Early Trade Rumours for 2022

[hujsh]

Can we afford him? His on something like 700 K a year .

Some players have to go to fit him into the salary cap. Maybe less for 4 years ? Not sold on his consistency.

Freo not phased about letting players go especially with their young emerging talent

He's looking for a 500k a year contract from here on. That seems manageable but might depend on what price we pay for other players or if we keep them at all

[comrade]

I’m not a Lobb fan but he’s pretty much the only type of player that will fit with English. Huge upgrade on what we’re forced to put up with at the moment (Cordy, Hannan in the forward/ruck role).

If we got him and another key defender (along with keeping Timmy, Dale, Daniel & Baz), I’d be pretty bullish on 2023 purely due to structural improvement.

I'd be keen on Lobb. Yes, he was a knobb when in Orange. Has a big gobb and the tatts and punchable face make him look like a slobb. But he'd do a jobb.

[Twodogs]

You could have fit knob in there somewhere.

[Dry Rot]

Any word on Payne leaving the Lions?

[jazzadogs]

Griffin Logue has put off contract talks until the end of the season. Add him to the list.

[macca]

Mid season draft, any of these players have potential to be on our list ?

I'm a big Logue fan, just not sure he has the height to fill our needs.

I don't know alot about him Scraggers.

When you say that do you mean he's like an inbetween height?

At least one poster agrees with me

I suppose the best compassion I see in the Bulldogs is Bailey Williams. A taller running half-back. Logue has 5cm (2 inches) on Williams. I don't see that we need another half-back. Now, if Alex Pearce was to put his hand up for trade ...

I guess it depends on how they play over head. Their height isn't the only measure.
Leaver is 194 for eg. But plays as good as anyone overhead.

From what you've explained he seems like a taller guy who doesn't play that tall?

[DOG GOD]

For mine, we need a KD with height and a good solid build. Pearce would be ideal, but no hope in getting him.

Pearce should be on the 'DO NOT TOUCH' list...he misses 9/10ths of every season with injury.

Being fit is a skill and he doesn't have it. This may be short-sighted by me but I just would not be targeting a player who misses so much footy...

Yep. If Pearce gets a god father offer as a RFA, surely Fremantle won't match it.
