Dodoro up on Trade Radio now

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Tomorrow's headline of "Crameri is a dog" will be a fitting tribute...

 

[The Dustbin]

Barrett is a two faced bitch. A few weeks ago he was laying the boots into EFC for not taking pick 22 blah blah blah, now he is saying that understandably it took a while because EFC was trying to talk the player around and the trade period doesn't end until tomorrow. w***er.

 

[dnbassador]

left footers = best goal kickers

In the Crameri thread on the dogs board lol

 

[Zach Package]

operation: get Mitch Harvey.

Will also accept operation: get Trent Dumont, operation: get Matt Crouch and operation: get Jonathan Marsh

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Dodoro completely shooting down Myers moving on. Got a contract and not on the the table and will be at the club next year

 

[222EB]

I hope we do, but you're probably right. It'd take Jobe's approval for us to take him and I'm not sure we'd get it.

I think after the shit we went through this yr everyone at Ess should revaluate all our opinions/preconceptions & hopefully have a change of heart & go with the best option at 26.

 

[Dazb86]

Don't know whether i'm rationalizing reality or not, but all in all i'm really happy to replace Crameri with Chapman + 26. That pick mitigates the sanctions and looks after our future, while Chapman provides us with a forward who has a half decent chance of performing in the second half of the season (unlike Crameri).

I agree with this. Chapman is an upgrade on Crameri. He's probably only got a couple years left but that's valuable time for your other forwards to develop.

The only risk is his body not being able to hold up.

You should be able to get a decent player with pick 26 too.

 

[WEEVZ]

And if he's that good, he won't be there at 26

He'll more than likely slide because of his past issues.

 

[222EB]

Pretty obvious listening to AD that Crameri & Dogs were threatening PSD.

 

[dnbassador]

were done in the trade apparently just not closing the door completely

 

[Andronicus]

That is so dumb and really showing you have no idea how trading works. Yes we got the same deal we could have gotten on day 1, but it would have been truly embarrassing to just accept it rather than trying to get as much as possible. We always knew pick 26 was there, it wasn't at risk of being taken away. They tried to keep him, tried everything to put together a deal that was best for us.

By the sounds of it you want us to be bitches and accept whatever the other clubs offer.

No we didn't. They were offering pick 22 on day 1.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Gumby is all that's left for us to do now - Dodoro.

 

[rines]

Very disappointed that we couldn't get more.. but obviously after trading 48.. we just couldn't get anything else that would suit..

Thought a 3 way trade with Freo could have been viable but either the club thinks they can do better (Gumby + 26 for 17) or they just thought it was time to get the deal done.

As to the notion we should have just taken this on Day 1.. yeesh..

Unfortunately the Dogs having such an early pick in the PSD on account of them being crap.. really hurt our position.

Oh and I would agree with what others have said about us rolling over on the penalties.. I was as shocked, and disappointed, as many others.. but that is evident in my posting after our capitulation.. however I would state that the club at NO POINT indicated they had cheated, or had allowed cheating, to occur at the club. But we don't need to open new wounds.

If you still believe those charges weren't a trumped up witch hunt.. well then enjoy your Age subscription..

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Meanwhile, why does the PSD even exist?

 

[eddie_punchclock]

No we didn't. They were offering pick 22 on day 1.

which became 26 after the compensation picks

 

[WEEVZ]

Pretty obvious listening to AD that Crameri & Dogs were threatening PSD.

Crameri kind of hung us out to dry to be honest. Wasn't his manager holding the PSD over our heads the entire time?

 

[Andronicus]

which became 26 after the compensation picks

Yeah perhaps I was being too subtle.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

Yeah perhaps I was being too subtle.

Thought you were serious

 

[rines]

Bulldogs offered their 2nd round pick from start.. we accepted 2nd Round pick at end.

Still think Crameri worth far more than that...

However it looks like we are only drafting 1 player.. and other two picks will be rookie upgrades.. so maybe club figured it wasn't worth fighting for..

 

[Andronicus]

Thought you were serious

Those moments are few and far between.

Plus, I'm bored at work. Was really just wanting someone to notice me.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

Our back line will hang him out to dry.
Shame we're no longer in the 1980s

I am happy we got Edwards and Aylett for pick 48 rather than using it just to get 42. We got more value for it. Hopefully we can try and us 58 and Jetta to move up in the draft a bit.

Using two picks and upgrading Dalgleish

 

[rines]

Using two picks and upgrading Dalgleish

So #26 + #58* + whatever for rookie upgrade?

So the Gumby pick becomes live now.. so then do they try to play hardball and somehow wrangle something better?
