Trades & SC 2016

[doddy2731]

Not an obvious one, but Bell could be a smokey for an upgrade target and Rosa may surprise.

Also i'm thinking rockliff he will be underpriced too so we could go in with both Rocky and Ablett from the start.

 

[Dino]

Yeah I was thinking Rocky would be underpriced as well. Gaz, Jelwood and Rocky are a pretty handy 3 prong attack for our mids.

 

[doddy2731]

How good would that be starting those 3 straight up?
It's almost to good to be true, it'd be SC Heaven.

Thinking the byes being later this year will be better give rookies more time to ripe and more time to finalise team before byes very different to 2015

What do we all think about the bye week before the Finals?
Will this stop the resting of players leading in or not?

Don't like it. Resting players before finals happens in plenty of sports. It's just smart management. I don't want a non-footy weekend at the end of August / start of September. No horses / basketball / cricket etc on…what are we supposed to do?!

 

[doddy2731]

Yeah i'm not a fan either. I don't think it's a good look and some teams leading into the finals may just lose momentum. I'm sick of the AFL changing things.

 

[doddy2731]

If Farren Ray gets listed as a rookie next year, he could be a great pick up on the sly!

 

[doddy2731]

Anyone else looking at Daisy?
He'll be well under priced, new coach and is training now and by all reports staying together.
Could he be a dark horse for some early coin?

 

[tiltraise]

I think both Gore + Jansen are worth looking at in p/s.

I reckon it is crap and a something not a lot of thought was put into. The AFLPA and players wanted an extra bye to ease the burden of the long season and what does the AFL do… Introduce a bye that only benefits half the competition. I thought they got it right last year with the 2nd bye (rd 18/19 if I remember correctly).

 

[doddy2731]

Good to see another local lad getting a gig at the Dees, well done Clayton all the best.
Anyone looking forward to any particular rookies getting a run next year?

 

[doddy2731]

Aidyn Johnson is joining Ollie @ Port.

 

[M4TT B8S]

Dunkley and Collins both slipping to 25 and 26! Good draft by the Dogs yet again, can't wait for Dunkley in supercoach, if he can get a spot in our team he'll be a ripper, 189cm tall midfielder and can go forward and kick goals too. Also read he's a clutch player #TheBontMark2

 

[doddy2731]

Looking forward to a little redemption next season in SC.
Seems to be a reasonable crop of players this year, may not be a good thing though and could bring a real revolving door scenario to some clubs.

 

[doddy2731]

Farren Ray at North is he a rookie? If so could be a great money maker.

Yup wil be a rookie, but I'm assuming still full-price-ish (for him). What on Earth are North thinking there? Are they trying to break the record for the oldest list in VFL / AFL history?

 

[M4TT B8S]

Sinclair roughly 405-415k, probably dual position again, LOCK HIM IN

 

[doddy2731]

I see B.Smith has DPP. Lock down back.
