    Dogs after Essendon's Lovett.

    Afetr the game spoke with the HUN who say we are one of three clubs after Lovett.

    Dons want a first rounder...

    Thoughts?

    Not worth a first rounder and not the type of player that I would've thought we would be interested in.

      For some odd reason I was thinking about that today.

      Damaged goods but could be very useful.

      Is it fair to say that in this draft, picks are more highly valued than above average players?

      If so, Dons might be lucky to get to even get a second rounder for him?

        Would add a heap of speed.

        IN this draft, not more than a second rounder.

          Maybe an early third rounder. Street + 3rd rounder to Melbourne, their third rounder to Essendon, Lovett to us. The guy has a lot of talent and could give back a bit of that run which we have lost.

            What about Street and third straight to Essendon.

              Re: Dogs after Essendon's Lovett.

              First round pick? Absolutely not.

              He is however, a quality player, and I would be interested in luring him to the club. His type of run & carry with explosive pace is something we really need. He's a little inconsistent at times and his attitude has a question mark over it, but all things being equal, it's an intelligent move to play around with because he's an exciting player.

                Hey I may actually have been right about a possible target for us.

                As i said in some other thread, he may be that third attacking mid we've been after.

                  Given his youth, he could be important with the retirements of Johnson & Akermanis by the end of 2010.

                        Re: Dogs after Essendon's Lovett.

                        From the HUN:

                        The Western Bulldogs, West Coast and Fremantle have all expressed interest in the wayward 25-year-old's services should he become available.

                        Fremantle coach Mark Harvey said the Dockers would look at their list and then perform due diligence on which players to recruit.

                        "We'll discuss it in the coming weeks. I had a lot to do with him when I was at Essendon, but I haven't spoken to him in a while. Is he on the outer, we don't know," Harvey said.

                        The Bulldogs head of recruiting Scott Clayton was also coy when probed about Lovett.

                        "We've got finals to worry about first," Clayton said.

                        "We read that he is available. We've got an open mind, but we're also committed to a father-son, so we'll see what happens."

                        West Coast management was unavailable for comment.

                        It is believed Lovett will seek a contract worth about $280,000 a season, and that Essendon is seeking a low first-round draft pick in exchange.

                        Lovett could be involved in Essendon's play for out-of-contract Brisbane Lion Michael Rischitelli.
                        ....


                        Interesting. That says to me and the footy world that Ayce is our first rounder...

                          We could definately do with his pace but the club have already said we have committed our 1st pick on Cordy.

                          West Coast and Freo were mentioned as being interested as well. Would they part with their 2nd rounders (West Coast will have two remember)?

                            Again interested but not for a first round pick.
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              Oh my god i love some of the writers in the HUN, one minute they say West Coast are interested but in same article say they couldnt get hold of West Coast, so how do they know they are interested?
                              Talk about making up stuff.
                              Rischitelli , now thats interesting, wasnt he a Western Jets player? Maybe get him back home?
                              Would love to have him, a centreman who knows where the goals are and can kick them.

                              Lovett to Freo or West Coast, sounds like he belongs there with the history they all have.
                              Clayton didnt hold back did he with letting the footy world know who we are taking.
