Dodo would be thinking in bed right now how to get the SSS's lols

I’m over this trade/free agent period already, it’s been a week and we haven’t had anymore players nominate us.

I’ve been refreshing my browser every 15 seconds waiting for that Nat Edwards to give me some good news that Rory Sloane, Dylan Shiel, Josh Kelly and Nat Fyfe are all coming to the dons for a ripper once in a lifetime deal. Trading out Howlett, Colyer, Kyle Reimers, Courtney Johns and a 4th round pick.

****in’ dodo

 

[Knight Ryders]

I really rate Devon Smith, he could be a fantastic addition to our forward and midfield mix. My only concern is that McGrath, Zerrett, Zaka and Devon are all smallish. However, what running power particularly when you chuck in our half back line.

I'm looking forward to the post season trade rankings thread. It could be something like this:

Rankings
SSS - Essendon
A - Gold Coast, Carlton
B - Geelong, GWS
C - Western Bulldogs
D - North Melbourne

Note: I didn't care at all about the other teams so the rankings are completely made up - they were put in for perspective as to just how awesome we truly are.

Saad off hbf could be deadly with McKenna. Could be the best line breaker combo I’d swap 2 & 3

All you have to do is give Gold Coast a fair deal and then he is all yours. Simple. Offer someone who can get a game in your best 22 (not Colyer, Bird, Francis, or any of the others mentioned here). If you want your three SSS, give someone up.

Actually, you're a nobody on the internet, you have zero idea of what is required in any AFL trade deal.

 

[hotkorma]

I feel like trade week should be an extra week or two. Maybe even extend it all the way through until the drafts. Not enough melting imo

Colyer has been getting games for us.

I hope you're not here just to pick a fight with the locals. If you are it won't end well for you.

Bit out of the context of the conversation. But this is great you must have a simple solution then. Please go on.

Hey baby xo

It costs them a pick next year, but they make it up this year by getting our 30. It's basically pick-swapping the 2nd rounder from next year to this year.

So from the Dogs' perspective it's basically: proposed trade (2017: 9, 11, 27, 30 | 2018: F/S using WB 2nd + Ess 2nd) vs. Stringer for 11 straight up (2017: 9, 11, 27 | 2018: WB 1st (to be used on F/S), WB 2nd)

Are you saying that the Dogs use two second round picks for West? Why would they go for that?

Ha ha. I disagree, I am a huge on Cam 4.

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

Agreed. Personally I'd take S, then S and then see what we've got left to get S.

Who in their right mind would take your first S before your second S!

Why? These deals more than likely get done with just draft picks getting flipped around if your mob take their heads out of their collective arses.

Being new to BigFooty, i just learned that trying to have discussions on opposition supporter boards is.... difficult.

 

[Lore]

So the club has been posting 'trade talk' articles each day, which are basically just summaries of all the bullshit from trade radio in as few words as possible.

Apparently there is only one talking point for Essendon today.

Essendon isn't the only club that has shown interest in Western Bulldogs player Jake Stringer.

Geelong has also explored recruiting the premiership player.

But list manager Stephen Wells says it's unlikely the Cats will be able to secure him

(and then some quotes from Wells on TR)

Depends how you come across. Show some courtesy and have a decent convo and you should be fine. I don’t mind opposition coming over here if they want to have a intelligent conversation

Yeah opposition boards are often wary of supporters from other clubs.

It doesn’t help if you behave like a ********er when visiting their board (take note bulldogs fans).

Yeah I was probably a little critical. Lesson learned

What are you talking about? That is revolutionary journalism if I’ve ever seen it.

Trade week has this amazing ability to create such noise about literally nothing. I’m not even mad.

At the end of the day it's their board, their rules, and their posters get more leeway. The best chance you'll have is to be sweet and reasonable, but even then you'll probably need a thick skin. Or you can take the easy option and just bunker down in the Essendon board

Oh yeah, it's definitely refreshing. I just found the simplicity humorous compared to the 395 posts worth of stuff in this thread since 6.30 this morning.

Stringer will not play for the dogs but looking very likely he will sit the year out.

Interesting. 24 hours ago we had your fellow bulldogs supporters in here telling us that was garbage.

 

[The Dustbin]

They are very unlikely to get done buddy. Saad and Smith are really any clubs. Stringer the most likely to end up at Essendon but he has not even nominated them. Bluff from Dodero could prove very costly here, needs to show some balls and get at least one of the players quickly. Stringer will not play for the dogs but looking very likely he will sit the year out.

Thanks for that buddy.
