The Chad Thread

[EasternWest]

Tradeguru69 says the trade is for Tom Campbell, not pick 6 plus. Great trade for us.

Thanks for your service Tom. Sorry it didn't work out. Oh, hai Chad.

Who is tradeguru69 ?

Who is tradeguru69 ?

In this case I think the name says it all. Some sad 48 year old tosser desperately craving relevance and making stuff up to get some.

Mark Robinson and the Herald Sun reporting that Chad has informed Port he wants to stay at the club.

So Chad to the dogs is a certainty then.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

A little disappointing but I wonder who we next turn our attention to?

Chad’s management have refuted Slobbo’s story in world record time. He hasn’t made his mind up yet.

You are right, report is not true.

EDit: Sedat beat me to it. What a dick Robbo is.

[bulldogtragic]

His management were lightning quick to tell trade radio that.

Chad lives yet.

[ledge]

Well he needs to hurry up and make up his mind !

I wonder if we have plan B if Chad stays at Port or chooses Hawthorn. Do we have other irons in the fire if we are prepared to offer up pick 6 or is it best available at the National Draft?

Im hoping plan B is use pick 6

I agree but I'm always worried because of the Jarrad Grant and Christian Howard round 1 selection fiascos. Surely Sam Power can't stuff this year's pick 6 up with available top 10 talent pool.

What also worries me is that not all top 10 kids take the next step e.g. Tambling, O'rouke, Freeman, Toumpas, Anthony Banik an so on for whatever reason didn't live up to their early selection. Trading 6 for a known talent isn't a stupid idea.

I'm happy I'm not the one making these calls.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How many kids do we need? We are already the youngest list in the comp with West and Buku to come. I'd argue we are desperate for a quality 21-26 year old.

On the flip side, we are unlikely to 'challenge' next year so from a forecasting perspective maybe we are better off taking Pick 6 to the draft, getting another year into our list and then look to trade for an established star at the end of next year.

Arguments to be made for both.
