List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

Apparently Vickery is all but signed with hawks (thank god). Minson anyone? I don't think his age would matter for the role we require.

He is almost just exclusively a ruck isn't he?

I personally think we should take a flyer on a state-league mature ruckman. Not too young, not too old.

If we're taking a flyer on a state league ruck, we'd only be using them for depth at best. If Max goes down, then Spencil will be the main man.

Maybe its worth using pick 297 on a longshot ruck to sit in development for a few years. Pick an athelete thats like 220 cm and teach him to kick? Either that or milk some Cat B rookies from the NBA.

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

The candidate will be 200cm+, must be a self-starter who can take a pack mark and is reasonably mobile. Some experience with ruckwork is preferred, but not essential.

Just clone Gawn?

If Mason Cox can keep Travis Cloke out of the side, I don't think never having seen a Sherrin before is that much of a deal breaker if he's 210 cm+ and quick over 20m.

Anyone think about throwing one of the delisted dockers a lifeline?

 

[Dory_77]

Anyone think about throwing one of the delisted dockers a lifeline?

No. They were all battler role players at best; I doubt Mzungu or Clancee Pearce are going to push us up the ladder. Sure they'd be depth but we're starting to actually develop some of that ourselves. Don't need more plodders clogging the list.

So Dodoro was on Trade Radio this morning, and incredibly actually said that he's happy to take 26 for Hibberd.

I think we will try to offer our 2017 2nd.

I think so too. Reckon we really want to stay inside the top 30 of this draft.

Pretty sure Mahoney said the other day that they were comfortable with not making a pick until the 3rd round due to the success we've been having with late selections the last few years.

If Essendon are happy to take 26, just deal it. They won't want to take the risk of next years ... because they clearly know we'll finish Top 4

 

[schmuttt]

Rumour is hogan is on less than 800k and it got me thinking, have we got plans to land someone in 2017? Think about it. Dawes will be gone and we wouldn't even have that many players on 500+. How ironic would Fyfe be...

Love this wishful thinking... Fyfe would take us to top 4 I have no doubt about it.

What is Mitch Honeychurch's situation?

I've seen some Bulldogs fans suggest that he's very much available ... for whatever thats worth

We haven't been paying big money to anyone for years. It's actually been a case of paying duds overs just to fill the salary cap quota. With that being said I'm pretty sure we have been front end loading anyone who was earning decent coin & come next season we will have the money to throw at free agents. Just need to make sure we still have draft picks to make a big play.

 

[harry000]

We already have enough depth players. Need guns!

Of course, just as we get bumped down to 27 by the lions pp

"Sorry demons you'll have to trade into the top 26 to satisfy us"

I've been thinking that too. Surely we won't nab Fyfe, but we'd have to have significant salary cap room.

Pity there's no good free agents available so we wouldn't have to offer up picks/players and could just splash some cash on them.

No good ones for 2017 you mean?

 

[The Dr]

No, this year.

Next year is a bumper crop, with Fyfe, Dusty and heaps of others - we could potentially be saving up some coin to go hard next year...

That's what I'm thinking, throw the kitchen sink at a FA in 2017 when we don't anyone OOC and we will have some more currency in terms of picks.

 

[ThaiBarmats]

'Next year is a bumper crop, with Fyfe, Dusty and heaps of others - we could potentially be saving up some coin to go hard next year...'

Yep, feel we will not be trading any of next years picks. And maybe try to add some extra picks for 2017 so we can make a hard play for the above.
