Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VI

[faible]

What a dull day of trades. Sam Lloyd to Bulldogs is the only one that's done.

Neale to Brisbane getting done might see a whole heap of other trades fall in to line.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Barrett:
"theres a sense Essendon are going back to what Essendon traditionally do, low balling, being hard to deal with"

You can sense the prick gets his giggles labling us as “hard to deal with”

Sam Lloyd that’s really scraping at the bottom of the barrel

Disagree, decent player, far from bottom of the barrel.

Dodoro pushing this out so he can get TV time on Wednesday.

Dodoro pushing this out so he can get TV time on Wednesday.

Didn't he just get a new jacket sponsor? Would make sense.

 

[Howard Moon]

Dodoro pushing this out so he can get TV time on Wednesday.

he owes his shirt sponsor that at the very least

 

[Fear Boner]

Kelvin must be pleased his bulldogs got Sam Lloyd

Why was trade period done for longer than a week again?

Surely the afl cant be that hungry for clicks?

And what this about a televised event on wednesday?

I think your second line is the answer to your third line, if you substitute clicks for views anyway.

From memory, the AFL did give them access to older players with different incentives, but other than taking Ward, Davis and a couple of others, they used them to trade for more high picks.

Not really
Except we could list anyone who had previously nominated for the draft and was not on a list. We did get Adam Kennedy that way. He was passed over in 2011.

We were loaded up with talented youngsters and expected to trade for experience and a balanced list. Although the intent of the mini-drafts was we had to trade for players. We weren't actually prohibited from trading them for picks, and we did.

Generally the club wasn't happy with the expectation 9f what we would give up the high draft picks for, so we kept them.

For the Bears start up as I understand it they could take a player from every list, and the existing clubs didn't want to do that again.

I'm certainly not whinging we got unprecedented concessions because there was real fear we wouldn't make it in foreign territory, but the AFL was determined to break into the market. A committee set up the rules which were signed off by all the ckubs and the AFL. The club staff then acted in the club's interest to get the best out of them.

AFL should offer incentives whether it be cash or something else for trades made earlier in trade week.

I dont know what they have set up.
Are they going to be televising something?

Or just make it shorter but they dont want that. All this can be done in 3 days

Reckon Dodo's wife or family ever pull the "you're difficult to deal with" line?

The clubs set the concessions up the way they were because they knew they would be able to plunder the expansion teams down the track. I think GWS had the option to get the older uncontracted players the same as Gold Coast, and chose to target younger players like Ward and Davis as opposed to offering out pensions to players like Bock and Brown. It seems pretty obvious which method has worked best.

I think it's actually worked out well with GWS not gifted a flag, but able to stay up the pointy end of both the draft and ladder for the time being.

Id bet he never says it to his wife.

Very illuminating thank you

Would they consider offering jackets?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Barret reckons the deal will go down tomorow

 

[Unfazed]

I think they do the opposite. They're offering incentives to string it out. The way Dodoro's going we should get 10 Friday night fixtures and no interstate games.

Barret reckons the deal will go down tomorow

He was questioned about whether the media influences the club's thinking about the value of players ("because Trade Radio always gets it right"). According to him, the role of the media is to describe what is happening but they don't influence the clubs, and he of course always knows the whispers and therefore only says what is actually happening, never speculates or bullshits or anything, and that's why Trade Radio is always right...

I therefore look forward to finding out who manages to start the Welcome thread when it becomes official tomorrow. If Damo says it Then it must be true.

I see what u did there

Surprised Barrett's most recent "Sliding doors" hasn't stirred up the nuffies a bit more.

Didnt he just say we were hard to deal with?

Anywho - should be an exciting 16 mins
