Should we make a play for Ben Mckay

[bulldogtragic]

Same for me, but gut feel is Himmelberg stays a Giant

Unless there’s a family reason, it finally looks like an exciting place to be.

We seem to holding our trade activities close to our chest so hopefully there’s a good KPD somewhere in our mix ready to impact next year.

Hindsight is wonderful. Honestly no regrets on Richards though.

It was the leftover from either Richards or O'Brien, whoever Carlton didn't take
Richards got stuck in traffic, was late for the meeting with Carlton, they took Lachie O'Brien and the rest is history.

Melbourne - Lever and May say hello

Have you raised them as they were trades in? I was thinking Harrison Petty.

I’ve always said I love Melbourne traffic!

Well you said:

Reality is we need to identify and draft our own. We need to get better at this.

GWS, Crows, Melbourne, West Coast, Fremantle all manage to identify key defenders late in drafts and nail the picks.

Even Melbourne had to go and trade in defenders.

Petty was drafted the same year we drafted another defender (at the time) Naughton.

Me too-I even swear about it.

A strategy we could use for future drafts presuming the player prefers us, ha ha.

Ok thanks for that.

I'd throw the kitchen sink at Sam Taylor ... I think that he would shore up our backline better than Himmelberg (not that I'd be angry if Himmelberg signed with us)

His dreamy handsomeness would win you and every Bulldog over I'm sure.

Speculation that Dougal Howard could be available as the Saints are looking to get into the draft. Nick Coffield is apparently also available for a trade but clearly a more 3rd tall defender type.

Wonder if Hunter Clark will be back on the table?

I'm not sure Dougal Howard is someone who would add to our defence, only to our frustrations.

What’s Howard worth now as a trade?

Now Clark is a little interesting. Depending on a thorough medical.

I'd imagine the same with Ben McKay. With Jones in the team next year while Bussliner, JOD and Darcy develop I get the attraction of bringing in an established tall.

According to my Saints mate Lyon is over Howard so a 2nd rounder to get him and his contract away from RSEA Park will be sufficient. From memory the Saints gave 2 x 1st rounders to Port for Howard and Ryder.

They got back a higher first too which they used on Hill.

A F2 and lesser salary… he hasn’t really lived up the expectations there though. Would he do any better with us?
