Doesn't Davey want around $600,000 per year?
I think i heard on the radio that was his asking price, not many clubs would fork out that much.

I asked the question directly at the time and got a laugh as a response.We were never interested a bit.
I'm convinced the media either get fed bullshit intentionally by the player managers trying to help their own cause or simply make stuff up.
It was reported earlier this year that we were interested in Marcus Drum. The reply I got was,"I'd rather Damian Drum".
Don't believe everything you read this time of year. Journo's read BigFooty too.
I actually think Rocket handles fringe players brilliantly.
I am on record as being passionately against trading. My main issue is how do you ask for passion and loyalty if you are going to pimp blokes around to the highest bidder?
Have a look at the blokes who have wanted out recently - McMahon, Power, Everitt... Common link? All lack hardness and intensity that doesn't fit in with Rocket's style.
I think Rocket deliberately upsets blokes he want to be shot of so that to the rest of the team it looks like they want out rather than the club offering them about.

Guess this didn't amount to anything?

For which I'm very pleased about although there was a bit more than just speculation to this story. For a contracted player to be permitted by the club to be interviewed by at least 2 clubs I know of indicates the club was at least open to the idea of a trade. Very pleased that the club held their ground and didn't fire sale Dre. The salary cap pressure must've made it tempting.
Dre should feel really satisfied that we did our best but that other clubs didn't rate him as highly as we do hope he pulls his finger out now !!
bulldogs are forever not just when they are winning
I'm very glad we kept Dre hopefully he has a big Pre-Season and a cracking 2010
