Bulldogs want pick 2 or 3

What

I find it amusing when clubs like Carlton say that we will trade Gartlett out but then I hear from their supporters he is worth a 2nd rounder.

It's a bit like us with Blease - we will facilitate a trade for him - we can't ask anything unrealistic for him as clubs know we are going to delist him.

Cooney's knees problems are well publicised - even by his own club - the only use he is, is if we get injuries to players ( beside knees) - we can use him for spare parts.

    Adam Conney and pick 5 for pick 2 and 3 has been offered by the dogies.

    An old injury prone ex blown low winner who has 2 year left in him for 2 10 year players.

    No thanks

    are you kidding?

    was this a real offer or some fb/forum dreamer?

    source?

    The likes of Blease/Tapscott/Evans and a host of others would be sweeteners to deals - nothing more.

    exactly...double purpose...off our books onto theirs !! :)

    No, thanks. I'd prefer to keep pick 3 than get rid of one of our list cloggers and gain a mediocre opposition player.

    Disagree on Hrovat. Reckon he's a good young player. But can't say I blame anyone for wanting to keep 2 & 3.

    I'm cool to trade both picks, in fact, I hope we do. I just want to net something a bit better than Hrovat. : )

    Cooney cooked. Bone on bone in the knees.

    Been a good player, but I wouldn't have thought he suits us.

    & in the head.... no tanks.

    Pretty sure your source for this was a 'suggestion' on BigFooty, and, if so, the suggestion was for pick 2 OR 3, not both.

    Still, a hilarious thought. Cooney has no value whatsoever anymore.

    I read it the afl website in the trade radio part.

    name being thrown around a lot is Nathan Hrovat

    the kid is 174 centimeters according to footywire

    Hed wanna be bloody good if we are moving down 3 places at the top end of the draft for a midget

  • Quote

    I honestly just don't rate Hrovat enough for him to be the catalyst for this trade, but struggle to think who else they'd offer.

    Clay Smith? Underwhelmed.

    Wallis likewise, and when would a club ever trade a father-son?

    Not only father/son but also legend grandfather/grandson - one J Kennedy.

    LOL, Bulldogs fans won't even entertain a trade where we give them pick 3 in exchange for one of their young midfielders, and they keep pick 6.

    Apparently the likes of Stringer or Macrae are worth picks 2 & 3. More delusional than Colonwood.

    Yeah, someone else said this - but the difference is that JPK wasn't getting a game and wanted to go, while Hawthorn weren't willing to match Sydney's offer and reluctantly traded him.

    Hawthorn didn't offer him up in an effort to get a higher draft pick to get a KPF.

    Not comparing apples with apples here.

    Dogs supporters be like pick 3 and jones for 6. Final offer

    I'm warming to hrovat and 6 for 3. I feel he slid in his draft year and was a good clearance player for metro. Reasonably good disposal eff. Only knock is his height and would a centre bounce of hrovat and viney be too short

    Wow....the Kennel must stink or something !! :o

    Particularly, as Roos has flagged multiple times the interest (and preference) he has for bigger, taller bodied mids.

    Griffen just walked out of the Kennel.

    Big things happening there.

    Didn't he just sign a 1 year contract extension?

    As in, a few weeks ago?

  • Quote

    I wouldn't downgrade for Hrovat.

    They'd give us Hrovat because he's down the pecking order. Yeah I know, Dom Tyson, Hrovat is no Tyson.

    [censored] the Bulldogs.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
