Traded Devon Smith [traded to Essendon]

[boncer34]

Dodo if you're reading this Richmond fans think Colyer is a good player.

Nah we trade him we **** our cap.

I’ll put it this way. When you already have a great forward line and get eliminated and smashed week 1 of finals and bullied on the inside to your midfielders. Adding 1 forward is fine but adding 2 on large coin doesn’t address the problems that you had to begin with. Your forward line is already good

are they just forwards are they? Interesting

 

[boncer34]

Giants must hate Devon right now. Essendon are ****ing ******ed to deal with. Pick 28 for an all Australian in stringer??????? Hahaha yet they wanted pick 4 for Carlisle not so long ago.

Pick 5.

And we got it.

Who has said anything about paying them large coin?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Fair call, though Rockliff or Kennedy should have been on your radar big time.

Kennedy probably was, but we aren't going to get everyone

 

[HumanMeatball]

"just wait".

There it is folks. If you can't address the most glaring need on your list you should cease trying to improve other parts of your list.

List management 101

We aren’t talk about the draft where you may take best available over more important needs. Both players are going to get 600k+ and in doing so potentially harm you addressing major more critical needs in the future

Essendon haven’t addressed a single issue there team has at all. Stringer and smith aren’t exactly tough grunt mids

that's crap mate, Essendon has had a controversy free 12 months now. Stringer fixes that straight away.

North took the cake this year with "cant attract players"

Considering Essendon are two years ahead of us in the cycle and demand from every single club is exceeding supply on the available market, not a shock.

imagine if we were so ****ed to deal with we threatened the other party with voiding their contract if they didn't accept our offer of a packet of chips

Smith potentially plays midfield but isn’t a hard inside mid. Stringer won’t

Yeah, it's like stalling on pick 19 for an All Australian ruckman and saying Essendon are being difficult

And we got it.

Should be thanking Sydney for that also how did Craig bird go?

Your posts are coming across as more salty than worried about our team needs.

You wanted wingard and wines hahaha just laghable. They didn't want to leave for druggies anyway.

hahaha you guys just recently signed a single guy on more than the figures you have just mentioned.

Pretty sure we're not concerned about paying people what they are worth, and pretty sure that 5-600k x 2 isn't going to break the bank or inhibit future acquisitions

He went shit.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Are they? I didn’t want or think we need either player so definitely not salty. Just can’t see why you’d target 2 very similar players when you have clearly more glaring needs.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Smith potentially plays midfield but isn’t a hard inside mid. Stringer won’t

Merrett can play more inside when we get someone to replace his outside work. Someone like, oh I don't know, a Devon Smith maybe?

McGrath will be a line-breaking inside outside mid. Stringer may be able to play there, may not. We're doing ok. But again, because your most pressing need isn't available it doesn't mean that for some reason you don't address other needs

I know I shouldn't but can you point out where Dodo asked for both of them?

He most certainly did enquire about both but i highly doubt you can find anything about him asking for both.

how the hell can you claim Smith and Stringer are "very similar"? lol

Please don't ignore me.

Going ok in the VFL.

I forgot about him. Thanks, forgot we asked for pick 5 and got pick 5 + player.

Zach and Darcy are gonna get bashed up next year.

Not sure the point your trying to make. Martin is rightfully on what those players earn combined as he is 2 to 3 times the player both are combined

 

[dermott]

Jesus Christ. Dodo involved in up to 3 trades. AFL had better get an extra couple of mediators on standby.

Yep. We all look forward to Dodo adding a bit of theatre to trade week.
