Early Trade Rumours 2023

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Treloar fits the last contract scenario.

We are not attracting the 25-27 year old free agents at all.

Who have we missed out on who you would've liked?

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Oh how I love the press. Just last week
Media announces rumour Geelong are chasing Bailey Smith.
This week media rumour Geelong approach bulldogs to deny such rumour.
So let’s get this straight the media make up a rumour print it and a week later say it’s not true by including another rumour.

For starters Ed Langdon and Steven May with us might have changed the 2021 premiers.

Aliir Aliir would look fairly handy in our back six. Who knows if we even had a crack.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Is it just me, or is it weird the only time our club is mentioned in any trade news there is not a single player being linked to us and our stars are the ones mentioned as leaving (or other clubs not trying to acquire them). Despite the fact we have multiple high picks that will be traded and a massive amount of salary cap.

Lots of players on the move it seems, but only out of our club and not into it. We are either keeping our powder extremely dry or the media won?t report anything that could be perceived as positive.

Liam Henry is almost locked (I am not on board)
We were one of two clubs heavily linked with Doedee pre-ACL

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Or there is just nobody who wants to come our way.

Any player coming to the Bulldogs might be concerned what position he will end up with.

Experience with a few hasn't been great.

Trengove
Lobb is inferior to his last year at Freo

Why did Dunkley really leave?

We have also moved on quite a few established players
Stringer, Roughead, Dahlhaus and Hunter.

Josh Bruce, Keath, O'Brien, Jones could have gone anywhere but choose us.

Every team loses and gains players. Collingwood have lisyt a heap of players recently, including two stars and Henry who they really wanted to keep.

Not am I re Henry. It better be dirt cheap, and I think it won’t be for some reason.

Two consecutive weeks of clicks for the same (non) story. This is the MO of the media - they are gutter scribes but they know what they are doing.

When you get Matt Suckling as one of your first FA's, how can you improve on perfection?

Is it:

IN: Suckling, JT, TOB & Jones (a year out)

OUT: Dahl (2nd), Higgins (2nd), Cordy (no compo)

May wasn't a free agent... he was acquired through a trade.

Who else sees similarities between Suckling and Poulter?

In what way? I see nothing similar at all.

Suckling was one of EW's favourites, right?
