Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

Opposition supporters coming to troll , you have been warned

Deven Robertson has chosen West Coast.

Good pick for him
I doubt he plays more than 5-8 games per year with us

Earn that Hungry Jacks cash

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Oh, noes. We missed out of Devon Robertson!

Our fall off is complete.

 

[MaxiBont]

Robertson has a way better role at Wrst Coast than here.

Any comments trying to pin this as a recruiting failure are ridiculous

West Coast have been into Dave from a long time should of left Brisbane in 2023

I love this time of year. Multiple players reported as 'linked' to the club, only to see them re-sign or go elsewhere. No matter the quality of the targets, it's a torturous annual tradition.

After 600 odd pages of this thread (since the closure of last year's trade period) discussing potential targets, we'll end up with DFA Sam Frost

Some would of said the same about Jack Gunston 18-24 months ago. Not all things are linear.

Gunston was always more or less maintaining his spot in the best 22 at Brisbane and Hawks though?

is not mucking around

 

[Doggies7]

Cheap depth KPP at either end?

 

[JohnnySteel]

Surprised Cats delisted rookie Patrick Retschko, looked really damaging in the VFL from the games I saw. Only 19. I really liked him in last years draft. Thought he would be a steal for them.

 

[Sentinel]

Steven King is not mucking around

If we think Jamarra's $800k salary for 1 more year is a bit of a noose around our neck, I present to you the Clayton Oliver contract at Melbourne. Arguably the worst contract in AFL history.

Also, called it: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...gs-only-part-4.1245999/page-532#post-75476121

 

[Shacf501]

Nothing to do with the club

Hope not

 

[Doggies7]

Would have played with Sellwood at Peel, could be a Buku replacement...

 

[Shacf501]

don't know much about him... do tell

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Geelong will be all over him now (Oliver) Good keep them busy, and out of Butters way.

 

[VitalDread]

Believe he's got like 5 kids already

Get it done dogs

 

[JohnnySteel]

don't know much about him... do tell

Real utility - has played all over the park. Is an elite runner, good size 186cm - saw him kick some good goals from midfield in the VFL. Plenty to work with.

 

[BigFloppa]

From a Dogs perspective its gonna be a boring trade period, but holy hell it's gonna be an epic trade period in general.

Petracca, Oliver, Merrett, Draper, Curnow, Ugle-Hagan, Allen. Club captains, Norm Smith medallists, Coleman medallists, a lot of big names making moves.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Melbourne are doing what they should've done last year and are burning the boats.

 

[Munnez]

He probably wants to play.

Walks into Eagles midfield only back up for us or HHF to squeeze him into the team

 

[Golden_6]

It made no sense for Robertson to come here. I don’t even know where he’d play in our side other than stuck on a flank or wing where he’s no good.

Brisbane already tried that and it didn’t work.

 

[doggy_dog]

Robertson to West Coast makes complete sense. Goes home, better path to best 23, I imagine more money. Not surprising

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Yeah I’m not sure why we were targeting him, made very little sense from our end

Made no sense from his end. Why would you leave a more successful side because you’re 8th mid in line to be at the same position at a less successful club

Playing for West Coast is a bleak prospect right now but it should at least give him an opportunity to get a decent run of games in his preferred position and see if he’s good enough to make the grade

Haha c’mon get a grip mate, Robertson is a Riley Garcia level player

You can’t bring in two first round picks or Adam Treloar every year

Made sense from our end,

Our midfield for most of the year in the 2s was Scott Crofts Craig-Peters none of those 3 are currently on our list

 

[Philthy1]

Delisted two-club player flags next career move

Liam Jones was let go after 205 games, following multiple stints at the Western Bulldogs and Carlton.

www.zerohanger.com

Think I would have kept him on for another year.

Problem is that Walker is a defender but couldn’t get a game as a defender in the VFL because of how strong the backs line up was.

If Gardy had been out of contract he may have been the one to go and Jones kept on, but really only as a break glass option.

Best to move on as he did look like he had slowed down even at VFL level.
