List Mgmt. 2018 Trade, Free Agency & Draft thread

[MaddAdam]

Been saying it for ages. TT is the gun kid from the draft we need. We don't need two, that pick will be worth more to other clubs than us.

There's 6-8 I'd have ahead of TT still right now but it's pretty subjective

Ideally we get a mid like Walsh, Rankine, Ian Hill, jack bytel or bailey smith plus TT

****!

OFF!

heck yes.

Guys, we're getting an absolute gun here.

It’ll be certainly relative to where we finish. If we’re in the 8 we are better served trading our first.

Good one

“Father-sons were there first and maybe they should take priority. But I don’t think we will die in a ditch over it.”

Love it.

 

[Firestarter]

I came back from 3 pages previous. Jon Ralph. Pfft.

 

[Jindrrk]

Why would anyone want our pick 18.....sorry Ralph doesn't make sense.

 

[Jindrrk]

Would only take free agents as free agents

Not worth trading for

Either get Wines for first rounder

Or bring in free agent mids like Sloane, gaff, Dahlhaus

Haven't you said that like 25 times already?

I think you are dead right. I doubt very much we will have to use our first on TT. The champs will tell us a bit more in any case we are in a no lose situation.

Read between the lines Spidey.

When Dilena was quoted:


Did you think he was referring to pick 25-30 (our likely 2nd round pick) being the clincher for a trade deal?

Yes, I understand what Dilena is intimating but then for Ralph to come out as say we've officially put our 1st round pick on the table is stretching the truth for his own self serving purposes.

Everything is for sale at the right price.

Eagles have no first rounder this year? They’d jump at a top 10 pick.

Gaff will be 26 at the start of next season. We’d need some change coming back.

 

[tazaa]

Every AFL recruiter was watching TT over the weekend.

This is all about leverage.
Now TT is not in everyone’s eyes so if we are forced to use our first on him then we are getting screwed again ala West Coast bidding on McDonald.
Trade the first for a gun and take TT, Scott and Crocker with the next three picks.

I reckon this has the hallmarks of Michael McMahon all over it. We’re fighting back

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I wonder if we'd try to tempt GWS with Kelly for this years and next years first rounders.

Just wondering.

The climate is a little different to what it was 9 months ago.

Except our first rounder if we can't get someone else's in the process.

So no but yes.

This is the elephant in the room for mine.

I believe the AFL rules on future trading is that clubs have to make at least 2 first round selections over a 4 year period.

Assuming that Josh would cost 2 x 1st rounders, I suspect we might keep the gun loaded this year unless we have a chance of snaring JK a year early. Or we find a way to get some first rounders in.

MicMac or MicMacs thanks.

No salary cap at Richmond, they'll just get puma to front the cash.

The Western Bulldogs and Luke Dahlhaus have suffered an early hiccup in contract talks
SAM LANDSBERGER, Herald Sun

THE WESTERN Bulldogs are confident of retaining onballer Luke Dahlhaus despite an early hiccup in contract talks.

The Herald Sun understands the Dahlhaus camp is seeking a long-term contract as a reward for his eight years of service.

The Bulldogs would prefer to re-sign Dahlhaus on a shorter deal. The two parties have met twice and are yet to seriously discuss the financial component of his next contract.

Dahlhaus, 25, becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season but is a required player at Whitten Oval.

His status means Dahlhaus can walk to another club without the Dogs being given the opportunity to match a rival offer.

The ball magnet recently voiced his strong desire to play out his career at Whitten Oval.

“My manager and the club are still in talks, and it’s going to take a little time to get things done,” Dahlhaus said last month.

“But in saying that, the club is like my family now. I’ve been here eight years and I love it so much, so this is where I want to finish and play for the rest of my days.”

Dahlhaus qualifies for unrestricted free agency as a result of the mega contract Tom Boyd signed.

The Dogs significantly front-ended Dahlhaus’s current deal to accommodate Boyd’s salary.

Dahlhaus’s first year was his richest and he will take home the fewest amount of dollars in 2018.

That means he sits outside the club’s top 25 per cent of money earners this year, earning him unrestricted free agency.

Dahlhaus has traditionally recommitted early in the year but is happy to wait before inking his next deal.

Dahlhaus has not spoken to any other club and the durable midfielder has missed just six games since 2012.

Dahlhaus finished outside the top 10 in last year’s best-and-fairest for the first time since he became a regular in the Bulldogs team.

Dahlhaus made his debut in 2011 and then finished fourth in 2012, sixth in 2013, fourth in 2014 and 2015 and sixth in the 2016 premiership season before taking a tumble last year.

Dahlhaus received one coach’s vote in both the Round 3 and Round 7 wins this year.

The tough midfielder has only kicked 1.3 this season but collected 29 disposals in Saturday’s win against Gold Coast.

Is their anyway we could squeeze the bont out of the dogs? Maybe give them hrovat back and some 6th or 7th rounders I feel like that fair
