Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 6 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[RWnBluey]

The only one I've seen utter that sentiment is the former fire fighter.

So called. Did he ever actually fight a fire?

 

[True Dog]

I see Buku being able to play Doc’s role.

Buku doesn’t have the footy smarts and defensive mindset to play Docs role.

 

[stefoid]

Some posters on Woof.Com claiming that Darcy is gone after next year

woof.com? wtf is that?

 

[GetDimmaBack]

woof.com? wtf is that?

Whitten Oval Online Forum. Dogs fans only.

An alternative to BF.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

woof.com? wtf is that?

It's also woof.net.au - not woof.com.

Also, if anyone thinks that a third generation F/S, son of a sitting board member and probably our biggest commodity behind Bont is going anywhere, I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[Sentinel]

Just imagine Darcy’s worth at the trade table. The cost would be unfathomable.

Sweet fk all chance of that ever happening anyway hahah

Would be uncontracted so late 1st or early 2nd if we're lucky, being the Bulldogs. I think that's how it works?

 

[CDBulldog]

I see Buku being able to play Doc’s role.

No way, far too slow and not agile enough. Would get torched by quick small forwards like Cameron. Buku’s only strength against the small forwards is his intercept marking, but that’s not what we need for a lockdown small. Must have wheels, be agile and have good football iq as they come up against some of the craftiest players in the comp. Buku would get badly exposed.

 

[weltschmerz]

It wasn't too long ago that JUH was a certainty to be drafted to Essendon, then a certainty to walk out on the Dogs and into Stringer's spare room, according to a supposed relative on bomberblitz. They've moved on to insisting that Darcy's totally going you guys, he hates the Dogs and is definitely coming to a club just like Essendon, someone on WOOF said so.

Caddy's pretty good, maybe they could draft another key forward or two of their own?

 

[Dogs Rule]

So called. Did he ever actually fight a fire?

Nah, he went to the fire told it that it was underperforming, taking too many short cuts within the building and was not hot enough compared to other hotter fires and to stop showing off, then he dropped his gear and left.

The next week he came back and said it was the best fire of all time...

 

[Doggy Dan]

Ticken = Ticking boxes required to fulfil his contractual arrangement and get paid

Licken = Licking his lips at the prospect of where he’ll end up

Stop Yappin = Alright, I’ve come down to the club one last time and put the kit on, leave me alone now.

Whatever it is, he’s a genius for getting people wondering / talking about it.

 

[grassman75]

I've been dreaming about something like this happening...

Would stick to the "big clubs", wouldn't?

Imagine the bleating!

But…but…Geelong bought him a house….

In steps Dimma with a penthouse

 

[Charlie Bucket]

According to Foxfooty we wouldn’t get Petracca even if we had the trade resources because we don’t have the bright lights appeal of the big Victorian clubs.

They’re kinda right.

I mean, why would he want to come play for the Dogs when he can stay at the Dees and play in front of 14k fans at the G in a Saturday night blockbuster.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

It’s cringy and floggy.

Outside of Big Footy, who exactly has been talking about Bailey Smith?

 

[grassman75]

Gold Coast is a hot-spot for instagram influencers in Australia.

Bailey's DM's as soon as he announces it

It really is the perfect fit for him…..

 

[Mojorisin]

Wait.
Hold up.
There is life outside of Big Footy?

 

[seaweed]

A very, very, VERY small part of me wants the season to be over because I am sick to death of hearing about Bailey Smith

and I just want there to be an announcement he’s requested a trade to whichever flipping club. Honestly. I’ll give him some credit - what a way to keep yourself in the spotlight without even being able to play.

The best part of this is that I only started following the Dogs this year so I’m already used to the side without him in it we all know he’s gone, stop drawing it out and just get on with it. Less time telling us what you’re doing, more time doing.

Not sure I'd call this genius. Perhaps self serving and trolling/shitposting would be a better description.

 

[adogsfan5]

The media.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

I’m referring to the media.

There hasn’t been a whimper about him in the last few months.

Makes it all the more cringier if it’s some personal beef.

To be fair to Baz and his team they have kept a low profile, can't recall the last time they actually said anything about his contract status. Reading the tea leaves this means he is a goner but I prefer that to 'Bailey will wait until the end of the year to assess his options'.

Just makes the trading of our first rounder this year, which will fall anywhere from pick 10 to pick 18 make so much more sense, we have known he is gone for a long, long time.

 

[VitalDread]

It might be a tough sell due to picks

I'd love to get Tim Taranto

Remember that this year alone:

Busslinger was gone until he wasnt.

English was gone until he wasnt.

Getting wound up about every social media post, repost, rumour or media story is a fools errand.

Smith will remain a bulldog until he isn't.

 

[dergert]

Damn.. looks like Joe Richards is off to port.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Damn.. looks like Joe Richards is off to port.

They are offering Richards a 4 year deal
