It may have happened 15 years ago, but Dodongo highly doubts clubs will draft a player they know wants to be somewhere else. Times have changed. The draft route is an empty threat. GC won't pick him up either.

I'd say a few more clubs will start to talk to his management. Doubt all the Victorian clubs just happily let him slide to Carlton in the draft, if he nominates.

He chose Carlton. He will get to Carlton in the third or fourth round. Dodongo can't see him changing his mind and when clubs see he him wants to be a blue they won't pick him.

If he nominates the PSD Gold Coast wont reselect him. Keeping players who dont want to be there is counterproductive for them when they are trying to get people to stay and attract players

There will never be another Nick Stevens situation. Dodongo is confident on that
 
I am amazed that Papley didn’t get to the Blues. I thought it was the most straight forward of them all. Has there ever been a trade period with 3 fairly prominent players who have requested for a trade not get to where they want.

Bombers seem convinced they can make Daniher "fall back in love" with Bombers and make him re-sign.

Next minute... pulls out of entire 2020 season with injury and leaves for < half they asked for this year.
 
I could not have got to Sydney quick enough with pick 9 for Papley. They messed up huge.

Yeah, big time. They wanted something back from Sydney as part of the trade that Sydney weren't happy with. How good would he have been in the Carlton forward line with their talls? Contracted for another three years at the Swans. Worth pick 9 alone every day of the week.

I reckon it's a bit more complicated than that now. He may very well end up at Carlton, but I think the other Victorian clubs will do their due diligence and ask the question of his manager. He is from WA, so they too might make a play for him. Jack may even be a bit disgruntled Carlton didn't make a deal happen, who knows? A lot to play out here.

FA next year isn't he. They will only get a compo pick. Certainly won't be getting 2x1sts that they were offered this year

We now have seven draft picks which is too many, so hopefully we can reduce that to 3 or 4 picks. 3 players in, 3 players out.
We have 7 uncontracted players on the primary list, with Big O to be upgraded. 3 category A rookie spots where players can be moved to.
Means probably 3-4 of Keays, Walker, Bundy, Robertson, Skinner, Lester and Lyons are likely to be delisted. Sorry to see any of them go.
 
I think our 3 ins and our draft hand stacks up pretty well with every other team, not a lot of big names got traded this year, a few journeymen among the traded.

It’s funny how you look at WC and Saints picks that remain and for what they brought in. WC’s one trade for Kelly craps all over a burnt out ruck, a speculative KPP (didn’t even know who Dougal Howard was until the trade period), a small forward, an outside midfielder and a looks like Tarzan plays like Jane HBF. I agree with the poster who said it reminds them of our illustrious trade period of ‘09.
