No thanks, would much rather draft picks. There’s no gettable Geelong player that we’d need.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

You’d assume its throwaway players in the Dean Gore/Cooper Stephens mould

Ted Clohesy?

If we want anything approaching fair value from the hand we have been dealt in the Smith trade then this is one way of going about it.

Even if it doesn't come off sniffing around Geelongs players does put some level of pressure on them to cough up.

Good strategy in the circumstances

I was big on Kai Lohmann instead of some combination of Brisbane's picks. Can see why Brisbane didn't want to give up the element of certainty that they had a talent on their hands, rather than the possibility of one with a pick (which in turn got us Clarke which of course Lohmann is an upgrade on)

 

[Doggies7]

Draft watchers constantly raving about the depth of this draft and especially the quality in the teens - out to the 20s. That pick 15/16 from Geelong is looking pretty tasty, I still it probably ends up as pick 16/future 2nd plus maybe sweetener when all is said and done, we'll see, but I'm happy to get back into the 1st round of this draft as part of it...

Yes please do

I thought Lohmann was dumb for wanting to stay and thinking he could earn a spot in that Lions best 22 instead of coming back to Victoria, because it didn't look like it. Credit to him though, has improved a ton and done just that...

I guess Dev Robertson is the other side of that coin, could have taken a big contract from the Eagles or Freo and played a ton of games this season.

A few of us that wanted him got hounded on here because he was a dud.

You hear this every year though and by definition it has to be relative.

You rarely if ever hear "this drag has no depth and pick 15 is useless".

Even to that, the eventual, career output of a given draft never truly lines up with what they were saying before it, either.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

The lions will need to let a few go who have not played much this season. I know the Irishman James Madden is super quick and being late to the game may have a big upside. Not sure he is available nut but could be exactly what we need.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Ted Clohesy?

For an opposition view if the cats were willing to throw up anyone its probably either clohesy or knevitt (although both are locals who are close with our other geelong guys they are expendable on field wise). Anyone else you would likely ask for is less likely to be willing to go.

 

[VitalDread]

Not sure on names but Dogs are viewing this chance to bring in young talent and experience

As Geelong aren't moving on their pick offers ATM

Obs it's a very early trade talks ATM but Dogs are being aggressive in what they are asking for this time around

With Geelong wooing Smith over the last two years, they are using that against Geelong in early talks apparently

 

[VitalDread]

Edit: This isn't from my usual Bevo not being fired source

Is this actually a bad thing? I would have thought lots of clubs do this no?

 

[adogsfan5]

My guesses would be Knevitt, Clark, O’Sullivan, Stephens, De Koning.

 

[Bulldogs85]

My guesses would be Knevitt, Clark, O’Sullivan, Stephens, De Koning.

Can rule out De Koning and O’Sullivan Geelong wouldn’t even think about trading them

 

[F6Typhoon]

Yep let's hope the forward structure will work in the future The current Bulldogs forward coach who never actually played the majority as a forward and kicked a total of 13 goals in his career

Wonder if Fev would entertain coaching our forwards for a slab or 2?

Any idea on Geelong’s current pick offers?

I don't have the exact offer but dogs don't like it

 

[Munnez]

I don't have the exact offer but dogs don't like it

If Mackie has anything to do with it, it's likely this year's 1st take it and be satisfied
