Welcome to the Kennel - Nick Coffield

[GVGjr]

Are we back training?

Well the PSD isn't until December if we think we can get him there. I'd rather get him in earlier

The pre season draft is straight after the national draft.

However, don't unsigned players become available for the delisted free agency period from November 1? I'm thinking contracts expire 31 October?

I think it will be a moot point anyway, it's most likely a trade is agreed upon, St Kilda would be dumb to not take something for him.

SAINTS’ COFFIELD DEAL HOPES

The Western Bulldogs’ Pick 39 could be involved in a Nick Coffield trade with St Kilda, reports The Age.

The Saints earlier this week confirmed Coffield, who was drafted with Pick 8 in 2017, was keen to join the Bulldogs after two injury-interrupted seasons, with his most recent AFL game being in Round 23, 2021.

But the Saints are also locked in a free agency stand-off with Essendon over Jade Gresham, while they’re also keen to acquire Paddy Dow from Carlton and Liam Henry from Fremantle.

The Age reported Pick 39, which the Bulldogs acquired from Brisbane during last year’s trade period as part of the Josh Dunkley deal, could be involved in the deal that’d Coffield to Whitten Oval.

The Saints, according to the report, would like Pick 39 to be used in negotiations with Freo for Henry. But the Dockers have already placed a high price on top-10 draftee Henry, who had an excellent finish to his 2023 campaign.

Someone just send SOS my trade outline and get this done already.

So the delay in getting a deal done for Coffield is because the Saints need to know what they'll for Gresham before they can do a pick swap with us for Coffield. The Henry deal will be a part of the consideration as well. All the likely scenario's in the BT analysis.

Looking at the Freo side. If they can get the pick 23 from GCS (probably via Aints) then with their trade with Port, the net effect is Henry upgrades them from 24 into 23 and upgrades their F2 into a F1. Which is not a bad return. They also want a F1 for Schultz. So if they can hit the draft next year with three first rounders they’ll be happy if they need to rebuild at the end of next year.

What about the coach who is about to be out of contract and just missed the finals?

Not sure he would be too excited about giving up players who are starting 18 for draft picks in 12-months time.

Probably should thought about that before selling the farm for Jackson. I wouldn’t want to be him, but since his list boss wants picks next year then you’d think he’d get a little slack if their 2024 isn’t brilliant?

�� In exchange for Nick Coffield, the Western Bulldogs will be giving up a pick in the “40s or 50s”. [@tommorris32]

If that becomes accurate it's a good deal for us.

For reference we have 40, 48 and 53. 53 seems more appropriate unless there's a swap involved since we need to consider points.

We might get a deal done with Port for Sweet which could come into play as well.

Why? How?

I can imagine mjp feedback is direct and they don’t like it.
