The Western Bulldogs right now

I bet they throw the toys out of the cot.
 
Always welcome to read some of the old ones!




The best thing about the old Trade Hypothetical threads was that I didn't have to destroy my limited brain cell collective by reading them to first time around ... hell no to going back for more now!!!

The best thing about the current Dunkley trade impasse is that for us it is just one trade - the them it is two - the currency from Dunkley is needed for the trade with Lobb (and so on to other clubs) so there is a lot more pressure on them to get it done ... and not all of those trades (as far as I know) can all be done in the last hour.

When the bulldogs say they are getting ripped off and we are like...

Sam Docherty - - > pick 33
Elliot Yeo - - > pick 28
 
The term elite gets thrown around too easily these days.
dunkley has been aa squad and looked absolutely awesome in 2019. no reason to think he cant make the AA team as he hits his prime with neale and clug in the same primary midfield unit as different types of players to bring out the best in him

he probably hasnt been elite as such since 2019 but can definitely see him hitting that level again with us. maybe only thing potentially holding him back would be his field kicking

It looks like
- F1, 21 & F2 (geel/lions) for Dunkley and 39
Our points goes from 3621 to 3189

Another option could be to pick swap with say Syd (F2 and 21 for 17 and 37)
Then trade F1 & 17 for Dunkley
We will be 37 points better off (3226)
Also we give the 2 'first' rounders they desperately want.

Why would Sydney want to do that trade? It doesn’t really help them in any meaningful way.

"Elite" is one of those bullshit phrases that gets thrown around too easily. A bit like "gun" (apologies to PattyKwasagun , DevRoboGun and others) is thrown around a bit too cavalier to have any real meaning. To me, one All-Australian squad (!) berth does not suggest "elite" to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm rapt we're getting him onboard, but if I'm making a list a la Sheahan or Robbo, I'm probably choosing at least another 30 players I'd rank above him.
 
Seems a bit suspicious that most of the BIG deals, have not been done as yet.

All down to the last 3 days & most likely the last day. Even if clubs have agreed to trades in principle.

The AFL loves this "nailbiter, down to the wire" approach to the trades, almost like the cliffhanger of the 80's - "Who shot JR"!

Sounds a bit too theatrical doesn't it!
 
The info is we will accept 21 and F1 we may get a garbage third. You screwed as over big time he is worth every bit and more than Tarranto's 12 and 18. He could be the difference of winning the flag next season.
The difference needed for Lions to win the GF is to trade with the Dogs to get one of their umpires ;)

I think Dogs are in for a surprise as Freo in my opinion will play much better poker in Lobb trade. They've done it once already.

Not every season Sam Power is going to get a "Ned Guy" Santa visit.
 
If Adam Cerra had gone to the PSD saying 1 year, I want to get to Carlton... and we had the choice, would you have been mad if we picked him up? For free? Knowing you will either re-sign him or trade him out for a first rounder or two in 12 months? Our board would spend pages talking about how good it would be to steal a gun without giving up picks...

West Coast won't pick him up because they're on the other side of the country? Are you kidding? If they only drafted West Australians they'd be kneecapping themselves. You enter the draft and you go where you're drafted. That's the way it works - it's in the rules for the draft.

Still, PSD is zero chance. Parties will come to an agreement as always.
We aren’t discussing a draftee, it’s a premiership midfielder. The rules of the draft disappear the minute they’re in the system and the guys who prove themselves get a fair say on where they want to end up. We should know as a fan base having been on the end of it many times.

Guys like Dev Rob would be justifiably pissed if their midfield minutes went to a blow in who didn’t even want to be there. On a massive contract too no less. Then 12 months from now we’re without them anyway.

And yes if we picked up Cerra despite him saying he wanted to move to Melbourne I’d be pissed. It’s an idiotic thing to do from a cultural point of view and doesn’t even make that much sense on field either. Having a player as a key cog of your midfield for one year…yeah great.

He's elite mate. You'll be a getting a 30 touch, 6-7 clearance, 6-7 tackle mid if played in the guts full time.
Hopefully, just worry about his kicking but if he’s a contested beast and tackler then doesn’t matter too much
