use to it.

 

[Doggies7]

Trade Radio is hilarious. Talk about absolutely nothing for a week and a half and now that there was a flurry of moves in the last hour to discuss and trades still being made official etc it's finished and they are off air?

 

[LukasTheGreat]

I'm really hoping XOV isn't a repeat of Lohmann. I've no idea how or why that would be the case though.

 

[Chicago1]

I wish Jack and Caleb all the best at their new clubs and hope the Saints and Norf fans treat them well. They contributed to some exciting years of footy for the team.

As far as that other one goes, he can get ******.

That wasn't ever going to happen, but I hope you enjoy whipping VDM all year.

Caleb saved that draft period.

Ideally VDM & McNeil never play an AFL game again, but it still doesn’t mean we should throw away picks.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

My prediction is 17 and a future 2nd with a future 3rd going back.

Close but they weren't future's.

Can I still get a badge please

 

[DueWest]

Is it in summary

In 17 25 Kennedy
For
Smith Daniel and Macrae (2 All Aust and premiership players)

We already had a pick in 30s so that doesn’t count

 

[olimauldon]

However you wanna look at it, losing the quality of players we have in the last couple years is alarming - Smith, Macrae, Daniel, Dunkley. And not the best return on most of them either

 

[Doggy]

And we replace them with.....?

McNeil is unfairly a whipping boy

 

[MaxiBont]

I'm really hoping XOV isn't a repeat of Lohmann. I've no idea how or why that would be the case though.

He is a free agent next year, hopefully can get him across.

 

[spindles11]

I can 100% say that Butters isn't coming to Bulldogs

Not with that attitude.

We really didn’t have any leverage whatsoever in the Bailey Smith

situation, and the minor pick upgrade to get Kennedy over the line really is about as much as you could hope for.

You can be the best wheeler dealer in the world but without leverage you’re f**ked in any negotiation. Anyone who thinks they could have done better is delusional.

 

[drcollossimo]

Couldn’t help it but look at it this way Dogs fans it couldve been worse you could’ve had our trade week!

 

[MaxiBont]

However you wanna look at it, losing the quality of players we have in the last couple years is alarming - Smith, Macrae, Daniel, Dunkley. And not the best return on most of them either

Dunkley - Wanted more inside mid opportunity

Macrae - Past his peak

Daniel - Past his peak

Smith - A dickhead

Hardly that alarming imo

 

[Deadly Darcy]

I can 100% say that Butters isn't coming to Bulldogs

If he goes to the cattery I quit.

Smith and Dunkley, yes. It remains to be seen whether Smith can ever be at his 2021 finals level though.

It's easy to forget that Daniel and Macrae are not the players they once were - which is fine, but when their contracts are at the level of their peak, it's not a bad thing to move them on as much as it sucks to lose them. Macrae has performed poorly relative to when he signed his contract for the past 2.5 seasons, and Daniel pretty close to the same.

 

[DueWest]

This trade period reinforced If you are trying to get a contracted player out of a Club you need to pay top dollar, unless you are the Western Bulldogs
