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

With Sam Power stating that he’s talking to a bunch of clubs trying to get into the first round with our f1, what are the chances Essendon get involved?

Geelong’s first (20) + our f1 for pick 9.

They have Kako, and he’s looking like he may be bid on before 9.

I'm not keen on that. Happy to try and bring our F1 into this year, but would want us taking 2 picks not combining them into one/pick 9

Yeah it’s probably overs. I wonder if we can get that bombers pick 9 (which will blow out to 11-12) without using Geelong’s pick.

We aren't sending him to the draft, nor do we need to. Geelong will cough up their first plus something. The draft threat is hollow. Geelong also know they courted him and have to pay something fair (not "bulldog's supporter fair") otherwise future players won't want to nominate them.

People like to say use the fact that players never get walked to the draft as evidence that the draft threat is hollow but it works both ways, if being out of contract actually made such a big difference we wouldn’t see clubs regularly playing very close to full value for out of contract players.

The threat of letting a player go to the draft is a viable negotiation tactic to hold the buying club to what he’s worth and trading back into a pick somewhere in the teens ahead of Geelongs pick only strengthens that leverage.

Lol Morris and hannebury whinging that power wouldnt give them anything compared to Carltanks list manager

Yep, and it's clear that the draft threat actually works when teams are requesting trades to bottom teams on the ladder, such as Dawson to Sydney (went for only pick 18, because Adelaide could take him with pick 1 in the PSD).

The fact that Adelaide paid anything at all for Dawson for a player they could have taken just with pick 1 proves how much clubs are willing to avoid the ickiness of players being redrafted, if anything.

Nice of Hannebery to take a break from whinging about the 2016 grand final to focus on something else to whinge about.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Good list management IMO.

We have a glaring deficiency in players named after English counties, and with Keath's likely departure, a deficiency in a player with 'x' in their names.

So Devon Robertson and Xavier O'halloran make sense.

If only there was a gun young wing in the draft called Essex, we wouldn't need the other two!

 

[PocketRocket08]

I wonder if he’s waiting on CD’s decision

CD isn’t leaving and i expect Garcia to stay now that Joe Richards has chosen power.

 

[King Harold]

By the sounds of the trade radio, we aren't letting Daniel and Macrae go for nothing. They even suggested the pick in the 40s wouldn't do it. Might be an interesting couple of weeks.

On SM-G990E using BigFooty.com mobile app

In the end they will do the trade for Macrae.
He’s a good get for them.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

For anyone that has missed it

“Thanks for joining us Sam. What would you like to share about the Bulldogs trade plans this year?”

…………..

 

[Philthy1]

For anyone that has missed it

Go Sammy Power! he might as well just said JSTFU, you aint part of the deal making.

[adogsfan5]

I feel like we’re one of the few clubs who refuse to delve into any information if it’s a contracted player?
I do remember someone mentioning Bevo won’t even meet with anyone in the middle of the season.

 

[El Rancho]

There is nothing that he has produced at AFL level to suggest anyone offer him a 4 year deal very worrying indeed

This was also the case for Gardy, but yet.........

 

[Foxman98]

You're making the point,

It's the same with 2 year deals for Scott Baker ect it's our biggest issue list management wise

 

[NthBondiDoggies]

I expect Sam will first try and get other clubs who want our players to solve our problems. Ie he could be signalling thinks like:

- We want to be in top 15 of the draft this year. So if you want Smith take your first round and something like a F2 and get us pick 13 from the GC

- Find a way to turn Smith into Houston - we have said we are interested in him.

- Geelon On - we might consider pick 17 plus XOH - so got get him.

- Or trade SDK (not a need but a clear best 22 for a clear best 22). Some forget that a fit Smith doesn’t play VFL for us.

- If you want Macrae St’s - either get us a second rounder or a third and a player like XOH

- If you want Caleb D - get us into the second round.

Other than Houston - I think the only interest we have expressed is in Houston - so that sounds like Sam is looking for a first and another second round in the draft. In the draft thread you can see very good players up to pick 40 in this years draft - today we have one pick and will miss out - addressing this would be top of his list and he is letting everyone know what he wants and the he has a star player and two AAs as collateral.

Go Sammy!

I agree with you mate. Some very dubious list calls right there

Sam is a lawyer by trade.

Morris and Hannebery are oceans out of their depth

 

[Foxman98]

Could be a handy wing option

 

[dergert]

Sharp spent a bit of time in one of our academies didn't he

 

[Doggies7]

Ooh I wouldn't mind Sharp as a young developing Wing / HBF option. Elite runner + endurance player who gives us another option at a position of need, likely a bit more future upside.

 

[VitalDread]

He was part of our un15's Bulldogs Acadmey team which was the naming rights for the GWV Rebels team at the time
