End of Season - Trade Targets

[Mantis]

Possibly but as has been suggested you just never know if you don't try. I can't see Thomas getting a huge amount from Collingwood. Could be a target.

... for Carlton.

[Scorlibo]

Yes, yes, yes, no, yes, no, no, no, no, yes

4 are players other teams would have. 4 are young and promising and 1 is old and probably in his last season even though he is still performing.

Dahlhaus is already a very good player and would get a game in any other side in the competition. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

At this point we only trade what we don't see developing for us.

Therefore hold onto our draft picks unless we identify another Young/Lower/Stevens available at the right price ie. pick 45 for Stevens was good.

Players we don't think will kick on with us can be offered around but obviously they will not attract much in compesnation.

The only player that might attract anything pre-pick 50 atm is Higgins.

Wood and Williams might join him but firstly we should see how they play out the season and whether they are required players with us.

I think he is the most over rated Bulldog player I have ever seen in my life.

[Greystache]

I think he is the most over rated Bulldog player I have ever seen in my life.

By supporters or the club?

He finished 4th in the B&F last year despite missing the last 4 games.

[SlimPickens]

I think he is the most over rated Bulldog player I have ever seen in my life.

Pretty tough call on a kid that has played 35 games, I would have thought.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I think he is the most over rated Bulldog player I have ever seen in my life.

Tough call given he's still inexperienced, but my dad agrees with you that he's had a pretty poor season so far.

[The Doctor]

Dalhaus is a good player as we all know. But he is over rated. He is rated that way because of his looks but mainly because so much of our list is crap.

If we are to be a force, Dal would be in the bottom 6 of our 22.

[Remi Moses]

Yes he's useless, trade him. Gets a game because of his hair.

[boydogs]

Before we identify targets, what picks or decent players are we willing to part with??

We have a winner.

I'm of the opinion, given where we are at as a side, we have to draft our way out of trouble. Therefore I'm hesitant to give up too much which means we won't attract too much.

You don't need to trade players or picks in free agency. They do however have to have been with their club for a while and will be 26+, maybe we could pick up one or two players but they won't be in their prime when we're next pushing for a flag.

Given our abundance of inside mids, I would do something like Clay Smith for Rory Sloane though.

stupid comment.

Agree with the sentiment, but I think he's better (and will be better) than a bottom 6 player at a good club.

I have doubts whether he can even pinch hit in the midfield, more of a natural crumbing forward. I understand versatility is the buzz word in AFL circles right now, but he's one I'd leave up forward unless he's really struggling.

If he's going to be bottom 6 in our 22, we're not going to be a force.

[Remi Moses]

stupid comment.

He's rated that way because of his looks is a stupid comment.
The guy's 21 played bugger all games and yet you're condemning him to the bottom 6, when we're going okay! Gee I hope that's the case because that will signal we're a bloody good side.

He's highly rated because of his hair? That's a new one.

Any team that he's rated in the bottom 6 would be a premiership team not just a force.
