Game Day 2022 Trade Period Match Thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

Thanks for making this an awesome trade period peeps. Will be locking this thread later tonight

 

[Joao]

Can I just say, the Dogs trade thread is WAY better than the Dees. The Dees were a bit bitter and angry; the Dogs are hilarious (like actual LOL). What makes it more impressive is that we are trying to bend them way further over with Lobb than we did with Jackson. Kudos.

 

[Taylor]

What do the Bulldogs currently have for 2023?

All four rounds. All their own picks

The Dogs fans are equally not interested in paying for Lobb as Freo fans are about making them overpay for him due to the contract.

One group of fans could be really upset by the end of this. Both content walking away.

If the Dogs footy department have assured Young/Lobb it will get done because they really, really want him - it's Weller territory.

 

[Sweetback]

Straight swap for Dunkley. Get Bob on the conference call.

what horse s**t…who in their right mind would consider that.

at least keep it in the realms of possibility

Keeping it in the realms of possibility seems to be our trading style as we just saw with Jackson: our initial offer very close to the final deal. I prefer this way too.

My issue in regards to Lobb is this seems to be one way. We seem to be expected to come up with a suitable deal rather than Bulldogs working to persuade us to agree. That's mainly from media and bigfooty chat, which is questionable.

If Meek is on the list and Darcy is injured, Meek plays first ruck.

Absolute waste of Jackson then

Club surely isn't that dumb

 

[Lach72]

The most likely if they can’t give us 21 clean is Lobb and 20 from 2023
for WB 2023 first and 30.

maybe a ten pick upgrade and 30. I’d do that…

 

[Son of a Wizard]

Surely we cannot lose Meek and Lobb. Where is the ruck cover?

 

[Alfonz]

One thing I find interesting is Lobb has indicated he would prefer to be a full time forward and not ruck. He can now do that at Freo. But at the Dogs (and pretty much every other club) he would certainly have to spend a chunk of time giving English a chop out.

 

[Lach72]

Jackson, Treacy, Benning and whoever we pick up.

 

[theGav56]

Why keep Meek then?

Regardless I don't think Jackson is coming in as injury cover for Darcy.

We just need Rory in the media saying they've guaranteed it... come on Lobbster!

Jackson, Treacy, Benning and whoever we pick up.

Yep, there will be a warm body somewhere that can do a job.

I think this has become a secondary concern. The term is something about a cat and lashing...

We’re not getting 11 for Lobb. Nor 24 for Meek.

Assuming WB don’t get 21 for Dunkley - which would automatically come to us you’d assume, then 3- way trade:

Lobb, 44 out; 30, 39, f4 in.
Meek, 39 out; 24, 48 in.

Freo
Out: Meek, Lobb, 44
In: 24, 30, 48, f4

WB
Out: 30, 39, f4
In: Lobb

Hawthorn:
Out: 24, 48
In: Meek, 39

Not doing that deal.

On SEN they said Freo interested in O’meara

 

[Alfonz]

Playing Jackson as the primary ruck might be the waste. It is the least important position on the ground, and when you are paying what we have in draft capital and salary, the expectations are that he will be excelling in positions that are mostly not the ruck. Or else we should be planning to trade Darcy to Geelong.

 

[Lach72]

Oh get ****ed

 

[Son of a Wizard]

On SEN they said Freo interested in O’meara

Please no.

 

[nurries]

On SEN they said Freo interested in O’meara

 

[Lach72]

Heh the Hawks want an O’Meara Meek swap maybe…gross

 

[Joao]

O'Meara is so ordinary.

On SEN they said Freo interested in O’meara

Who on SEN?

Lobb, 44 out; 30, 39, f4 in.
Meek, 39 out; 24, 48 in.

Freo
Out: Meek, Lobb, 44
In: 24, 30, 48, f4

WB
Out: 30, 39, f4
In: Lobb

Hawthorn:
Out: 24, 48
In: Meek, 39

I was thinking like that for Meek, would be a decent outcome.

But trading Lobb for just that is a bit pointless imo, he's of more value staying on the list for one more year if the club wants to play and win finals next year. Also helps a rival cheaply.

Seriously clubs should not be scared to hold players to contracts they signed if they are required, the guy may drop his bottom lip for a bit but I'm sure when pre-season starts he will be professional and just get on with the job he's very well paid for.

 

[ImperialPurple]

All trade values need to be weighed against the value of that player in the side in 2023 and still getting a second or third for Lobb next trade period - a 4th next season for Meek.



Our option is to benefit from them for 2023 and then trade them for picks to pad out next season's draft hand next season.

Lobb particularly would leave too large of a hole assuming Taberner is injured. Playing finals again in 2023 will go a long way to retaining players, Lobb is a step towards that.

I don’t disagree. But just throwing it out there if the club decides they want to help them get to where they want to go. Most likely they don’t. Maybe they want Sharp enough they’re willing to let Meek + 44 go for 24 (+F4 to even it out), then 24 + Carlton F3 for Sharp + 45.

Should’ve added that in!

So now I’m on - keep Lobb.

Meek + 44 for 24, F4
24, Carlton F3 for Sharp, 45

Freo
Out: Meek, 44, Carlton F3
In: Sharp, 45, Hawthorn F4

Hawthorn
Out: 24, F4
In: Meek, 44

GC
Out: Sharp, 45
In: 24, Carlton F3

So essentially for us it’s Meek + Carlton F3 for Sharp + Hawthorn F4.

Just messing about with possibilities, like we all are.

 

[Taylor]

O'Meara would be paid by the Hawks, but I don't think we have the pick for that

 

[ImperialPurple]

Lobb & 44 for 21 & 39. Upgrade almost pushes him into first territory & everyone walks away thinking they got what they wanted.

They have to get 21 first. If they don’t then we either keep him or accept a suite of picks.
