I reckon he'd be the wrong age demographic for Brisbane. They're basically rebuilding.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Matt Suckling

It was reported Brisbane decided not to pursue Suckling, which allowed us to re-enter the race for him.

Brisbane most likely pulled the pin on signing Suckling as it would have impacted on their Leuenberger compensation. Good fortune for us.

Jumper presentation today at 2.30pm.

Number 20 seems logical.

Looks like he's been celebrating hard for the last week!

Says he will play wing, half forward role.

Grant's role. Fair call

Sheesh we've got a few that compete for that role: Macrae; Picken; Hunter; Dickson; Stringer; Stevens; Dahlhaus; Bontempelli; Johannisen; Biggs; Daniel; McLean; Honeychurch; Dale; Hrovat; Webb and Grant!

He was sub for the Hawks in a lot of games this year. I just hope this works out as the Hawks don't let many good ones get away.

Maybe they are looking after us after the Lake trade worked out so well for them.
I think we have a lot of credit in the bank with the hawks after that trade.

I know a lot of young men only shave about once a week but if the club is putting you out there it can't be too hard to clean yourself up a bit.

Do you really believe that would happen? Personally I doubt it highly.

I don't think there is any residual credit. Yes some clubs prefer to deal with others but each deal has to stand up.
He wasn't dealt, they didn't put a good enough offer in front of him and he accepted our offer.

I thought he was only sub in the Collingwood game, and in the grand final? (although I'm not 100% sure).

I have had my doubts about the merit of this one too - but resolved myself that he is good enough to play 73 games in the last 3 seasons for the best team in the business...and we haven't given up anything for him.
