End of season movements. FA, trades, bullshit etc.

[HH3]

We've got guys that have been playing the same role, better, for longer.

We need runners. We had too many inside players.

Let Zeibell go? (Can play mid and forward, best in and under we have)
Let Cunnington go? (Actually won the B&F)
Let Swallow go? (The clubs captain)
Or let Greenwood go? (Had one good year out of 6)

You decide...

Think it was about the $$$ more than anything. In he end based on your current list he was expendable.

[kickinit]

Does he get a game ahead fo Swallow, Cunnington & Ziebell?

No. Good list management decision.

Surely you could fit all 4 in the side.

So pickering comes out* and says Boyd will quit whether it's this year or next.

So with his contract expiring after next season would GWS get any compo it he left after his contract expires? Surely not...

he is not a free agent so they will not receive anything. it's either do a trade in trade week, or he goes to the PSD with a $$ amount on his head. If a club wants to match that (other than the bulldogs) he has to go there. That's my understanding of it anyway

[nuggety goodness]

So GWS lose picks for Griffin and Boyd quits. Win win for the doggies

[Booney]

2015...geez he was OK for the Pies

Time will tell but Im guessing Pick 25 will still be playing in 4 years time, not sure Greenwood will.

Time will tell indeed, pick 25 might never play a game....

The assessment above is fair enough, you need more outside runners, I still think I'd take Greenwood over pick 25 ( an unknown )

[Sorry Dude]

Potentially. Say if the Dogs have Pick 3 in the PSD and Boyd says i want $750k a year and whoever has pick 1 and 2 can jump in and pay that amount and he will have to honour that.

Someone correct me if I am wrong though.

Nope but he will have to enter the draft and could up anywhere.

That stands true for any trade for any pick.

My frustration comes from discussions a fair few pages back where people were talking about Greenwood like he's the next Ablett. Nobody even mentioned him until now.

[Coach Bombay]

what's his excuse for wanting to quit his club to move to victoria?

Sick of players saying they want to move back to victoria - reeks of softness

I'd move state for a 6 year contract worth $1mill a season

Kangaroos will hate this trade in the coming years

[Q.]

I'd be happy with that from him in 2015.
But feeling nervous about this trade.

We lost our second best mid and a bloke who, albeit is poco loco, finished fourth in the Copeland this year.

And replaced them with Greenwood, two list cloggers, and a pick in a shitty draft.

Yeah, I'm not nervous, I'm pissed off.

[MW]

Where do you get the notion its a shitty draft? Every "expert" I have heard from has said it goes deep this year.

Find some new 'experts'.

I'm sure one of the three (5, 25 or Crisp) will work out for you.......
