Re: Trade Dunkley
No Treloar to the Dogs either. Spewing a bit but fair enough if we held firm on salary

Re: Trade Dunkley
Can't help but feel disappointed at no AT.
Other clubs are improving their list, we aren't.

You can keep your avatar, though.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Martin helps quite a bit I'd proffer.
Hannan's going to have nice year in the VFL though.

Agreed. Better to not accept a shit deal, but both can be right at the same time.

Just like last year, most of the improvement from the Bulldogs will come from within, given the age demographic.
One of the youngest teams in the comp, youngest by a mile in the last two finals, trading for ready-made players was to assist the squad, not transform it. (Think of Whorethorn. Drafted guns but added ready-made players when and if needed).
Treloar would be nice but not for $700k a year.

Yep - that sums it up pretty well.
I felt like our list could have done with a shake-up. Like that we didn't give in to Essendon, but wish we found a way to get Treloar across.
