Opposition supporters coming to troll , you have been warned

Dangerfields dad is "allegedly" involved with Geelong recruiting wise....and does the school ring around to see if they're of good character etc.

Sounds creepy!!

 

[MaxiBont]

Where’s it at though? Would put my money on him leveraging our offer to squeeze everything he can out of the Saints and them having to do it because of overpaying the C graders and trying to be to convince NWM to hang around.

Can’t imagine their cap if they have to pay Wilkie another 200-300k a year

 

[CDBulldog]

Also - happy to keep Khamis - but signs are a eco prefers Croft as a forward. I agree but still think Khamis is a very good third tall. Why is he not playing on VFL GF - too many AFL games?

But let’s say we lose him to Carltank - I would do a swap with Lachie Cowan - good player young in an area of need. Can play smalls and talls. They will likely offer McGovern- decent player but a bit soft and 30. But who else is likely?

Dream - Khamis and JUH for Weitering - in our backline we are a flag chance and he would know it. Pure Lake move.

Most likely for Jamarra is swap for McCartin. I get the concussion but he is a very good FB and at 30 has two years and o bet is dying for a shot and to come home. Preference is for Ballard at GC.

JUH has generational talent and I hope we can get him back on track / but odds are not looking likely - a complete change may be what he needs. Swans have the kind of close culture that could work for him but I want us to get true value.

If JUH is struggling to seperate from the band of dropkicks in Melb what chance does he have in Sydney - the place is literally FULL of them…

Wolkoe negotiationing with saints . The longer it goes the better our chances of him saying f%ck it i am out.

 

[Dogman 1]

Should be asking the question of Jamie Eliott as well. Would be good get as our small forward.

Even if he does, he's contracted and I can't see why St Kilda would trade him

Wilkie seems like too much of a professional to drop tools and play half-assed

 

[dergert]

Budarick is off to Brisbane.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Before getting into Cotton On, Morris Finance and Warralily conspiracies in what world do the Cats have the trade capital to obtain Marshall and Curnow who both have years left on their deals?

 

[Munnez]

Budarick is off to Brisbane.

AFL has made a juggernaut out of Brisbane

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

So who is Brisbane delisting g or trading out to fit all these players in?

Considering St Kilda are paying $1.7million for their new ruck, I can‘t imagine they‘ll be asking for a lot to take Marshall off their hands

 

[Dogs Rule]

It is going to be hard.to go past the cats. Lions and Hawks next season if the following happen.

Cats get Marshall. Curnow
Lions ger Draper, Allan and Ridley. Plus a star Academy and had a lot injuries this season.
Hawks. Merritt and Day back from injury.

I am fairly bullish about us next season with some good trades but doubt we can beat the above teams if the predicted trades come off.

You've just outlined why top 4, hell make it top 8 sides should be excluded from recruiting free agents and significantly restricted from trading.

But who are we kidding? This is the AFL where fairness and equalisation are just meaningless words designed to keep fans of the 'lower' clubs buying their
memberships every year in the vain hope their club might win a flag one day.

If all the moves you suggest above come off, then the other clubs should just start flat out rorting the salary cap. Dodgy deals for all.

 

[adogsfan5]

Highly doubt the saints are gonna say no to an extra 200-300 to Wilkie if that’s what he’s asking for.

I’m hoping the sell is closer to a flag.

It’s not the 90s now it’ll be done for a 2nd rounder and won’t involve any players like 99% of trades since FA

 

[perro_loco]

Yep and if the AFL want it to become the EPL then just come out and tell us and stop with all this crap about fairness and equalisation.

Sell the Doggies to an Arab Sheik or a Russian oligarch, or to Elon Musk or other billionaire?

 

[perro_loco]

Yeah but running patterns!

Also Mannagh and Miers are absolute elite ball users while Close is handy too. I keep saying it but our entire off seasons philosophy needs to be relentless pressure in all aspects of the game. You don’t bring pressure like your life depends on it you won’t play.

Good point. I would also add good quality tackling.

 

[grassman75]

But is Mr Dangerfield really worth his 500k per annum price tag for talking to kids?

Just asking questions fellas.

He also supplies bait to the local caravan parks and services boat engines

Didn't you hear? They all play for the love of the game down there.

C4 said a few months ago Archie Perkins was looking at moving. He’s really quick and athletic, and hits the scoreboard, if he were happy to play a Vandermeer/McNeil role he’d be a huge upgrade on them.

TBH, it's not a high bar.

We are the Oakland As v The Yankees

If that doesn’t say to the afl that instead of changing F/s they need to change academies, priority picks and free agency

Feel like it’s going to be a boring few years with the same teams over and over

 

[grassman75]

Budarick is off to Brisbane.

Is their list 60 players or something?

 

[TiAn_]

TBH, it's not a high bar.

Exactly. May as well get someone that also has natural talent in that role.

Not sure why but made me think of this.

 

[adogsfan5]

Not true. I had it 100% from the horses mouth literally last night. Not over at all. Unlikely but not over. The longer it goes better our chances. Cant divulge how i know but my direct source is 100%. Anyone saying otherwise as of now doesn't know the true story.

Let’s talk more about this…
