Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 5 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Foxman98]

Flynn is the one that has shown the most when thrown forward, he's the only one of the three that I'd look at.

Just depends what it costs but if we can move Sweet for a pick and use that on him i'd be doing that

 

[Mofra]

Wouldn't mind if its having a look at a Ballard type

Alex Sexton is a pre-agent and reports are GCS asking him to consider a trade.
Not the greatest defensively but does have genuine goal sense

Not for me personally but they have some young blokes like Rosas in that position that show a bit

 

[Chops]

Feel like this is how it will all go down

Dogs Give up Dunks and Pick 37
Lions Give Pick 15 and 2023 First Rounder

Dogs give Pick 29
Freo Gives Lobb and future 3rd

Dogs trade Schache for Pick upgrade

Dogs sign James Rowe as delisted free agent

Dogs trade Crozier to North for future 3rd

Re-sign JJ, Wallis, and Cordy
Bring in Jones as Free Agent

Out: Butler, Dunks, Martin, Parker (R), Schache, Crozier

In: Lobb, Rowe, Jones

Finish 8th again

Would he offer more than Mitch Hannan?

 

[doggie dog]

I tend to agree with this. I would say that Dunks was a good midfielder but not a champion midfielder. His kicking was often not very good. His goal kicking for goal was pretty average. Had games where he would go missing quite a bit. Strong player, but I don't think we will miss him that much. Overall rating 6 to 6.5 out of 10.

I still remember dunks in a game kicking 2 set shots 30 meters out and only on a slight angel and he missed all the sticks.
How does a professional footy player miss everything in front of goals.
Ducks was always looking else where so this was expected.
Dunks is replaceable, we have Sammy to hopefully get the best return and balance our list.
No more midfilders who can't hit up targets or kick for goals.

This is not an attribute you want to add to a forward line that has shown its utterly incapable of holding the ball in its own zone.

We might as well continue to put games into Mitch Wallis as recruit Michael Sexton.

 

[Mofra]

Would he offer more than Mitch Hannan?

No. Hannan's one-wood is to sacrifice his game for his teammates (he's still our best 'blocker' for Naughts)
Sexton is the polar opposite to that

Crozier will only get us a 4th rounder - pick in the 70s only.

 

[dergert]

Hagdorn is a known shit talker so our links to Rowe are probably made up.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I think this trade gets done with minimal fuss.

Lions lose 2022 1st, 2023 1st.
Lions gain: Dunks, 600-800 points (2 picks in the 40’s)

Dogs lose: Dunks, 2 picks in the 40’s
Dogs gain: 2022 1st, 2023 1st

There is no need to over complicate it further than that.

We could then flip the lions picks for a top 10 this year if we felt the need or trade on for other assets.

In all likelyhood, the departure of players like JJ, Hunter, et al. will net us a little bit of currency to put the points on the table.

If we could somehow turn other late picks of ours into whatever compo picks they get (in a way that leaves them with more points) I don't see why we wouldn't do that too. They'll be trying to make those trades with someone, might as well be us if possible.

I banter Sexton all the time at Dogs home games for being the most hungry player of all time

i need him at the club

 

[Dogsman16]

Sexton is Wallis 2.0. Can hit the scoreboard but he’s a bit of a low pressure/low speed player and medium forwards IMO doesn’t really suit our setup.

Pass.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Mark Stevens saying Stef Martin will play on again

For whom? Deer Park?

 

[HK_Bulldog]

I wonder if Dunkley moving on will be a good thing for Treloar and getting him to buy into the club a bit more. I agree with some observations that Treloar is a 'cultural ostrich'. Regardless of how the money works, he is our second highest-paid player at $900k a year, so we should expect more from him. I just haven't seen the passion and spirit in his game. I feel like he is a star on loan to us playing representative matches.
I want to see some 'ice in the veins' celebration like a Bailey Smith

or 'get the f*ck off him' like a Libba or 'wanna see me jump on your head again' like Naughton or some 'Get on my back boys, we're winning this one' like Bont.
Just don't get the vibe from Treloar.

Bruce embraced the club straight away. The pulling of the jumper in the 2020 EF against the Saints got me. He has an energy about him. Wasn't fit this year, but hope he has a belter of a pre-season because he's very much a spiritual leader.

He’s much more talented than Hannan though, but yeah different players.

I’ve always had some time for Sexton and wouldn’t be against him coming.

He wouldn’t cost much.

Sexton is Wallis 2.0. Can hit the scoreboard but he’s a bit of a low pressure/low speed player and medium forwards IMO doesn’t really suit our setup.

Pass.

He’s much quicker than Wallis.

Absolutely. When he first joined the dogs and there were no crowds and limited canned noise, you could hear Josh's passion and energy on the field. I loved the way he celebrated his teammates goals, marks and generally good play. He is a team-first man, someone you'd want on your side.

Big move by Collingwood delisting the brown brothers

Smart move.

They are both terrible.
