2018 Trade and FA thread (opposition supporters post in Trade Hypotheticals thread)

[Lionmoe21]

I'd rather Bulldogs 2019 first over Collingwood

 

[Jivlain]

Waking up to our future first being out somewhat befuddled me, but I've definitely come around to it. Gets us out of a trap, decouples Neale/Beams, and Gold Coast's future second is a big in. Now all we need to do is nail that part of the season that comes before the trade and draft period and we'll be set.

 

[Lazza16]

Hunt? Imagine him and Cox off HB. Add in Bailey.

That lot would take some stopping.

Saw a bit of Hunt playing for Casey....looked pretty ordinary which is probably y he didn't get back in the ones. He may have been pissed off....not sure.

We'll be well positioned to trade up next season if we want to

Who's a year out from FA next year?

 

[Lazza16]

w

Bulldogs get a third rounder for us, upgrade to collingwoods first pick, we get a Bulldogs second, collingwoods future first and Adams and Collingwood get Beams, Roughead and a third this year?

will Oxley.........our missing hbf.....be included?

 

[jjami15]

This is going to somehow mean no 2 first rounders.

Not happy Jan!

 

[Clarkythelion]

We are still in the positive position, if it's not in our favour we don't do the deal. Adams is a 'nice to have' not and absolute need and I'd argue Payne will overtake him in 2 years.

Should we start the Stephen Coniglio picks the Lions thread now

 

[Hollow Knight]

Good to see GWS standing up to Essendon.

 

[Antman78]

Maybe we’re after pick 7 from the dog’s?

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Dont think we need it.

Noble said he's happy with second round picks as the talent of this draft runs deep

 

[Clarkythelion]

What has Collingwood got to sell the Bulldogs in players?

 

[davemc_lions]

Although they rolled over on almost everything else..

 

[Fagenslions36]

So John Ralph reckons Paul connors went to Brisbane saying pies have salary cap issues will we pay a portion
Of beams salary for the next to years what a flog . Heavily front loaded
Contract for 4 years. Glad lions basically laughed at it .

 

[Clarkythelion]

Whats Josh Thomas worth to the Bulldogs to replace Dahlhaus?

[Milux]

Lol at Connors asking us to pay some salary next year. Duck that.

 

[Dylan12]

God I hope Essendon stuff up this Shiel trade just for the laughs.

So Bombers fans we um forgot to do anything at the trades and um sorry we had a guy who wanted to come
but you know um we sort of forgot

 

[spotthedog1]

We aren't at a salary cap squeeze. I'm fine with us paying a portion of Beams' salary. But we'll be compensated in draft picks. Overs on top of our overs. That's what it'll take.

 

[Milux]

Surely we cant bundle up marcus Adams in the beams deal. * I feel like im going to melt.

both firsts and we pay half $ and suck on loosing your NGA kids cannot have it all

The club's list management strategy is planned years in advance and we don't know who or what they have on their radar next year. Maybe, just maybe, there is logic to us giving up next year's first round and getting in a second round. Maybe we will use it to bid on Lachlan Johnson (son of Chris) or an academy player next year, maybe not.

As far as next year's picks go, at the moment, based on this year's finishing positions, we are only one of three clubs that have two picks in the top 22 and three picks in next year's top 40. It's not as bad as some suggest.

If nothing else, this trade period has clearly shown that the picks we start with prior to the trade period will not be the picks that we take to the draft.

Club's list management strategy also isn't set in stone. Needs flexibility. From what I'm hearing, we were surprised to be nominated by Marcus Adams.

We are one of three clubs that have two picks in the top 22 and three picks in next year's top 40. We are also not one of the 9 clubs that have a pick in next year's the top 10...
