No Oppo Supporters Leak of sensitive information - AFL to lead investigation

I don't think I could support the game anymore nor the afl If he is found innocent or gets a minor penalty and we get nothing for him.

JJHunter · Oct 22, 2015

People really need to lower expectations when it comes to the Talia Trade.
We were never going to get anything higher than 50 and am not 1 bit surprised that we basically got nothing

maddog37 · Oct 22, 2015

The whole Talia journey has been one shit storm after the other. Good riddance

On the bright side, we are set to hit the 4th round HARD in 2016!!!!

At least Adelaide didn't get to pick him in the PSD.

That's a positive. At least they don't get the rat bastard although I suspect he might get hit lightly now that he's not at an involved club.

Hopefully we're just building a little arsenal to upgrade some picks in a stronger draft.

Our 3 picks there will probably end up being worth 350-400 points, could make a handy difference.

...and Talia's now free to tell the Swans anything he likes about our game plan

This article explains why we got a packet of chips for him...no one apart from the swans wanted him, and they had to keep their picks for the academy boys

"Dogs list manager Jason McCartney told the Herald Sun it was hard to strike a fair trade for Talia with Sydney the only interested club.

The Crows and Essendon were linked to Talia — the grandson of Bulldogs premiership player Harvey Stevens — but McCartney said only the Swans wanted him.

“They didn’t have a lot to give up and we were in a predicament where we were looking at getting nothing,” he said.

“Through our investigations over longer than a two-week period there wasn’t the level of interest and it’s difficult with what’s going on in the background too with the AFL investigation.

“In the end we were probably going to get nothing, so we got a future pick which we’ll use.”

Yes considering we were not going to use the pick we gave with talia we got talia for a 2016 4th rounder.
No bad considering no one wanted him.

I’m usually the first to blindly accept the clubs word on these sort of matters but I think this is bs. Sydney held us over a barrel yet people are saying we’re fostering a good trade relationship?

They did have tradable commodities. In the final 2 hours they traded pick 23 to WC for picks 36 & 37. That is a net value of 985 points. Our second third and fourth round picks totalled up to 943 points.

Now surely a trade of 23 for Talia and those 3 picks would have been fair from Sydney?

Maybe the club didn’t like that trade, although I find that hard to believe when we traded pick 11 down to two picks just before it.

We could have entered the draft with picks 20, 21 & 23. That’s a handy little net. I doubt pick 51 is that important to us.

Maybe we weighed all these options up and chose the path we took, but I really can’t help but get the feeling that while other clubs were getting deals done we were in the corner dancing with ourselves…

gangsta deluxe · Oct 23, 2015

Bro Talia had no value. Why would you expect something for him? There is good will then there is stupidity.

We chose something of no value to us. As did they, the past two years demonstrate an ability to, I'm sure show an awareness to adjust a difficult context, and look to the future..

skooshtamart · Oct 23, 2015

TalAdia, was worthless, should have made the complaint to the AFL today.

I'm prophesying the 2016 Sydney 4th rounder will become a well decorated 300 gamer for the Dogs.

I Must remember this post in about 20 years time to claim some bragging rights.

No.Not tall enough for key position and not mobile enough to play on small, and not worth pick 23.

Outcome imminent. Stevo just tweeted Talia was $1.01 to be cleared. Too hard, grey area. Bloody hell.

Took a while to cover it all up. I wonder how they'll spin it.

Testekill · Oct 25, 2015

Now how many people will actually buy the whole "nothing in it" story that they're sure to spin.

Dogs_R_Us · Oct 25, 2015

Something happened...

Dry Rot · Oct 25, 2015

The answer is to play Redpath on Talia when we play the Swans*, with orders to terminate him with extreme prejudice.

*Assuming he gets a game with them. Funny if he rotted in the NEAFL.

Fossie 32 · Oct 25, 2015

Rotting in the NEAFL seems the likely outcome going by the BF Pundits

Ever seen a NEAFL game?

It's like Auskick, but played by useless adults. Talia will fit in well.

gangsta deluxe · Oct 26, 2015

You know what this all really comes down to? Whether the AFL feel like boning Sydney, and/or Adelaide, more than just sweeping it under the carpet and pretending like it didnt happen.

The AFL seem to dislike both Adelaide and Sydney (especially Sydney). They dont seem to dislike us, more treat us like their little bitch.

If they want to f*** with just Sydney they could simply ban Talia for half the year. They want to rob Sydney with aynthing to do with trades so I can see it happening.

Take home message - this has nothing to do with what happened or any real attempt at a transparent and justified investigation.
