Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
Could be interesting going on the rumour mills...
Dogs: Schache, Martin & Rockliff (FA), Pick 18 & 36.
Lions: Pick 2 (FA), Pick 9 & 26 & 39, plus Crameri
Lions: Pick 2, 9, 14, 26, 39 with Callenden an academy pick, plus Crameri (Honey or Hamilton if they wanted them)
Dogs: KPF, Ruck, classy midfielder - Pick 18 getting a solid defender or mid. Pick 36 then no picks inside 80 though.
Trade period over.Comment

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
Not a bad effort BT. You know my thoughts on trading early picks - I much prefer to hit the draft. But if we got pick in the top 20 in return that would be a good outcome.
Do you rate Schache?More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
My best guess is that he will come good. A politician's answer I know. From a far it looks a bit like the Cam McCarthy situation. So maybe near home and family, he can get back to doing what he's good at. I'd love to see him team with Tom Boyd, and even a year training/playing with a proven gun like Cloke might do wonders from him and his development.

I'm worried that we are trading too tall and not focusing on an area of our list that is a little overrated and lacking depth in quality, namely our midfield."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

If we do go after Schache, where does that leave Red? Or Tom Boyd? Let alone Cloke and Crameri. What about Adams and Roberts? Where does Roughy end up if we get Martin?

I'd prefer to hit the draft with pick 9 so long as we are confident we can get what we want with that pick. I feel Stephenson, who is the type we need, will be gone by our pick.Comment

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
Could explain why we haven't offered Crameri a contract as yet and Cloke speculation about retiring a year early.
Rockcliff at 800k a year just doesn't interest me in the slightest to be honest.Comment

Could be interesting going on the various/numerous rumour mills...
Dogs: Schache, Martin & Rockliff (FA), Pick 18 & 41
Lions: Pick 2 (FA), Pick 9 & 26 & 39, plus Crameri (plus any extra draft points we can acquire, or we'd lose the Pick 41)
Lions: Picks 1, 2, 9, 14, 26, 39 with Callenden an academy pick, plus Crameri (Honey or Hamilton if they wanted them)
Dogs: KPF, Ruck, classy midfielder - Pick 18 getting a solid defender or mid. Pick 41 then no picks inside 80 though. Rookie upgrades?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
Crameri - Martin (through Collingwood with Cox) - A little under, but FA compo helps
Pick 9 - Schache - Same, a little under, but FA compo helps
Picks 26 & 39 - Pick 18 (good draft points trade for them with the kid Callenden)
(FA) Rockliff offered a deal to ensure they get pick 2 - Rockliff
Just put the rumours in a bowl, mixed, and tried to see what it looked like. We'd have pick 18 in this scenario still, so we could add that to a player or future second rounder and go for a midfielder.

What about JMac himself being out of contract, I think that would be the number 1 signing now.Comment

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?
Don't get the fascination with Schache. Soft with zero aggression. If he wasn't a high draft pick no-one would ever raise his name.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

I'd also think the AFL will be watching the Rockliff departure/destination closely and if there are any other trades with the Lions and the club Rockliff goes to that seems to have factored in the compensation pick then I think they could easily rule a line through it.
As much as they want Brisbane to become viable the won't stump up overly generous compensation picks if they think clubs are diddling it.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment
