Silly Season (post home and away season trade period) suggestions.

Re: Silly Season (post home and away season trade period) suggestions.

I decided this year to sit out the trade period on WOOF.

Then the Jarrad Grant situation happened, and I thought of BT. This year looks set to be our best ever.

Thanks BAS. Jarrad, Hrovat, Minson and Talia all linked to other clubs already. Former first and second round pick players with various positive attributes. JMacca is going to earn his wage this year to do a good job. Especially since a heap of big name players have called out new homes and none us thus far.

Buddy was going to GWS right until the last moment.

Lot of posturing, Mexican stand offs, and poker being played

We need a ruckman and Port have too many. What would you give up for Lobbe?

Good player but I could only offer a 2nd round pick which I don't think will do it for Port. They might be interested in that plus Daniel
Landing a player like Lobbe I suspect would mean Roughead returning to the back line.

When B. Macca was head coach he was trying to woo Kirsten to seek a trade from Geelong to us. With Henderson, Clarke, Vardy, Blicavs, Stanley, Hawkins, Smith (?) and Taylor rotating through the forward line - is he a player that would hold any interest as he's going down the pecking order year after year?

I think in many ways the recruitment of Stringer and Crameri largely reduced the motivation to recruit Kersten. Boyd subsequently coming in probably eliminated any need at all.

Agree.

Also mid sized forward is a position we are pretty well stocked in now. I would prefer we prioritised that list spot on trying to rectify a weakness than add depth to a strength.

I've had a rethink. On the following proviso's and speculation we might have to have a more serious go at Lobbe.

- If we aren't going to play Minson
- We don't think Campbell can do the job
- We can't acquire a key defender

Then perhaps pick 11 for Lobbe and their pick 29 might be a reasonable deal for us although I think we are still paying too much.

- It allows Roughead to return to the back line.
- It means Roughead could do more of the back up work
- Boyd can stay more in the forward line

Dalrymple will work his magic later in the draft.

We have a bit of coverage with taller forwards although we aren't as deep as the Cats but Boyd, Stringer, Crameri and Redpath have given us some options. I think the fact that we also have good mid sized forwards like Dickson makes it harder to trade for someone like Kirsten. He's a pretty good player though and he should be looking elsewhere.

A bit of spit-balling to see if we can work a bit of magic

Bulldogs offer Pick 11 to Port for Lobbe and Ports 2nd round pick #29. That gives us 653 extra points to add to our pick #30 (629)

Port gains the extra pick they might need to satisfy the Suns for Dixon and eases their logjam at the ruck position.
Bulldogs gain a quality ruckman which potentially releases Roughead to continue in the back line

Bulldogs offer picks #29, #30, #48 and Michael Talia to the Swans for their pick #14

Swans now have 3 x 2nd round picks #29, #30, #33 and #48 which has a value of 2,147 points and they have picked up a key defender for nothing. Their original points in rounds 1 and 2 was 1,724 and while the additional 423 points isn't much it values Callum Mills at about pick 3 before the academy discount is applied.

Bulldogs have traded back into the first round and will make their last two picks at the back of the draft.

The chances? minimal I would say but I'd bet clubs look at this type of complicated deal.

Well it is the silly season

I like that a lot G. I am really hoping we are pleasantly surprised by the demand for Talia.

Devils advocate.

Do we really need to trade for a quality ruckman. We already have a quality ruckman on the list but we don't bother playing him most of the time.

Should we be looking at a different kind of ruckman

The fact that we chased an already in contract Martin would indicate that it was a reasonably high priority for us.
