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

[Bald Headed Flog]

Second round pick I reckon.

With how shit this draft is rated, and how compromised it is, I think we’d need a sweetener on top. 2nd + 3rd, or two 2nd with 3rd in return

These days, the 2nd round tends to go from pick 25 - 45, instead of the 19-36 it’s supposed to be. Picks aren’t worth what they used to be

The Bulldogs now have an official offer infront of Butts.

Positive news on Butts makes my pp go heyyyyyy

 

[grassman75]

Little talks of Melbourne reaching out to Liam Jones

Jones swap for May…….

It'd be:

28 + F2 for Butts F3 for mine

 

[CDBulldog]

Saints board saying Naughton + our 1st or Sanders + our 1st

We may as well go all in - Naughton and Sanders plus our first!!!! Hell, we might even throw in the steak knives as well!

Yeah, I think that’s probably right in the end if it happens. He isn’t out of contract and we might be desperate by then.

What'd Scrag say?

"What‘d Scrag say?"

 

[Struggle]

Wouldn't come close to Keath, Bruce and Gardner.

Markovic Austin and Tom Young was an all time trio

Curnows preference is Geelong.

Absolutely sickening. Blues need to hold firm and deal with clubs with good picks (at the very least).

Those pricks are determined to never bottom out aren't they.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Wilkie Butts JOD
Dale Lobb Cleary

I like it

I feel that is a little top heavy. To me it will be Wilkie and Butts doing the 1-2 man on man stuff. It will allow one of Lobb or JOD to play the loose man interceptor.

Those pricks are determined to never bottom out aren't they.

Sadly so. If they add Curnow, they are set in the forward line for the foreseeable future. Have some decent young key defenders, midfield has some solid players, and they may end up adding Marshall as well.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

2 deals are separate so no reason to lose ground on Butts also going for Wilkie

Similar to Hawks with Battle and Barrass

Don’t be surprised if we’re going for both Wilkie and Butts. Have heard that we are making further inquiries with Butts management.

Yeah we could easily accommodate both. Wilkie can play small and medium.

Geez, just think how many more bullsh*t free kicks Geelong would get with Curnow landing there!

It’s what he didn’t

 

[Chalky White]

I reckon Gallagher is the exact type of player bf posters underrate when they’re developing. I believe in the kid.

Captain Turnover

 

[TheSportingEyes]

The Bulldogs now have an official offer infront of Butts.

Tremendous. Will be expensive and might cost 2 2nd rounders but surely we have to go for him. 25 years old, 80 plus games and about to enter his peak.

 

[cleveland]

Captain Turnover

I used to call Boyd captain clanger

 

[Pencil case]

Yes, as an armchair/backseat bigfooty pretend list manager, I would do Sanders and a first for Wilkie in a heartbeat.

more like Sanders for Wilkie and a first - still yuck.

 

[Mojorisin]

Although the report is that we will shift all of our focus to Bergman now that Butters is likely staying put for one more year and Rowell has re-signed I'm being told that isn't entirely true. We still have strong interest in Bergman ( about 4th in line though) but we are also now HEAVILY targeting Zac Bailey who like Butters has one year on his contract before becoming a free agent.

Re-sharing this post from June before the media link us to Bailey.

I thought I remember you mentioning we were after Bailey, yet there’s been zero talk. Any idea how likely that is?

 

[Mojorisin]

Next to zero chance Lions let him go, but will become a talking point with Carlton and Essendon also interested. If he were to leave it'd be as a free agent like Butters.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

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.

What makes you say that?

 

[seaweed]

Steven May has parted ways with Melbourne ... have a feeling you're involved

The only reason I’d be happy if we were to ever entertain this is that I’d be able to get a lot of use out of my favourite meme

 

[MrChristo]

That's assuming we don't cop injuries which we almost certainly will.

I think that's being forgotten here. Not just any injuries, but Lobb himself.

We all knew about his ribs. He copped massive knocks 3-4 weeks in a row and was clearly struggling in the last couple of weeks.

There was one goal in that 2Q run of Freo's where he simply could not bend down to kill a ground ball. 15 weeks of the season he would have tapped it oob and we regroup.

It was likely a reason that he played more 1-1. Being that loose floater with bruised ribs is more about actual long term damage than being brave.
