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

Anja_Nees no Steven Koops?

I remember he was called “Apple” on here for a while, as in Apple Turnover.

But they were elite turnovers.

 

[Mofra]

Ok, I need you all to sit down for this. I just had to go and check out a property for a friend and Google maps sent me there via Butters Drive.

I once was told to go via Talia Drive but then I lost the signal.

 

[King Harold]

We are not getting Butters , but there is a very good chance we land George Hewitt

 

[Doggy]

The Dawks have awarded themselves Harley Reid

I'd happily take Carlton's second best player.

 

[Afro_dog]

Its exciting to see the club put its hat in the ring for these big name targets and hopefully we can pull it off.

As a contingency, if we don't land these bigger names there are a few prospects from the 21 draft that are out of contract that I'd be keen to target with ideally our 2nd rd pick:

Josh Ward (Haw)
Josh Sinn (Port)
Mitch Knevitt (Geel)

Not superstars but they have all shown a lot of progress over the last 12 months and would be great additions to our team at a lower cost. The 2020-2 drafts have left us with very few players in the age range 21-24 so I think it should be a focus of our next trade period.

Why would we waste a 2nd rounder on any of these guys if they're struggling to get a game?

Lipinski showed more and went for a pick in the 50s

Lipinski was traded for a 3rd, and all of these guys were drafted earlier than him so there is the potential tax.

My thinking is if they continue to improve the cost of a 2nd rd is more than acceptable. Josh Ward in particular has been quite good this year.

Where they were drafted is irrelevant Paddy Dow was pick 3 and traded for Peanuts as well,

None of them have done anything at AFL level to waste a 2nd rounder on and I would be fuming if the club did,

Some may be fine enough recruits just not for any value

 

[Mofra]

I'd rather just draft than trade unless there's a superstar on offer.
I'd take a Freijah/Dolan/Davidson every year thanks.

 

[CarnTheScray]

We can’t be trading second round picks for low ceiling players. Matt Kennedy should be the prime example of what you do with a second rounder.

I was hoping my fellow bulldogs got my pathetic attempt at humour, apparently not all have

Well they are all firmly within the best 22 so they aren't struggling to get a game. They're all young players who have progressed as expected as are now within the senior team.

Lipinski played 8 full games in his final year (none after round 11) and was well and truly out of the side. It's comparing apples & oranges.

 

[X_box_X]

100%. I would take Rowell ahead of Reid. I feel like Rowell makes his teammates better.

I love Rowell but I don't agree with this.

Reid more likely than not to turn out to be more influential than Rowell and he has a few years on him too.

Rowell has had injury concerns as well which may stop him from reaching his full potential.

 

[X_box_X]

Does seem rare. Judd, Cameron, Dangerfield or probably the biggest trades in recent memory, all in their prime. Not too many more on Butters level

Add Burgoyne to the list.

 

[Foxman98]

Burgoyne was "cooked"

(evidently he was not in hindsight)

 

[The White Mouse]

I look forward to the day that Kane Toad has to discuss Butters to the Dogs. About Novemberish I reckons.

It'll be Butters ... the salted kind......and then the toad's reaction to it will be the  story .... on 7 anyway ... so yay ... something to look fwd to

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Bailey Smith has improved on his 28% (!) Disposal Efficiency from last week, but is still the worse on ground currently at 56%

* I'm not salty

Tells you all you need to know about the extent of the AFL's commitment to an equal competition.

Don't stand between them and a dollar.

they would call it maximizing the opportunity for fans to see their club play. how. many oppo seats are available at geelong? Im guessing 10K? I dont know

 

[cecil]

Do we start planning to pick over the corpse of Melbourne yet? I'd be okay with May or Salem on the cheap if they want one last crack at another flag

I’d hope Cody is talking to Petracca
