Interesting.
A good Carlton supporting mate of mine in Melbourne reckons that Luke Lloyd is going to be a gun!
His son plays at the same club as Luke & he has watched Luke play against men. He reckons he saw Luke take a mark floating across the front of the pack ala Royce Hart (Hey no I am...
Another out of left field option is maybe putting Hipwood at CHB. He would have the athleticism, height & football nouse to make the switch. Although it may be seen as robbing Peter to pay Paul a bit. Then leave Gunston & Daniher & Big O/Fort in the forward line.
Who if any, of the delisted players could be a role player/back up for us?
I don't that we need too much now. We're a pretty well balanced team.
What about Jarrod Lienert as a back up tall defender? I haven't heard a thing about the health/well being of Marcus Adams.
From what I saw of him...
Well said! I don't understand the logic of this thinking as well. Seems some people want change for change's sake. We're doing very well at the present.
The Dogs are still shitty with the Lions for pinching Bernie Quinlan off them in May 1978!
He went on to win the Coleman Medal twice & the Brownlow Medal!
Fairs fair Dogs. We gave you Josh Schache for sweet FA!
Bit salty? I'm not whingeing or complaining. And it's not grinding my gears as you say. I'm just making a comment. It's an AFL extravaganza. But go for it. Knock yourself out. Lol!
Wow, the trades are happening en masse today! 3 Already & it's NOT even 4pm!
So there are about 680 listed AFL across 18 clubs. There are 45 so called experts & leading journalists (Purple, Caro???) commentating on the trades. And many hundreds of thousands fans, eagerly waiting to see who...
Seems a bit suspicious that most of the BIG deals, have not been done as yet.
All down to the last 3 days & most likely the last day. Even if clubs have agreed to trades in principle.
The AFL loves this "nailbiter, down to the wire" approach to the trades, almost like the cliffhanger of the...
We'll be right now! Dogs need to swallow their pride & do the deal or face the fallout of a disgruntled player & a peed of fan base, if he walks to the PSD!
Sam Power needs to learn how to HAGGLE as per that brilliant video in the "Life of Brian".
Dom Ambrogio: "Quick, how much for Josh Dunkley???. It's for the Fages"
Sam Power: "Ahhh Pick 15".
Dom: "Ok, there you are, Pick 15!"
Sam: "WAIT a minute, we're supposed to HAGGLE!"
Dom: "No, no, no...
The machinations of trade week is fascinating. Obviously the gurus have an end goal/objective in mind. But I wonder how far ahead they think as they do each trade, each pick swap? They are genius number crunchers, that's for sure!
I'm inspired now.
Off to the supermarket to see if I can split a $100 bill into various other bills & some groceries!
My son is coming with me too, so wonder if I'm eligible for the 20% discount?
Can someone PLEASE list what picks we now & the value of the points? Trying to get my head around it. I have to meet a couple of Bulldog friends over the weekend & I need to know what I am talking about, in order to argue vociferously with them.
Oh look I enjoy a good belly laugh, but that is not even funny! I'd rather take a 71 year old Bernie Quinlan (The superstar in my avatar) for pick 76! I'd fall asleep watching Ben Brown line up for goal! Even Dennis Lillee didn't have a run up as long as Ben!
Take a chill pill Winston. Trade Week is supposed to be full of fun & laughter. We're still laughing at the Dogs for "pinching" Schache off us a few years back. No good you coming to these parts with the built up aggro of a frustrated bulldog! Now go & run off to your Outback Dunny & have a...
Well if that's the case, that's not on either. So you're intent on doing a tit for tat on our board are you? And no I haven't checked out the Dog's board. It doesn't interest me. I look to the experts, the gurus like Matthew Lloyd to get my info. re: trades & who can win premierships etc.
Buggered if I know! I'm just sitting here with a calculator in my hand. I can't find the button that converts draft picks into points! It's gonna be a long week! Better get some popcorn. In Lions WE trust!
Hypothetical....IF we did the Dunkley trade quickly with the Dogs, for Pick 15 & a future pick THEN Bowes nominated us as his club of choice, say at the end of the week THEN we could take Pick 7 to the draft. Or split that pick for points for Ashcroft & Fletcher. Pipedream I guess.
I HATE this pre-trade period!!!
It's like opening up your Xmas presents, a week before before Xmas Day!
You want to have some SURPRISES on Xmas Day.
Although I don't want any unwanted gifts or unpleasant surprises, like Hughy McCluggage announcing next week, that he wants to join Big Dan at...
I wonder if Gunston is waiting for McStay to make his move, before he commits to us?
What if McStay decides to stay? Then we wouldn't need Gunston.
We can't afford both of them.
Just a thought!
