    Sherman a Bulldog

    THE Western Bulldogs have secured Brisbane Lions forward Justin Sherman in a trade deal.
    After days of negotiations, the Lions this afternoon accepted the Bulldogs' offer of the Jarrod Harbrow compensation pick in return.

    The pick, recieved by the Dogs for losing Harbrow to the Gold Coast, is likely to be in the high twenties.

    Sydney had attempted to lure Sherman, but he held firm despite the attraction of a four-year deal at the Swans.

    From Mark Stevens Herald Sun.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    They doing business over the weekend then?

    Still not sure about this bloke... When he's on he looks decent although he has a tendancy to butcher the ball... And when he's not, well he's nowhere near it...

    Anyway hopefully he blossoms with us.

    So in effect, we got Sherman for Harbrow, both quick, Harbrow younger but Sherman has the bigger body and can play in the middle, both have OK skills at best.

    Fair deal?

    Harbrow's a better player because he's more consistent, but overall I think we'd be pretty happy with this.

    Also had no right boot which held his kicking back. Hopefully Sherman has an opposite foot.

    This has been a faily constant area of criticism about him.

    Then hopefully Grant can show him how to kick a banana really well.

    Hopefully this is good for us! Personally, I don't know much about him! I have to admit that other teams players are just guys in different jumpers, and I don't often take that much notice of them! Welcome Justin!
