Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 2 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[JTCWBFC]

I wouldnt be against getting Gray and Butler. Both could kick 20-25 and gives some competition for small forward spots.

 

[VitalDread]

How?

Swans get pick 9 for Papley and trade 9 for 13

Then flipped for Daniher

 

[Braybrook Son]

Adelaide should give us Keith in good faith that we gave them 2 flags in 97 and 98. Ungrateful pricks

 

[texas_ranger]

I can't imagine someone would stick around at a team who actively chose not to put him into surgery for a stress fracture while the two teams that were interested in recruiting him told him to go the Crows and get surgery.

Can you please elaborate on your clearly extensive medical background?? Many players have continued to play with this injury all depends on a medical staffs protocol in regard to the injury. Now I haven't seen the scans myself but almost all stress fractures can be conservatively managed without surgical intervention.

I am missing something there. What do we give the Swans In addition to pick#13?

And who do you want at #9?

 

[Braybrook Son]

Reckon Keath costs 45 and Bruce costs 32 + 51/53.

Unfortunately takes us out of the running for a couple of players I would have loved around the mid to late 2nd round mark but leaves us with 13, a late 3rd and a pick at the end of the draft which may just be used to upgrade a rookie.

Nothing magical but a good solid trade period plugging the most obvious holes on our list. 2020 will be an exciting year.

Why don’t we trade some dead wood players for some more picks?

 

[TommyD13]

I think we should. Trouble is they are those picks wont help make any inroads

Differing medical opinions happen all the time.

I'd call putting a guy with stress fractures in his leg on a running program, past the realm of difference of medical opinion and into down right ****ing stupid.

Unlike the ignorant, unqualified Doggies riff riff who post here, I am a fully qualified gynaecologist.

Or at least I was, until I was struck off after a series of complaints from smoking hot brunettes who claimed that I performed full body examinations after they came in with a cough. Everyone knows coughs can be dangerous and should be fully investigated.

Now I have not seen pics of Keath but if he is a smoking hot brunette with a cough, I can answer your medical questions on behalf of this Doggies Board.

Um yeah, don’t think the Crows have been gold standard when it comes to looking after the welfare of their players of late...

No wonder they’re crawling over each other to get out of the joint.

Feels like one of those weak bluffs where you know nobody's gonna fall for it but you feel you gotta give it a go anyway

Yeah they played their cards really early by getting a number of players to nominate them along with basically publicly talking about how they're gonna go hard on the other King.

As someone who has been treated conservatively for shin stress fractures, I can tell you it doesn’t involve running. Running and even jogging are out. Hydrotherapy, swimming and strength programs are the go.

Not show what the Crows medical team were thinking clearing him for a running program.... I suspect someone will get fired/sued.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

Really shit news about Keath.
Won’t start running until Feb next year which means virtually no preseason which means he’s likely to have an ordinary season. For as long as I can remember every player talks about interrupted preseasons leading to down years. Keath will be 28, we got him in for immediate results and we are not going to get it next year. Really, really bad news and I don’t blame the Dogs for downgrading his draft value accordingly.

 

[BrisDog]

I don’t want no bloke with a broken leg

I really don’t see how the Saints fans were getting so excited about this interview. I heard it and thought it was pretty weak.

Really feel sorry for Alex. Stress fractures can be really painful and impact on your confidence in your legs. Almost better off giving him a full preseason, while monitoring his legs and maybe have him playing games in July.


I would be surprised if the trade isn’t a late round pick or third pick downgrade.

Pretty average to trade in a guy at that age now knowing he’ll likely not be up and ready until the season has started. We should do the right thing by him but the value is impacted.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Surely knowing this we’ve been pushing hard for Howard.

 

[ossie_21]

If the Keef diagnosis is true, that’s very disappointing the a massive hole in our list that seemed to be getting filled is now just going to potentially be a risk.

13 has to be used towards Howard, bollocks to the draft for another kid

 

[DognBones]

I know we seem to have committed to trading in Keath but if some on here are correct in calling a mid season start to his availability, would we be better off walking away from the deal? For so long now we have identified our greatest need to be a KPD and we need one asap not when a season's half done.
Or, does patience win out over urgency?

 

[mattwa]

Injury seems overblown a bit. 3 months has him back in Jan and I'm sure there are things he can do to keep his fitness base up. Regardless if we have to plug a hole for 4 to 6 weeks we will be fine

 

[Hobdog]

Dogs will get AK cheaper, he’ll have a delayed start and then force his way into the team a bit later. We won’t even be talking about this in January [emoji1360] The club can get him doing all kinds of cross training etc to lessen the impact of not doing a full preseason

You may be right about the seriousness of the injury but I don't accept the idea of plugging a hole and things will be fine. These weeks could be crucial to our fortunes next season especially if the draw pits us against some of the best key forwards in the business. The incumbent KPDs just don't fill me with any confidence.
