I certainly do.

AM startig to think taking our picks into this draft could be the way to go.

5 - Lever or Laverde

8 - Moore

22 - Blakely

29 - Cockatoo / Cavka

45 - Ed Langdon

Some terrific types in that lot. Could be a draft that really rounds out some wonderful recruiting over the last few years. After that you'd go experienced players.

Snoop, have you included Langdon for sentimental reasons or do you think he can play?

 

[boxy99]

Greenwood better not be in the Brisbane trade if he decides to come to us. That to me would be giving in. It's our demand or nothing

 

[DrDavoren]

Also think wr should go a 3 way trade with geelong and melb for the clark to geelong harry to melb and we get hunt/varcoe

No thanks

 

[DrDavoren]

Just a quick question his guys.

If we gain Greenwood and Redden and lose Beams(along with a draft pick or two).

Is our midfield stronger than it was with Beams? Or weaker?

Stronger and we have some hard types to teach the youngsters

 

[Hotpiescoldbeers]

What if we got pick 5+25+merret for beams+46
We then trade Harry + merret and pick 5 for dees #2 or 3 pick? Or if the dees don't like that, swap merret and Harry for #23 instead. That would leave us with either 2or3, 25, 30 or 5,23,25,30

 

[Rusty22]

yuck i cant believe im seeing merret and varcoe being mentioned here eww

 

[KJpie]

Wasn't the only reason he objected due to his fear of needles?

How badly do the Dogs want a ruck? i heard that is a priority for them as well as a forward.

My ideal scenario would be as follows.

Brisbane- Beams.
Bulldogs- Luenberger and pick 22(on traded from Melbourne for Lamumba)
Melbourne-Lamumba.
Collingwood Pick 4 and Luke Dahlhaus.

Bulldogs won't go for it but if we could sweeten their deal somehow and get Greenwood as well in a separate trade that would be a massive win for us.

Dalhouse is a bit overrated.

Why put up a trade option and at the end of it say they wouldnt go for it.
Whats the point?

I'm sorry i didn't realise hypothetical scenarios were banned from a thread with 300 pages of gospel truths and things that won't happen which ever way you look at it.

Im all for hypothetical but u r saying your own trade idea wont work. I like seeing peoples views on trades but when u talk your own trade idea down, i dont get it

 

[Axl the great]

Dalhouse is a bit overrated.

I reckon he is under rated mate, put him in a Hawthorn or Sydney jumper and he is a young star who would be worth a lot more as a trade.
At the Bulldogs he is under valued.
Perception is everything.

 

[Frankie23]

Harry and 5 for 2/3 could be a very viable option if both teams drafting plans align. For example if we are desperate for Brayshaw and Melbourne aren't that keen, it really doesn't matter if they drop back 2 or 3 places. But as a I said, there would have to be a player we are super keen on and Melbourne don't rate...

 

[gtrain23]

I think we need to be strong about this beams trade
Show some balls for once

I like my idea too haha, but i can't see the dogs going for it even if i think it is fair, thats what i was trying to say.

Ok, all good

Raise the bat 300 not out

Raise the bat 300 not out

It has been a glorious and a pain filled innings. Hopefullly we can crack the golden 400 with victory (pick 5+aish/mayes) in sight

 

[ottoman]

Many of the Brisbane posts have hit me for six during this innings

 

[Crazy Tails]

Geez where are all these Brisbane intruders when we need them here to tell us who the mystery player considering a move might be?

I think many brisbane posters made a solid duck in their contributions towards a possible solution

Yep, most of their trade ideas have had me stumped

Too small and relies on crumbs and lucky bounce.Pick 4 and Dahlhaus for beams? You gotta be kidding.
