Only 24, I'd love him to come. Especially so cheap.

And who exactly would he displace? He's a 3rd tall, we have Young and Wood already. He's not exactly that offensive, and we already have good defenders as is, and i'd be ok with letting them develop as is, maybe add Scharenberg and of course add another running HBF. Pass.

Wooo only 8 unread pages on tapatalk, I feel like I can re-enter the discussion without looking too much a fool.
I've missed you guys.

I reckon we go hard for Dawes and Jack Martin.

The trade whispers article on the AFL website says that JJ is a name that has been thrown up to get the Crameri deal done, but it's just "speculation".

If we even consider that deal JMac should be shot.

Regarding the Patton Deal

I would take Patton for Pick 4 and Wood in a heartbeat. People do their knee - its Footy. Doesn't mean he is going to have a knee problem for the rest of his career.

Don't GWS need to cut their list though? So really they are giving up 1 player and receiving 2..seems doubtful.

 

[footyfan000001]

Regarding GWS and Buddy..

I just find it so strange that they would spend so much money on Franklin when their forward line is already going to be amazing with Cameron, Patton and Boyd. Should spend their money elsewhere. But in saying that - I hope it forces Patton out!!

It would just be speculation. This is how it went down:

Bomber: "Hey there's this promising young jet at the Dogs called Jason Johannisen, looks to be a 200 game player. Perhaps we should make a play for him?"

Dodoro: "BRILLIANT! We'll give them Gumbleton for JJ, Griffen, Libba and pick 4. This is a fair deal for all parties. Aren't I just the most amazing, handsome, talented man you've ever seen?"

They need a poster boy to get the crowd in. They were after a gun midfielder, but it seems there's no one that wants to go there.

I just saw that it was written by Jacqui Reed, so carry on, nothing to see here.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Is anyone else having trouble reading BF in the last two days. I am getting the BF logo as a non faint watermark behind every quoted piece making it impossible to read. Is it just me?

There've been a few issues with the site the last two days but that sounds like one that can be fixed on your end. If you clear your browser cache it should fix itself.

My source tells me Crameri was at the club again yesterday, I think he's coming to us.

He hasn't seen Patton, but that doesn't mean he wasn't there. Just reporting what he had seen.

Industry insider (not directly connected to the club) is also adamant Crameri will be a dog.

Still no deal for Addison either.

 

[Reptilia]

If we get Crameri.. Then really all Addison will be at most is a depth player.

 

[fronkalicious]

That's all he is anyways

 

[Chris Grant]

Yep Addison is in trouble and it's the right move with Crameri most likely coming.

 

[inyourfacedunk]

Very valuable depth. He can go back to the backline more permanently and shut down opposition small forwards. The team also has a few aging players in the backline who will be gone in a year or two at most.
As for playing up forward, Gia will probably miss a few games and there is no telling how Higgins will go with injuries. Same with Williams.

Will also depend on what happens if Wood gets traded.

Put it this way, Addison wouldn't exactly be demanding huge money, so having a player who is borderline best 22 (could be in or out depending on match ups), who is consistent, plays to the plan and can definitely hold his own at AFL level is better to have in the team than not.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I think Addison still has a role to play, but that said, what kind of compensation do you think we'd get? He'd be perfect for a side like Melbourne or GWS; can certainly see him getting picked up. Band four (end of second round) is what I'd expect - and that could be very valuable.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Actually, looking at some precedents (Young for third round pick; Murphy and Byrnes for nothing) it's unlikely we'd get anything. Would rather keep him.

 

[boydsno1]

Big fan of Addo as i like what he brings but if Crameri does come then it would be best for us and Addo to move on. Would be a good fit for GWS or even the dees. Hopefully we can get a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder for him.

I agree with you completely. Love addo and the way he plays and think he is a solid soldier who does his job for the team. Really hope we keep him.

exactaly. Especially if we ain't offered anything great for him. Is great at depth and could be a real leader at the Footscray Bulldogs. Addison is so valuable to our team. It isn't about a best 22 anymore. Addison can fill a lot of gaps. Play back and forward. Hell, he could probably even tag a player if we needed one and picken and Wallis couldn't play.
Can still see him playing around 10 games for us.
10 for us and 12 for Footscray.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Addo is useful, solid soldier, clubs need them, but we need to improve in other areas first, and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't miss him.
But If he gets moved on I hope its for the right reasons. I doubt we will get anything for him.

"“There were some games when he was absolutely cooked.""

Sounds about right....

 

[The Original Swooper]

Can't see how Addo can bring us anything worthwhile on his own. I think Addo is almost the perfect depth player (the kind you want to keep, but as a barometer you don't necessarily want to see him in the 22). So unless he becomes a pivotal piece in a complex trade I'd be hanging on to him.

I agree mostly, but if freeing up money for a move at a player, I think addo is easily let go.
