[Mutineer]

Which of our players would you have in the top 50?

Laird maybe, certainly ahead of a couple in there especially Liberatore on his form the last couple of years, Dawson a chance perhaps.

Laird , Seedsman?

 

[MRB37]

Yeah he'll do.

Bulldogs do have Macrae, Daniel and Bailey Dale coming up as FA's, as well as Tim English and Bailey Smith coming out of contract with the WA teams supposedly ready to offer English a deal. Imagine you're busting out the cheque book for Macrae for sure, Dale too, could certainly see a salary squeeze where someone gets pushed out.

Laird will probably just sneak in to the last few spots.

Are they ignoring Seedsman because of his injury?

Dunkley being one year off FA is irritating. Would cost us a first round pick just for that extra year

Would have to be an end of round 1st rounder at best unless a team is deperate for him given he'll be out of contract....and contingent on him being regular 22 at the Doggies this season. He's a good mid but he's nowhere near the real top guys.

I don't know the answer to that but Rowan Marshall that high is also ridiculous, good ruckman/Utility but the 14th best player in the League at this point? No Way.

 

[1990crow]

Laird is absolutely top 50 player. Stiff.

Tex is better than Franklin these days. He can hardly walk!

Didn't Buddy kick more goals than Tex last year from a similar amount of games?

 

[Mutineer]

Didn't Buddy kick more goals than Tex last year from a similar amount of games?

Yeah but Buddy didn't have to contend wuth our midfield...LOL LOL LOL

Which of our players would you have in the top 50?

Based in last year's form? None.
I think by end of year ROB may sneak into it, Doedee if he doesn't keep getting injured too.

Tex easily, but that would be it, he's the only elite player we have

Same I thought.

Tex: 48 from 17

So, nothing in it, really.

Dunkley seems unlikely to move outside Melbourne/Sydney

“Before the draft Dunkley had made his desire to stay in his home state of Victoria well known and only nominated the Swans as a father and son when he didn’t receive assurances from Victorian clubs they would draft him.

The Swans said they had no problem with this but would only take him late in the draft.”

??… thats an article from 2015!… how is that in anyway relevant?..

the whole discussion/rumour centres around him maybe wanting a trade to an Adelaide team because his missus is going to be in Adelaide..

what he may or may not have wanted to do back in 2015 in his draft year means nothing now.

still.. do we really want him?.. Mutineer seems to suggest a page or so ago he’s poor by foot. if so.. no thanks. we need an elite mid or three. not more poor ball users.

His partner probably didn't play netball in Adelaide 7 years ago

 

[CroCop]

Absolutely.

Rob !! Absolute horrible player , the only thing he can do is drop back in hole and take marks in defence . Every other facet of his game is below amateur standards fitness aside. Ruck work, kicking , connection with mids and agility s___ks.

He'll surprise people this season.

Just changing the subject but what is the story about Sam Berry's practice match where the AFL site had him attending 14 centre bounces but only managed 10 fantasy points for the game? Something's not right.
Anyone know?
