Domgus Petrogan

After reading through a lot of this thread, my opinion for the simplest way to determine a fair trade is that it has to equal at least the pick he would be taken in a 2019 redraft knowing what we know now. 

Anything that doesn’t finish up with a pick in the low single digits is a “lost trade” for us. 

The way he transformed his body this preseason also needs to be commended. There’s no doubt it’s playing a huge role in his ability to make an impact in contests both in the ruck and around the stoppages.
 

Imagine what he’ll be capable of when he’s a man! 

Hi All,

I'm in Vic and have a Trident reserved seat membership and my membership qualifies for a guaranteed GF ticket (P1).

As I won't be able to make it, I'm willing to pass it on to someone who is Perth/can get there, but just wanted to make sure it goes to the right person. 

Reimbursement not essential, but I'll take it I have to! Haha

Any suggestions?

It did work out. We got him during his best years, he was a valuable contributor during the rebuild, we continued to build after he was traded out, and he got a much longer career than the average AFL player.

Only pity for mine is he couldn’t quite notch up 100 games for the club.

Sorry Nasher. I meant for him. I liked him, hence the 'Dom' in Domgus Petrogan.

Runner-Up for the Bluey in 2014. It's a shame it didn't work out.

  Yeah maybe he does, but isn't nice to be on the other side of it for once!

Great read!

How much mileage would we get out of a thread where we re-post our historical (extremely) wide of the mark opinions on players? There's a couple of crackers here. 

Can someone please start an 'Aged Like Milk' thread? It would be gold!

Thanks for the heads up Ditcha!

1. Gambling on good ladder finishes that seem unlikely
2. Giving away good 2nd round picks for short term wins - Frost, Hibberd, Melksham, the Howe trade to get the Weid pick
3. Develop a list heavy on top end talent but with huge holes

4. Profit?

 

Nice South Park reference!

Other clubs must think we are serial pests the way we keep asking to swap picks. Yet it is fantastic that all clubs know we are open to do business. That's what trading is all about.

My guess now is that we are after Bulldogs pick 14, because they will lose it on Jamar-Ugle anyway.

Haven't done the maths but picks 25 and 28 are worth more points than 14 I think.

Pick 25 (756 points) + Pick 28 (677 points) = 1,433

Pick 14 = 1,161

Biggest question for me, is how he and TMac play in the same side?

With the likelihood of Brown, Weid and Jacko up fwd, he and TMac would be fighting for a spot down back imo.

The first comment on that is priceless 

The Lionel Hutz one?

Not sure that’s true. 

Maybe we don't have appropriate trade assets to satisfy Collingwood and Hawthorn do?

Do you think it may just be possible that Phillips didn’t want to come to the MFC? That it may not have been our decision to make? Why are we always so keen to blame the Club in circumstances like this?

Beat me to it! It's hard to trade for a bloke that doesn't want to play for your club.

I thought Collingwood were interested in Tommy? No mention of Phillips I think he will be part of the deal that secures Tommy.

Think or hope? Haha

I think Adam Treloar should just bite the bullet and move up to Queensland to the Gold Coast Suns to be with his Wife and newborn child. That's what most people would do.

I don't know if the Demons can afford his very expensive contract...but there's no harm and at least speaking to his manager I guess?

Why would he do that if his wife’s contract is only for a year and his is for 5? Especially when he’s said they intend to stay in Melbourne long term.

2 years. I like Hunt, so I'm happy with this.

I also like Hunt and share your positivity.

Provided the contract and trade value are reasonable, it's a great get for our club!

It's either him or Jones I decided on Jones get his 300 hundred out of the way.

I figured that would be the alternative for a spot on the IC. I still have high hopes for Harmes.

IC: BRAYSHAW, JONES, HUNT, HORE

Harmes?

Bit of a worry that a guy on a long term deal isn’t best 22.

Brown and smith are coming, hind I think will as well, and there are two other players who’d walk into our best 22 that haven’t been mentioned on here that I’ve been asked not to name. But I’m sure demonlanders won’t complain when the names are revealed. 

we’re desperate to get young macrae through the door.
 

looking at a similar restructure to our list as the saints had last year introducing a lot of speed to their side 

Man I hope you're legit! haha

Just now, picket fence said:

Hunt to play this role!

I don’t mind that either, but how to we keep Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Brayshaw and Harmes in the same game day team? All at their best are far too good not to be playing, but can’t all play only as mids.

Agreed we should have the superiorty in the air most weeks with all of them playing, I also think Jackson is so versatile to play a variety of positions that we can make it work. Regarding tackling pressure to compliment them, I reckon we should play Viney as a forward pocket. This would allow for Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Trac to fit into our midfield and I reckon he has some qualities of a good small forward. Tackles relentlessly, has tricks to win 1 v 1's, very strong and can be zippy at times, if he could add another string to his bow with kicking harder goals like snaps more consistently I reckon he'd be a great compliment to the talls up forward.

I agree, I think one of Harmes or Viney should be looked at as a small forward, as both are not 100% necessities in the midfield at all times with Petracca, Oliver and Brayshaw (assuming he recaptures his form/stays) but are far too good not to play.

When playing at North - hate his stupid run up, hate his flopping for frees, hate how straight of a kick he is for goal and I hate his stupid hair cut.

Now that he is pretty much going to be a Demon - the run up is perfect and genius, those free kicks are always there and he gets a poor run from the umps, he is a beautiful set shot and I wish I had a hair cut like his.

Great post. Got a solid nose exhale out of me!
