As much shit as we've given Dodo over the past two weeks, that man has destroyed everyone this trade period. Beast.

Identified his targets early, didn't overpay for any of them AT ALL.

I'd enjoy having him sit at the trade table for us if we're looking at this year as evidence.
He got a bit lucky that one of the clubs were willing to way overpay for a first round pick. Later picks don't mean as much to GWS. Any other club would have played harder on that deal.

Can't see it staying like this.
Yes that's what the experts like Lloydy, kingy and Luffy are saying!

Seriously I think one of the advantages is that it stands up in finals under finals pressure. Its been awhile since a key marking forward has dominated a GF or even a Finals series and part of reason I believe is the increased pressure in the game.

Constructive criticism is healthy. Criticising the club for a trade which has yet to be done is stupid.
So it's too early to be complaining that we haven't traded for Lynch during next years trade period ???

Bugger all chance our forward line kicks scores.. couldn't last year with jake.. now it's arguably gone backwards
Jaks wasn't doing all that much in the latter parts of 2016 either and it didn't stop us.
our problem in 2017 was that our smaller forwards were off their game through injury, poor form hangover or both.

Maybe, maybe not.
Many times I have heard about winners at Trade time only for it to turn out to be a loser later.
If you look at the three players they targeted they each have potential busts on them as well, Devon Simth (knee and tank), Saad (pressure, he has been playing half back for the lowest pressure team in the comp) and Jake (is he the new Doc Wheildon?).
Many were quick to say GWS were winners when Griffen left us but I wonder how they felt of GF day 2016?

I just know I will feel sick once I hear the Jake deal go through.

Keep Him that's what the club said if a deal did not respect us and Jake.

Dealing with Bumbers you are shown no respect.

Jake is not a player that can be replaced however he hasn't done much for two years. A fit Dickson , Redpath, and four or five others who are prepared to do team things and we're already ahead.

FF: Dickson Boyd Daniel
HF: Dale Redpath Dahlhaus/Mclean/Crameri

And for those who continue to say Adams will go forward please get a clue!
