Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
That's the sort of innovative solution that might be worth considering. In the past that might have been seen as tampering but now that clubs can effectively sell picks it might very well be in play.
Good suggestion BT

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
No way are they giving away Sinn cheaply. High draft pick who has barely been fit but everytime he is seems to be in the selection mix.
Dylan Williams could be a candidate. Had his breakout year this year but despite that was often pushed into the sub role. Good medium size, not especially quick but a very good piercing kick and seems decent overhead. I think he fits the general defender mould (which typically play taller at Port), but with a damaging kick. BZT is a taller but similiar athletic profile, I don't know if they see Williams being best 22 once he arrives.
I like Drew as well, but he is a regular in the lineup.
Francis Evans seems to be a well built and more effective version of what we are trying to get the likes of McNeil to be in our lineup. He might be worth getting in the ear of.
On the plus side unlike other years we have been given a months notice to start talking to these guys so hopefully that bigger run in than we got with Brisbane last year enables us to convince one to come over.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Williams was great against us earlier in the season.
I was surprised to look through their side for the semi and he wasn't in it.
Good suggestion. be a yes please for mine.

Did his hammy the week before.
Concur with the previous comments on Farrell - he's obviously a beautiful kick but he cannot defend one-on-one to save himself. He is basically an inferior version of Dale in that regard, and I don't want any more players in our back half who cannot actually defend one-on-one when required.

Well maybe he doesn't want to move to remain depth (if Soldo goes) and sees Melbourne building up salary cap with a 32 year old Gawn and sees a spot for himself here longer term?

If he’s staying, it’s hard not to think one reason might be Tim not being here. Melbourne have 6 & 11…

Well, in the event he does stay that gives us another 12-months worth of weekly content on WOOF.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Does that mean GVGjr keeps open or shuts WOOF?

If he shuts WOOF I'll do whatever GG is going to do if we don't take Sanders.

Apparently this was just Barrett theorizing and it's not based on anything so don't anyone get their hopes up about FFC remaining the land of candy

I don’t want to enter that domain, but pretty sure it might be taken and not be footy related.
