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

[grassman75]

I've been wondering lately...

How would the Cats' recruiting "strategies" change if the owners of Cotton On were made a godfather offer from an international company that had no interest in Australian sporting teams/clubs?

Would be fun viewing, I'd think

Forget that….Mission can buy the pissant company

His brand is comprised 95% of teens who don't move the needle when it comes to anything really.

I don’t know, but there are a lot of Dogs fans and fans of other clubs openly stating what a w***er he is after what’s gone down so far….that needle is moving

ROOS' PLAY FOR DANIEL​

NORTH Melbourne's pick No. 25 could pave the way for Caleb Daniel to land at Arden Street by the end of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.

The Kangaroos offered the second-round pick to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for Daniel and pick No. 48 late last week, but that offer was rejected by Sam Power

Daniel hasn't requested a move to North Melbourne and isn’t expected to formally submit a request, but is interested in a fresh start at the Kangaroos.

The 28-year-old has two years to run on the four-year contract extension he signed in 2022, but was squeezed out of Luke Beveridge's side at times in 2024.

Daniel played eight games for Footscray across two four-game stints in the VFL, while also starting as sub seven times at AFL level, as well as being subbed out of one game.

Bailey Smith and Jack Macrae have both officially requested trades out of the Whitten Oval and the Bulldogs are reluctant to let all three depart in the same window, but will consider a compelling offer for the South Australian. Pick No.25 alone would be considered compelling.

Sydney has been eyeing pick No.25 for Luke Parker after the former Swans skipper requested a move to North Melbourne. The Kangaroos have tabled pick No.62. North Melbourne has maintained strong interest in Daniel and could eventually be prepared to part with pick No.25 for the 2020 All-Australian.

Yep we need to start trading players before they are out of contract. It has blown up in our face twice now with Dunkley and now smith . The signs were there with smith last year we should have traded him. Once a player is out of contract the team trading them is fkd under the current system

We hung onto Dunkley and were 18 points up close to 3/4 time in the 2021 Grand Final… He was a key player that year in getting us to that stage so it was 100% the right move to hang onto him… it’s easy in hindsight to make calls like this but Smith was primed for a huge year this year and might have been the difference in us winning a few more games and possibly a flag. He did his knee so we couldn’t make home fall in love with the Bulldogs again. Swings and round-a-bouts

Not really fussed if we missed out on XOH

 

[Philthy1]

I think with Power & Dogs keeping media in the dark all that is coming out is info from other clubs about dogs. I'm hoping a for a surprise tomorrow.

Do you know something or are you speculating?

Classic triple h!

Geelong have not lost a player that they have wanted to keep since 2016 when Cotton On became their major sponsor. The Kelly trade was abased on compassionate grounds. Recruiting meetings are held in the Cotton On boardroom. There is a landscaping company that has the contract for Cotton On and they maintain the farms of 5 or so Cats players for free which is worth $150/200k per year. There has been several instances of cats players selling their houses for a million over reserve to people with links to Geelong and Cotton On. Add to that the well known property deals offered to players just before favourable rezoning is announced….
It will come out eventually but it will take a journo with some investigating skills and a determination to expose this cheating bullshit.

With all this being the case, you’d think they’d have the means to build a proper shaped ground and fix their mud pie of a surface.

No way we get 25 outright

It is Norf

I'll die on a hill saying the semi final and prelim from Smith is a complete outlier.

Since the suspension he hasn't been the same player. So unless he has somehow fixed his abominable kicking. He will never be much more than a hard running one way turnover merchant.

He is young enough he could fix it up but on the evidence presented that is far from a given. Solid player without being a star unless he improves his kicking.

I think next year he's more valuable to the Giants than he is to us.

For all the talk of players they're losing...

Perryman
Cumming
Peatling
Maybe Derksen


It's not really an inspiring list. It's fairly overplayed. The top 2 were 2 of the most overrated players at the plastics.

They killed it with compensation picks. A joke.

Exactly They have lost a few players in this trade period

Perryman and Cumming are good when fit.
Derksen like XOH will have to wait another year.

Apparently they are holding onto Derksen

Would we even be interested next year in XOH

Depends how he goes next year and how our half forwards go but I bet we would go again.

 

[Doggy]

Of course they are... a guy who hasn't played in 2.5 years and they have no plans to play

 

[Bulldogs85]

XOH cost much in trade value since he will be out of contract at the end of next year.

Power of the contract Derksen will be ok he will have to wait until next year

Power of the contract...

The dogs aren't allowed to hold onto any player who is in contract who might want to go elsewhere ...

As we are seeing with Smith being out of contract has a significant impact on trade value.

Mainly if you are dealing with Ass Clowns like Mackie
