    Not if you only have three vacant spots on the list

    Re: Bulldogs to speak to Hall

    Think EVERY club, including ours is going to turn a fair bit of their list over at the end of the year, with the GC coming in in 2011....whatever early draft picks we can get our hands on and keep will be extreamly valuable

    I wouldnt be happy giving anything earlier than a 4th round pick for Barry

    His contract is also very important...we are going to pay him the mega bucks he was on at Sydney, but i'd love to see him get paid bonus $$$s for Bulldog wins that he plays in on top of his base

    Wouldnt want to see the club do a Crofty on him though, dont want him going berzerk

    On the contrary, if he plays with us next year it will be on OUR terms otherwise he is finished as an AFL footballer. Base contract with a behavioual clause that lets us release him without paying him out if he has a brain fade is what I would be pushing for.

    Will we really go another year with only 3 draft picks?

    There is no reason why we can't pick up Hall & go in with at least 4 selections in the draft, we may very well also drop a few rookies as well, there would be another few selections.

    It's a chance, remember it's really only 2/3 of a draft.

    Pick 15 is equal to pick 22 in a normal year.
    Pick 32 is equal to pick 48
    Pick 48 is equal to pick 72.

    What are we likely to get with (the equivalent of) pick 100 that we won't get in the rookie draft?

    When I read your first post I thought you were either a bit deranged or else I wanted some of what you were smoking, but;

    Sydney need a back-up ruckman, especially if they're sending White forward.

    He's only 26.

    They're going to get nothing for Hall, and we're the only club interested; why wouldn't they at least have a good look at it.
    ^^^^^
    That's a really persuasive post and you changed my mind. Skip could/would be fairly useful for the Swans and it might just be in his best interests to put a plan like that to him.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite
