    I think that we got the picks that we picked Gia and Mich Hahn with. Or Hargrave and Mich Hahn that we got for Leon Cameron.

    You may as well trade Woofa, PG and the statue of EJ while you're at it.
    Everything you say about Macrae is correct and I can't imagine a scenario where we would even consider a trade
    Will that always be the case? I'm not so sure because who knows where and when the next Josh Bruce scenario occurs where a club like ours may not be able to commit to a contract length one of the star players is demanding

    I do not like the way the competition is trying to make an almost express way for any player out of contract or wants to head home because he is homesick to be traded as eventually loyalty to the likes of Macrae and Bontempelli will be tested

    The next 5 years will be a big test for clubs like our to maintain the players we have grown to love

    Not if we are winning. If we are winning and a GENUINE chance of a flag, the top end players will stay...the only ones who will leave will be our equivalent of Ellis at the Tiges - on a salary that kinda/sorta has out-paced his value and due for a new deal where a 'realignment' is needed...

    Bont and Macrae? If they are playing deep into September and being looked after financially, why would they leave? If we look after the winning bit by being smart during the trade period, smart-lucky at the draft, focus on player development, continue to invest in our facilities (every player loves to see shiny new toys in the medical room/weight room)....again, WHY would they leave?

    I honestly don't understand how another club could pay Bont more than we could as he is simply worth more to our club than any other...and a lot of his personal brand is based on character/loyalty/honesty etc...a change of club would strip that away...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    There is the Eagleton/Monty trade in detail. I think that the pick 28 went on Troy Chaplin


    Nathan Eagleton Port Adelaide Western Bulldogs Brett Montgomery and draft pick #28


    The Cameron trade;


    Leon Cameron Western Bulldogs Richmond draft picks #37 and #66


    Pick 37 was Gia and pick 66 went on Hargrave. We did stunningly well!
