Trade talk 2019/20

@Rancey18 seems to be having a crack at our list management

Zips pots everyone and then pumps up Polec - hard to comprehend.

and Dunstan :vomitZips is so annoyed with how good we've become that he wants us to fill the list with list cloggers again so he can get back to what he enjoys the most, potting the club.

I am sick of seeing us keeping Markov compared against keeping Naish and Stack by posters on here. How many times do people on here need to say that those two were contracted for 2021.

Oleg was a victim of reducing list sizes, bad timing with being out of contract (he was probably lucky to have had a contract for this year given he would have been on most people's delisting lists coming into this season), and us having won 3 out of 4 premierships.

Realistically it was between Oleg, Houli and Broad.
I dont think that is right. Markov is leaving because he has a better offer. I am pretty confident we would have re-contracted him if we could, but he has made the decision to leave.

I have no doubt we would have wanted to re-contract him, but realistically he would be fighting for a spot against Bachar and Broad. The club turned their attention to signing up these guys as a priority (as they should), and so whilst they would have liked to have kept Oleg he decided his future lay elsewhere.

If we prioritised Oleg over either of these two then he would have been kept. So I do see it as a choice between them - and I think we made the right choice (even though I would have liked to have kept him as well).

Yeah - we weren't gonna match that offer.

Reckon Markov made a mistake leaving as IMO he could have cemented a spot in the team and perhaps got himself a medal. Especially with Houli's ageing calves. Now he has very little chance of a premiership. 2 year deal, get a medal, then get the bigger dollars.
 
No suitors for Treloar or TAB.

Let's offer Collingwood a 4th rounder and they pay 250k of his wage.
Then we might consider it.

**even that is overs
 
Footscary are going for another year without a flag. Last year it was big bad busling Bruce and this year the ever reliable jibber Hannan.
Beveridge is a goose

Dogs have enquired.
Don’t think he wants to go there.
So it looks likely that he stays put and maybe another player is squeezed out.
Same problem next year.

Rinse & repeat.

LaFawnduh Treloar is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m 100% positive she’s he's my soul team mate.

Going to Footscary.
Unbelievable how the scum bags are able to stooge other clubs
He is owed 4.5 mill.
Good luck

It's irritating other clubs look to be interested at the Pies discards, can't they see they are wanting to get rid of these particular contracted players for a reason.

Talk now Stephenson has interest from the Roos.

I'd hate for the Dogs and Roos to bail the Pies out of their salary cap dilemma, especially for 2 suspect players.

My only consolation is I can re-watch the 2020 GF to take my mind off it.

Fair suck of the sauv. Twenty times might be a bit rich. Ross’ first year was elite until he got injured. We’d have to hope he can get back there.
Okay I may have added some Mayo on the 20x, and I really like Ross, but Treloar is a gun.

What is going on at the Bulldogs. Really weird, totally scatter gun strategy these 2-3 years.
Schache bust. Josh Bruce bust. Taylor Duryea bust. Treading water.

Tim English rucking solo all year. Recognise they need support and get Stefan Martin, who'll last 1 year tops. Instead of paying a bit more (in a year they can afford to pay more), for a slightly better ruck who could help for 1-2 years.

I wouldnt even entertain the Dunkley deal. Not only will Essendon drag it out and try and pay unders, the Dogs should back themselves to convince him to stay over these next 2 years. And Essendon are also so scatter gun, they are just as likely to not come back calling for Dunkley next year - having moved onto someone else they try and bribe with an inflated contract. Only to again fall over in putting a fair deal together!

What’s the bet he asks for a trade the following year.
Has openly said he wanted to :

1. play for a big melb club
2. Be in the premiership window
3. Play in front of big crowds
4. Play at the MCG

Dunkley vs Treloar

If Dunkley leaves then Treloar possibly but will he commit for 5 years at the Dogs?

Pies are not prepared to pay much of his salary & for the 5 years.

Wonder if any other club will come into play?

Why would you take Treloar on such a high salary? I don't get it, he is being paid overs because he was paid less over the last couple of years. You don't take on another clubs problem. Maybe they negotiated his salary down.
