Recruiting Trade & Free Agency V

[HirdsTheWord]

That is a very good deal.

yes it is. I think dodo has called dogs bluff massively.

They either do a trade now for 2 second rounders or he stays with them essentially.

 

[JayJ20]

We can't trade 24 and 29 for 17 alone. Too large a points gap. We'd need to bring in pick 54.

And that would be overs for Saad.

Ah yes.

It'll be pretty tough for us to land all three.

 

[Mootsy]

So trade week is essentially a game of chess..

 

[boncer34]

Just got confirmation all 3 will be done today. Huge relief

Is it to early to yell April Fools?

If Motlop leaves Geelong they could shoot the late first they probably get for him to Doggies. If you listened to Geelongs list manager on Trade Radio yesterday he basically said they wouldn’t pursue Stringer with 20 because it wouldn’t be enough, but if they got a pick for Motlop that may change their stance...

I’ve been in a meeting for 90 mins. WTF just happened?

What the hell are you doing accepting 90 minute meetings during trade week? That's poor governance

 

[TheGrizz]

So trade week is essentially a game of chess..

Nope.

Poker.

 

[Fozdog]

Well done Bombers... Smith had to be priority #1.

He was the only one out of contract. Now we can focus on Stringer and Saad gets whatever is left. I reckon Dodoro would not have traded that first rounder without a full plan in place for all 3.
Just goes to show you NONE of the media had any idea this was going to happen today and what the deal consisted of.

 

[dnbassador]

The points gap doesnt matter if they include a player.... Anthony Miles anyone?

Smith, Saad, Stringer and Miles imagine that

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Oh yeah. Melbourne gave up a mint as well as the farm.

Just read about it - they basically paid 2 firsts. That is nuts.

 

[eth-dog]

No. Jayden Short please.

IT WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE I COULDN’T SHIFT.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Marry me Dodoro

 

[TheBrightSide]

So trade week is essentially a game of chess..

It's a complex dance.

 

[caboose]

Yep. The muppets were even specifically making up stories last night that Smith's move to Essendon was in grave doubt, as the likes of Carltank circled.

Now the fools have had to hastily move on to inventing/inserting Saad's name into those stories.

 

[Mootsy]

Dodo has done a good deal

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Surely that doesn’t come out till we have all 3?

 

[Mootsy]

too early

 

[McKennabomber]

Sorry if someone said it but does carlton have the currency to make a better deal for Saad? I know they have Kennedy to get done.

 

[Lore]

Sorry if someone said it but does carlton have the currency to make a better deal for Saad? I know they have Kennedy to get done.

They have 3, 39 and next year's picks. So they don't have a second rounder unless they use next year's and their first is too high.

 

[MightyDons4]

Saad didn't nominate Carlton and we have 4 2nd round picks now. He'll get here just fine.

 

[Since 2001]

Bulldog fans getting salty on tge jake stringer thread. hahaha

Hope you guys screw em.

Hate the dogs cant stand em

They could get a first and second from Adelaide if they trade Gibbs which gives them picks to play with..

 

[Doss]

Oh, hai Devon.

Makes some of the teeth gnashing yesterday seem a little silly!
