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

That would be very short-sighted. Petracca's career is more than half over and Naughton's is relatively young. Petracca isn't going to want to come here. And further, he is a tool. Naughton expressed great faith in the Bulldogs and the Bulldogs in him with the duration of his new contract. It just isn't something that has any legs....thank goodness.

I agree with the point, but I think it’s harsh calling Petracca a tool. Seems like a nice bloke from all accounts, feel like he has been very unfairly dragged this week.

 

[Mojorisin]

Not this late in the piece though, they quizzed him further on if things changed post the bump with Rankine and he said that it really reaffirmed in his mind that Port was the place for him.

I don't think he'd say any different given power are in the finals.

 

[Bald]

I don't think he'd say any different given power are in the finals.

I don't know - this seemed more definitive. Normally they run with the "I'm contracted, I'll leave everything like that to my manager". It'd be a bit of a backflip if he left, imo.

 

[Angak]

It's so very unpopular but I'd have a hard time saying no to a Petracca for Naughton trade.

In the short term we would be better positioned to win a flag or two with Petracca. However, Naughton is being groomed to be the next club captain once Bont decides to give it up.

 

[Bulldogs85]

He's obviously not going anywhere but the Dees are asking about Naughton they must know Petracca is goneeee

LOL Melbourne wouldn’t even get a return phone call

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Maybe he was too soft

Genuinely chortled at this one

 

[Angak]

He's obviously not going anywhere but the Dees are asking about Naughton they must know Petracca is goneeee

Who said that?

 

[Unorth]

The Petracca situation sounds untenable, contract be damned.

The dees would be desperate to pivot this into a star key forward. Naughton, McKay…

they will probably get Jack Darling

He was at the front of the cue of Melbourne tools after they won the 2021 flag.

Apparently McKay has no interest in joining Melbourne

Dees cling to hope as Petracca situation goes from weird to worse

With everyone jumping off the sinking ship, why would Mckay or Naughton take their seat?

Naughton wouldn't want to go there.

Even Houston said thanks but no thanks to Melbourne

 

[TiAn_]

Naughts is still only 24. Petracca is only like a month younger than Bont.

I’d rather see Naughts kick another 300 odd goals for us and have our forward line set for the next 5 years than see 80 odd games of Chef Petracca doing his football side-hustle with us.

 

[stefoid]

The look on Bevos face while butters spoke about the dogs at AA awards

Almost shed a tear and said ‘just get him here’ I think

I looked up butters speech - is this the one?

butters aa speech - Google Search

 

[VitalDread]

If I'm Melbourne
I'm going after Darcy instead of Naughton

Naughton is more than likely the next captain after Bont.

Trading out those sort of guys are simply a no-go.

Richards as captain before Naughts, I reckon

 

[Angak]

Richards as captain before Naughts, I reckon

The succussion plan is in place for Naughton to take over

 

[Here we go dogs]

Naughton seems very important to the culture. No way would I support trading him out.

The bounty would be ****ing huge if he went after signing a 8 year deal.

I expect Melbourne to offer obscene money to a player to save face in this debacle.

No idea who they could pursue to come. Cadman might be an option if keen on a forward and he gets dropped for finals. Reckon a midfielder is a bigger priority of Petracca goes.

 

[Cudi]

Trading Naughton, probably the most loved team mate and next captain who just committed to the club would lose half if not the whole locker room.

It's not like a 2K video game, there are so many more elements than just a fit on the field.

 

[ossie_21]

It appears the drug culture at Melbourne extends to the list managers office.

 

[Cudi]

You could probably say goodbye to Marra if the Dogs actively traded out Naughton. Stable ponies.

Yeah Marra is out of contract again in 2 years, imagine the negotiations if we booted Naughton.

Hey Marra can you sign this 7-8 year contract and commit to the club like your best mate just did! Just ignore the fact he's not here anymore and only lasted 1 year of it.

This is from a Mick Warner piece and thought the third paragraph here was more than a little threatening
