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

[threenewpadlocks]

We are 10000% not going to do that.

The idea is to pretend that we are, so the Cats will offer more in a trade

 

[Norm De Guerre]

We are 10000% not going to do that.

For the same reason that no other club will draft him if we are dumb enough to walk him to the PSD/ND.

I said weeks ago that the result remains the same.

He ends up at Geelong. We end up with our dicks in our hands.

Paul Conners doesn't have man boobs. He has actual boobs!

 

[yebach]

Is Connors the same sh!t stain that managed Stringer when he wanted out?

 

[Dog 36]

I wonder what favours the AFL can do with our draw for assisting in the climax of trading period.

Surely the club can ask for a favour back

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Is Connors the same sh!t stain that managed Stringer when he wanted out?

Yes but we did ourselves no favours via Bevo on that one

 

[manutd/dogs]

Connors gives me Shrek vibes, but not in a likeable way. He's like that entitled stereotypical high school football bully now gone to pasture.

 

[Doggies7]

I wish I could read lips

 

[Ash1337]

In the Dunkley trade Pickering was the mediator for Lions.

 

[Merlins Revenge]

At this point I’ll trade a pick just so Smith doesn’t end up at Geelong

 

[0utsider]

Trading back in to take Smith seems like an infinitely worse result than just letting him go for unders tbh (or letting him walk to draft and getting nothing).

Bailey Smith is a culturally stain on our club. Management and the playing group will be glad to see the back of him after the way he's carried on this year. The last thing we'd look to do is draft him back

Besides a public image of being a show pony what specifically has he done to make him a cultural stain on the club?

From all reports he’s extremely professional when it comes to footy and prep and I find it hard to believe he’d let himself wither away in the twos rather than show up, lace up his boots and get to work.

Exactly

 

[Dogsman16]

When does Cotton on call Mackie and ask him to offer more?

 

[Marsy]

Is that Laura Kane? Who is she winking at? Not the time to be caught flirting with people on camera.

 

[Dogs Rule]

All player managers are c***heads.

All of them.

and Mackie both left their rooms

 

[Marsy]

Both Mackie and Power have left their rooms…

 

[cleveland]

Connors giving it to Mackie

Would have loved to hear what was said.

Like Mofra's bottom 50, there's a penalty for being too hip/young/showy. And it's never fun when a player rejects our club and wants to go somewhere else. He's also a young player with some obvious mental health problems, gee fame can be a blessing and a curse.

Some of the commentary about him is ridiculous. He's 50 minutes from being an ex-player, we should all move on with our lives and look forward to enjoying years of Darcy, Jamarra, the golden Bont years etc etc.

Skipping out on various community events he'd committed to.
Skipping various club events for no particular reason.
Skipping the best and fairest, AND announcing his trade request to Geelong an hour before it to bring the attention back on himself.
Announcing he's "outgrown" the club.

He's burned as many bridges as he can really. Hasn't remotely put in the effort required from a professional footballer. Compare him to Dunkley who was the ultimate professional, despite having a previous failed trade request

 

[Scottish Bob]

When does Cotton on call Mackie and ask him to offer more?

I reckon that’s why Hocking is there now!

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I'm prepped for disappointment, let's go

 

[dogwatch]

how is nothing getting done like does the AFL tell them oh yea wait til the last hour?

Action day and only two deals have been posted on trade tracker for the whole day. Those two trades were always going through and were common knowledge all week.
