2014: Retirements, Delistings and Trade Rumours

Ridiculous trade by the Bulldogs. On what they're giving away it is like Boyd is guaranteed to be a "Buddy" or NRoo. He's not!
They were like the guy at the carnival that keeps paying $5 for 3 balls, and ends up paying $40 for a $20 teddy bear!
I think they got too focussed on the prize, and forgot to keep track of the price!
I will be honest, and say there is a lot I don't like about Collingwood (I won't go into that here!), but I will give them their due. Each and every trade period they play hard-ball and end up level or in front on their trades. Brisbane have probably paid overs for Beams, and Collingwood mark another small win on their trade score card!

Great post re the dogs Rowsus. untried player into 7 year contract = big call.
i agree we paid overs but there's a resounding sense of satisfaction within our club, now having Beams and Christensen. i think they did it more to appease fans/members and give us some hope, as well as adding an a-lister to our young team.

WOWZERS!!!!
Boys has to now be the Bulldog's saviour! Will he be the next Jack Watts...
I think they've done well to at least get him for Griffen, though pick 6 could be a gun as well, who knows...
Liba gets the clearance, out to Bontempelli, long kick inside 50... BOYD!!!
I think we could be hearing that a bit in the next 10 years!

Keep in mind Jaksch is not established as a key position player but to only lose 10 or so spots down in draft it seems an ok deal. Hopefully he becomes a quality key defender or key forward. We need a least 2 more so if is one of them might end up handy trade in long term. Know very little about the other guy.

Mark Whiley could very well be the Anthony Miles of 2015. Won the NEAFL Player of the Year in 2013. He's a tough inside midfielder at around 190cms and great around the stoppages. Has also tagged some big names and performed very admirably. He'll provide much needed midfield depth. "He is a player that was being sought for a trade in his own right and so while he is an add-on to the Jaksch deal he is more than an irrelevant "steak knives" sweetener to getting the other deal done".
