Yeah the middle eastern gang scene is much more ‘popping’ out that way.

[Bonty4]

Unfortunately a good get for them

If its on a continual 1 yr deal

 

[SweatOnMySkin]

Oliver to Geelong is the doorway that opens up an SDK trade for those who are hoping for that. Would be their only way to remotely get something done for them.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Lol Geelong keen on Clayton Oliver.

Can Melbourne un-retire Hunter and send him as part of the package?

Time to blow the doors off Geelong, and Smith, Oliver and Hunter are the men to get it done.

 

[Graeme Cook]

Genuinely believe the thing holding us back is our form at our ‘home ground’ Marvel. Has been pretty poor in the past few seasons.

Does anyone know the dimensions of Whitten Oval in comparison? Desperately need to figure out how to take advantage of our home games.

If Collingwood land Peatling and XOH stays at Giants I really fear for our prospects in this trade period. Considering scratching my eyes out so I don’t have to worry about it.

Whitten oval had been the same size as Marvel for 7 years.

Oliver to Geelong is the doorway that opens up an SDK trade for those who are hoping for that. Would be their only way to remotely get something done for them.

Nah Oliver is damaged goods right now and value is low. He's on a high contract too. A 2nd round pick is the most a team will give for Oliver.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Yeah Oliver is a salary and culture dump. Hugely reduced trade value now imo.

 

[ScragCity]

Butters would be a good get

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Since 2016 I would take Ports record over ours anytime

You can't say - if you remove our premiership I prefer their record haha

But on the flip side I think Hinkley's record is pretty good. Their list isn't great other than their midfield and half backs.

 

[ab_83]

Yeah Oliver is a salary and culture dump. Hugely reduced trade value now imo.

Geelong can turn his life around just kike Jack Steven

 

[Doggy]

Yeah Oliver is a salary and culture dump. Hugely reduced trade value now imo.

Maybe, but he doesn't come with no salary.

It will still be high, they can't afford everyone

 

[Mojorisin]

Butters would be a good get

I'm not sold, rather we didn't go after more fringe types Scrag.

 

[RWnBluey]

Stengal, Oliver, and Smith walk into a bar…

 

[Dogs Rule]

Lol Geelong keen on Clayton Oliver.

Of course. Not sure how good he'll look in Cotton On, so maybe a pub is more his go...

 

[PocketRocket08]

Doggies are trying to lure Bob Murphy back to Whitten Oval. Whatever role he takes up will be worked around his media commitments (radio, etc.)

Dogs hoping club great will Bob up again at the Kennel

After three years at Fremantle Bob Murphy is returning to Melbourne, with the Western Bulldogs keen to lure him home

www.afl.com.au

just what we need. mr woke

 

[Northern Dogs]

Stengal, Oliver, and Smith walk into a bar…

Hopefully it's a very thick iron bar.

 

[PocketRocket08]

where is Riley Garcia at? i have a feeling he will stay now. Mcqualter may bring a few of those small tigers baker graham and even Bolton is a good chance.

****….what are we doing wasting our time with Bevo?

Ameet, if you are lurking here, get Kenny’s manager on the phone, it’s a no brainer….this joint will go off

Send Jake and un retire Luke Dal too

Those nightclubs down there will be like the glory days of Melbourne in the 90s….drink cards galore

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Peatling is 24 and played 45 games with a large number as sub XOH is 24 and played 67 they may or may not upgrade out B22 but the reality is the difference they’d make isn’t going to be that significant to pretend we should call the period a “disaster” they’re C graders at best

Quoting the word disaster makes zero sense as that’s far from what was said.

I did however say I fear for our trade prospects, as we’ve been linked to very little outside of those two players. Especially considering we have the tendency of picking up more ‘out of favour’ types in recent years and giving games immediately.

Peatling and XOH played important roles this year - 19 games each in a top 4 team who is actively trying to retain them both. It would be negligent to think they wouldn’t improve our team.

If you want to rely on natural progression alone then that’s fine, it’ll certainly be an important factor in our season, but I would like to see the club replace the likely departures of Macrae and CD with players more suited to the modern game.
