Early Trade Rumours 2023

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

I know that and I’m sure you know Ed Langdon is from Melbourne. Not really what was being discussed though.

Pretty sure he came through the Dragons pathway.

I guess the point I was trying to make is Freo have a very specific TYPE they want in their wingers (hold their width, runners, not too fussed about the specifics of the kicking!) that seems to be touching a nerve across the league.

Can add Blake Acres to this discussion as well.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

For what it's worth the media haven't linked us with McKay - Port and Essendon seem the be the favourites.

It is also irrelevant that pick 3 may seem to be overs for McKay. It's simply a product of the compensation formula that is based on the contract and players age. Offer him enough to trigger band 1 compensation and North get a pick straight after their own first round pick. If North had won more games the pick wouldn't be as high (eg Buddy when he left the Hawks).

Media also haven't reported that in a few games he'll up his average games played per season from 7 to 8 games.

It's a huge contact for someone who hasn't yet proven they can get through a season at senior level

For sure. I don't want him at $800k, but I understand why someone like Essendon might bite.

Cal Twomey thinks Liam Henry will be playing in Vic next year. Says Bulldogs could be in the mix

Can I say this?

"It's very hard to play when you're petrified?"

Doesn't run, wont stick his head over it. HARD PASS on signing up for the Liam Henry experience. Yes - he was good last week vs the Bombers but if you have 32 touches and your previous best was 21, what numbers should you be focussing on when considering whether or not to recruit a player to become part of your midfield.

Nailed it Mike. Absolutely nailed it.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

To be fair to him, he got 33 touches and looked very composed and efficient doing so. Worth watching how he develops over the rest of the year.

I thought he was just about BOG

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Worth noting that Bains on radio said although they are not currently in negotiations that Bulldogs fans should feel confidence around the fact that Naughty and English both love the club and are really settled.

His comment sounded like negotiations are well under way and are positive at this stage.

On the ABC today one of the commentators said Naughton still isn't a fan of Freo stemming back to his junior footy days and having to make room for their returning players. I like Naughton because holding a grudge is cool.

I didn’t think he overly hurt us, while his opponent (Poulter) had some crucial GA/SI and he made some crucial and very costly turnovers under pressure/perceived pressure when the game was in the balance. Sure he got touches, but I didn’t think he was close to BOG in totality of performance/impact.

So did Ghosty Lynch for a few games.
Jury still out for me - I'd take 15 disposals from a guy who defends over a guy running around loose

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Henry was awesome today, I'd have him.

Not sure why the hate?

What am I missing. Didn't look phased by any physical stuff.

No hate, not interested. BTW he looked pretty phased when the poo was running down his leg when he let Williams waltz into goal at a key moment among other pressure turnovers.

Ha. That was a great highlight.

Not for Henry and clubs concerned if he will always put his head over it.
