[Angak]

we've offered him a contract, how is that pushing him out?

The offering of a contract is a smokescreen.

Usually if you don't want a player that you think may have value on the open market you offer a low-ball contract that will drive up the value for a trade or in this case free agency compo.

wtf is going on at pies if they're paying 300k for grundy of 900k and bring mcstay for 600k .

Welcome to the Bulldogs, Liam. Can’t wait to see him pull on the red, white & blue. Here’s something I’ve been working on for a few weeks.

Aha, a new Bevo tactic - players to wear out-sized jumpers, and when flying for marks, the additional air intake acts like a sail. Our marking next year will be through the roof! Liam Jones, with his existing leap and the sail add-on, will be unstoppable.

Looks increasingly so..

Probably why he was blind on mad Monday

Jones/Keath/Gards/Darcy all ahead of him.

As bad as TOB was this year, he was still better than Cordy.

Buku is an improvement in the 3rd defender role Cordy should be playing also.

We'll be fine without him.

I disagree. TOB was a great disappointment. Praying for some kind of improvement next year.

14 pick difference in McStay and Jones is hilarious.

The red jumper returns!

Hey, I paid for a redhead, who is this?

Can’t wait for him to grow into that jumper over the offseason.

Also guarantees more jumper pulls.

I still think we bring in one more key defender via trade or mature age via draft

Fixed it for you - he’ll get a few games down there next year at least. No rush for another key defender if we can’t find one we like for the money or in the draft.

 

[Contador]

We were getting Jones regardless and put a contract in front of Cordy. He's not a replacement

I agree, he's an upgrade.

If you thought the ball was the only thing that could carry an extra 20m with a strong wind you’re in for a surprise.

 

[Southern 8]

Why do you say we are pushing him out the door? It has been reported that we have a contract offer in front of him. As a free agent he is well entitled to consider his options.

Agree, it’s like Lipinski and Young. The amount of times I read we got rid of them frustrates me. They were both offered contracts and were wanted.

Big pick swap between Melbourne and Port.

Port nuffies seem to think it's linked with getting Brisbane's 15.

And that’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if we can’t make a deal with Brisbane. 15 and future first or no deal.

There are subtle ways to get rid of players, as another posted mentioned above. A deliberate low-balling contract has the same effect. I don't know if we did that to Lipinski and Young, but we have certainly used it as a tactic over the years, as have other clubs.

 

[Ash1337]

I hope the club looks at getting AMT in. Need his forward pressure.

They got to get Rioli and maybe Ratugolea in too.

Don’t know what our offer was but I genuinely believe Dogs were disappointed to lose them. Think it was more those guys were sick of being fringe and were guaranteed more opportunity at new clubs. Who knows if they would of got a better go this year if they stayed.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Interesting to see if he has maintained his condition. Jones has played a decent level of footy this year, and by all reports kept himself in tip-top condition. AMT had injury issues, which exacerbated fitness issues. Has he been playing anywhere? Don't want another Allen Jakovich scenario.

If they trade 15 it is hard to see how it gets done.

No thanks

Has a habit of going missing

Indeed. It would be crazy on Brizzies behalf.

They either walk away from this trade period with either;

Dunkley and enough points for Ashcroft and Fletcher, or

Enough points for Ashcroft and Fletcher and some left over junk picks.

That is a proper no-brainer. Epic mismanagement if they don't get Dunkley .

I've said this before. We should be asking for Lohmann and Wilmont as part of the deal.

Didn’t power mention they may have to use players? Little hint perhaps.

Offered them a contract yes, that contract had a remuneration figure yes but that was the extent of it what it lacked was detail of direction and role for them going forward.
