Game Day 2022 Trade Period Match Thread

[Snuffaluphagus]

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

 

[Cobbler]

He also kept him to 7 touches and 1 goal, just the lazy two touches in the second half when they dominated us, not bad.

Also kept Jezza Cameron scoreless and beat Curnow earlier in the season. All things considered, he did quite well against Curnow at Marvel given how hopeless our midfield was, Curnow should've kicked 8 with that quality and quantity of delivery

He's a good defender, obviously not worth $800k, but it's obvious why they offered him that much and it's understandable why he left, so I don't understand the childish approach you're taking with him

Are you his dad?
I’m allowed to not rate him. You’re allowed to rate him.
Club didn’t rate him in our back 6 or 7.
North rate him and have paid him.

Everyone’s allowed opinions buddy.

One thing I don’t do is give you shit because you disagree, yet here you are calling me childish.

He’s no longer at Freo. Let’s all move on from this spud, ok.

 

[Taylor]

So long as he doesn't win it playing for a team that his father didn't play for.

Which is what I expect will happen, if he is rated a pick in the 20s the Eagles have two of those - unless we trade something with GWS to get hold of #19 they might just get him first.

If he is rated in the 35 to 40 range, different story but Allan is a unique prospect, like Jackson. We could set up a land of the giants midfield with our wingers at 195cm+ and agile enough to match their smaller opponents.

Any danger GWS could want back in to the Lobb trade??

Not until Colin Young opens the floor to offers outside of Bulldogs.

But GWS are going to need to shed picks into next season anyway, that #19 could be gettable. I'd expect it would cost our future first (or a future first) for that.

Watch for Dogs trading their future first to us for Lobb going to GWS for #19

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Lol - a bust. He’s going to play 200 AFL games at least over his career and has just signed a $3.5m deal over 5 years but you think he’s a “bust”

Gallucci at 15 is a bust - now a part time footballer at south Fremantle. Some fall from grace after 6 years.
SPS at 6 will probably be delisted next year - bust.
Setterfield at 5 scraping around OOC at Carlton and trying to get to Essendon on base wages - bust.

Jared Polec was also a top 10 pick (#5), also got a $3.5m deal at North, and has so far has played 148 games and counting.

I bet 99% of footy fans would also call him a bust.

 

[Dockernut]

On that - is there an actual offer on the table from WB?

 

[Taylor]

To Rory there is.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Right, but aren’t we confident / comfortable the Weags can’t afford him?

North could.

 

[Dockernut]

To Rory there is.

Ok, so this “frustration” that he is apparently experiencing, and being so widely reported, is based on our not accepting a non-existent offer?

 

[pK75]

They offered pick 30, we said we’re not trading him.

 

[Carnthedockers]

I’ve been told it’s a third rounder, which is laughable. How can you woo a bloke all year to come to your club, and that’s the best you can offer. Pi55 poor by the dogs and young.

 

[Freo]

If we do land Jackson, I hope we position him on the opposite wing to Darcy at kick ins. That way Ryan has somebody else to kick to. Kicking it to Darcy over and over just wasn't working in the final against Collingwood and was too easy to defend.

I also think Treacy does have the potential to be a gun. The forward line as whole needs work in regards to positioning, I noticed in the games that JT did play that he and Tabs, or Lobb led to the same positions and were competing for the same balls. Rory seemed to perform better with an empty forward line, just leading into space. I'm sure with leading one of his strengths that if JT was afforded the same luxury he could be just as effective. When they are leading to the same areas they are drawing their defenders to the contest as well.

Hopefully another preseason under Graham can sort that out, Kennedy and Darling never seemed to get in each other's way...

I like the way Ryan kicks it to Cox over and over. They have a thing going on with kick-ins

 

[Taylor]

Get Jackson done, trade Lobb and North's F3 to the Dogs for their F1, trade that pick to GWS for pick #19.

Pretend to take offers before the second day of the draft starts.

 

[Paracleet]

Only if the footy word 'bust' has been redefined to mean something else.

A bust is a player picked high that turns out not to be AFL standard. Whatever their faults Logue and Polec are clearly that.

 

[Paracleet]

I was under the impression it was because (looking foward from 2021) there was no room in the cap going forward for Rory with Jackson potentially incoming and all the young stars needing to be resigned. Young could use that as leverage to force a deal.

Cept with so many players out, particularly Logue, the cap is no longer full for next year.
Hes sold one client down the river to take money on another.

Are you his dad? For pointing out he played well......sure, that makes sense

You're allowed to not rate him, but your constant negatively about him is tiresome

Multiple clubs rated him, Brisbane, Swans and Tigers were interested. We were very keen to keep him even during the trade period.....so maybe he's not s**t?

Oh no, did I hurt your feelings? Should I expect you to inbox for me insults 5 hours again without getting a single reply from me?

Those extensions to Frederick, Switta and there might have been another where the already contracted 2023 money could be moved out into later years would free up salary cap for 2023 to facilitate no urgency with moving Lobb

Its about performance compared to what was "spent", also factoring what could have been acquired at that pick.

Morabito was a bust even though the footy he played was at AFL standard. You just expect more performance from a #4.

If Shooter was picked at #1 he would be considered by many a bust. Yes he is abona fide AFL footballer, but a club should get more out of a #1 pick.

LOL!
I can’t recall it fully, but recall you thinking we’d lose to Brisbane by 50 and I called you out prior to the match. Then you got all offended when we won. You bagged me out on the threads because of my ‘optimistic’ nature. Then we won!
I’ll post the 5 hours of messages shortly. There was 3!

Nothing to do with cap. He’s trying to leave a front ended deal for more $

Same source as always?

I find it incredibly hard for Young to allow Lobb to buy a house knowing that dogs were going to offer something so piss poor, surely they had a breakdown in communication, geez

I trust your work too so this is just incredible if its the case

Why can’t we have both?

Logue is a rich opposition player.

He might have expected Logue to eventually sign with Freo until the monster offer came he couldn't refuse
