2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

[bulldogtragic]

It's been reported that Hickey is their preferred target, Roughy number 2 choice. Hopefully the saints want too much for Hickey and we can negotiate a reasonable return for Roughy. Or he just stays and provides some much needed depth.

Well he stays if there's no real interest. Maybe that rumour of St Kilda being interested is if Hickey leaves and they go free agency. I don't understand GWS losing Lobb and only having Dawson Simpson as a main ruck don't go for Roughy. He's not going to cost a pick as a free agent and he wouldn't comment huge dollars.

I’d actually like Roughy to stay and for Tom Campbell to find a new home. Of course he’d have to be happy playing almost entirely at Footscray, but given he’s a past vice captain, assistant coach with our AFLW team, grew up a Dogs supporter and is a premiership icon for that mark, it would be terrific to keep him around the club in any capacity. His off field community work also fits well with the club ethos.

But to do this he’d basically be an extra on our list if the first three options on our list aren’t available. If he has a burning desire to play consistently at the top level, I don’t think we can offer that.

The big mummy could be making a comeback in orange.

That has the hall marks a worse come back than Plugger.

The last time they finished above 7th the Concorde was still in operation.

My response was nothing to do with " The dogs are getting ripped off" my complaint is Lycett, a dud ruckman giving WCoast an end of first round pick.

First of all, you misspelled 'Premiership Ruckman'. Lycett is hardly a 'dud'.

Second, his contract was an extra year on what is, more than likely, a considerably larger contract p.a. than Dahlhaus'.

I don't see a problem here at all.

9 disposals and 15 hitouts, yeah he is a great ruckman.

Doesn't change the figures on the contract, which is what the FA formula works from.

I'm seriously trying to work out what your argument is here.

Mate - you haven't followed the thread.

All I was saying is the system stinks when you get guys like Lycett attracting a pick after first round. You have Richmond getting an A Grade player for nothing and all the other clubs in both cases have to take the hit with draft picks dropping a place.

The whole compensation system needs to change, and in fact dropped, plus the team receiving the player should have to give up a pick.

Maybe we can get Hurley now

[Remi Moses]

Bit harsh on Lycett . Pretty good ruckman playing behind Nic Nat
Bigger and longer contract than Dahlhaus
Only issue I have is the overs Geelong got for Motlop

Bit harsh on Lycett .

Averages 17 hitouts a game.
