Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 6 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

Been told this morning over a coffee that if Smith requests a trade the Dogs will entertain offers.

And Smiley Boy is not far off the money, although my contact reckons it’s player driven and not coach driven. He doesn’t get along with our group.

Personally can’t see Smith ever getting there mentally so as much as I don’t like losing our only decent younger kid I can understand the clubs thinking

Had a feeling Lobb would be him pushing it bloke is a genuine deadset mercenary so we can’t be too surprised however unless someone satisfies us at the trade table can realistically just hold him, plays his role well enough but is replaceable with a Chol type or Darcy if looking internally

This worries me the most (players wanting him gone). I understand players need to be happy but we risk becoming a team of premadona’s!!

Incorrect man.

Dogs are pretty confident they can land Lual outside of 40
But will still trade back in if necessary

How would we trade back in? There's no bidding for NGA players in the top 40 so if any club wanted him before that pick wouldn't it just be a straight selection?

 

[cleveland]

Its a simple case of it not working and if it actually happens we are just cutting our losses and moving on. Saints still very keen.

 

[Mofra]

So how do they win a flag playing predominantly 2 KPFs yet we can have Naughton ruck for 5 minutes a quarter with Marra and Darcy forward?

They played two rucks as well - Cameron and Cox, as we played English and Lobb. The structure is similar.

They have an elite intercepting defender and better small forwards. And elite wings.

F2 would be nice

Usually clubs give a courtesy call before hand.

Correct however the point was having a lack of marking power up forward if Naughton goes into the ruck for 5 minutes which is farcical given we already have some serious talent developing and then throw in a Croft on top

 

[adogsfan5]

This Oliver stuff is no good for us. It would get give enough for pick 1 and push the Roos to look at pick 4. In fact it would probably give the Dees enough for both 1 & 4.

I just can’t see any team looking for mids, offering up what Melbourne would want.

Give it a week and see how it’s tracking giving me massive Stringer trade vibes

I'm more concerned about Buku deciding to stay after the Sam Power visit to his house + Lobb leaving rumors.

I think we know where this is heading ...

Buku needs to bulk up this season then i’ll entertain him being back up ruck

Nothing would make me happier

Lobb whilst frustrating isn’t a huge loss

This is grim…

 

[Foxman98]

Lobb leaving suggests we also might’ve finally worked out we went far to tall most weeks and might finally get the game style and ball movement most here want

If he goes I think it'd be to GWS.
At a quick guess I'd imagine something like Oliver and 24 for 6 and 13

Salary cap mate. They’d need Haynes off books who is reportedly on $1m + .

if they wanted to bring someone in tthey'd push him out.

Then they’d have to pay someone to take him

Unless he grows 6 inches in height I really don't like the plan

Geelong like this.
