Strategy Trade and List Management thread 4 (Be sure to huddle around your transitor radio at 11 am Edition)

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Not sure if mention but would anyone be keen for Harbrow to return to the dogs.
Left on good terms and could be a good option alongside JJ off half back

Is he needed? Half back is one of our strongest and deepest areas

He could play the wing and forward kinda like what's happening to JJ atm

Turns 30 next year and he's a poor man's JJ these days.

Also, I don't think the team could accommodate another sub-180cm defender.

Nah. His best footy was 2009-2010, has gone massively downhill since leaving.

He has still won more games at the Doggies than the Meter Maids

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Jarrod Harbrow.

Of all the players that we have lost in recent years, he's the one that I don't miss at all when I see him running fast and invariably turning the ball over.

That we burnt the compensation pick on Just Sherman bothers me more. Justin Sherman!!!

 

[jdz101]

Let Collingwood have Harbrow. Its almost like they're trying to assemble the most inept backline ever.

 

[_Mike_]

Both Stringer and Dunkley return to full contact training this week

 

[Mofra]

Sure Harbrow turns it over, but he looks wonderful doing it.

 

[jdz101]

Sure Harbrow turns it over, but he looks wonderful doing it.

A reasonable amount of flair but underneath that, there lacks any real substance as an AFL footballer. Sort of like Jeremy Howe for the majority of his career.

 

[Super Hans]

Would only want Hawbrow if he cost FA and we played him fwd.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

No-one would. But someone would take him at $450-$500k. North get a second round pick in and free up close to $500k in the cap.

Kinda like Collingwood should just pay out Chris Mayne, save a little money and fill that list spot with a kid.

That's what I was getting at. A club would definitely pay 500k for Goldy. Frees up 400 for Nth to have a crack at Kelly/Martin. Goldy is worth 500 if Mayne is on 500 x 4 easily.

 

[Zephiisdaman]

Who would take Goldstein for $900k per year though? NM would have to throw in a first round pick to get rid of that salary

I reckon we would in a heartbeat.

 

[immortalmike]

I like Harbrow. I'd take him and play him on a wing.

 

[JEDi 44]

Harbrow, Tippett, Goldstein, ????
Haven't we got enough players already on our rookie list?

 

[King Harold]

I would be staggered if we are even remotely interested in a 30 yr old Harbrow.

 

[lachy]

Nah you have to be involved in the trade market, the actual result is irrelevant as long as you are involved.

Anything 1 trade or less and our trade period must be rated an F, everyone knows this

 

[The Original Swooper]

Why are supporters willing to clutch at straws and think topping up our list with 30yo players is required ? I'm serious. Is there something I'm missing ? I see our list. I see some deficiencies. But surely with our list demographic we SHOULD be looking for 24-27 yo players who :-
1. Slot straight in to our best 25
2. Addresses those deficiencies.
3. Will be part of our drive to be a front runner for years.

To compromise and settle for other clubs cast offs is what desperate teams do. Are we desperate ? No. Unless somebody can demonstrate to me otherwise.

Our 2017 season MIGHT not get us what we wanted ( I haven't given up yet !) but if anybody thinks we are not already in the top bracket of team lists I'm dumbfounded

We are about to lose 2 or 3 vets, ( 2 now looking more likely if Moz gets his way) but as many of our young guns are getting into that 50-100 games bracket I don't buy the historic " we need experience" argument. Our young squad won a GF ffs and despite the doomsayers, are still in the hunt this year. And will be for a few years yet. I love the talk about a Lever type. A grade, right age, long term reward. Or a Charlie Cameron who gives us something we do not have. But I don't understand the chat on Tippett, Harbrow, Goldy et al. Do we want to end up like Norf ?

Similarly, I don't care if we trade away ALL our high picks to get the players we need that fit that age bracket. We have been longing for a list like we have, our time is NOW. Forget 5 years time, footy landscape changes by the season these days and great list management is a vital ingredient to remain competitive

Come at me folks !

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

That's some poor service. He'd now be ready for our forward line service

Patton to dogs confirmed

He keeps dropping his coffee just like he dropped that chest mark in the last quarter of the Prelim!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Sherman!!! You have just sent me back to therapy I thought I had forgotten about him.

 

[Ozil]

That's hilarious. What a disaster that project has been.

What about Majak as a second ruck who floats forward a bit?

 

[Northern Dogs]

I think we need to show you the Daw out

 

[King Harold]

Call me old fashion Scrag , but I much prefer blokes that have at least a rough idea how to play Aussie rules.
Dunno , but I reckon it probably helps out there !

 

[The Original Swooper]

What about Majak as a second ruck who floats forward a bit?

Not sure if serious. (That's why we love you Scrag, coz we rarely do know !).

A few seasons ago when he would have been very low cost we could have written him off as " development". I don't know what we can do that Norf couldn't. They even gifted him games ahead of Preuss So, although he ticks age box, ummm I think he's a long way off best 25-26.

Well Collingwood is closer to Cairns for ex #40 to travel to see his family
