Trade Rumours 2024

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Would Callaghan be massive though? We would need to give up a ton and like, what does he actually do? He looks like a million bucks but he’s nowhere near as impactful as you’d assume he is.

I tend to agree with Callaghan. The upside with Callaghan is he still has a lot of physical development to come.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I've had a a couple of calls in recent days from Bulldogs supporters asking if the Butters too the Dogs speculation has any merit

Other names we are apparently been speaking to clubs about are
Angus Sheldrick
Campbell Chesser
James Peatling
Finn Callaghan

So we're chasing an inside mid bull (hard)?
Ok, but what about a small forward?

I'm a little surprised we're only linked to mids at this stage, including NOD.

A small forward of quality should be a huge priority for us. The game is changing and a smaller forward set-up will become a higher priority for clubs.

It's early days in terms of players we might be linked to.

In regards to Callaghan, we currently don't have the trade currency to make that and given he's been a regular player for GWS and is contracted they're not letting him go without getting an 'overs' offer.

I'm sure Geelong and Smith will help us out there...

Callahan would be massive. We need to throw the sink at him.

Callaghan has bulldog connections . I worked with his father and his wife is related to Bevo . They catch up for Xmas lunch etc .
I?m not sure the exact relation but Bevo might be Finn?s uncle.

His Mum is Bevo's wife's cousin.

Running runs in the family. Callaghan’s father, Brett, played a bit of football. But he was an ace athlete, good enough to win the national 400m championship and compete at the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

Callaghan senior had countless kick-to-kick sessions with his son in the backyard of the family’s Parkdale home.

More recently they’ve done a lot of running.

“The sprint training with dad in the off-season has helped me a fair bit, I think,’’ he said.

So too have a few quiet words of encouragement from Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge, whose wife, Dana, is a cousin of Callaghan’s mother, Lara.

Finn was a St Kilda supporter. He switched to the Bulldogs when Beveridge landed the coaching position in 2015.

“I really wanted him to do well,’’ he said. “Within 24 hours of him getting the job I started going for the Doggies.’’

I know nothing about him and I think we have heard this story before.

Is he any good?

192cm wing/midfielder. 23 games this year, averaging 23 disposals. Went pick 3 in 2021 between 2 handy types in Sam Darcy and Nick Daicos. GWS would want a king's ransom with 1 year still left on his contract.

No way, that would be an unbelievable result for him. In a forward line with:
- Cox, Miocheck, DeGoey , Elliott, Hill, Hoskin Elliott.

Pies are always on the agenda for Jake, that's his problem.

Thankyou Axeman for my daily giggle.

Hoskin Elliot can pay anywhere, and teams run a 7 player forward rotation these days anyway (including bench spot).

McStay is a lock there when fit too
