Hmm Fair enough, It's not a bad deal, I just don't see Hopper as the guy we need, I rather a big body who is defense 1st like Dunks, Hopper wants to attack like Parish and Shiel.

I agree, but there doesn't seem to be any available now.
Personally I don't want Stocker or Dow types. Bytel would be OK, maybe we can get Kemp or Stephens out of Geelong.

 

[citizen-erased]

I agree, the Cats reward for taking on the horrible contract is pick 7, they are no longer taking on a horrible contract.

we could make a play for 7.
Trade 22 into an F2 (dead pick for us anyway)
Trade both F2's & F3 into 7 & GCS 2nd.

Test the cats dedication to Bowes. they waiver, sounds like we were 2nd in line to Bowes anyway and the option is still there.
Only been reported they're willing to include 7.
I also don't see how a Cats F2 (30odd) for 7 gets approved by the AFL, let alone with a player like Bowes going back. If they tick that off, the system is broken.

 

[carnthedons]

I think the solution is obvious.

At the end of each year the bottom four get a whole bunch of blue shells, stars, and bullet-o-bill transmogs and the remaining teams get one banana peel each

Trauma unlocked

 

[ghostdog]

Do you want to offer pick 4?

Actually no, if it means missing the chance for Sheezel.

I like it, just to make em think haha...
22 to Port for F2
Our F2+Port F2 to Suns for 7+45+46

I still wouldn't do it, Hopper is a kick chaser like Parish, Merrett and Shiel, he's just bigger.

That's the important difference though.

If your kick chaser can absorb physical heat he can dictate how the game is played and free up the outside players so that you're not getting sucked into secondary clearance purgatory.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Media must be spewin they can't blame Essendon for holding up trade week this year.

Essendon haven't been able to be involved and all of a sudden this year there is an unprecedented number of movements *thoughtful emoji

 

[Milanista28]

It's good if we win the ball, but if we don't we'll still be exposed.

 

[BrunoV]

In this bold new age of trading, I wonder if we could call Hawthorn, North or Brisbane about trading us a first rounder in exchange for another scandal to keep them out of the news for another week or month?

Essendon to convert oval 2 to graze calves to sell as veal?

 

[BrunoV]

It's good if we win the ball, but if we don't we'll still be exposed.

Yep. That's why you want players exposing you to play more of a role making those around them better.

Bulldogs willing to walk Dunkley into the open market as Brisbane talks stall

Josh Dunkley’s move to the Brisbane Lions is on life support.

Surely only us or north!?? Not really a need for north

Unlimited opportunities.

Have you watched North this year? They'd love a Dunkley in the middle.

North could use any talent they can get their hands on lol

wait til the hangar fitness team gets involved - most calves have now done a calf - or at least showing calf awareness

 

[Howard Moon]

do not get excited by somehow profiting from other teams trade posturing - we don't ever profit from anything, if it was raining palaces wed get hit by the dunny door

 

[Milanista28]

12+Haynes for F2
12+22 for Dunkley

 

[isthisit13]

It really is the truest form of equalization i have ever seen.

 

[footyfanatic111]

Fair, my mistake

 

[citizen-erased]

12+Haynes for F2
12+22 for Dunkley

the ways in which that works for us is too sensical
same as Bowes and 7

I like it though.

 

[citizen-erased]

that sounds like a recipe for foot and mouth
or aptly for us, foot in mouth

 

[Foxx]

I would think if the AFL want to tighten up on a club like Geelong taking advantage of it, then this. Must take on the original terms of the outgoing deal ie. 2 x $850k.

Smoothing out the deal makes it possible for a club that shouldn't be able to take advantage of a salary dump trade, to take advantage of it, whilst the whole point was supposed to be that poor performing clubs struggling to meet the cap floor would be able to do so.

Then they would just do:
850 850 200 200

Nothing stopping them. There should be, but there isn't.

Except they'd need to then have $850k of room in their cap this year and next year to do that.

Instead they're doing ~ $450k each year instead is my guess, big difference to fit one versus the other.

It might be unrealistic to convince Dunkley, but what if we went to the Bulldogs and said 4 and 22 for Dunkley and 11 (12)?

Values Dunkley at 9.

isnt there a minimum wage though?

wouldn't the 200 years catch them out
