Just having fun with trade week.

[Sockeye Salmon]

This is what I think will happen.

Trade 1.

Hudson > WB
Callan > WB
Pick 22 (WB) > Ade
Pick 27 (Ade) > Gee
Pick 34 (Gee) > Ade
Pick 54 (WB) > Gee
Pick 66 (Gee) > WB


WB
Gain: Hudson, Callan, pick 66
Lose: Pick 22, pick 54

Ade
Gain: Pick 22, pick 34
Lose: Hudson, pick 27

Gee
Gain: Pick 27, pick 54
Lose: Callan, pick 34, pick 66

_______________________________


Trade 2

Kennedy and pick 20 for pick 5

_______________________________


Trade 3

Power, pick 38 > NM for picks 32 & 48

_______________________________


We end up with Hudson, Callan, Kennedy, pick 20, pick 32, pick 48 & pick 66


The picks are all slight improvements on our 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th rounders, so we've basically got three players for pick 5 and Power.



It seems like I'm the only Bulldog supporter who actually thinks the Kennedy trade is a good one. Getting over the slag-off-Carlton hysterics, he's a big kid that can play.

We have no guarantees that our pick 5 selection either. Melbourne could easily take McEvoy at 4 and is there really any other key forward worth taking at 5?

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

Sockeye, I agree with your assessment of Kennedy.

Dont know about the trading of the picks, but we could do worse than pick him up....

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

Sockeye, overall that wouldn't be a bad result for us, and is probably fair to the other clubs involved.

Alot would rest on just how well Kennedy develops. I'm not totally convinced by him, however I don't think (even with the amount of draft scrutiny today) no 5 pick will be a lock by any means.

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

Kennedy would be OK because he is ready made to break into a senior line up like ours.
I dont get Trade 3 but is it just to improve the pick selections ? Wouldn't we want a player with some senior experience to replace Power ?I thought the list was a bit light on for experience last year and I think we at least need to consider that with any trade.

I would swap Kennedy for pick 5.

MJP, I see youve said the same thing on BF.

What do you see as Kennedys strengths/weaknesses?

mjp, you're the casting vote. We have a choice of Josh Kennedy or Ben McEvoy, who do we take?

I only included the Power trade because he's asked for a trade and there was some BF rumour about North. What is he worth? Personally, I'd say not much, but apparently there are about 4 clubs interested in him.

I thought pick 48 and a slight 3rd round upgrade was around the mark.

I would expect Power and Callan would just about cancel each other out.

I thought you disliked those East Freo types?

[Go_Dogs]

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

Is it looking more likely that we will trade on pick 5 again? For what it's worth, I don't think we'll trade on pick 5.

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

i hope it doesnt happen

i dont like kennedy, nor do i think he would be any good at our club, id rather see harbrow in there every week.

I think this might happen/what i wanna see

Kennedy & Pick 3, 20 > WCE
Judd > Carlton

McMahon & Pick 38 > Adelaide
Hudson & Pick 27 > Bulldogs

Sam Power > Brisbane
Pick 25 > Bulldogs

And if we were to get Damon White..
White > Bulldogs
Pick 25 & 54 > Port

[LostDoggy]

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

Sorry to poo poo that one but I don't think McMahon is going anywhere.
Also you don't want Kennedy but you trade for White?
If you get pick 25 for Power I'd be happy but I doubt it.

[LostDoggy]

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

They dont think McMahon is going anywhere but we might need to use him if we want Hudson.

White we can give a go, put him on a 2yr deal and see if we can use him as a key forward..

Although Rocket mentioned he will be developing Minson up forward, so im looking fwd to that.

Quite possible, although I understand that the reason we were involved was because Kennedy didn't want to go back to Perth.

McMahon & Pick 38 > Adelaide
Hudson & Pick 27 > Bulldogs

No need to pay this much for Hudson. McMahon has indicated he wants to stay and is about to sign a new 2 year deal.

Sam Power > Brisbane
Pick 25 > Bulldogs

Daylight robbery, take it and run. Won't happen though.

And if we were to get Damon White..
White > Bulldogs
Pick 25 & 54 > Port

"Fit but doesn't contest" I think the quote was. 25 & 54 is too much. If you said Power and 54, maybe (same thing).

Re: Just having fun with trade week.

It may sound silly but if Adelaide want a player for Hudson I'd tell em to go jump. If we lose out on him via the PSD than so be it but to lose a player of Jordan's quality for someone who we probably have a +70% chance of getting for nothing is suicide.
