Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Why on earth would Gold Coast need to throw Kolodjashnij into that deal for free?

Probably coz GC were pushing for a top 4 pick for May....then melb May have stopped discussions, and then GC realised that they wanted him gone so had to throw KK in to get demons interest again ??? Who knows.

Geez. Melbourne get May and Kolo.

There wasn't too many interested in Kolodjashnij when his name was mentioned. We here at WOOF only seemed to be interested in May

Mav Weller has been delisted by the Saints, maybe this is what we've been waiting for?

Gold Coast are hopeless

get rid of them for the Olinda Bloods

Dogs are hellbent on keeping pick 7 it seems

Wonder if we tried with 7 and got pipped by the Dees?

There is still time but looks like the pieces have fallen and we're left with a couple of picks to come in for departures. Disappointing result if that's it. I would have liked to have been more aggressive.

We obviously pin pointed Lloyd and duryea and got our men...once wingard chose hawks we obviously shut up shop and put the feet up just trying to deal the draft picks for Adams and roughie, which we will probably be bent over with anyway...re: Adams at least.

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Is that the draft that played a huge part in our flag ?

The one where we were bold enough to get Tom Boyd?

Yep - that's the one.

We simply cannot rely on the draft alone in the modern era. Do you honestly think the likes of Melbourne and Collingwood etc. aren't also drafting well?

I'm pretty happy to just flog Adams off. He's not a destabilizing influence but we've gone through the song & dance of him being open to being traded ever since we recruited him and I just want him gone already.

WCE are very much a draft and develop club, they're going fine.

Yes - but not to our degree: Kennedy, Yeo, Redden, Cripps, Vardy and Jetta is a handy list of additions.

The only 'unwanted' of that list was probably Vardy due to his injuries. The rest were pretty good players at their former clubs.

Not disagreeing with you as our flag showed . Moneyball recruits also played a major part as well .
Teams like Melbourne , Collingwood , Brisbane have been on the bottom for a fair period of time also.
They should be improving

They obtained Kennedy because they lost the best player in the comp . Redden and Jetta were terrible 12 months ago . The core of the side was drafted
