Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[MKMatty]

Imagine having the list you have, trading away picks to bring more players in, never being able to get over the Prelim hump and then your Chairman saying making finals was the pass mark. Jesus Christ, no wonder Kenneth's kept his job for almost 15 years there.

All good. The unravel from here will be something spectacular.

Hope they kept the tarps.

D.Robertson looks more likely to stay than leave, price is a 2R in this year.

A second rounder for Dev? Madness

I can only assume that's the price the Lions pay us to take him. After trying and failing to get him last year I wouldn't want to give up a damn thing. Walk him for free next year if he shows something.

It is.

But he's contracted to end of 2025 and the Lions have no intention of moving him on unless something stupid comes in that helps their points situation in this draft.

Conversation I've had seemed to infer that if they gain 500 points in a trade for him, they will accept it.

Enjoy the VFL then Dev

That prawn really ruined Dev’s career, didn’t it?

I can't see Brisbane setting that price for Robertson. He's not the only player they have to make a decision on this offseason. They'll be happy with a current pick for a future pick knowing they can make points up from trading pick 20 to Richmond (who won't bid on Ashcroft with pick 1) as well as any other players they move on.

Dev made his decision last year to stay and play in a premiership but inevitably cost himself 15 games at AFL level by doing so.

But you can’t blame him for that, to be honest- he’d just played in a GF and wouldn’t have banked on playing much VFL this year. If he comes across this year I’m not going to hold it against him..

headed to the cats, even on a preseason pick?

He is a solid B player at best. One way runner, with below average kicking skills and I think inevitably he will be more trouble for Geelong than any gains.

I want Geelong to pay as much as possible to get him. I think he wont be as good as he once was projected to be and I want Geelong to be bereft of picks in the process.
Anything that brings them back out of the 8 for a few years

I’d take Smith in the PSD in a heartbeat. So would Richmond and Norf.

Make those campaigners pay

They’ve been undermining the Bulldogs for a long time and using one of their main sponsors to help that happen

I’d be furious if I was a Bulldogs supporter

Hope he ends up at Richmond or North

Lions considering approaching J.Stringer with a 1 year contract with performance-based extension.

Need to come to an agreement with J.Daniher over a payout so his remaining contract doesn't still impact their 2025 salary cap.

Daniher retired. There's no payout required from the Lions. He's walked away from his contract.

Will not part with more than an early 3rd rounder as a trade offer, preferably from next year.

Also looking at T.Membrey due to his UFA status.

Rumours around of T.Hawkins being contacted, but as far as I know they are completely unfounded.

In addition to pick 18, Brisbane's F2 and F3 are on the market for points this year.

D.Robertson looks more likely to stay than leave, price is a 2R in this year.

J.Prior and J.Tunstill much the same.

K.Lane looks gettable as a ruck option.

Delisted. Free to anyone.

ZZ is locked away as a possible longer-term successor to the J.Daniher role.

Played in defence the whole VFL season.

No idea about other players that may be of interest to West Coast.

It would surely have been a dud anyway. Both the Force and the Reds struggled in a footy market. Re-animating the corpse of a long-defunct legacy NRL club and rebadging it as a WA team doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

The PNG team will be interesting -they love the game up there.

For all their faults, you have to give the AFL credit for establishing teams in the Northern states and committing to seeing them survive (even if some of the advantages aren't always fair)

I think he’s better than recent acquisitions like Bruhn, Henry and Bowes, and Geelong should pay up. Maybe not quite what he was drafted at, but mid-first-round. Although I guess Geelong are unhappy Smith won’t come with a bonus pick.

I dunno, I'm certain there's a few clubs in Perth where the term 'bear' gets used a bit.
