Trade and Free Agency rumours
Where did I say we shouldn't replenish the list? I was referring to the idea that Geelong have all these top picks and new players coming to them (supposedly) and was making the obvious argument that it's not a fair comparison - their core will all have retired over the next 3 years. Likewise, I hope we're not taking your panic stations attitude either. The idea that the bottom 6 win premierships is nonsense. Look at Richmond. Their top players won it for them, specifically Martin. The rest are role players in a system. It's not 1996 anymore. System always wins out.

Trade and Free Agency rumours
It's not like for like though, is it? When we won our premiership, we were aiming to be the first premiership team to ever play another game together. It'd never happened before, such was the age profile of our list. Oliver and Petracca not yet at their physical peaks, Lever, Kozzy and Jackson at the time etc. Compare this with Geelong and they face the very real possibility of falling off a cliff next year due to their age profile. They need to replenish their list. We didn't. We were undone by injury to our best players. Had Geelong suffered a similar fate, they don't win the flag. As simple as that.

Farewell Jayden Hunt
I feel sorry for @Lucifers Hero the most. You must be devo mate.

Improving the Demons coaching staff for 2023?
Coaching is about results, not playing career. The Giants forward half has been a shambles for a few seasons. Why do we want Stevey J?

Farewell Brodie Grundy
It makes sense. Collingwood would want to get it out of the way early as they have so many players nominating them that they need to understand their salary cap position and what picks they have to leverage.

I think I've told it twice, but time and time and again.

I reckon that's too slanted in the Bulldogs' favour. One first rounder is surely enough. Two seems excessive.

Jack Bowes Salary Dump
I don't know enough about Bowes to say one way or the other. But Hibbo for Bowes is not really an apt comparison as they don't play the same position. The better comparison is Baker though and I'd be happy to get pick 7 and exchange Bowes for Baker without knowing anything about him. The only question remains is how much salary cap space do we have? If bringing Bowes in impacted us getting, say, Naughton, I'd be against it.

Jack Bowes Salary Dump
It depends if we have other targets. But taking on a NQR just to get pick 7 is essentially taking on a list clogger and hoping you hit pick 7. It's a brave new world, I guess.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Grundy pretty much is the older version of LJ, just not as quick or good by foot, but a million times better in the ruck.

What's next for Adem Yze?
I wouldn't mind Yze moving to forward coach and strategy, shift Stafford to ruck coach and bring in a new midfield coach. But what would I know?

Just waiting for GNF to come in here and claim chook's info from a few weeks/months back as his own again. Come on down, mate.

They did, but then didn't include it in what Bulldogs received, so I didn't like it.- Aaron Naughton
Where do the two top 10 picks go in this set up?- Jordan De Goey
Very interesting. My mail was St Kilda are in with a huge shot at luring him and Ben King this off season.- Aaron Naughton
You are hilarious. Are you taking the [censored] here?- Aaron Naughton
So there's us allowing Tomlinson to seek a trade to the Bulldogs, whilst still under contract. There's how the feck do Fremantle satisfy our demands of two first rounders? Henry's seen on Clarry's instagram stories. Would all parties be satisfied with the following: Bulldogs give up Naughton. Bulldogs receive Lobb, a top 10 pick (via Melbourne) and Tomlinson. Melbourne gives up Jackson, Tomlinson & a top 10 pick. Melbourne receives Henry and Naughton. Fremantle gives up Lobb, Henry & a top 10 pick. Fremantle receives Jackson. Crazier things have happened. We then give up our future first rounder (hopefully end of first round) for Grundy. Grundy, Naughton and Henry would be a huge off season and change the face of our forward half.- Trade and Free Agency rumours

In the words of the great Kevin Sorbo, "disappointed".- Farewell Luke Jackson
If the future first goes for Grundy and Henry's thrown in (or part of another trade), that leaves pick 8 for the Astronaut. We allow the Bulldogs to take Tomlinson and maybe a later pick exchange upgrade for them too. Like it. 😉 Where's that new thread, @Engorged Onion? - Aaron Naughton
