    The Western Bulldogs will take their prized selections to the AFL draft

    THE Western Bulldogs will take their three prized selections to the draft after ruling out any last-minute trades for them and declaring they "need to hit the target".

    KOBY Stevens' TAC Cup club says the Western Bulldogs have just acquired a tough and fearless midfield wrecking ball on the cheap...End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
    The Dogs hold picks 5, 6 and 22 – the best clutch of first-round picks outside of wooden spoon side Greater Western Sydney – and have already secured Lachie Hunter under the father-son rule and brutal West Coast midfielder Koby Stevens.

    Not bad, 5, 6, 22, in the first round, plus Stevens and Hunter and we can use pick 51 to either trade for another player or in the draft. Best position we have been in for a long time.

    Agree its a pretty good result. We'll get Hunter at a bargain price and 3 nice, early picks, with quality running reasonably deep in that part of the draft. I think we've done reasonably well.

    My opinion too BAD I really think the club is heading in a great direction our selections last year were pretty good. Hard at it types with good head on their shoulders who want to learn and can play.

    Let's hope we can draft 3 players who can do this by foot. Good chance for Dalrymple to get stuck into some high picks and unearth some gems.

    He's done very well with some later selections but you are a 100% spot on that he needs to get these early ones right.

    Some skillful players on draft day would certainly be a great addition.

    I think he will, hopefully he gets four picks, he has a good eye for talent.
    Having said that BMAC is a big believer that once you get past pick 40 odd the odds of making it are a lot, lot less. So we may trade pick 51 also.

    Let's also remember playing in 3 prelims didn't give us high draft picks so we were like hawthorn are now, forced to recruit older players because the picks we had didn't weigh up to players who had been in the system a few years and the premiership window was open.

    I'm undecided on Toy.

    The heart condition is a real concern, although reports are that it has been blown out of the water a little in reference to that "100 bpm" comment made by a doctor.

    He hasn't shown anything at AFL level and he was physically developed in the U18s compared to his peers.

    I'd probably pass.

    Could well be. His problem is getting the footy, and plus he may push our mate Vez out!
