    Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

    I’ll be watching with interest what Saints give up for Dow compared to what they ask for Coffield.

    Fair to say Dow is worth more than Coffield.

    Both drafted the same year, Dow pick 3; Coffield pick 8 and Dow has played 21 more games.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      Dow is worth...NOTHING.

      Coffield is worth...NOTHING.

      Swap of late round picks.

      If you aren't getting a game and are not a specialist, you aren't worth anything...You want to get something for fringe players? PLAY THEM. Everyone knows Dow is not a first choice midfielder. Everyone knows Coffield can't get on the track.

      All the talk about 'limited opportunities' etc for Dow? Well, if you're good enough, you GET opportunities.

      These two players have no value. Delist them or send them somewhere where the coaching staff are yet to realise the truth and hope you get something in return.

        Add to your list that we have a system where all players demand to be traded to only their first club of choice, including said fringe players.

          Damn I'm never coming to a boxing class with you. There's years of emotional trauma right there.

            Ah.. maybe direct that yelling at Silvangi as I don’t disagree with you - st.kilda have already started posturing around the hill and Coffield trade value will be similar.

              An injured player who has showed potential is better than a player who has had the opportunity and not shown they are up to it.
              IF you can get them over the injuries you can get a diamond in the rough. I would say that’s what we are banking on.

                Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

                Coffield apparently looked pretty solid in his games with Sandringham at the tail end of the year, if he can keep his body right then it's a pretty astute pick up on the cheap.

                  Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

                  Is Dow ahead of Stoker ?
                  It would be interesting to see how they both fair next season if both at saints
                  stoker played 20 games this season

                  Dow can’t get a game behind Kennedy .

                    Fringe players can be great pick ups if the team they play at has an abundance of the same player.
                    The key is to look at who is keeping them out.

                      Stocker played mostly half back flank this year didn't he? Dow more of an inside mid.

                      I liked what I saw of Stocker this year and not sure why he was on the outer at Blues.

                      Dow has been behind Cripps, Walsh, Hewett, Cerra, Kennedy...but when he got a game he played well. I think he's a good pick up.

                        The talk is that Carlton and the Saints will agree on a future 4th round pick for Dow so yep, you're spot on with that valuation.
                        I tend to think Coffield might get done for a F3 or something creative with a swap of picks.
                        I'm not sure how we value Harmes but I suspect it's for bugger all because of his salary. We got nothing for Hunter, they'll get nothing for Harmes.

                          Thought this was a great post.

                          However, I'm also not surprised to see Carlton posturing on Zac Fisher either - pick 42 feels very fair for a guy you aren't sure you want to play each week - and youve already had him 5+ years

                            His season was ok but was dropped for the final against GWS.

                                SOS seems like posturing here around Dow vs Coffield trade values. This probably means he would want similar or better for Coffield than he'd pay for Dow:

                                Zero Hanger
                                Talks of a potential swap involving injury-plagued Saint Nick Coffield were watered down somewhat, with Silvagni highlighting, "I think Nick (Coffield has) finished top five in best & fairest, I don't think Paddy Dow's done that"

                                "We're open to anything but at the same time we've got to make sure that what we bring into our club is going to add to our group,"
                                It always seems impossible until it's done. Nelson Mandela
