We pretty much got value for Keath. You could argue it was slight unders but we weren't getting a first rounder for him.Keath

He did SOMETIMES, but it was rare. Also, the inclusion of Fogarty negates the need for Greenwood forward.Recruiting is fine. List management meh. Greenwood took a great contested mark when forward.
Getting rid of that option when we don’t do that much was bemusing.
100%He is of course just 1 voice on a list management committee that included Roo, Burto and Pyke. Reid doesn’t make any decisions unilaterally. I don’t know why he cops it to the extent he does.
With a second back, yeah we should have. They gave him a 4 year $600k plus contract, that shows you his worth.We pretty much got value for Keath. You could argue it was slight unders but we weren't getting a first rounder for him.
Fogarty is a different animal at ground level and you know it. And leads for his grabs.He did SOMETIMES, but it was rare. Also, the inclusion of Fogarty negates the need for Greenwood forward.
600K is less than Lever, plus he's nearly 8 years older than Jake was. If we think we got overs for him, which we did, then we got market value for Keath.With a second back, yeah we should have. They gave him a 4 year $600k plus contract, that shows you his worth.
Plus do you think we held out with 5 mins to go for pick 45?
He's every bit as good as Greewnood in every aspect of the game. Much better in most aspects.Fogarty is a different animal at ground level and you know it. And leads for his grabs.
I was just saying he was better but different.He's every bit as good as Greewnood in every aspect of the game. Much better in most aspects.
$600 plus, 4 year deal. We got 2 firsts for Lever and gave a second back.600K is less than Lever, plus he's nearly 8 years older than Jake was. If we think we got overs for him, which we did, then we got market value for Keath.
I do yeah, they held the "He needed surgery" card and Ken Wood was in all likelihood going to let them play it.$600 plus, 4 year deal. We got 2 firsts for Lever and gave a second back.
We got 45 for Keath, ignore next year’s pick swap, those picks will be very close.
Again it boils down to this, why did we wait until the end of the trade period to accept Keaths “value”? Do you think the Bulldogs weren’t even offering that?
Reid had to sit and wait until Bruce and the pick more suitable went.$600 plus, 4 year deal. We got 2 firsts for Lever and gave a second back.

Come on, that’s bulldust. No way were they not even offering 45.I do yeah, they held the "He needed surgery" card and Ken Wood was in all likelihood going to let them play it.
I would've wanted a pick in the 30s.
I reckon that's all they offered. You also have to factor in what we offered the guy..... a 2 year deal on less money per year.Come on, that’s bulldust. No way were they not even offering 45.
But it wouldn’t have been just 13, they would have got 23 back.I reckon that's all they offered. You also have to factor in what we offered the guy..... a 2 year deal on less money per year.
Dogs could quite easily have said "you want 13 but you're only offering a 2 year deal, we'll give you 45". If we REALLY wanted him we wouldn't have low balled him. Puts you in an awkward bargaining position.
To me it's clear we don't want to pay 3rd tall defenders big coin. Does worry me somewhat when suitors come calling for Tom Doedee, but his age profile and a new coach who loves intercept marking may help.
I don't think we did well as such, we got what we deserved given the length of contract we offered.But it wouldn’t have been just 13, they would have got 23 back.
There’s no way anyone can say we did well with the Keath trade.
They got back pick 23.I don't think we did well as such, we got what we deserved given the length of contract we offered.
They didn't want that deal you proposed, I can completely understand that too. Whilst they are a good young side, they can't afford to give up a first rounder.
The question then remains, would he have played for us again if we didn't get a deal done, or would he have gone to the draft ??
Adding a pick next year with our NGA and FS prospects was clearly the aim.
I'd say the 2 sides will finish in similar positions TBH.They got back pick 23.
The question remains, would another club have picked him up at the draft and had he not got to the Bulldogs who clearly valued him and need him to give 2020 a real shake.
Except we didn’t add a pick next year, we gave back a third which odds are will be an early third rounder and the second we got will odds on be a late second rounder.
It was a s**t trade.
Young team who found their mojo in the second half of the year to make the finals, have added 2 players to cover glaring weaknesses and who should only get better, versus a team who has lost players, with largely untried youngsters and little depth, you’re pretty optimistic there.I'd say the 2 sides will finish in similar positions TBH.
They are more than an Alex Keath and Josh Bruce away from a flag IMO, I can't see them jumping too many places.
Disagree it was a s**t trade, some people here just had stars in their eyes.

I think they'll be good, but who are they overtaking ?? Geelong perhaps, Collingwood maybe. Can't see them overtaking WC, Giants, Richmond or BrisbaneYoung team who found their mojo in the second half of the year to make the finals, have added 2 players to cover glaring weaknesses and who should only get better, versus a team who has lost players, with largely untried youngsters and little depth, you’re pretty optimistic there.

As for us, you've taken a funny view considering you (and most of us TBF) think we wasted our time with older guys and the youth would've provided more. That alone suggests we should be at least as good. New coaches, a top end draft pick and a team full of youthful exuberance. Will be an inconsistent year but our best is still good enough to be around the 7th-11th spot.
We’ve wasted our time for the very reason we find ourselves in, old guys gone and no games into the kids. To then except them to come in all at once and perform is not how you develop the squad.I think they'll be good, but who are they overtaking ?? Geelong perhaps, Collingwood maybe.

Don’t disagree with most of that EC.We’ve wasted our time for the very reason we find ourselves in, old guys gone and no games into the kids. To then except them to come in all at once and perform is not how you develop the squad.
In 12 months they will be better, as they would have been this year had we played them.
Now with an average injury run we have no depth tested.
