I think we're balancing it well. I don't think we are at a point where the list should be completely gutted. If we can replace guys like Roarke, Crozier, Bruce with 22/23yo I think that's a net win.
What do you think Coffield is worth on the open market JD?
Former top 10 pick, I get the feeling the Aints might be stupidly wanting overs.

For that reason it would irk me if he won one up there, however it's a minor irk and he's a Lions player now so pffft.
I just hope we handled his exit in an optimal fashion (didn't have levers we didn't pull after he went) for the club.
There was no way the Lions were going to be able to pay what we wanted. Their future first, could've been anything (see Freo).
In future we need to trade prior to contract expiry if we don't get a solid commitment (except Bont).
There is a WOOFER who is a keen Lion supporter. Now who is that?

I know Chef and I are Lions supporters this week, but do we have a legit Lions supporter among us?
More of an In Bruges guy?

Yes but he will have to come forward himself.

Looking back now we certainly got duded in that trade period and I'm keen to see if we can rectify it this time round.
Be really good if could improve our draft hand and get in someone in of quality who will be a huge contributor to the team.
Lobb had a great 2022 but was suspect in 2023. As one woofer said I would have loved players like Bedford, Hill and Acres.

Dunkley Trade Official:
Brisbane got Dunkley
Dogs got Clarke & 1/3 of Pick 5 along with 1/3 of the three third rounders (draft point deficit in the pick swap and two fourths we may/probably won?t use.

Re: Rating the 2022 Trade Period - After 7.30pm Wednesday Night
If Gresham was end of 1st:
Lobb is Pick 33 this year but *could* be around 38 after bids (on top of 30 last year, pushed out to 33 after bids)
Hunter gets us Pick 57
Hunter looks a little worse
Lobb at 33 & 38 (after bids) looks a little better if he re finds form
Also we got Pick 39 or 40 for our third & the Hunter pick which offsets this years pick for Lobb. So you could argue loosely that the real cost for Lobb is 33 last year and two thirds this year. If you like that argument, then the cost of Lobb isn’t that high.

Re: Rating the 2022 Trade Period - After 7.30pm Wednesday Night
So we can do it properly now:
I can’t see any official record of a live trade with Sydney, so it’s based off that not happening.
Lobb: Picks 33 & 37 after bids (*notionally end of R2 & start of R3 picks)
Hunter (after being packaged into Pick 40 and then unpackaged: Freijah (& Coffield with the F3 that was in that unpackaging 40)
Schache: Pick deleted/nothing
Dunkley: Clarke, 1/3 Sanders, 1/3 Croft, 1/3 of the F3, Lach Smith, AOD (4th we demanded tied to Geelong), Freijah (by packaging up the two F3’s into the F2 which was unpackaged to slightly better picks to get part of Croft, and also Freijah & Coffield)
Twomey sees it the way I see it in an article this morning. The Dunkley pick went for Points/Picks. So the trade is now Pick 11 & F1 for Pick 6 & F3 plus getting Freijah.
(Huge salary cap relief)
So it’s that old chestnut about one good player in Dunkley. Or trading them out and using that trade in a way to acquire with creativity Sanders, Clarke, Croft, Freijah, Smith, AOD & Coffield - who all can be traced to some part of the sprawling Dunkley deal.

I think Sanders alone might make the trade look alright. No pressure kid.
