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

[_Mike_]

Opposition supporters coming to troll , you have been warned

 

[Sparkles Buttercup]

Going by Twomey looks like cats are all in on Curnow

Not nearly enough for Curnow. It’s essentially 3 early second round picks by the time academies and the devils into play. They need to find a top 5 pick to make it worthwhile for Carlton

 

[BigFloppa]

It's a terrible outcome for the rest of the league if Geelong get Curnow. They'll never stop being good, will they?

Won't matter if they can't get it down there. They are looking thin in the mid

Must be the same thing opposition fans are thinking about our pursuit of Zak Jones

 

[Bonti 5416]

Obviously Dogs are focused on JUH atm and finding a KPD.

The onus is squarely on Carlton.
Buku is contracted, in a position that we are pretty light on for depth. There is literally no reason for us to trade him unless its a decent pick back.

Does the Butters-Bombers golf stuff make us nervous at all?

Nof really, his manager also manages Durham so it would at the least be selling Butters by meeting with their top young gun

They don't want picks, they want players. They also have Cody Walker next year to pick up so the likely hood of a top 5 pick might not be worth it for them next year and a top 5 pick this year is useless for them.

 

[Mofra]

Who though? Be realistic. All the good ones are already contracted, many teams lack quality defenders, its a very weak pool league wide. Wilkie and Butts were the only two probable names that floated up this offseason, and Wilkie thought about it, and Butts never really eventuated beyond asking. And no, fringe VFL level players and intercept defenders which we have plenty of don't count. A genuine man on man type that will free up Buss, Lobb and JOD to play to their strengths. Easy to pot the club when the hands are pretty tied on whom we can bring in.

I would have preferred Tylar Young to either Butts or Wilkie.
It's looking like we've dropped the ball in a position of dire need.

 

[adogsfan5]

I recommend those who think a key defender will fix our defensive issues, listen to this.

Spot on. Been saying this for ages. Add Harris Andrews to our side this year and we’ll still leak goals galore. It’s on the coaches now also.

Or was Butters selling the Dogs to Durham? He can come too.

 

[Doggies7]

Cats offering their future 1sts is a pretty decent sign they aren't targeting Butters or don't believe they can get him.

Maybe Butters has told them thanks but no thanks wishful thinking on my part

 

[Bulldogs85]

 

[Testekill]

Do it before the draft and no reason not to use it on CCP.

 

[Doggies7]

Finally, a good AFL initiative. I like it.

 

[Pep_x]

Here we go!!!

They’re manifesting something, let them cook

We don't seem to be doing anything

 

[Optimistic Dog]

As much as I dislike the cats you got to hand it to them. They always land who they go after. Looks like they move SDK on and pickup Marshall and Curnow after getting Smith last season. Whilst we miss on Wilkie and dream about Butters.

What do we lack balls, Cotton On, the beach/coast life style or the right people to get it done. Not sure but it is sure is frustrating. After the trade is over we would have lost ground on a number of clubs who made finals mainly the lions, cats and GWS.

I know is not optimistic, but it is going to happen.

I meant user pep_x, not our list management team haha

Actually hadn't thought of this. Maybe we do want this to happen, it completely takes them out of the Butters race (as the closet to his home/family).

Leek’s manager absolutely teeing off on the Saints. Pretty embarrassing.
