Re: Proactive Poaching

It's curious to reflect on the same time last year that Lynch & Williams would (seemingly) become surplus to requirements.

Footy time waits for no man.

Not sure if that comes up - Bulldogs interested in Dougal Howard, who is still contracted at Port.

Re: Proactive Poaching

It’s too small but not surprising. Over the last few years we have been very conservative with our list changes.

You need to check, we have turned over at least 10 per year over the last few years.

Really? Wow that blows my mind that we have had 30 list changes in the last three years. I will have to look more into it.

I think Minimum list delistings is 3.

If you’re 195cm+ defender, fair chance you’re getting linked to the Dogs this off season.

I can’t find that anywhere that we cut 10 main listed players three years running. Can you post a link for me?

Re: Proactive Poaching

Rookies aren’t generally considered to be in the turnover figure, it’s a main list metric. So it’s more like 9, 7, 5 & 6.

We need to find a 6th and bring in talent while we can.

Re: Proactive Poaching

Besides being a touch too loyal to a few they’ve made significant changes over the last few years

Fair enough, but we have still have had a decent turnover.

I really don't understand why we gave Porter another year

It's an interesting question, re Porter. We are seemingly interested in about 10 players, and surely must be hoping to land 3. Which means 6 spots. Maybe the club is aware of interest in a fringe player from another club and will facilitate it? Maybe the thought is Dicko is going retire? The club obviously knows something that we can only guess. Surely we can't have the huge money and war chest of picks, with the offers/interest going everywhere and not have three spots ready to go if God forbid three players say yes to us.

Would be a great get.

Hard to know what is genuine when we are being linked to half the players in the league.

I suspect our targets are pretty clear:

- KPD/swingman
- Class forward of the ball/small forward
- Outside run / wing

I expect we hope to bring in three mature players who are best 22 given what we are willing to pay. If we get 1-2 I think we'll still be in a very good position cap-wise, with the potential for a 'game changing' NGA/FS draft haul in 2020 setting up for sustained success.
