Dal trade discussion
Heard this on radio over weekend and was horrified tbh
At a time where we are bemoaning sh!te ball use.... we would be silly to even look at this wouldn't we?
I really like Dal Santo... hate to see him in a Bombers jumper.... but I guess that depends on whether Pelchens/Watters reckon he'll be round for our next shot
Gonna be an interesting trade period...

It's a brave new world Teffs. As supporters, we are only just getting used to proper recruiting after the 08/09 disaster years.Teflon wrote:Heard this on radio over weekend and was horrified tbh

Whatever happens it may turn out for the better. Pelchen is no dill. Maybe we will get some KPP's in return that we desperately need?

Re: Dal trade discussion
One thing that we need to do as we restructure our list, is to retain our Club icons. They are the heart of the Club and models for the younger guys to build a new team around. No way for me, re. moving Dal on!
Re: Dal trade discussion
essendon's top pick will be, what, 10 or something? that really doesn't feel like quite enough.dragit wrote:It would want to be a pretty good pick
first and second picks - 10 and 30? yeah, i reckon, even though i love the bloke and would hate to see him go. but if that left us with roughly 9, 10, 29, 30, 45 we'd be in a pretty solid position to get five good kids onto the list.
unfortunately we now know that he won't play in the next saints premiership, so if he stays at st kilda he will never play in a premiership at all. if he wanted to go i'd be hard pressed to tell him he couldn't.

Re: Dal trade discussion
Same but Bombers have nibbled at Dal before Ang god knows their midfield could use his class.... interesting listen to Watson suggest that with them drafting Daniher they may be in a position to off load a tall..... I rate Crameripaddy wrote:i would prefer to lose BJ than Dal...
So their 1st pick and Crameri..... would be tempting.... for Goddard...and we'll keep dal!!

He's only 186cm, and there is no way the Bombers would be letting him go.Teflon wrote:Same but Bombers have nibbled at Dal before Ang god knows their midfield could use his class.... interesting listen to Watson suggest that with them drafting Daniher they may be in a position to off load a tall.....

That's the problem with these 'rich clubs', they all want the best players from other clubs, but don't want to give up anything remotely similar in value. They'll probably offer up something like Ricky Dyson and their 3rd round pick.
The other thing the Bombers will be keen to get done is Josh Caddy, which will take at least their 1st pick you would think.

Our most skillful user of the footy since ..he was drafted.
You start off by cleaning out players who can't kick or handball properly. I won't name names but you all know who they are.

Re: Dal trade discussion
Not Dal.
Finished top 3 in the b&f last year, was unlucky not to win it to be honest.
I realise we are probably going to make big moves this year, and I'll have to get my head around it, but ball use and classy disposal is not what we should be getting rid of....surely?

Re: Dal trade discussion
Yes - if this was the same discussion I heard it was Mark Robinson on SEN on Saturday.Was very earnest in his suggestion that we should consider trading Dal because he has serious currency. Horrified at the thought tbh

Of course Robbo would live anything to bolster that pathetic Bombers midfield...

Re: Dal trade discussion
I can understand how it would be attractive to trade with Bombers, that goes for most clubs, you'd reckon they'd be pretty desperate for mids/leadership.
Dal though?
Nah.
Reckon they'd like Joey, not that I'd condone that one either.
Didn't they go for Armo in 2010?

Re: Dal trade discussion
These rumors about Dal going to the bummers seems to be an annual event. It would be crazy for us to even consider it.
I love this club
Re: Dal trade discussion
Have this sneaking suspicion we will see a big name or two on the trade table, wouldn't be surprised to hear either Dal or Joeys name being thrown around, doesn't mean they will go though!
Thats Mr. Smartarse to you
Re: Dal trade discussion
Good, they have currency and we need to start the process. Not that I dont think they can play and they have been tremendous servants of the club, but both seem a bit tired, a change of club for one or both could be a good thing.Buckets wrote:Have this sneaking suspicion we will see a big name or two on the trade table, wouldn't be surprised to hear either Dal or Joeys name being thrown around, doesn't mean they will go though!
Look, we have about 10 players 29 or over. I think Dal and Joey are in those 10.
If we dont start turning over the players with currency all ten will retire and we will look like the Bulldogs or GWS (but without the potential).
It is harsh and I understand the emotional attachment, but the times they are a changin' and our midfield needs a huge revamp.
Lance or James??

Re: Dal trade discussion
JB I would only allow one, I would rather keep Dal, think Joey might be the one to go. IMO

Trading with the dons is like doing the deed with a pro who has the clap.
You will pay too much , and get ongoing grief for years.

That means this years draft is compramised yet again and we and essendon get pushed back.

Re: Dal trade discussion
Ironically we could end up with a pick around #13, where we took him in the first place.
Wouldn't mind another 18YO Dal!
Realistically though, I don't think any players 29+ are worth a first round pick… it's a lot to pay for a player that may only get 2-3 years, and is probably past their best. You would have to be very close to a flag to do that. Ala Jolly - Pies, but awesome ruckmen are rarer than collingwood supports front teeth…

Re: Dal trade discussion
the issue with Dal is he does not break many hard tags
I am still getting over T Hunt getting the first two goals on Friday
A few times this year Dal has been found out in the big games
We need to get used to the fact that with free agency, players are going to be coming and going alot more
So if we have to we have to

Re: Dal trade discussion
Impossible to get a first round draft pick from essendon considering they'll need to use it on Daniher..
Re: Dal trade discussion
Dal won't be traded
We will put on the table
Jones
Gilbert
Montagna
Kosi might have to go to glue factory ( cheap Kosi shot but I couldn't help it)
Essendon can go suck it
