2017 Trade and FA thread

[3KZ is Football]

Let's see if he wins the Melbourne Cup first. Comeback Lions is backing Dondongo in that one.

Dodongo is a gelding and they have a great record in The Cup.

 

[SizeMatters]

Is there an optimum number or just something like one an hour for the duration of the trade period?

Long live the one club player.

circumstances can change during a players career.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Is Dondongo a gelding? They have a great record in The Cup.

Don't know. Best ask Dodongo. Might depend on what happens with the Shack. He said he was running in the Cup and I believe what Dodongo says.

1/2 a gelding I believe.......just like Hitler.

 

[Lazza16]

It needs to go back to five days.

When it was 5 days we complained it was to short lol.

They didn't as much 10+ years ago or it could be that this new generation of player is, shall we say, self entitled?

And/or the clubs have become more aggressive with throwing around the cash and going after players

That would be the missing leftie I didn’t ask him for.

We have as much chance of getting Lachie Weller as the Suns have of getting Charlie Cameron. Read the play, these deals are already done.

Dockers have put the price on Weller .... pick 2!

think it worked best when it was 5 days + the Monday of the following week

Plenty of trades happened since the AFL has been a league.

Just look through the years and in fact it was probably worse considering a lot of trades the past few years have just involved draft picks only which was unheard of 20+ years go.

Not according to Fremantle.

There was 39 trades last year. I think 11 days is about right.

 

[MacMum]

Heard Huddo this arvo say to someone who said not much was happening, that it was busy behind the scenes, always is......players going for check-ups with different clubs, inspecting facilities etc........said all that takes time, particularly if they have to go interstate for the interviews and stuff.

 

[Scubaveg]

Dondongo is a gelding and they have a great record in The Cup.

I think you’ll find fillies are far more successful on cup day.

Dodongo is soon to be a rig (technical term for horse with 1 testicle)

One descended testicle.

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo isn't a gelding yet. Dodongo may be 1/2 gelding AKA rig by the weekend though.

 

[DanT7]

How can we lose when we haven't even played yet?

Worst case scenario:
Won't get Cameron.
Will lose Schache for nothing worthwhile.
Won't offload Bell, Close, Paparone, Bewick or Frost.
Might get Lobbe.
Won't upgrade our picks to where there are decent mids.
Won't trade in any 2018 picks.

Most of the ones I have backed end up falling over.
