Mega Thread Trade and List Management discussion

[Super Hans]

It's always hard to pick a team in the off-season. Wait until round 3 when we have 7 injuries and we've lost a couple of games.......we'll be bemoaning our lack of depth......

Yeah that's always the way, I'm certainly more confident of our depth than twleve months ago. Which is a good thing.

 

[josh the gent]

What I think is most likely, so not including Patton.

Pick 4: Scharenberg
Pick 22: Crameri
(Not going to do the next few picks as I don't have any idea who we will take)

Talia------Roughead----Goodes
Higgins----Morris------Johannisen
Murphy----Griffen-----Cooney
Grant------Crameri----Dickson
Dahlhaus---Jones-------Gia
Minson------Libba-------Boyd

Wallis--Stevens--Picken--Macrae

Hunter, Stringer, Hrovat, Scharenberg, Campbell, Wood, Smith, Williams, Tutt, Young should all play games too.

Not bad, for if we could get a team like that out most weeks I'd back us to finish in the 8-11 range.

I don't mind that at all.

Would top it all off if we got Cam Conlon at pick 40, and added Willie Wheeler with our last pick.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Who would Richmond be likely to take at pick 1 or 2 (if GWS or Melb trade for Dusty)?

 

[Chris Grant]

It did get a little messy but I think a proper rumour thread would be awesome if it worked properly, maybe if somebody is willing to do it we could just have a thread that no one is allowed to post in but the OP can edit it (don't know if this is even possible) because its nice to just be able to see all the actual rumours that are actually interesting (even if completely and utterly bullshit) without having to read through pages and pages of us idiots discussing crazy trades (not that theres anything wrong with that though, I love it , western bulldogs bf page is by far the best )

That was my intention and I think I had it updated pretty well. It just spun out of control.

If we can work it some way where there's no discussion at all, just a thread to keep track of things. I'm happy to update the OP with whatever rumours I find here or in the drafting thread. What do you reckon Igloo?

[BIG_BONTS]

I want to know what Dannnnn has to say about Patton coming to the doggies!

Aren't you mates?

yeah Dannnnnnnnnn aren;t you guys best mates??

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Best mates is a stretch, haha.

I do know probably a little more than the "average" person, but it's not exactly appropriate for me to go telling everybody things that were said in confidence (gee I sound like a journalist).

At this point I'd tell people not to get themselves excited, but not to brush aside the idea as fantasy.

Ahah ok cool.. well thats better than it being pure fantasy..

Now you're sounding like a politician.

I'm not sure which is better DW, help me out here.

Thanks, is that you Paul Roos?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Thanks, is that you Paul Roos?

Not at this point in time, but I'm only 50/50 at the moment. Try me again next week.

 

[immortalmike]

Nah the response didn't cover 2000 words and multiple paragraphs to reach the conclusion of "maybe".

 

[dogwatch]

That's a serious dilemma you have there. Maybe try sounding like a coach. Coaches are much higher in the pecking order than either journos or politicians:

Look, we're not taking anything for granted. We really respect them at the negotiating table. We just know we have to crack in with our best offer and play the cards the way we want to play them. We're taking this one negotiation at a time. What I can tell you is he is a quality person, the kind of young man we'd like at our club. I appeal to our fans to be patient. We will be active in the post season and if we keep doing things the right way, the results will start to come.​

[Mofra]

7.Patton to Dogs Pick 4,22 and Wood to GWS dogs get pick 11

I always take BF rumours with a grain of salt - but I'd be over the moon with that deal.

 

[Leezorr]

I'm with you on that one, its a deal, its a steal, its the sale of the ****ing century.

also woo 1000th post only took me 6 years

 

[go you pups]

Nah the response didn't cover 2000 words and multiple paragraphs to reach the conclusion of "maybe".

Also without 81 mentions of Sydney & its proud culture & its 2 way hard running midfield & Mumford & Pyke being the best ruck duo of all time

 

[Nath09]

Can you confirm (or deny) "he's been to the club for a medical" rumour, Dannn?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

That one I didn't know until I heard it here. Doesn't necessarily mean it didn't happen though. Last I spoke to him was a couple of weeks ago.

 

[1961grandfinal]

If Crameri has the extra money as well as a three year deal, he will stay at the bombres.

 

[King Harold]

Can someone remind me if Patton has played since doing his knee , and how he went if he has ?

 

[yebiga]

It is a terrible deal 4,22 and Wood
for Patton and 11
It is effectively pick 4 plus for Patton - his had 6 knee reconstructions for heavens sake, he has the turning circle of Minson
I would rather the Crameri deal
