Stevens nominated Dogs

[FQF]

@RalphyHeraldSun: NEWS: Dogs win the race for Koby Stevens. Hard inside mid, former no. 22 pick. Told the Dogs last night. Details on http://t.co/8fDNgNF8

There goes that...

[Dis Believer]

HOpefully that means we are either still a chance to do Brown for Cripps, or, even better, Cripps is staying.

Wow this trade period is going beautifully isn't it?

This trade period has been a disaster. When players pick the dogs over us there are serious issues.

+1, this is depressing...

[Rosco]

It could be purely cash related. Dogs have a fair bit of space you'd imagine. And still need to get a deal done.

3 way trade?

Cripps to eagles, Stevens to dogs... Who from dogs?

Why? I think its been pretty good so far. Picked up Tom Lee and a couple of picks in return for #12. Seems like a pretty good trade there. We still expect to do a deal for Hickey, so accept for the Brown deal, we'll probably achieve exactly what we wanted...

seems like people just want gets sum players for sake of it ???? did we really need him, whos to say we cant draft a better kid ??
We need a key back and ruck, fare more important . Lets wait and see wat pans out

Exactly, don't get what all the fuss is about.

Just had a glance at their list - not many there who excite me. Maybe Michael Talia, is he any good? 195cm, 88kg defender.

[Gershwin]

Agree with Kimberly Saint. Do we want Stevens? I don't. We need to focus on getting a backup Ruckman and a key defender and not get distracted by other players that are available. Keep early draft picks for talented youngsters.

Not who... What.. What pick?

Cripps has already moved and living in WA according to SEN this morning. That may make it a tad hard for us to keep him.

The only thing closer to acceptable in that arrangement would be pick 21......DOgs next pick is 41. Seems unders to me.
Maybe they swap their 41 for our 43 as well, or the Eagles pick 38 gets swapped for our 43.

[savatage]

That's good news, don't rate him at all.

Spot on!

[SaintTom]

I don't think we were too keen on him. I'd reckon the dogs made him a better offer of money or game time or both, and we seemed pretty adamant that we wanted the Cripps deal to be for Brown. Not fussed we missed out on this one.

21 for Cripps seems unders? What?

Wellingham and Dawes are premiership players still approaching the prime of their careers, and they were worth 17 and 20 respectively. How can you possibly justify a price as high as 21 for Cripps, an unproven outside player who's still a reasonable chance of playing less than 50 games in his career?

We just don't know what's going on behind the scenes.The release of the Goddard compensation will get the ball rolling.
There is a reason it has been quiet. Maybe we didn't want Stevens badly enough....

[SaintWodonga]

Just been posted on facebook that we have done a deal with GCS for Hickey, pick 34! Great win for us!

Big defender, backup ruckman.

That is all.

[joffaboy]

Still more than a week to go.

Dont panick.

Even if we only get Lee and Hickey, we will have #13, and you dont know what we will top up with in the later picks of the draft.

Plenty of players will be out of contract soon. Geelong have 5 ruckmen, David Hille hasn't signed etc.

Let it all pan out.

hasn't been a "disaster" at all.

Having a midfielder looking for opportunities choose your team is a bad sign, not a good one. Stevens would be behind at least Hayes, Dal, Joey, Steven and Armo at this club. Probably a lot of others too. Hardly a disaster missing out on him.

But Monfries chose Port over us - "DISASTER"
