Whats better than waking up knowing that Dunkley will be in Lions colours in 2023?
Waking up and reading/finding out that we actually got back TWO future 3rd picks not one.
Dom is Good - real Good
100%
No Dunkley trade = No Lobb trade
Freo will not accept pick 30 especially when they know that 21 will be available and is what they would value their contracted key forward/ruckman.
It looks like
- F1, 21 & F2 (geel/lions) for Dunkley and 39
Our points goes from 3621 to 3189
Another option could be to pick swap with say Syd (F2 and 21 for 17 and 37)
Then trade F1 & 17 for Dunkley
We will be 37 points better off (3226)
Also we give the 2 'first' rounders they desperately...
100%
Our current picks, especially 21, 25, 34 - 36 are more valuable now with so much playing around us than if we take this to draft night.
I can see 21 moving from us to WB ->FREM ->MELB and finishing up at Collingwood.
The key is we need as close to 3000 points as possible, if not slightly...
So let me get this right
The original offer was Pick 15 & future first for Dunkley and picks 30 and/or 39.
And the dogs rejected this. WHY?
So we then traded pick 15 for something better to help our overall situation.
When it's all said and done Bulldogs need 21 to satisfy Frem - they will...
Interesting to see who we target with our next pick - currently pick 40.
Currently picks before us:
- FREM: 21
- NTH: 22,34,37
- HAW: 23, 26
- GEEL; 24, 25, 33
- CAR: 27
- RICH: 28,29,30
- WCE: 31, 36
- SYD: 32, 39
- ADEL: 35
- MELB: 38
Wonder whether we trade Pick 40 and a 2022 2nd for one of...
Interesting to listen to Fages post draft - he said that Wilmot and Lohmann were the two priorities tonight.
He said that we selected players 'that are both fast & athletic, fulfill the needs of the footy club and that are going to help us'...
I had a look yesterday at clubs that we could do a trade with to move our picks. There really was only a few - this is based on not using our '22 first rounder. The more I think about it would be better to use it next year, as we might get the most out of it.
Teams that would consider to trade...
Some commentators really need to get their marbles checked.
Jon Ralph explains clearly that we don't have the cap space to bring in a Gunston, yet Kingy blabbers on for the next 2-3 mins about using pick 18 to bring in a Gunston.
Lets get something straight we still have two first round picks -...
The few times I saw him (Fort) play this year in the VFL he was very impressive. He has a presence about him which I really like - he loves physical contact and loves to impose himself on the contest. Will be a valuable addition.
So let me get this right - we're looking at trading most of our...
Yes I have and I think a third rounder was going to do it - however, I also heard that the Suns were also into him, hence why they're trying to find cap space and a list spot.
Thanks Mate - briztoon
Looking at Cal Twomeys updated top 30, he has rated Goater at 18 and Ward at 6. Looking at his list, was there anyone that surprised you (high/low)? Also keeping 14 and 18 (which will become 16 and 20) should get us two quality players that will help us moving fwd...
I'm interested to hear from the draft experts on our board about the difference between the type of player we could get at
- pick 2/3
- picks 6-9
- picks 14 & 18
I do like Goater and Ward from what I have seem (limited) and heard. There is talk that apart from Daicos, Darcy and Horne-Francis...
Got a feeling that the Lions will tempt/lure Brendan Bolton to the club.
- Has past history with Fages
- Will certainly add a more defensive side to out game (especially as midfield coach)
- A different voice and fresh ideas
Hopefully the Dees lose tonight and we have picks 14 and 15/16 - which does give us a few options
- Go to the draft with picks 14, 15/16 (which will become 16 - 20) and hopefully pick up players like Amiss and Johnson
- Trade up by packaging 14 & 15/16 to Carl for picks 6 and their 2022 2nd...
Great first effort mate.
I'm in totally agreement with you there.
Zorko needs to play as that pressure high half fwd and Bailey, Hugh, Rayner, Berry and Cockatoo, rotate from mid to wing to fwd.
Great outcome - but there is still one question that needs to be answered
- who leaked the info to Ryan Daniels and why? Was it Freo or Was it someone from the family?
If it was Freo, I would be dirty if I was the Neale's, as would all Lions supporters.
Neale sounded very emphatic - however...
I wonder what Hawks fans would consider a fair trade for Mitchell from the Lions.
- Pick 14/18 and 2022 1st Rounder with Haw 2022 2nd/3rd coming back.
Gives Hawks: 5, 14/18, 24 this year and 2 first rounders next year.
If Lions get pick 8 and 2022 2nd rounder from Freo.
- Offer pick 8 and 3rd...
Gee, you should get bored more often. If only some List Managers would too.
From a Lions perspective it looks fair.
I could see the Suns seriously look at that Lobb deal - as a key experienced fwd to help King and one that could ruck and they still take pick 8 and 19 to the draft.
You might need...
Interesting aspect of this is the talk it is Freo as his club of choice.
Personally, I don't care that he played at Freo or that he doesn't fit WCE's age profile or salary cap BUT when he announces that he wants to get traded he better bloody say 'to a WA club'. As Ben Dixon said, if its for...
I really think the Dockers will want something in the first round for this year as there are some highly touted WA youngsters.
They would want to keep one of 6 or 8 OR at worst get 14 back.
So its more likely 6/8 and their 2022 second rounder for Neale. We use our 2022 1st rounder elsewhere -...
Yes I agree - he doesn't want to request a trade - but for news to come out it must have come from his camp. This is how things work. Ideally, he will wait until after the B & F and then announce his intention to seek a trade back for Freo.
I was clearly told yesterday that 'he is 100% leaving'...
Ryan Daniels from WA has just tweeted that the Witherdon trade will get done tomorrow. Also mentions that the future 2nd rounder picked up in the Hickey trade will not be used. Might be Sydney's future 3rd that we get.
Can I assume that we will be offering that future 3rd for Cockatoo?
To me this seems like it was driven by Melbourne.
Based on this years ladder positions it is basically
picks 43 & 69 next year for picks 53 & 46 (next year)
As for other pick swaps.
I think we should at look at picks 7 & 48...
Gee this pisses my off - especially that Cornes Prick who was the one that said this.
We actually have professionals running our club who understand and plan for the now and the future. We have no one on 900K plus - like most clubs do. We're a club that has structured its pay scale fairly...
I'd be pissed off from a Lions perspective if Ess don't match and expect a top 10 pick.
As I mentioned on the Bombers board recently (with a lot of positives comments) that Ess should accept the 'free' compensation pick (approx 20) and then use this in a side deal with the Lions to move up the...
