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

[Munnez]

I agree but I'm trying to think of what's realistic and they'll move heaven and earth to not send two firsts with nothing back

If they MUST have something back F3 and that's generous for what they are getting

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Land being the key word here

 

[W W Biscuit]

Desperately hoping that the club reads the room with the Smith trade re. the sentiment that is being expressed by so many supporters on this forum. Me included. Stuff pragmatism. This is existential, line in the sand stuff. The narrative may or may not change for us if we take a stand, but it sure as hell won't if we just bend over like we always seem to do.

 

[glenashley]

Here come the media hacks telling us to take what we are given.

We need to look at this in the context of a potential JUH trade request in the near future.

I'm happy to send the PSD message.

 

[glenashley]

What happens if he puts a price on he’s head and refuses to play for anyone other then Geelong

I reckon the tigers plus a few others would be able to afford any price, especially with some cap being freed up with senior players moving on.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Who is going to take one for the team and level Kardinia Park ‘Dark Knight Rises’ style? Or better yet tactical nuke the polar ice caps and make the coastline a thing of the past.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I never understand that theory. Does that mean every out of contract player should go for a 2nd round pick simply because they are out of contract?

Unless they play for a big club then it's full tote odds.

 

[Munnez]

It definitely time to ‘Be more Bulldog’ and not get dudded here. Richmond or North can have him for free rather than a poor deal from a rival.

agree fair deal or take your chances PSD need to call players bluff. Rather make a stand and get nothing than strengthen a contender for peanuts

 

[Doggy Dan]

Pretty simple in my opinion. Tell them it’s this year and next years first for Bailey and next years second or Bailey goes to PSD. That’s it, don’t entertain any other options or offers. State your position, be resolute, don’t engage in further chat and let them make the call.

 

[Munnez]

Geelong don't have good enough picks on their own do get it done but they do have Max Holmes and Sam deKonning, either of which would fit seamlessly into the Dogs top 22

Don't care how they manage it just want a reasonable level of compensation either a player in position of need I.e. Holmes or trade a player to get the required picks or use Future picks.
Paying Smith a premium pay a reasonable price

 

[bobs head soup]

If Baz to Geelong has been in the offing for 18 months as has been suggested, surely the Cotton On arrangement has to be scrutinized.

Looking back at those crappy shirts he 'designed', a lot of them just happen to be in navy and white.

Taking the piss really.

Joke of a comp and salary cap system will let it slide.

 

[CarnTheScray]

According to Sam Edmund and co. Cats can drag out a Ratugolea deal to the last minute to try and get good compensation and they are within their right to do so. But the Bulldogs must bend over and say thank you.

 

[Ash1337]

This time around Dogs have Egan to help discuss a deal with Geelong. It's not just Power & Grant anymore.

 

[Munnez]

Trade: Smith, Macrae.

Keep: Garcia, Daniel

Delist: Keath

Rather trade Daniel and hang onto Macrae but agree with the premise

 

[Bulldogs85]

Geelong’s first round pick won’t cut it Morris

Someone mentioned that they were hoping for a F1 so that we can death-ride the Cats next year. Hey, I'll be death-riding them anyway, purely because I wish neither them nor Smith any success at all in the future. Now that we know the reasons for Smith's departure, that is. And that's if I even bother to watch AFL football. Some others might feel the same, but I am genuinely reaching a tipping point as to whether or not I'll be invested going forward. I hate the way that this game is run. Hate it. It's only the historical love for my working-class football team that keeps me interested. The AFL insults so much of what I stand for more broadly.

Well the meedya can GAGF'D don't care what they think is FAIR want decent compensation or happy to take a stand and let him land at the Tigers they are a big club just down on their luck atm

If we're only offered crap picks, it may save us from poor offers in the future anyway if we reject something well below market value and send Baz to the ND/PSD.

the Dunkley trade happened because Brisb traded out anything of value in poor faith and we buckled late because it would have looked bad to deny Dunks a trade after the Essendon one fell through.

this is different. no reason to avoid the PSD if Geelong intend to low ball it. Power wont get overs, but he'll get a fair deal

 

[Bulldogs85]

Geelong’s First Round pick won’t be enough Morris

 

[_Mike_]

Would happily march Baz to the PSD if the only other option is getting well unders from Geelong.

These situations are difficult because you’re damned if you do and dammed if you don’t.

Getting a poor offer in contrast to getting nothing for him going to the PSD is not ideal.

 

[Munnez]

Any reason Jack Macrae can’t settle out on the opposite wing to Bailey Williams?

Yes he doesn't have enough pace to close quickly. Becomes the first breakdown in overlap running

 

[Munnez]

when was the last time someone of high talent or valued in high draft picks walked to the PSD because clubs couldn't get a deal done?

Nick Stevens at Port

 

[_Mike_]

Any reason Jack Macrae can’t settle out on the opposite wing to Bailey Williams?

Macrae’s lost his leg speed. I doubt he’d be able to maintain that pace like he could 8 years ago

 

[Doggies_13]

Here come the media hacks telling us to take what we are given.

Isn’t this the same bloke that’s been spewing out west coast should give pick 3 for Baker and that Rioli to Gold Coast for pick 6 and 20.

Yet dogs should lay down and take Geelongs first which will be lucky to be before 20
