2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

I swear my new slogan is fast becoming “give me strength”. What was looking as a possible wingard to dogs is fast becoming a “other teams non best 22”....and I’m beginning to get frustrated.

And I hope Wingard hasn't read that article. He'll run for the hills

Duryea cannot be a good idea for us.
Send him to Gold Coast or Carlton. They need experienced players that aren't really any good more than we do.

I feel the Same

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Doesn't make much sense to me...


One player I've been thinking about the last few weeks is James Rose up in Sydney. Hasn't had a huge amount of opportunity but seems ready to make a leap into consistent AFL performer.

Wasn't there a whisper months ago that we had some interest in him?

TBH I'm ambivalent on Duryea - for a late pick ok, but not anything of value. I don't see small defender as a position of need even if Williams is now a mid and Richards plays on a wing.
It's painfully obvious that JJ is a much, much better player behind the ball. That's where he needs to play. Ditto Wood.

Plus we pick up a mid sized defender in Khamis this year to develop as Suckers plays his last season with us.

Harley Benell over Duryea. I would take the punt

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Im happy to get Duryea. Can play a role in decent sides, is quick and can kick well. Tick for me.

Bennell seems tailor made for the Bombers.

With Duryea, I’m guessing Bevo would have coached him at the Hawks and has some input. If Bevo’s driving this one, then in Bevo we trust.

Possible benefits:
Speed
Tackling
Good left foot
Mature body
Attitude?
Good VFL player

Negatives:
No right foot whatsoever
No obvious elite attributes
He’s 27, so if he hasn’t played his best footy yet, are we really going to see it?
Hawthorn don’t get rid of good players.

I’m wondering if it’s a deal with Hawthorn: if you keep away from the Chad, we’ll take Duryea off your hands?

Can someone explain to me how Lycett compensation is worth end of the first round but Dahl is second round?

It is just a *!*!*!*!ing joke.

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

Or Ablett wants to go to West Coast.

Sydney took Rose with the pick we swapped with them for Shane Biggs. They took Rose at 37 and we took Declan Hamilton with 39.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

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

How would this look?

HF: Wingard, Bontompelli, Bennell

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Regarding Bennell, I think the risk to the culture of the group is too high. We've seen evidence of some erratic behaviour, and I'd suspect what we know is the tip of the iceberg.

Exactly why he’s a perfect fit for the Bombers!

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