Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

What makes you say that?

Clearly can’t say, but it’s not a pipe dream like Saints fans will try make you believe.

Wilkie is definitely on. Think it’s about 60/40 saints way. Think we’ll up our offer to make him our second highest paid player behind Bont and that’ll make it an even higher chance.

I've got direct access to Wilkie's inner monologue and I can tell you that since he enjoyed some delicious home-made quesadilla's with Mission tortillas for dinner, he's now at about 48% Dogs, 50% Saints and 2% retiring and moving to Mexico.

Btw, is there a more embarrassing bunch of supporters than Saints? Amazing how they can brag about stealing other clubs players and gloat about it, but now clubs target Wilkie and Marshall it’s full toys out of the cot.

For the most unsuccessful team in modern times they sure do act entitled.

For the most unsuccessful team of all time...

FTFY.
No "premierships" pre 1897 in the original VFA, scraped in by 1pt on the back of an armchair ride from umpires in 1966. And... that's it!

Most wooden spoons.

Lost GFs in 1913, 1965, 1971, 1997, 2009, 2010 (plus draw). Could have had 7 flags...

Do we think if we got Wilkie and or Butts Bevo would change his strategy of pushing everyone up and turnovers are easily punsihed ? Is he doing it because we dont have the right cattle down back or will he do it still reagrdless of who we bring in ?

Their fantasy lists of our players that we would definitely have to give up in a trade due to the unprecedented value of Callum Wilkie are so good. It’s been nice knowing you Bont, but off ya trot.

In 2024 we conceded the least amount of points over the season.
In 2025 we scored the most amount of points over the season.

2026 we strike a better balance of 2024 and 2025 and we are right in it.

Jimmies have been seriously rustled over there. I know aberrant and unrelenting failure for more than a century will break anyone's mind, but their LM thread is like a meth-induced fever dream. The last I read it was Darcy and Richards and 2 firsts as a starting point.

Picken looks like he’s joined the cosplay set, jousting on the weekends inbetween epic sessions of dungeons and dragons. Who would think from this photo that he played AFL??!!! Legend!

He gave his all for the bulldogs. He set the example, the bar for determination, guts and self sacrifice for the younger gen that won the flag. Wasnt the only one, but one of my all time favourite bulldogs.

 

[the conch]

Would May be going to Saints, Wilkie to Dogs, and Dogs 1st to Saints and Dogs F3 to Melbourne? Hopefully that's the extent of Dogs involvement with May?

May to the Dogs, like Lake to Hawks = flag?
Is he the sort of backman we need?
Just one good year. ?

Should let Jamarra move in with him as well.

The “you didn’t make finals” one is my favourite.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

If the lions, hawks and cats get the players that are linked to them you can forget being in contention for the flag next season.

Brisbane - Draper? Lol

Geelong would have to be longish odds for Curnow

Dawks - Merrett will definitely help


Injuries happen and development happens. Far too early to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater

North Melbourne supporters say (in unison) - hold my beer!!

It’s very interesting though
How does Geelong get Marshall, Worpel and Curnow done

Think Gold Coast would be better positioned than every other club for Curnow

What happens with Petracca.. St Kilda bound to? haha

Especially if Flanders chooses Blues.

I believe that if we happen to get both Wilkie and butts we may just quietly win trade week, finally!

When are exit meetings expected?

Reading between the quotes he's made on various "Footy Shows" over the past 18 months. that has always been Beveridge's stance. That we didn't have the right utilities required for the team to execute the plan he envisions.

This year was a soft test. Can Lobb maintain his form? How fast is JOD developing? They've got their answers and are now going hard at the weakness.

Bringing in Butts and Wilkie will make maintaining his beloved high press more feasible. But it will never be fool proof.

 

[FoochPackage]

Lobb can play his intercept role JOD and Wilkie can both play small and are good users

JOD is not a good user.
