Strategy Trade and List .Management thread 5 (...the post coitus cigarette. Edition)

[Mutt]

Ifs, whats, and buts, sums up the Western Bulldogs football club. What’s done is done. Leave it!

Fair call. I'm done with arguing. Now. Where's the party!???!

 

[Mattdougie]

Now just to top this Sh!t off we will delist Crameri FOR NOTHING and probably have Honey Jong and Campbell on our list

[Bulldogs Legend]

I feel physically ill after that final hour of trades.
Look forward to watching some of Schache's highlights...

Can you imagine being an Essendrugs supporter and watching Stringer's highlights video knowing that he's coming to play for them.
f##k I'm jealous

Wit till they realise he is the new Doc Wheildon!

 

[threenewpadlocks]

I'm a lot more comfortable with Schache being our CHF for next season than Shoenmakers. Remember when we were linked to him?

 

[Braybrook Son]

I don’t know about you guys, but it’s moments like this that keep me going back!

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Ok, so we traded Stringer for 25 + 30. That gave us #9; #25; #28 and #30. So what if Carlton refuses to trade 25 + 30 for 16? We send Brisbane what for Schache? 28 and 30? We would have been left with #9 and #25. Is that a better outcome? Remember the Schache deal was completed with 30 seconds to spare according to David Noble. We'll never know whether arguing over the 2018 second would have meant we ran out of time to do Schache but I'm pretty sure that Dalrymple would much rather have 9 and 16 this draft period and forgo 25 or 30 or whatever next year's second is going to be.

In response to the bolded bit, I believe what you are actually asking is whether 9, 25 and our future 2nd is better than 9 and 16. I think the former is better than the latter. My view is influenced by the hype surrounding the 2018 draft, of which I am no expert. But I know we will be keen on Rhylee West at the 2018 draft and we may now be in a difficult position from that regard.

We were being screwed by other clubs because they knew we would have trouble actually using 28 and 30 at this draft. This is significant and is related to all of the contracts that have been signed to date. Could we have offered one less year to player A or player B at an earlier point? Because that may well have allowed us to get better "value" from 28 and 30, at the point that we were trying to offload them.

We found ourselves in a position that was hard to manoeuvre out of (too many contracted players to make good use of 2nd round picks in this draft), but it was only our own list management choices during contract negotiations that caused this to be the case.

 

[Woof]

All in all, pretty happy with that. Bring on 2018. Only time will tell now.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Now just to top this Sh!t off we will delist Crameri FOR NOTHING and probably have Honey Jong and Campbell on our list

F----------------

Honeychurch has to go. Can’t have too many list cloggers.

Look who's waiting out the back doing nothing.

 

[Chicago1]

I'm glad we kept Jongy. This board would be so dull without him.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Biggest thing I learned is that the threat of taking a player back isn’t real.

Weller (admittedly they got a great deal), Stringer, Schache, Watts all got done.

Easy for me to say but the sooner the players see it as a business decision to be put on the trade table, the better

Biggest thing I learned was that if you got to the loo about ten new pages of posts appear!

 

[grassman75]

Schtinger now known as the 'mercurial forward' now he's at Essenscum.

Up until 10mins ago he was known as 'damaged goods', 'want-away'...

As long as they still call him Jesse I don't give one single ****

 

[Braybrook Son]

Look who's waiting out the back doing nothing.

Ha ha ha, yeah I, for one, won’t miss that mate!

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

anyone that can't see that losing stringer makes us a much better team, isn't looking hard enough

butter soft, lazy & a massively disruptive team spirit killer

really exited about next year now

I called it at the mid season.
Agree

 

[Deadly Darcy]

Dons were pretty keen on Schache apparently. That makes me feel good

 

[Braybrook Son]

I called it at the mid season.
Agree

I agree too. I was swearing at him in the first half of the grand final to do something!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

We gained a first round pick, so we now have 16 & 9, So 16 & Schache in effect for Stringer.

That's a great result from a pretty bad situation.

Well done dogs.

Better than when we lost you to the Dees Kel!

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

Over to Dal to get us some gems in the draft

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

9, 16 and then some shit in the area of 80+.

80 could be used for Roarke I think

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

I agree too. I was swearing at him in the first half of the grand final to do something!

I think defenders know how to play stringer now. More body contact and that can limit him greatly

 

[Braybrook Son]

So looking forward to saving some voice next year when I don’t have to scream out in frustration every time we haven’t got a tall to kick it to, down the line!

 

[grassman75]

That was before Abby trashed him, in league with the Essendon media snow job.

Is it wrong to say Jake only rooted a 17yo, his ex rooted and entire footy club?

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Ha ha ha, yeah I, for one, won’t miss that mate!

And the dropped marks and missed goals.

I dont know a hell of a lot about Schacke but they reckon he is a good kick wouldnt that be nice for a change? We have a long history of bad kicks for goal in out forward line going all the way back to the pieman!

 

[go you pups]

Now just to top this Sh!t off we will delist Crameri FOR NOTHING and probably have Honey Jong and Campbell on our list

F----------------

Honeychurch and Crameri will both be delisted

We still need to make 2 changes

Out Murphy, Boyd, Stringer, Hamilton

In Trengove, Schache, Crozier

 

[LittleG]

Is it wrong to say Jake rooted many 17yos,

EFA

No it's not wrong to say that at all.
