Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 4 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

There were more comments but he deleted them. The blokes a fair dinkum grub having a dig at Gowers on his retirement post.

Dogs fan too!!

I'm no Gowers fan. But that is ****ing horrible behaviour. He left with class and thanked the supporters on his way out. Good on him and as far as I'm concerned he'll always be a Bulldog and a class act.

Mediation is just a process to bring parties together with an independent person controlling the process.

No guarantee on an outcome and there is no way to force an outcome.

If dogs wont take essendon's calls, the druggies will likely call for a mediation, and the dogs would have to go, but could sit in the room and say nothing the whole time - and still satisfy the requirement.

Mediation is only useful when both sides want a deal.

No mediation is required at all. Dunkley is still contracted, if he was out of contract and no deal could be reached, then yes.
But as far as mediation goes, it isn't required as we have "officially" said no we aren't prepared to trade him. "Unofficially" of course we are but the right ridiculous offer has to satisfy that and unless that offer is floated then we don't have to listen, talk or mediate stuffall.

I can’t for the life of me see how the bombers get all these trades done!! It even seems more impossible when you think of their attitude to what they classify as “value” of players. Them MOFOS are going to hold up trade week like the last 3 years and it will come down to who blinks 1st in the last hour ..

 

[Mojorisin]

From Adelaides point of view they have a lot of picks this year at the moment and they would normally only do 4 maybe 5 picks max.

At the moment they have 9 picks 1, 9, 22, 23, 33, 40, 50, 56 and 66 that are worth points, ie swap value. Say they will only use 5 of these on draft night

They would be looking to consolidate these into as many first rounders as possible therefore swapping 22 and 23 with a wink not to pick JUH may be there preference

Dogs may choose to do this deal on draft night once Crows don’t select JUH at #1.

I'd imagine one of 23 or 33 will have to go to bed for hately

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

The game where we beat Geelong at Marvel (Harry Taylor missed shot after siren). Billy went into the midfield in the second half of the game and really swung the match in our direction. He smashed packs, ran his ar5e off and played a really good half of footy.
In that game he was fantastic but particularly that second half when the game was on the line.
I have been a critic since that game, mainly because of what i saw in that game. If he could play like that for a half against the Cats why couldn't he put more of those quarters together. I was always hoping he would but it never happened again and his kicking went completely off the charts in the wrong way.
I hope him all the best going forward he has been a good citizen for the Dogs. He should be proud of what he has personally achieved as a player. It's far more than any of us have ever achieved.

For me it was the North game later in the year. Cordy goes off with a split head and we send Gowers onto Waite. He almost completely shuts him down and also bursts out of defence to get on the end of a handball and launches from 50 out for a goal to give us a 7 point lead. God I loved Billy's 2018, what a season.

Seems like a lot of trades when Dodo takes a week to haggle over one trade. He needs to be relieved of his post and a sensible person needs to be put in charge there.
Trump would be easier to deal with than this bloke. I hear he's unemployed now so maybe it can happen.

Dogs fan too!!

Noticed these poor posts on Gowers IG. I ended up screen shotting and sending through to Dogs Membership email. Unsure if it will do anything. But its absolutely putrid to say what that guy did. Doubt he would be a member though, worth a shot

 

[Dog 36]

It's not up to us to ask. It's up to Dodoro to make us an offer we can't refuse. We'd be silly to set a price because Dodoro will try to lowball us.

totally agree.

Internally you set what you would accept.

Our conversation with Bumbers should be comprising of two words NO and YES

Yes I remember it and I think that in part contributed to us persisting with him. he was an easy target for derision as his bad was really bad but he did have upside

Good call. I'd revoke his membership, if he is one. What a shameful and classless performance by this guy.

Stupid f..wit can just f...off we don’t need scum like that

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Looks like we will doing a deal with Adelaide for picks hope involves them not taking JUH at 1.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I am waiting for the 2 Toms to report it for balance

Don't you just delete and block? I've had that happen...

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

So are these ‘agreements’ actually allowed or is it straying into draft tampering territory?

Then accuses Billy of bullying . Um, remind me again whose page this is?

You legend. I’ve done the same. One of these days a player is going to harm himself based on this garbage. Needs to be stamped out.

Should we have maybe tried Gowers in defense? Like Liam Jones

I know nothing about these things, but is it legal do to this hurtful shit? Can it be a police or private suing matter?

I’d chip in to hire a lawyer and chase the w***er. There need to be more consequences. If you did this stuff in real life there would be violence. Not that I’m condoning violence , I hate it, but I’d love this fella to meet up with Billy in the boxing ring for 3 rounds.

I believe if you put yourself on a PUBLIC forum it’s not illegal to tell someone your opinion as long as you don’t cross a line towards threats, racism, sexism and so on.

I’ve never been on Instagram and never even looked at it but are profiles private or can anyone look at anyone else?

I will NEVER understand why public figures have public profiles unless they have someone controlling the content before they look at them.

Yeah im not sure on the legal side. I dont understand the behaviour, frightening thing is he has two daughters. Guys clearly unhinged and unattached from reality. Billy held himself so well. Lin Jong

also chimed in to call the fella out. Disappointing

 

[OniAu]

Oh thats awesome youve done it also. Yeah i dont get it, definitely needs to be stamped out. As if dealing with the stories through papers from journos arent enough for some players , let alone copping direct abuse on their account.

 

[doggy_dog]

So are these ‘agreements’ actually allowed or is it straying into draft tampering territory?

If it could be proven it might get a bit hairy but it’s almost impossible to prove. It would only really look weird if we had a way better offer for the pick but dealt with Adelaide for unders instead. FWIW I don’t think they bid anyway regardless of any pick swaps

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Immediately delete and block. Do not engage. Should be the rule for everyone, not just footballers.

 

[Bro_Pro]

The crows are trying to build hope to there fan base so I can’t see them biding on JUH at 1 then taking someone else as the “next best” I can’t see it happening.
