Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[0utsider]

Carltank supporters demanding pick 32 (which we don't even have yet and may not even get) for Kennedy.

For a guy they are actually pushing out

They’re entitled to set whatever they want as an asking price, just like we’re entitled to say no thanks.

 

[ArNcHiSe]

A deal will get done for Smith today, Geelong can’t afford to damage their reputation as difficult and stubborn it would put off other clubs and importantly players who don’t want to see their former club not fairly compensated. Not all players are self centred like Smith.

Connors on the other hand has a duty of trying to help his client get to the club he wants to go to, and this means putting pressure on Geelong to get the deal done, not kick the Bulldogs. Sooner or later he will have a client that needs a club, and might find the Bulldogs don’t answer his calls.

The only people who care about “reputation” during trade week are fans. Clubs do not give a shit.

Looks like we will be using whatever draft capital we get from Macrae on Kennedy.

Yuck

Take it we are only getting the pick in the 40s then?

Swapping a player Bevo won’t pick for a very similar player he will pick every week because it’s a new toy…….

At least he’s half the price.

So sorry Jack - appreciate everything you’ve done xx

They're not similar at all Macrae is slow accumulator with class Kennedy is big contested bull who can take a grab

 

[Mofra]

Anyone shit canning Kennedy hasn’t watched a lot of Carlton play. He is very much best 22 for them and fills a much needed role for us, will easily cement a best 22 slot in our midfield if we are down Macrae and Caleb.

I'm still unsure but Carlton fans universally love him which is a tick.

Of course clubs give a shit about reputation. Probably more so than us supporters.

Who do you think wants Smith sent to the draft more out of us and the club?
That’s because reputation means more to them than us.

 

[Testekill]

We probably start managing Libba next year by not bringing him interstate or resting him for games where opponent aren't very strong at clearances. That in itself is why Kennedy is appealing, so that we can bring a big bodied mid that likes to tackle.

Always other pieces involves like F4s but as of last night it was sitting at
pick 32 to Blues
Macrae and 63 to Saints
Kennedy to Dogs

 

[CarnTheScray]

Is it? It took their fans half a decade to consider that maybe Paddy Dow might not make it at AFL level.

Of course, Kennedy is a far better player but I do not think the blessing of Carlton fans means anything.

That's a bit gross

Slight overs but not outrageous fills a need

Geez Dogs way to ruin my optimism of the Kennedy deal.

I bloody hope not

 

[Foxman98]

As long as whenever we play the hawks Kennedy goes to Newcombe so we don't get bullied by him for the 3rd year running I am happy

 

[Doggy]

If we assume what we get for Macrae pays for Kennedy ... it seems all we have for the draft is 17 which becomes a pick in the 20s (assuming Sniff gets traded) and maybe pick 25 from Norf if we also give up 48 in that.

That isn't much of a draft hand

We will have 17 25 35 + probably an F2 for Smith

Exactly. Libba is getting old and his knees are ****ed - we can't take it for granted that he will be a significant contributor next year and beyond.

Ah yes. I forgot about 35.

Play on

Gross. I hope when it hit a snag is that dogs wanted 48 from the deal and got it.

He's also 1 more head knock away from who knows what as well
