Rating The Trade Period

Re: Rating The Trade Period

Pretty happy w this years trade period. Have a suspicion we were always thinking 32 might not be enough for Bruce.

Good result, would have liked to trade 53 rather than next years second, sure Sam led with that.

Overall - great result. Be interested to see if we trade out 13 in the picks trading period, or if we were staunch about taking it to the draft.

Uncomfortably good. Dare to dream good.

Breaking. BlackSoul says something complimentary about our club and it’s staff:

IF: he has never sought a profile ...
THEN: that's not surprising given the way he and his family is wired. But Dogs' list and recruiting manager Sam Power deserves massive plaudits for the clear plan going into Trade Period, and even more for its execution.

Christmas NY will be good this year, Jan, Feb anticipatory. March will be one of the great Marches.

Re: Rating The Trade Period

Best trade period since before JMac.

Power has for the first time in a long time:

1 -.convinced multiple best 22 players from other clubs to come
2 - has convinced not one but two proven best 22 KPs to come is unheard.of
3 -did not over pay
4 - did not lose any best 30 player
5 - no leaks or running commentaries

This trade period has been amazingly good on so many fronts.

A real 'feather' in Sammie"s cap.

After the grim JMac years was fully expecting to lose P13, what a surprise it was to see us keep it. And trading.out a second rd pick next yr will come to be seen as a masterstroke as the most compromised draft since GWS' entry will see mid to late second picks in 2020 effectively become 3rd Rd picks.

But the real change under Power has been his ability to attract decent KPs. Unheard.of. A++++

Once Reid dug his heels in, JMac would have folded like a cheap suit. Look at the deal he did for Bonar - earlier in the trade period he was claiming a top 30 pick as fair. Gets to the deadline and settles for a swap of future 3rd & 4ths.

Very happy to slammin’ Sammy Power in the hot seat.

If all goes to plan the difference between these picks will be minimal, with the Crows likely to drop like a lead balloon and our mob hopefully getting right to the pointy end.

The only outlier with J-Mac is the Shiel deal. He completely bent Dodoro over a barrel 12 months ago, which is why the Dodo was never going to budge on Daniher this time around.

Met a fellow Doggies member today who said she got a memo that said no delistings (as opposed to none yet). Anyone in the know?

Answered in another thread. We need to delist at least two main listed players as a matter of course. Maybe follow up with 'how is that possible?'

Thems the ones.

Re: Rating The Trade Period

So I'm broadening the question of the thread to rating our list management period for all 5 players incoming:

Trade: Bruce (KPF), Keath (KPD)
Draft: Weightman (Sml Fwd), Butler (HBF/Wing), Garcia (Mid)

Re: Rating The Trade Period

We need time to rate the draft.

I believe our list is a good one, but we now need results on field.
