Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
I'm waiting to see how long it takes North to throw him into defence, only to suddenly realise that doesn't work either. -

Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Agree with that. Jones has 10cm and 10kg on Membrey. Plus with Walker playing as a permanent forward next year, White/Watson can also fill mid-size forward roles (just about) if need be. I think talls are the key. Wouldn't surprise me if Jaksch plays as a permanent back if we get him. -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Assuming Jaksch is our No.1 KPP target, does anyone else think the club has made a choice to target Jones ahead of Membrey? -

Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Considering our interest in players like Membrey, Jaksch, Jones and Tutt, does that not make it essential to ship out Robinson, Garlett, maybe Lucas as soon as possible in the week? There'll be competition for Membrey/Jaksch and you'd assume, if our interest holds in Jones and Tutt, they'd both... -

His forward pressure stats are reasonably good. Averaged around 5 tackles and 4 inside 50s per game (from 76% time on ground) in 2014. Goes at only 69% by foot, though. -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
I'm worried about taking so many of these fringe Bulldogs players. Even with 3rd/4th round draft picks, can we really expect them to take us to the next level? Depth is one thing, quality in depth is another. -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
That's the problem. As I said before. If we've targeted a KPP on the trade table and end up with only Jones, is it really an upgrade on what we had? -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Intensity/work ethic is the biggest problem with Jones, but he has shown glimpses that he can improve (see above). He's still 23 and has been in the system for quite a long time (drafted as a 17-year-old if I remember correctly). Got a good pair of hands. If we can nab him on the cheap, might... -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Any indication of what would be an acceptable trade for Jones? Would the Dogs be after a player (Robinson?) or draft picks to continue their rebuild? -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
Agreed. Giving up pick 6-7 for a third-year pick 12 who hasn't shown *that* much sign of development. He's only played 7 games in 2 years. -
Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014
If we've targeted a KPP this trade period - which it seems we have given links to Jaksch, Jones, small ties with Membrey etc. - then would it be considered a slight failure to only nab Liam Jones? 68 career goals in five years and only 10 games last year... Hardly an upgrade on what we have. -

Anyone keen on getting down to the G on Saturday night to wave wooden spoons at Essendon fans? Just as they did to us in '05 and '06 ?
