Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 2 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Doggy]

Saints supporters hoping the saints push Collingwood and Essendope onto Bruce... clearly no idea how this works

They also have worse draft hands

Wallace will be rating our list on trade radio soon if anyone wants a giggle.

 

[BevoRambo]

Surely behind the scenes we're having a nibble at Super McPherson's kid at the Suns.

Perfect type we need - high pressure small forward who doesn't get injured - touch wood - and tackles the proverbial out of the opposition.

Remember the glorious 1st half of the final against the Cats we were ahead and Danny kicked 6 or so. Went downhill after halftime but wasnt Dannys fault.

One of the more bizarre games I've seen. Not often a team kicks 14 goals in the first half of a final, and still end up losing by over 10 goals

Yep and it was our first final for a number of years and I got out of my death bed courtesy of some bad Red Rooster chicken and felt even worse at the end of the game!

Recent Chris Grant interview on Dogs site just overviews the first day

Not much is mentioned apart from the club is keeping a strong eye on the talent pool of 2020 and 2021 draft which will likely impact this trade period

“Need more attacking, 185cm thin bodied mids with no defensive skills who don’t tackle...”

Terrible mistake not to recruit him. Surely there was at least one on the list who could have been deleted.

So much for Keath being able to play until he's 40 because he started AFL so late and professional cricket puts no strain on the human body.

It's always been blown up that way, but the reality is that it was always pure BS. Yes he may have less wear and tear on the body. But 30 is 30. Some people can play at a good level well into forties. But that is fairly rare, comes down to how you look after yourself, genetics and mostly luck.

The football world waits with baited breath for the first trade... and it’ll probably be Joe Blow from any club other than GCS, who’s yet to play a game, traded for GCS pick 94. Seven days later, the first meaningful trade will break the damn wall. Meanwhile we all sit here at the AFL’s pleasure, waiting for something, anything, to wake us from this stupor. At least we’ve got BF....

You need to talk to Hard Ball

Usually takes awhile for the first then after that the dominos start to fall. But geez it's been a boring few days

I heard that the Betts deal has been done last night. So probably waiting on lodging paperwork and announcement

I think a year or two ago, the first trade was just pick swaps lol

 

[threenewpadlocks]

I know nothing about the Keath injury situation, but I will say that it’s not that unusual for medicos (even from the same team) to have differing opinions on:

A) exactly what an injury is, and
B) how to treat it.

So I’m not throwing Adelaide under the bus over the Keath stuff.

But isn't that the point? That the Dogs and the Saints completely independent of each other where daily could be 3 different opinions like you say, agree?

Mmm as in trading out of it because it’s not great or trying get into it due our NGAs?

 

[dergert]

Make the trade period 3 days. This shit is a waste of resources and time.

Ps. Dodoro is a flog

 

[Munnez]

I agree but is never going to happen !!
AFL want to dominate the media space for as long as possible. If anything they will extend it.

 

[Ash1337]

Cleary just said the Kelly deal is done for 14 future first and 25? For Kelly and something else.

 

[The Buck]

dont fu** up power dont fu** up power dont fu** up power etc

You can say that again!

 

[ivan rassmussen]

So if Bombres lose Daniher and Fan-ta-see-a, and gain Sam P-P, does Doodoo win trade week again?!

 

[King_Steele]

Any chance we get Toby McLean in a straight swap for Josh Bruce or is that wishful thinking?

Think McLean would change our midfield dynamic considerably.

Wishful thinking but deserves more midfield minutes

Cheers for the reply.

Pick 25-30 it is.
