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

[Ash1337]

So Dons are after a pick in the 40s
35 & 48 For XOH 53 & 56 might be on offer

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Please find me a positive?

Bramble recruited as a DFA and finished 7th in the B&F

Jones recruited as a UFA a couple years back and finished 4th in the B&F

Freijah recruited with Pick 45 and already establishing himself as a best 22 player

 

[Rookie]

Bailey Sniff to the draft

Nahhh

Too risky for Geelong

They know they have to pay more, Bailey's manager knows they have to pay more.

Lots of theatre to keep us hooked, but this gets done no worries.

 

[ArNcHiSe]

Criticism is fine, but apparently the club is just constantly s***

From 2017 onwards it pretty much has been.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Apparently every player moving clubs is part of one single MEGA trade.

So nothing will happen until 7:29pm.

I suggest everyone log off until then.

 

[Foxman98]

Could've sworn we made a GF since then

 

[El Rancho]

From 2017 onwards it pretty much has been.

So making the GF in 2021 is a sign of sh1tness?

WOW

 

[AFDogs]

Remember that trade period a few years ago we kept a wantaway Dunkley and somehow managed to recruit Treloar as well? I miss those days.

Adam Cooney has taken Dillon hostage and has said only Mega trades are allowed and he has to tick them off for stupidity for it to be approved

That's one of the most believable rumours I've read on BF in weeks!

 

[stefoid]

So we might end up trading whatever we get for Macrae and Daniel(s) -> Kennedy and XOH

From a list management perspective, the INs are younger than the OUTs and we save what? A million per year over the next 2-3 years?

I mean, yeah, OK. The coaches input here is the main thing -> there is not much use having highly paid players in the VFL most weeks and then retiring at the end of their contracts. Not good for the club or for those players

Would rather take 25 to the draft and get XOH for **** all next year

 

[geoffjennings79]

Remember the Rocket and Plough eras. We couldn't get past prelims, but man we were exciting to watch... until the prelims. ☹

WOW

What about 2017? 2018? 2019? 2020? 2021 Grand Final itself? 2022? 2023? 2024?

 

[Jen Geoffings]

I prefer winter

Stacks up.

 

[El Rancho]

What about 2017? 2018? 2019? 2020? 2021 Grand Final itself? 2022? 2023? 2024?

What do you define as sh1t then?
Not making finals?
Not wining the flag? You do realise that we have a 1 in 18 chance every year right.

We have played in the finals in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024. I reckon North fans would love that but we are really sh1t

 

[stefoid]

well, maybe. Wouldnt have a clue about the quality of the draft at that pick, and also know f'all about XOH.

I presume if we are prepared to pay 25 for him, (with perhaps something a little later coming back), then he will be given a good run next year, perhaps instead of one of the 'the usual suspects' as a small forward.

We generally give players we trade in enough games to prove they arent worthy than the other way around.

 

[Dav1d]

I’m stoked if we get a player from the Western Jets in XOH
Just get Rayner next year ..

 

[Foxman98]

What about 2017? 2018? 2019? 2020? 2021 Grand Final itself? 2022? 2023? 2024?

17/18 we were rebuilding 19/20 finding our feet/Covid GF was fine until the last quarter where they ran out of legs due to ridiculous travel 22/23 poor 24 fine until poor final

 

[geoffjennings79]

If we were sh1t for 8 seasons, I wonder what some other clubs were, like North, Saints, recent Eagles...?

 

[lachy]

So making the GF in 2021 is a sign of sh1tness?

WOW

Ignoring the post you were replying to in the last 10 seasons:
Richmond have won 3 flags
The following have won 1 flag
Hawthorn
Western Bulldogs (Plus a GF)
Melbourne
Geelong (Plus a GF)
West Coast
Collingwood (Plus a GF)
Brisbane

So in a highly competitive Draft/Trade of players and picks across a couple of seasons Salary cap league of 18 teams we are one of 3 teams who have one a Premiership and made a Grand Final and one of 8 who have won a Premiership.

Yeah we are shyte, like 17 other teams other than the Tiges, just mildly less shyte than the 10 clubs who have won squat

 

[Dogs Rule]

I look forward to you changing your mind and agreeing with me in 12 months. And frothing worse than I ever have.

How many times have you called for the coach to be sacked now?

Nah.

Plenty of times I've wanted us to move on from the coach, but I have a say and move on.

I can't be bothered bitching and moaning about every move the club makes, it exhausting. When the season is done, hope is restored again. Every year.

To me, following the club and the game is an escape, it's not something which makes me miserable. If it was, I wouldn't bother with the club or the game. It is a game, a game. A game that should be give people joy. Ups and downs, yes, but joy.

Life is too short. So what will be will be today.

 

[Trent85]

You mean this bloke? Now I think you are talking crap (pun intended)

Look how he dodges a block and gets the pill..

The guy is elite.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Only 277 minutes left... then... KABOOM!

 

[adogsfan5]

I won’t be happy if we get 25 for Daniel and then trade that for XOH.
