Stringer Trade Worth

[bulldogtragic]

ROUND ONE - Possible

CARL 3. Carlton
NMFC 4. North Melbourne
COLL 6. Collingwood
STK 7. St Kilda (received from Hawthorn)
STK 8. St Kilda
WB 9. Western Bulldogs
MELB 10. Melbourne
ESS 11. Essendon
RICH 15. Richmond (received from Geelong, via Carlton and GWS on-trades)
RICH 16. Richmond

So, Stringer has apparently said Essendon (pick 11) or Geelong (nothing, how do they even get mentioned honestly). But that means little. I doubt he will leave his kids so the above are the Vic Clubs that need to explore recruiting him. Options include:

Carlton & North upgrading first and second rounders. I just don't see top 5 now.
Would Collingwood go for a marque player to remain relevant at 6?
Would St Kilda offer pick 8?
I don't see Melbourne having the salary cap.
Or would Richmond offer up 15 & 16 and a player (to ease their cap) with us sending them picks 26 & 39 and other points we can get so they can get their F/S?


Then the next question is hit the draft, or trade?

[ledge]

I rekon we go pick 9 :-)

[comrade]

I'd be squarely focused on North's pick 4 as our number 1 priority. They have the cap, are seemingly desperate for a big name trade and Scott will want to rise back up the ladder.

That would leave us with pick 4 & 9. I'd use 4 on the best kid available (turned out ok last time) and use 9 to bring in a gun established forward. Don't know who, but I'd be throwing big money at someone to shake them loose.

Do you think North are that desperate to cough up 4 without wanting 9 back? I know they're desperate, but that's desperate.

I wouldn't be touching that deal if it involved a measly 5 pick upgrade though it does smell like a JMac deal. They can have our second.

A deal with North wouldn't likely be straight up, a 3rd club could be involved.

Without a lot of thought, how does Bulldogs trading picks 9 and 26 for picks 15 and 16 from Richmond go? The index points match up OK. Tigers get their father son and have a mid 2nd rounder for a needs based player.

We trade Stringer and our newly acquired pick 16 to North for their picks 4 and 21.
We move up 5 picks from our original first selection, 11 picks from our original 2nd selection and still have an early 2nd rounder.
North have a big name (much needed) and still have a first round pick.

We have picks 4, 15 and 21 plus 39. Say hello to Stephenson, L.Fogarty and Clavarino
We then chase Tom Rockcliff hard.

Yes, that would be freaking perfect.

Sounds good to me. All teams can claim victory, and members happy enough.

Trengove & Rockliff would be great mature bodies and people for kids to come into.

BT, you need to crunch the numbers for me. Are we adequately compensating North? Do we flip flop picks 39 and 44 to make it fairer? Wouldn't that be a twist ?

Seriously, forward this to JMac. I doubt he'd be able to conjure up anything better.

That's a bit harsh on J-Mac. When he did those Hrovat and Stevens trades we had won the flag and we overrated the list and we wanted to project that we were a fair club to deal with as much for our own players. It will be a very different J-Mac this time around.

We have two trade specialists here on WOOF in BT and The Doctor especially when it comes to draft picks manipulations and reading the play. With a bit of work we can get better options.
BT, The Doc, it's time to get to work

I'd be trying to get a good first round 2018 pick for Stringer and trying our trade our #1 pick this year for one next year too.

They also might have a ruckman that wants out

That's my concern, Goldstein will be included in the deal.

[bornadog]

That's my concern, Goldstein will be included in the deal.

Rumour: Apparently there is another ruckman that wants out
