Bulldog ONLY Trade News

[hujsh]

That’s not what I’m hearing from Carlton supporters it’s more like he is a good player but was forced to play up forward and is more a mid.

That pretty much is what I said. Not good enough to get mid minutes he wants at Carlton, likely to be the same story here.

[bulldogtragic]

If Butters ends up at the cats I may just throw the towel in.

He’s under contract next year. They’ll probably chase Oliver again.

Extremely sad to see two Bullgods leave today, but let's face it both had become depth, would have liked to have kept that but to now have a good draft hand is a tick, and to bring in Kennedy who will most likely be a best 22 player is a plus, pick 38 is probably about right for him, top 10 in this years Carlton B&F, we got paid unders for Smith but reckon we got overs for Daniel, we obviously needed that pick upgrade from Geelong to give to the blues, would have liked XOH for midfield coverage more than anything but we can probably pay less when he's out of contract next year if we're still interested, probably better anyway as next years draft isn't as strong as this years according to Cal Twomey.

Odds on he will.

Won't be Cats more than likely Hawks, Bombres, Blues or just stay. Pie in the sky stuff.

I think you need to add context of getting MacRae's and Daniel's salary off our books . The $$$ now are being factored into trade week to balance salary cap.

But great analysis , thanks

Ok great. We got some cash off the books. Now what do we do with it? Piss it up the wall on average players like Harmes, Kennedy and Coffield?

What're we doing with it though? Guess Darcy'll need a pay rise. Richards too. Still got that Hurley money out back somewhere.

I think it will enable us to pay Darcy what his market value will be, and presumably Bont and Marra, and cross fingers attract a top notch player next year.

And retain Richards.

So who's the star player out of contract next year that'll bend us over a barrel? Or is this an evens year thing.

Well I don't think Adz, Bont or Darcy would do that.

Richards maybe but his comments late in the season were promising.

The others aren't a worry if they left. We might be in the clear.

But I suspect Marra will want out the following year. We should try trade him next year.

I tell you what if we're sitting here in 2 years time with the same outcome - a 2nd rounder for Marra after he chooses a top 4 team it hink that'll do it for me.

[The Underdog]

Garcia, Sanders and Harmes just off the top of my head.

To be fair, Kennedy might be the best player of the 4 at the present moment. Garcia and Sanders should get opportunities. Kennedy has enough flexibility to play a couple of roles. Not totally in love with it, but we?ve had a lot of experience go out and he helps fill that gap a little bit.

Carlton's midfield is pretty good and younger than ours.

He will be part of the mid-field rotation. Don't mind he pick up. Like it better than Harmes.

Big dollars for Bont, Darcy and Richards
