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

[Optimistic Dog]

Get him in asap.

Waiting a year means we waste one more Bont prime year.

Love Butters but not if we need to sell the farm to get him.

 

[grassman75]

Keep hearing Butters this year could still be on

Ill melt

 

[grassman75]

They have a rule that no one gets paid more than Selwood. Now that Selwood is off the payroll they are all pro bono employees.

Now it’s no one gets paid more that Jezza, Smith, Danger, Holmes, Stewart

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

What would be good about Butters this year is Hawks are tied up with Merritt and Cats with Curnow and a few others.

 

[grassman75]

It could be worse than Brownlow night with trade week…and to the Bulldogs we have Butt….Jordan Butts….we will be hanging on Zac

 

[DueWest]

if we pay Wilkie 1.2mill surely we aint got room for butters as well.

I don't want Wilkie at that money don't think he will help to much with our structure. give me butts and butters

Don’t want JUH on $900 and not playing, Wilkie seems good value to me.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Don’t want JUH on $900 and not playing, Wilkie seems good value to me.

Yep $900 is about right for Ugle Hagan both for this years output and as a payout for next year then

 

[go the dogs]

Given what we have already taken off our cap with Macrae and Daniel, we have plenty of cap space, particularly if JUH is not on our books

How would everyone think our cap is looking i will have a rough guess at our 10 highest paid players curious to see what people think.

Bont 1.4
Richards 1
Naughton & English 900
JUH & Darcy 850
Dale 800

i would think they are our clear top 7 obviously Marra will be off that. Our next 3 i would guess quite tough

Weightman & Libba 700
Maybe Lobb 650

That's a Geelong thing

Don’t reckon Libba is on 700. I’m sure he would be a taking the Geelong route of no one getting over 150k bar Bont kinda guy. One year deals at 450-500k is still pretty good money for an old bloke

 

[grassman75]

That's a Geelong thing

They don’t sell it, they just give it

 

[Golden_6]

My feeling is that we have astronomical cap room, possibly enough to bring in 2 1 million dollar players.

This is obviously only the case if we can move on the $900k Jamarra is owed next year.

Bont, Darcy, Richards, Naughton & English would be the only guys on $800k+ next season I’d say. Dale might be on $700k or so.

I actually can’t see anyone else commanding more than $600k on our list unless we’re giving someone like Libba extra cash while we have room to do so.

 

[Shacf501]

Im still worried about our small forward position... I know we want to improve our defence but we are certainly lacking up forward in the small man division. Based on statistics on the afl website we certainly struggle in this area!

VDM and McNeill are only getting games as we have no other option. How VDM got a 3 year contract based of his stats for this year is surprising, the guy rates below average in kicks, TACKLES, and goals and rates only average in the 3 other indicators.

I'm not sure of McNeills contract status but likewise he rates BELOW average in 4 indicators and his best rating is only average! He has started sub in more games than VDM so I guess its hard to compare as VDM has had the opportunity to play more minutes

I know we are putting faith in Arty jones, but in the 4 games he played this year he is rated below average in each indicator. Though, I'm guessing he started sub in most of these games.

Are we convinced Weightman can come back fitter and better?

 

[JTCWBFC]

can’t see us having draft capital to land butters and Wilkie would have to part with a player or 2

100% agree with this.

Arty looked good but who knows, Dolan still young and Weightman an unknown after a year out.

Gut feeling says we get Jordan B.

Great news. Welcome back to the kennel Jordan Boyd

According to the Hun earlier this year our players in the top 100 salaries for 2025 were:

Jamarra - $800-900k
Treloar - $900k-1M
English - $1M-1.1M
Naughton - $1M-1.1M
Bont - $1M-1.1M

My guess for next year would be Richards and Dale joint them, while Treloar drops out and Jamarra potentially leaves.

back to the Kennell.
Making a potential backline next year of Moore Young Butts.

 

[Zgope1]

Keep hearing Butters this year could still be on

Smiley Boy feeding the chooks

 

[VitalDread]

Blues Pick 10 up for grabs

Don't see Dogs having the balls to try and get it sadly

 

[Dale4captain]

Blues Pick 10 up for grabs

Don't see Dogs having the balls to try and get it sadly

10 for Flanders seems relatively even ground if the Blues are keen on him. It’ll be more like 13-15 after the bids and compo picks.

 

[Foxman98]

Blues Pick 10 up for grabs

Don't see Dogs having the balls to try and get it sadly

We will need points for next year which they are seemingly getting stricter on instead of getting rid of

 

[CDBulldog]

Love Butters but not if we need to sell the farm to get him.

Why sell the farm. We need to learn from Geelong and gift him the farm!!!!

 

[adogsfan5]

I think port need to rebuild. May as well trade him now.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Blues Pick 10 up for grabs

Don't see Dogs having the balls to try and get it sadly

I think the fact both the Blues and Dockers are shopping their 1st rounders tells us plenty about how teams view this draft.
