2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Duryea would probably replace Suckling who is likely to retire at the end of 2019.

Beacuse Lycett is on at least $100k more a year than Dahl. Not everything is a conspiracy against our club you know.

Sorry it is a joke - get rid of of compo and change the formula.

Anyone interested in Bennell for a late pick? High risk v high reward

How would this look?

HF: Wingard, Bontompelli, Bennell

No to Bennell, taking risks on distracted players isn't something that I would do.

[Ozza]

Then there's the fact he hardly gets on the paddock. Big no from me.

Yep. Zero games in 2016, 2 games in 2017. Even prior to that - missed 7 games in each of the 3 years prior. Putting the less tangible attitude/behaviour questions to one side - from a footy perspective, to miss that much, he's coming from a long way back.

Really? Why would Suckling retire at the end of 2019?

I don't disagree with you but under the current rules the result is fair. I said years ago to get rid of the compensation. They should also restrict the access of top teams to free agents.

The whole woe is me attitude on here gets tiring at times - the AFL, the media, the umpires are all against us. There is one big conspiracy against the Bulldogs. Funnily enough if you read other club forums there is a conspiracy against all of them too!

I like to complain as much as the next person but if I wanted hear constant whingeing all day long I would hang out with my kids.

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.

So you think the compensation should be subjective? That would be an even bigger disaster. At least at present the compensation is somewhat predictable.

No I never said that either.

I just don't like the whole system.

Must be since half his highlights seem to be against us

Anyone know if Duryea is a good citizen, hard trainer etc?. I'd imagine Bevo would know his capabilities, his experience wouldn't be a bad thing.

Duryea sounds like a Hartung type scenario that ended in Norf delisting him a couple years later. I'd rather stick with Honeychurch who I don't rate too high either.

Bit rough on Duryea comparing him to Hartung and Honeychurch. Hartung has been delisted twice in 2 years and Honeychurch should be. He barely missed a game in a dominant Hawks team from 2013-16 and played in 2 flags. Also played in the Hawks last final this year.

Was named best clubman at the Hawks B & F the other night. As you say Bevo wouldn't be interested if he wasn't a solid citizen.
