2017 trade/draft thread

[Obeanie1]

With all the d4aft predictors and player ratings not many go past pick 25 and none of them have James Warpel in them. A man child inside mid that could still be available at our pick 30 31.

 

[FKASC]

Imagine if we had some absolute inside beasts in the side again.

Remember Daniel Kerr diving headfirst into packs and extracting the pill like his life depended on it?

Also remember how good he was at football?

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Bulldogs not happy with this.

They declined Stringer for 11, why would they take give more and take less than what they declined a few days ago?

Essendon offered 11 for stringer + 26

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Trade 32 and future 2nd to Brissy for 18.

Our second next year is like pick 18 this year so NO on that item.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Port suck the anus, hurry up already and let him walk FFS.

We struggle to attract WA talent.
Over the last two years, Cam McCarthy, Brad Hill, Tom Mitchell, Joel Hamling, Shane Kersten, Jarrod Pickett, Jaeger O'Meara, Harley Bennell and Chris Yarran have requested trades.

We have only lured back Jetta and were never in contention for any of the others.

Not saying we would have wanted all of those players (even if most would have improved our list at the very least), but to not lure any of those players seems terrible on our part. I don't buy the argument that we are better at keeping things quiet and in fact did have a genuine crack at trading them in.

Would love to know if it's the WCE who don't chase these players (in which case, why not?) or are these players rejecting the eagles as an option (and again, why?).

To be honest I don't think we needed, would want many of those players or were even a realistic chance. Bennell has a history that we're trying to run from. Touche Chris Yarran and McArthy. Tom Mitchell is barely west aussie. Brad Hill was never not going to play with Stephen. Kerstens a spud. Hamling we don't need backs. Jaeger has horrid knees. So it's Jarrod Picket really.... but meh as of yet.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Thats Brady Rawlings, he is new to the role and as such I haven't yet lost faith in him.

Now as for our recruiting department headed by Rohan O'Brien I have zero confidence in him, he has an uncanny knack of totally ******* up second round picks and the mere though of giving him two to play with, at the expense of a first rounder scares the living bejesus out of me.

Wow thought the exact same thing

Hopefully SPS (not pepper shaker) wants to come home at some stage.

That kid is going to be absolutely incredible.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I'm happy for Lecras to play home games only, and if in good form away games against top 8 teams, otherwise give him rest. His performance the last few years has been directly related to how fresh he is. Travel kills him.

Yeah because bringing a guy in and out is really good for the team and the player that gets dropped for him. Get over it. There's no room for sentimet in football. Father time catches up with everyone, he needs to go.

Apparently a few clubs have enquired about Lin Jong - would be interested to know if we were one of them. Was one of the Bulldogs' best this season before he did his knee

 

[Suma Magic]

We could do worse than Jong (assuming he is dirt cheap).

 

[bzparkes]

Pick 31 should seal the deal.

 

[Bacchus]

BOOOOOOO!

Must keep 13.

If we want another 2nd rounder trade next years for this years and swap 3rds.

13 this year will land a quality mid who has slid. Clarke or Brayshaw. Kelly and Ryan are early to mid 3rd rounders FFS.

I wasn't saying it was desirable, I was simply pointing out a possible result. Subtle.

Won't happen. Pre draft he stated he wanted to play for a big Melbourne club.

Looking at this reel from the other day I think Brandon Starcevich looks to be the pick of the young west aussies. Seems composed, agressive, 187cm and has a good leap and speed from today's testing too. Hopefully he's there for our second pick at 30 odd. Anyone from East Perth on here know anything else about him?

I got the impression a lack of real polish had him as more of a later pick. I'd hope we secure Kelly first.

He'll still be on the board at our second pick but that would be a reach

 

[bl4ke]

With all the rookie re-signings today but no word about Gorter, can we assume he's getting delisted?

I come in peace. Dogs would be very keen to deal, as such it would definitely be 25+28 instead of 25+30. Aren't we a generous lot

Possible sweeteners may include Colyer. Or Brisbane could come to the party by upgrading either 25 or 28 into 20.

If the result was 13 for 20+28 it's starting to look ok, not sure if it's worth pulling the trigger but it's getting close.

Believe it was already turned down.

We are so silly if we give that fool 2 second round picks we lack elite talent cant give up our first pick under any circumstances not going anywhere with a vanilla rebuild

13 for 20 and 25 and I can endorse this deal on behalf on Bigfooty West Coast International.
